LESSON 11.  CAMP FIRES

Build a camp fire along the shore.  Read alternately the twenty-first chapter of the gospel of St. John.  The fire on the beach.  John 21:9.

PRACTICAL THOUGHTS

Jesus was there—­Jesus is here. 
Peter confessed Him there.  John 21:15-17. 
Who will confess Him here? 
Peter denied Him by another fire.  Luke 22:54-62. 
Will you deny Him here? 
P. S. Make this a decision meeting.

LESSON 12.  FISHING—­PERSONAL WORK

Luke 5:1-11.  Fishers of men.

PRACTICAL THOUGHTS

Sometimes fish are caught and used as bait to catch others.  When a boy becomes a Christian he should bring to others the same blessing.

Patience is essential in fishing—­same in winning boys to Christ.  Every fisherman expects to catch fish.  To lead others to Christ is the noblest work in the world.  Dan. 12:  3.

Tent Devotions

In some camps a bit of Scripture is read each night in the tent just before retiring.  The following readings having been prepared by W. H. Wones, C. C. Robinson, Arthur Wilson and Charles R. Scott for use at Camp Wawayanda.  Just before taps, if you have a good cornetist, have him go a short distance from the camp and play a well known hymn, like “Abide With Me,” “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” “Lead, Kindly Light,” then play “taps.”  The effect is wonderful, and prevents all inclination toward noise or “rough house.”
