Ideal Gift Books for Every Lutheran will no doubt admit that Lutheran young people should be familiar with the early history of their church and the lives of the great Lutherans of Europe and America. We also believe those who have read the books I will agree with us, when we say NO BETTER BOOKS CAN BE FOUND to acquire this knowledge than the "Lutheran Handbook Series." While we speak of them as particularly val. uable for young folks, they are in no sense "Juvenile" books, but will be equally appreciated by all. The titles are: Gustavus Adolphus. By Harriet E.

THE BADGE OF ROYALTY Men are proud to wear badges that identify them with kings. To have a "decoration" bestowed by a monarch is to hold a great prize. But kings get their power through inheritance-how much more honorable is it to win power by strength of character. Martin Luther was born a peasant, but he has exerted greater power than any king the world has ever seen. Wear his badge and read the secret of his power in the description he wrote of that emblem.

OYS' camps are becoming more and more numerous. You can find all sorts, good and bad. At some the boys are neglected and at others they are well taken care of. Considering them as a whole they are good places for boys from the ages of 10 to. 18. At this time a boy is developing and needs good exercise. The more fresh air he can posture. He learns the ways of other boys and can enter into contests with them. He practices for these contests and thus improves himself. He learns to play ball, swim, and handle rowboats and canoes, and, if he chooses, he learns to dive. If he is observant, he can learn all these things by watching other boys. |
