A camp baseball league OF eight
teams is becoming one of the big
features of the encampnent. But
the game of the Goddess lola, y
played between the Guards" and
the Men, the two factions includ-
ing every camper on the southern
shoe Of the iahe, is another of the
popular sports of the camp which
is interesting from sun-up TO sun
down every day. The Guards have
SO far successfully defended the
Goddess, whose lnsigni1icance as
the head of sawdust doll does not
detract in the least from the vivac-
ity OF the sorties made by the Men
to find her.
Scouting activities have not been
forgotten in the daily routine OF
camp, and the woods lying but a
short distance to the east along
the lake shore affords wonderful
opportunity to the scoutmasters to
instill Workmanship into the lads
from the city. Tree telling, fire
building, cooking over an open fire
nature study, and the many lntrica-
cies of the craft are here read from
the open book of nature in a way
that is impressive to the scout whit
has of necessity learned much Of
the lore only through manuals.
I Two days a week are spent al
the camp by Professor Paarman
curator of the Davenport Acad-
envy of Science, and his hours al
the camp are filled with trips into
the woods and fields with tn,
scouts, whose ignorance of thu
tanciful feats of the Creator is al
ready giving way to ardent curios
ity and interest.
! But OF course. there are NOR,
than as many pastimes at Scout
haven which a fellow doesn't hav,
to learn to like. Just for instance
there is fishing at any time be car

not very often, but when he does i

All truth is important, but all
truth does not possess the same
value. There are truths not in de-
mand. To place them on tie mar
ket requires deal of expensive ad-
vertising. Then there are truths
that are already in demand, truths
that sell themselves.
There are truths which preserve
the truths which must be preserved,
truths which defend. and truths
which must be defended. truths
which preach and truths which will
not preach.
When the truth becomes SO de-
crepit that it must be taken care
of, it is about time to retire it from
active service and place it on the
pension roll.
There is a lot of religion which
consists in trying to keep in circu-
lation WORKOUT truths. There was
a day when they were in demand
and did good service, but that day
! has passed. Those truths have had
their say. They have fully delivered
their message. The world has no
quarrel with them. 1t is simply not
! interested.
| Would it not be better for relig-
: ion to handle live article? Can
the church hope to get anywhere BY
saying nobody denies and nobody
feels the end of Affirming? A truth
that has to be kept in a glass case
belongs not to the laboratory, but
to the museum. A truth that has
to be protected is powerless to pro-
tect. A truth the church must save
is a truth that has lost its saving
efficiency.
The striking thing about thu
truth Christ preached is that il
preached itself. The Great Teacher
did not argue. He proclaimed. HI
was never on the defensive. Ere
quently His foes tried to place Hin
on the defensive. but swiftly thu
lines changed and they found
themselves struggling to be extri

Let Briggs retrospect if he
wishes. but if you want to see real
fun from the way boys of 1920 en-
joy it you'll have to take a weekend
trip to Scouthaven, at Spring brook,
Dewitt, Iowa, where troopers Of
Rock Island and Davenport scout
councils are. For that is the place
where sOnnies teach daddies how to
play.
Give a Teller three squares day;
the whole out OF doors in which to
revel; just enough supervision to
keep him from having any idle
moments and TO keep him out the
troubles of harm; gang of his
mates to help him make the most
of IA hours every day-say, Pop,
you don't even know what a good
time is! When you were kid, you
didn't even have such a place as
Scouthayen!
Sure you had your swimmin' hole,
and your fishIn' in the creek under
the old log just beyond the second
bend, and the bunch went out into
the woods-but was your gang al
ways ready to do just what you
wanted to do? Don't you remember
how every time, at least it seemed
so, you wanted to go somewhere
to play ball and you needed Skinnay
, to catch because he was the only
guy that had mask, pretty near
every time his ma caught him
.sneakipg over the back fence and
made him come back and work
"'Cuz he didn't asst if he dast go?"
And SO you had to call off the game
and just laid around all morning
with nothing to do! W..
Wasn't that the way It went most
of the time?
But the kids of today have gotten
the edge on time! At least they
have at Scouthaven, for allotted to
every minute of the day at the
scout rendezvous there is some
thing that must be done; and, be-
cause there is always gang ready
to DO the same thing, no matter how
irksome it would have been alone
with plenty Of poppy company the
tasks are overcome with happy
spirit of comradeship which is only
ifOrerunner to ample antagonism fol

BOOKS and THINGS

In the the highest civilization
the book II still the highest de-
light"-Emsrson.
In the August issue q Asia, the
American magazine containing nm
usually we'll written articles and
stories, and . host OF interesting
facts OF the little known orient,
Mrs. Robertson Scott in "Warrine
Aentalities," thus describes the dif-
ference between the japanese and
Korean minds.
Japanese ofiicialdom holds. 4.
militarists have always held, real
power to be material might The
Korean. who appears to the Japan
ese 70 be . feeble fellow, has
grasped the fundamental truth that
unity OF mind in . nation is real
power. The usual outstanding Diff
ference between the japanese and
the Korean seems to be that the
japanese has q literal and the
Korean . metaphysical mind. A lad
OF "A. under arrest, was asked by
the officials, Who put you up to
this? Pointing to the chief Of DO
lice he answered wittily, There is
the man who made me do it. The
Japanese merely thought the boy
crazy.
Another typical Korean rejoinder
is the reply OF a girl of 20 to her
Judge after hours Of wearisome
trial. She had said that she was
seeking independence for her coun-
try. How can you Koreans get
independence? asked the Judge
scornfully. What is Independence!
independence? said the girl, and
her eyes looked beyond the stuffy
court, What is independence? All!
Independence is happy thought

" hich their own foolish questions
had plunged them. .-.-
The only thing Christ asked of
His followers was to make His
truth known. He was no after de-
tenders, but proclaimers. He
sought a voice. Let the truth be
preached, and it will take care Of
itself. 1t is not controversy that it
needed, but proclamation. When
the Gospel message loses the virile
power to carry conviction, Chris
tianity will be approaching its de-
crease. I'VE shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free
