Thousands of visitors from practically

on the National Pike continue to visit
the historic fort and it is predicted that
by the end of the season, all previous
records will have been broken.
Work OF reconstructing the fort, which
began about two years ago, is practical
~ completed, according to Captain Harry
V. Cargar, camp commander. Practically
all OF the improvements made at the site
have been accomplished by the CCC COM
pany stationed there The walls of the
old fort have been restored as thew were
at the time when the fort was originally
erected as protection against Indians
and the French, prior to the Revolution
airy War, following Braddocks defeat
Among the most interesting discoveries
made during the work of restoration were
the foundations of the officers quarters
within the fort proper. An old well, also
within the walls, is likewise an object
OF interest to the thousands of visitors
This well furnished water to the several
hundred settlers who sought protection at
the fort from the savage Indians.
Fort Frederick was built in 1855 and
Is the only fort left dating back to the
French and Indian War. According to
historians, the original cost of the Fort
was approximately $4,000 and the work
was done under the supervision of Cover

40 boys have accomplished all the i'm
provements in and around the this site,
and as a result the camp is one of the
most attractive in the State of Mary
land. The style of architecture of CO
lonial days is being maintained.
A fine job has been done at Fort
Frederick and a most valuable historical
place kept for future generations. The
Fort, prior to the coming of the CCC
boys was rapidly going into decay and
no doubt would have been obliterated
and it's historical value lost to poster

Churches Invite Attendance
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Paul'S words to the Corinthians,
The Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God" con-
stitute the golden text in the les
scn-Sermon on Spirit" on Sunday
in all Christian Science churches,
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, in Boston, Mass.
The lesSon-sermon includes these
verses from Paul'S letter to the Ro-
mans: There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after
the flesh, but after the Spirit. For
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me free from The
law OF sin and death. For they
that are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things OF
the Spirit"
Among the correlatiye passages
from Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy, are the words: Unless the
harmony and immortality of man
are becoming more apparent, we are
not gaining the true idea of God;
and the body will reflect what gov
ems 1t, whether it be Truth or er-
ror, understanding or belief, Spirit
or matter, Therefore 'acquaint now
myself with Him, and be at peace. ."
