' YEAR BOOK III I I CAM P FOR AND S P I R I T U A L B E N E F I T H A p P Y F E L L O W S H I P AT “The young children ask bread and no man breaketh it unto them.” Lamen¬ tations 4: 4. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.“ Ecclesiastes 12: 1. In these dark days the world as a whole, and especially the Christian world, is ask¬ ing, “How can we hold our children and youth, what can we do to stop juvenile delinquency, and how can we train them for the Lord?”Several individuals, mindful of the situation, made it a definite point of prayer and the Lord laid it upon their hearts to open a Christian camp for child¬ ren and youth. We praise God for the way He has led. He has provided us with an appropriate camp site in the Whiteshell Forest Reserve at Red Rock Lake, approximately ninety- five miles east of Winnipeg. This is one of Manitoba’s exquisite beauty spots, with a forest of evergreens and various other trees; a clear, calm lake with a fine sandy beach; and the graceful deer which are quite prevalent, add to the beauty of the scenery. The objective of this project is the sal¬ vation of souls, and furthermore, to build them up in the faith, to give them spiritual food and Bible training. Time will also be given to wholesome recreation and super¬ vised play, however the main object shall be kept before those who attend. This is a work of faith and consequent¬ ly places a definite responsibility upon all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ and who want to see His work advance. The Lord has placed His seal of approval up¬ on this undertaking by beginning to sup¬ ply us with workers and funds. We need your prayer, funds and help to have every¬ thing in readiness by the time our first camp is to commence, on June 30, 1947, Your prayers and co-operation will be gratefully appreciated.

S. B. S • « « i When the great plants of our cities Have turned out their last finished work; When our merchants have sold their last yard of silk And dismissed the last tired clerk When the Judge of the earth says, “Close up for the night”, And asks for a balance — WHAT THEN? When the choir has sung its last anthem, And the preacher has made his last prayer; When the people have heard their last sermon And the sound has died out on the air; When the Bible lies closed on the altar; And the pews are all empty of men And each one stands facing the records — And the Great Book is opened — WHAT THEN? When the actors have played their last drama, And the mimic has made his last fun, When the film has flashed its last picture. And the billboard displayed its last run; When the crowds seeking pleasure have vanished, And gone out in the darkness again, When the trumpet of ages is sounded, And we stand before Him—WHAT THEN? When th e bugle’s call sinks into silence And the long marching columns stand still, When the captain repeats his last orders. And they’ve captured the last fort and hill. And the flag has been hauled from the mast head, And the wounded afield are checked in, And the world that rejected its Saviour, Is asked for a reason — WHAT THEN? — 20 —
