SCOUTS FIRST WAR SERVICE.

Members Of the Boy Scouts Of
America gave a practical demonstra-
ton Of the services which they can
render In an emergency when the dis
aster at the Eddystone Munition COM
pany's works occurred. More than 120
lives were lost In this explosion and
several hundred people were injured.
Word was sent to schools in nearby
towns requesting the services Of
scouts. All members were immediate
ly released from school duties and hur.
ried to Eddystone and to Chester,
where they did splendid work assist.
ing in first aid acting as guards and
doing various sorts Of patrol duty.
Their assistance was so invaluable
during this trying period that many Of
them were held for. three days. They
also came to the rescue Of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, which
was flooded with kilograms from
anxious relatives Of munition workers.

Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
ENGLISH SCOUTS GREET US

Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert s. S. Baden
Powell has written to Mr.. Colin III.
Livingstone, president of the Boy
Scouts Of America, stating that Amer
ica's entry into the war has increased
the already existing strong brotherly
feeling between the English and Ameri-
can scouts.
The English chief scout in his let
ter from London also tells something
of the work done for their country by
English Boy Scouts, as follows:
ION the great historical step taken
by the United States in coming into
the war / feel that l must send you
one word of greeting from the Boy
Scouts point Of view.
eve have done war work over here
in various forms behind the scenes,
not necessarily involving the taking up
Of arms by boys under the age for
military service, but by acting as
watchers over railway bridges, tele-
graph and cable lines, reservoirs,
power works, ETC., the lads have done
valuable national service.
"Also they have performed the du-
ties of orderlies in large numbers for
the war office, admiralty, government
and other Offices and have carried out
the constructing service ever since
the first outbreak of war. They have
also supplied trained signalers and
ambulance men where required.
II feel sure that with the training
they have received the Boy Scouts OF
America are In position to do very
valuable service for their country be-
hind the scenes In the present crisis"

SCOUTS FIND CAMP COOKS

National headquarters Of the Boy
Scouts of America recently received a
telegram from Captain Walling, Platts-
burg training camp, New York, stating
that $50 walters and 20 cooks were
needed for the 5000 men. Captain
Walling added: "Will you as pa
triotic duty assist me in securing these
menu"
Government officials have been quick
to realize that well-organized army
Of nearly 100000 boys and men could
be made available for many varieties
Of service, and this call to pass upon
cooks Is right in line with the scouts
experience and training.
Upon receipt of the telegram, let
tiers were sent to all points where it
was believed men might be secured.
Advertisements were also placed in
newspapers, calling upon men who
could do this work to show their pa
triotism by Offering their services.
The Fifth avenue building in New
York allowed scout officials to use an
office on the ground floor, and In re-
Spouse to the advertisements more
than 300 men applied for positions.
There were secured 1915 walters and
80 cooks to report at the Plattsburg
camp.

Messiah and the Savior of men. The
change this would produce in their
lives and in their attitude towards him
is very obvious.
Repentance means the same in your
case or mine. 1t means believing on
Jesus Christ as he is presented in the
Bible, and conforming our lives there
to.
(2) The Second Step is Remission
of Sins, that your sins may be blOtted
out" the sins even of these murderers
of his Son whom he had raised from
the dead, if now they would believe
on and accept him as such. And this
same promise holds good for US, no
matter what our guilt is. Though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
as white as snow, though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as WOOL"
"Blotted OUT is the translation of
Greek word which means SO much
XenophOn and DemOstheneS use it in
the sense of 'expunging" a thing.
Aeschylus employs it in the sense of
"extinguish," Herodotus to plaster
over" an object, and others to wipe
out as with sponge or a cloth. Judi
cfally considered in the sight Of God,
there is no more trace of your sins
the moment they are covered by the
blood of Christ. And that is the mo-
ment when in repentance you receive
him as your Savior by faith. That is
what Peter means in his first epistle,
| h. 30 %ho tgnI,, mt
mercy" Of God.
(3) The Third Step is Refreshing,
shat so there may come seasons of
refreshing from the presence of the
Lord" 1t suggests agriculture. There
is first the blowing up of the ground
pentance. Then there is termination
and the coming up of the blade, then
the ear, then the full corn in the ear;
that is the plotting out of sin, and the
entrance Of the sinner upon a new
life. But following this there must
be the refreshing showers of rain to
keep everything green, and to bring
the life to its complete and beautiful
fruitiOn.
And so in the spiritual life, God who
begins the good work in us continues
it. After we are saved and forgiven,
he does not leave us, to ourselves, but
provides for our growth in grace and
in his knowledge. Times of refresh
ing are sent from his presence. On
the day of sPentecost such a refresh
ing came when the disciples were
filed with the Holy Spirit. Later on
they were filed again. The same spir-
it came on them of Samaria, upon Cor
nelius and his household. and unon

SCOUT KNOWS HIS CITY.

A scout knows his city as well as he
knows the trails in the forest. He can
guide stranger wherever he desires
to go, and his knowledge of short cuts
saves him many needless steps. He
knows where the police stations are
located, where the fire-alarm boxes are
placed, where the nearest doctor lives,
where the hospitals are, and which Is
the quickest way to reach them. He
knows the names of the city officials
and the nature of their duties. A scout
Is proud of his city and freely offers
his services when he can help.

SCOUTS GUARDING THE PARKS.

Mr.. Cabot Ward, New York city's
park commissioner and Mr.. Cunning
ham, engineer inspector of parks, have
arranged with Manhattan council, Boy
Scouts Of America, to supply 100
scouts on Saturdays from 1 to p. m.
and on Sundays from 2 to 6 p: m. to
police the parks.
In Central park the scouts will be
formed into four provisional troops
under four scoutmasters who will be
deputized with police powers.
The scouts will work In pairs and
will do general police duty, calling the
peoples attention to park regulations.
In case Of any infraction Of rules they
will report to the nearest officer. By
assuming these duties the Boy Scouts
will release all but a few Of the po-
lice whom it has been necessary to as
sign to park duty.

TAKE DOWN YOUR WIRELESS.

Here's another opportunity for boys
to demonstrate their loyalty and their
scouting ability. In accordance with
an order issued by the president OF
the United States, it is illegal for any
persons not authorized government Of
ficials to operate wireless plant or
to have one in such condition as to
be capable of operation. This applies
to receiving as well as to transmitting
stations.
Every scout should dismantle has
apparatus Immediately. This means
the taking down of the antenna wire,
and the disconnecting and packing of
the instruments.
Scouts should not only dismantle
their own apparatus, but report to the

CIVIC GOOD TURNS.

The civic good turns of scouts are
adding very considerably to the COM
fort and. wellbeing of the communities
in which they live. Recently the Boy
Scouts Of Alameda, Cal, cleaned the
beaches on the south side of their city
for distance of several miles. Under
the direction of their scoutmasters the
boys of seven troops separated into
groups and cleared the stretch of
sand. Following the cleanup, they held
a scout rally and made a big bonfire of
the rubbish they had gathered.

ice which Boy Scouts can do to the
country in helping to protect animals.
much of the wild life has already
been destroyed" said Mr.. Hornaday {;
"the battle for the lives Of the remnant
is fierce. In this fight the aid of the
Boy Scout is sought. The GRANDPA
theirs of the present boy almost exter-
minated the elks and bison and the
boys father has done the same with

SCOUTS AID FIREMEN.

The fire departments in many cities
are beginning to recognize the value of
the assistance which trained Boy
Scouts can give. Under the direction
Of Robert ]. Charles the Boy Scouts
Of Knoxville, Tenn, are being trained
to assist the fire department of that
city. Whenever fire Is reported the
scout commissioner is notified, and he
in turn notifies the scouts in the city
through the officers of the various dis
trict commissions. This is part of the
plan devised by Mr.. Charles for the
mobilization Of Boy Scouts in time of
fire or other disaster.

Four Steps
in the Path of
Grace
BY REV. JAMES M. GRAY, ID.
Dean of Moody Bible Institute.
Chicago

TEXT-Repent We therefore, and turn
again, that your sins may be blotted out
that so there may come seasons Of re-
freshing from the presence Of the Lord;
and that he may send the Christ who
hath been appointed for you, even Jesus:
whom the heaven must receive until the
times of restoration Of all things, whereof
God spake by the mouth of his holy
prophets that have been from of DID,
Acts 3:19-21
Here are the four great steps in the
path of Divine grace.

the young Christians at Ephesus. The
history Of true revivals in all the cen
turtles has been a fulfillment Of this
promise. They have been times Of re-
freshing to mems souls. Every sim
cere Christian Of long experience can
look back over the years and count
the times when God has seemed to
open the windows of heaven to him
and poured out blessings on his soul.
1t is for such time Of refreshing we
plead every time we sing that familiar
verse,
Come Holy Spirit, heavenly dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Kindle flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
Oh, for such time Of refreshing to
come now in the heart Of every Chris
tan thus addressed! What treasure
on earth is comparable with such a
fresh breath from heaven!
(4) Finally, There is Reward, "that
he may send the Christ who hath
been appointed for you, even Jesus"
The coming of Jesus again is certain
event of the future, and how near it is
none Of us can know. To the wicked
and unbelieving it is q time of wrath
and of fear, but to them who have
come to God through him, it is the
time Of their salvation in the fullest
sense. 1t is the time of resurrection
if they have died, and dead or alive
when he comes, it is the time of their
glorification with him. 1t is the time
of their reward, for then will he set
up his kingdom.
Oh, who that has never done so will
be persuaded today, thus to turn to
God? Who will be moved by the ten
der pleadings of his mercy towards us
in Jesus Christ? To-day, If We hear
his voice, harden not your hearts"
