Dear Parents and Brothers:
i have been sleeping nearly the

to have a clear idea or two to write.
Our camp schedule of rising at $50

would Ike and then did not complete

4th's of my life. We had long want
ed to visit the capital again as only a
small portion of the historic things
in Washington may be- seen in . day.
We. carried out our purpose of get
ting an early start but the poor train
connections and crowded cars prevent
ed US reaching the capital before IL
a. m. We went first to the White
house, walked around it; held inter-
esting conversations with the guards
about getting in to see the president
but without much satisfaction. We
compromised by telling the guard to
say "hello" to the president when he
saw him.
We ate a Washington dinner with
out noticing any difference between it
and any other dinner as we are all
eating periodically these days. in
other words, less.
Our plan was to go out to Mt. Ver-
non and hear the presidents address
of the day. But when arriving at the
X. r. station there was such a mob
lined up for tickets and having simil-
ar plans to our own that we realized
the impossibility of all of us going.
But it takes Northern Yank to steer
himself through and eliminate the
reddish tape. So we found to our
satisfaction that buying tickets was
largely red tape, that the principle
thing to do was to board a car or
bust. | for one, nearly did the lat

The old clock on the mantle was

prominence, was the most soiled and

Everything you see is the express

which you worship. the automobile
IN which you rode here or the home
in which you live. Everything you

whether II Is the watch by which you

sail, the railway train. Everything
you see is the expression OF thought.
that is. the tangible, visible results
OF mans meditation in the woKld.
And 50 the electricity blazing above,
my head, the telephone, all that is
the expression OF the thought OF
somebody, but where there is no
vision the people perish.
Edison had a vision that It would
be better TO light our homes with

there is no vision, the people perish.
GOD knows his business. Don't sit
there like an ass as though God Al
mighty is trying to cram something
down your throat that you can get
along without. And when God wants
you TO be Christians and serve him
It Is because, my friends. you are
