A Call To The. Great Out-Dooj-s.
?
On Tuesday afternoon Circle num
ber two of the Woman's Auxiliary,
Camden Baptist church, heard the
rail to the great out>doors and' held
a social meeting on the Gun Club
grounds, back of the Kirkwood Hotel.
. It was indeed an ideal place for a
gathering on this hot Summer after
noon. White clouds floated . slowly
over bead, changing to rosy tints as
the great Monarch of Day sunk in
the western sky. His intense rays had
not scorched or even faded the carpet
of emerald green that was luxuriantly
spread at our feet, while the tall
waving pines, giant oaks and grace
ful maples formed a forest wall on
four sidos that was cool and inviting.
There had been no set program, the
meeting was entirely informal and
social. A bounteous * lunch was
spread and enjoyed by the members
<>f Circle number two of which Mrs.
C. C. Vaughn is chairman. The ever
ready victrola added much to the
feature of the occasion and the com
oany sang "America" and "Blest be
the Tie that Binds." Mrs. Robert T.
Coodale, the popular president of the
auxiliary offered a beautiful prayer
in nature's temple to nature's God.

Barriers.
Oh, Desert, Mountains, Sea!
Barriers 'twixt homo and me.
My Beloved lies dead beyond the sea,
Ye are but barriers unto me.
My heart grows faint, my soul rebels,
No God of Love my anguish quells;
Oh, Desert, Mountain, Sea,
Ye are but barriers unto me!
"Lift up thine eyes unto the Hills,"
A voice from Heaven my spirit fills,
"Know ye not from whence
Cometh thy help, thy defense?"
Oh, Desert, gray and bleak and drear,
In thee I hear Great Allah's prayer,
And in thy voice,' oh lonely sea,
Sweet words of comfort, "I'll hear
thee . ?
Unto the haven, where thou wouldst
'.be!"
Unto Oh, Hills, I'll lift mine eyes,
Thy help, Oh God, my evening sacri
fice. ?
"Barriers!" No, great works of God,
ye are to me.
