SCOUTS
nf^Nn
(Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America.)
BOY SCOUT ROUNDUP RESULT
For about tjyee months pust, the
Roy Scouts of America In every part
of the country have been engaged in
what is known as the* Anniversary
Roundup. The main purpose was to
make this program of scouting, which
stands for character building and
?citizenship training, available to more
boys in the country. In fact, a defi- I
nite in.-r-.ise of twenty-five1 per cent
net gain was aimed at, which would
bring the membership of scouts up to
the half million lyark, exclusive of
the 128, (KX) men who are giving serv
ice to this cause.
Although the main impetus of this
drive was supposed to take place
during February 8 to 15, the Thir
teenth Anniversary Week of Scouting,
and possibly the termination of the
specified period then, the following
Information is forthcoming from the
National Council office of the Boy
Scouts of America. ?
The report to the National Execu
tive board of the chief scout execu
tive states:
"The Itoundup has proven to be the
most progressive and stimulating
tn inf. yet undertaken by (he Roy
Scouts of America. It has placed the
scout movement before the general
public perhaps more effectively than
at any other one period in the history
of the movement. It has caused all of
our membership to .think more defi
nitely of the necessity of reaching
more boys. As far as results are
concerned, at this time it Is impos
Bible to say definitely what the net ]
results are. As to how many troops ,
and how many local councils have
actually earned the award of the
president's streamer for going "over
the top" with a 25 per cent increase is
not yet known. From all sources there
is evidence of a keen desire in se
curing the full net increase set up as
the original objective, namely 100,000
more boys. Although not more than
30,000 to 50,000 of this net increase
has actually been reported to the
national office so fur, it is known,
from reports that hate come in and
from personal conferences in the field,
from one end of the country to the
other, that this represents but a por
tion of the net increase, which will
eventually be reported to the national
office."
Therefore, the executive board
unanimously adopted the recommenda
tion that the time of the Roundup be
extended until the full 100,000 net in
crease has been secured, with the
understanding that th(* president's
streamers are to be awarded to all
councils which have already qualified,
and as soon as they qualify, until a
period when records show 100.000 net
increase.
It is believe*! thnt this plan will
\
serve to meet the equitable claims of
many localities, where because of sick
ness and other difficulties not un
reasonable in depending Si? largely
upon volunteer leadership,; registra
tions could not be completed -by Feb
ruary 15; and make possible a very
wholesale result for all concerned,
and at the (tame time In no way de
tract from the prestige and honor of
those who have actually earned the
-right of award with the time origi
nally specified.
It is "over the top" that the scouts
. are going without a doubt !
BOY SCOUT SAVES COMPANION
On a recent rowing trip Scout Lewis
Wood of East St. Louis. 111., and a
companion had gone about fifty yards
from shore to a point of land that was
noj covered with water, and believing
it was an island, had gotten out of the
boat to talk to some fishermen. Wood's
companion whs standing at the edge
of the water when the bank suddenly
gave way. throwing him into water be
yond his depth. He grabjted a piece
of driftwood but it was not large
enough to support him. The current
was strong at this point and carried
him 50 feet or more from the shore.
When Scout Wood saw his companion
go down he plunged into the water and |
swam to him. The drowning boy had
gone down the. second time when the I
scout reached him. After a hard strug- I
gle In the water Wood managed to se
cure a grip around his companion's
neck and swam to shore with him.
There Wood applied the Schaefer
method of resuscitation to the boy,
who was unconscious, and within about
fifteen minutes had his companion
able to stand. The National Court of
Honor has issued a letter of com
mendation to Scout Wood in recogni
tion of his valor and skill.
? BOY SCOUTS AID CITY
With the preparedness that has
gained for them ttye nation's confi
dence, boy scouts have again rendered
significant aid in time of disaster. In
the recent $12,000,000 fire that swept
the business section of Astoria, Ore.,
and left 2,500 people homeless, every
active troop of boy scouts and every
scout who has been a member of the
organization since *018, were on tJtitpr

IC ? What Christ"# Resurrection Means.
I. The Walk of Two Discouraged
Dicciples (vv. 13-15).
Emilia us was seven ami one-half
miles northwest of Jerusalem. Just
why they were walking this way we do
not surely know. Perhaps their home
was there, or they were merely wal Ic
ing to seek relief from their stunning
sorrow. If they had believed what
Jesus told tlujm about Ilis death und,*
resurrection they would have escr.ped
this great disappointment. Uunellef
causes many heartaches and disap
pointments. One of these disciples was
Cleopas, but the other is unknown.
The topic of conversation was the
tragedy of the cross and the resurrec
tion rumors. So little had His teach
ing about His resurrection impressed
them that the reports which the wom
en brought were as idle tales to the n.
If they had believed what He said
about coming forth from the grave
they would have been expecting to
hear just such reports as were being
circulated. *
II. The Unrecognized Companion |
(vv. 16-24).
. 1. Who He Wns. Jesus. While they
reasoned together on the wonderful
events of the last few days on this
Journey, Jesus joined them. Even when
lie questioned them concerning their
sadness they did not recognize Hiw.
Many times we are so taken up with
our sorrows and disappointments that
we do not recognize Jesus though
walking by our side. How grieved
He must be to be unrecognized as He !
walks by us?in our sorrows and trials.
2. His Question (v. 17). Perceiving
their sadness and perplexity He sought
to help them by calling forth a state
ment of their grief. This question sur
prised them and caused tiiem to infer
that He was a stranger in Jerusalem.
The condemnation and crucifixion of
the great, prophet of Nazareth were so
.recent and notorious that no one they
thought, who had lived in Jerusalem,
could be ignorant of them. One valu
able aspect of the unbelief of the dis
ciples was that It revealed the fact
that they were not credulous enthusi
asts but hard to convince. Out of this
?incredulity developed the unshaken
faith In the word of the resurrection.
III. The Scriptures Opened (vv. 25
85).
1. His Rebuke (v. 25). He did not
rebuke them for not believing the
strange stories they had heard, but for
ignorance and lack of confidence In
the Old Testament Scriptures. They
had accepted only such parts of the
Old Testament as suited their notions.
Men and women who do not believe
all that the Scriptures say, especially .
about the work o* the blessed Savior, ?
are entirely blameworthy. The very ,
center and heaH of the Old Testament I
Scriptures is the dqpth and resurrec- i
tion of Christ It is ignorance of the
Scriptures and unbelief of the wonder
ful and complete redemption wrought |
by Christ that robs us of many joys,
and power and efficiency as workers
for Christ. Christ will be the teacher
of al! who will open their hearts unto |
Him.
2. Jesus Recognized (v. 31). While
sitting at meat with the disciples their
eyes were opened as they saw IIlui
bless the bread and distribute it to
them. We, too, can see the Lord on
such common occasions as eating a
meal if we have open eyes. Indeed
we ought to see Him when eating, sell
ing, buying and ^In our recreations for
He has promised us His presence.
IV. The Effect Upon the Disciples ;
(vv. 32-35). They were so filled with
Joy over this revelation of the Savior
that they hastened back to Jerusalem
to tell the other disciples of the word
of His resurrection. Those who have
had the Scriptures opened to them
touching the death and resurrection of ,
Christ cannot help but hasten to make .
It known to others. ,
