l 4'llI'l'4ltlA' U place with its hills, trees, springs and all Nature's beauties, is an inspiration to every eznnper. Nziwalawzi is more than physical equipment, although its modern plumbing, well-equipped library, screened cabins, and heart-lifting outdoor Temples, are all aids in zxnswering the needs of all the campers. N:ixx':1l4wa is tod:1y's inllilhnent of yesterday's vision, and it is today's vision of ton1orroxx s hopes. The vision can be found in the heart of all Nawakwans, the campers, the eonnselors. the teachers and administrators. And the fulfillment of that vision de- pends on the dedication of each camper to carry out the important and inclusive camp ann: To discover leadership, To train leadership, To link leadership to the church. This can be done as Nawalcwans, by God's grace, pray with Paul, Lord, what Wilt Thou have me to do l ' PRAYIER THE XAn',x1in',x HYMN Note: For those groups who do not have the American Youth Hymnal, the following hymns from the Common Service Book are suggested: May XVe, Thy Precepts, Lord, Fulf1l'l ---- ...........,...

But every anniversary celebration must have two parts: to paraphrase Charles Lamb, each anniversary is a resting place for thought and meditation, and a starting point for fresh exertion. The year 1949 is the nrst of a new score of years. Wlieii the beloved founder of Nawakwa gazed on the hills, and on boys and girls, he beheld a vision of camp and campers. The hills were to blossom forth with cabins and fountains, pool and class- rooms, places to rest and places to worship. Long-limbed boys were to grow to become Navy chaplains, mission pastors, doctors, Christian laymen in all walks of life. Eager- eyed girls were to find themselves in far-off mission fields, in deaconess garbs. as teachers, nurses, secretaries, mothers, all telling with their lips and lives of their Christ. And the transformation was to be wrought through experiences in camp. And it all came to pass. D This might have been only a dream. Perhaps the difference between a dream and a vision is that nothing happens after a dream, but much happens after a vision. NVeb- ster says the terms are synonymous-but suggests that a dream is the state of mind of an abstracted person, while a vision is that which requires a person of more than ordinary sight and imagination. The diderence between a dream and a vision is akin to the difference between abstraction and action. Isaiah and Samuel and Paul all had visions too, that came to pass. Those visions might have been only dreams. But notice that when the vision came to Isaiah. he answered, Here am I, send mc. Samuel said, Speak, l.ord, for Thy servant hearethf' Auf' Paul cried out, Lord, what wilt Thou have ine to do! flilvery true vision is followed hy action. '.l.'hat is how Naxvalaxva grew. .-Xnd that is how Nawalcwa must grow iu the luture. Nawaluva is more than a place. although the

High St., Carlisle Message To The Alumni With one of our greatest years behind us, we are already looking ahead to our l949 camping season. The new faculty lodge to be known as The LaVene Grove Lodge will be in use by that time. Our Alumni Association is endeavoring to raise 35,000 to help with the cost oi this building. Will you as alumni members make yourself responsible to ask other members of our association and friends in your church or district if they wouldn't like to contribute to this good cause? No amount is too small! Some members are sending their tithe money for a month. some have had special otiferings taken in their churches and still others are having special programs to promote the work. Please send all contributions to our treasurer, Florence Reitz, .2018 .-Xllen St.. Allentown.
