“I liked to use my jack-knife.
One Monday we carved things. We
had fun hiking along the beach on
Tuesday. The hamburgers tasted
real good on our buddybumers at
Camp Dexter on Wednesday. We
had a good time on the raft. Pat
rol 2 won the treasure hunt on
Thursday. We learned how to
make a trench fire and made
‘somores’ on Friday. I have had
a very nice time at Brownie Day
Camp.

NOME DANCERS RETURN
FROM ESKIMO OLYMPICS
Paul Green, loader of the troop
of Nome Eskimo Dancers, return
ed from Fairbanks where they had
competed with Kotzebue and Bar
row groups during the recent Es
kimo Olympics.
He said that the Barrow dancers
won first place because near the
end of the contest they surprised
everyone by producing an old
! time Eskimo dancer, with fur
pants, smoking an old-time Es
kimo pipe and wearing many
other decorations which are not
i usually seen today. This, he said,
really pleased the audience.
Green said that Nick Gray was

Enrollment Boost
WASHINGTON W —The House
has passed a bill that would raise
the authorized enrollment of the
Military and Air Force Academies
to that of the Navy Academy—
from 2,529 cadets to 4,417.
Before passing the measure
Tuesday on a voice vote, the
House attached a requirement that

LESSONS IN RELIGION
Many spiritual truths can be
illustrated by referring to com
parisons in the physical world. God
is like the sun. As the physical
sun is the source of all light and
heat and does not come down to
earth but sends its life-giving rays;
God is the source of spiritual light,
and being infinite, cannot come
down to earth but sends His power
through the Holy Spirit reflected
in His messengers, who, as perfect
mirrors perfectly reflect the Word
of God.
God’s blessings in the physical
world are all-inclusive. Sunlight
and rain nourish the whole earth.
Food is available to all people in
every land and the children of God
find material sustenance through
out the world and in every age.
These blessings are not exclusive,
no one, is left out. Why then
should the leaders of religion in
every age claim exclusive spiritual
blessings for their faith. Surely if
God has provided the material
blessings for all, some provision
must have been made for spiritual
blessings for all in every age.
And so it has. Through the suc
cession of Major Prophets all the
areas and each age in the world
have received heavenly blessings.
This is called Progressive Revela
tion and is one of the basic beliefs
of the Baha’i World Faith.
