lest we forget-lest we forget"
You might have wondered, In
the beginning, whether the Boy
Scouts felt in their hearts the
meaning of the words or whether
they were only parroting their
elders.
But in a few seconds you knew
the answer.
You saw the candles flicker into
light. Only a few pricked the
darkness at first. Then the whole
open-air arena, on the ground
where Washington's troops left
bloody footprints. suddenly blazed
with the brilliance of almost $4,000
candles.
And from the throats of the
massed Scouts and their leaders at
the second National Jamboree
came other familiar words:
"Our Fathers God, to thee
Author of liberty y
It wasn't religious ceremony.
The Scouts had been to church
yesterday morning. Protestant,
Catholic. Jewish, Buddhist. Mos
lem and Hindu services were held
at the same time in a half-mile
radius.

men came together again and
