BOYS CAMP AT ELMDALE
Fine Place For Outing TO Develop
PHYSICAL Health

The first annual Lutheran Boys
camp which was held at the Y, NJ.
G. A. permanent camp at Emldale,
July II to %, was Il decided success.
The committee on boys work, Rev,
X. j. Wolf, chairman, was especially
pleased with the way the boys re-
sponded to their leadership. In all
there were 4S campers, including Z
leaders, representing s churches of
the synod of Kansas. The daily pro-
gram was well balanced and kept the
boys on the go from q Il. M. to 9:45
| p. M. The purpose Of the camp was
to aid the boys In moldng charac-
ter, in guiding them to choose life's
work in accordance with Gods plan
for each. and In building strong
bodies with which to labor more ef
fectively and happily in their chosen
tasks. The ministry. aS life's call
ing was by no means kept from the
minds of the boys, and in response
to call for candidates for that holy
office there were five boys to state
their intention to become preachers.

Rev. John A. Bright, Topeka, who is
retired from the ministry. but at the
age Of II proved to the boys that he
was still young In spirit and able to
take part in their fun. Many Of the
boys said they would be back next
year, and that they would boost the
camp among their several groups to
the end that each of the 80 cots In
the IS huts would be occupied. Sew
eral OF the boys wrote letters to the
committee, in which were briefly set
forth the benefits received at the
camp. The following letter IL copy
of the one written by Delo Selig, of
Lawrence, Kan:
MY stay at camp John A. Bright
was total pleasure in many ways.
| am hoping to come next year, If
possible. The camp gave us spiritual
help, which was through Bible study
ana chapel. Physical development
was great. Many boys learned how
to swim, which may some day save
a life, possibly their own. The camp
gave us military training in falling
in line, Obeying orders, etc. which
is good for any boy. The camp also
provided lessons in scouting and hik-
ing. which was interesting and in
and doubtless will help us
TO enjoy the open more. ! think

"Wiliam Allen White, by an act

one under less serious circum-
stances to be dismissed with an in
different shrug, has created in Kan
sas Il situation entirely unnecessary
and possibly Of serious possibilities.
He has acted like the irrepressible
kid who thinks 1t clever to rock the
boat. And unfortunately he has
done so at time when dangerous
waters are being navigated."
