SCOUT TO BE PRESIDENT

welcome any movement which will
intensity young mans attachment tc
his church and religion, says DIR. S. II.
Gordon of Tulsa. Okla.
The boy scout movement only brings
the boy in closer touch with the
church. The government now wants
men to go to the front and fight. II
wants and needs good, clean, strong
men.
AT the close of this awful world con
fiict there will be greater need for
good men than now. When this war Is
over, there will be confusion, dissatis-
faction, unrest, anarchy. high taxes,
high cost of living and demoraliza-
ton. Sorrow. mourning and distress
will prevail.
Under such conditions the nation
Will need strong, educated, religious
men as leaders. And the boy scout
movement is going to provide such
leaders. The boy scouts are prepar-
ing themselves. not to fight, not to
shed blood, but to be wise leaders,
and to conduct the people out of the
wilderness of greed supremacy and
wOrldllnesS, into the Canaan of peace
prosperity and happiness.
Some boy scout is going to be the
president of the United States. Some
scouts are going to be governors Some
Will be senators and others will occu-
py high official positions of trust and
honor.
So we want the boys to stick to their
school and their church and thereby
fit themselves to be men who will be
qualified to rule wisely under the most
trying circumstances.
