Camp Cavalcade
CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade
^ of American history—such are
the men behind the names of the
great army cantonments scattered
all ovaflt the United States, where
young Americans are learning to be
soldiers in order to defend their
country when the need arises.
Camp Toombs, near Toccoa, Ga.,
is named for one of the most re-
mar*kab 1 e men
ever produced by
that state—Rob
ert Toombs (1810-
1885), soldier and
statesman. His
first military ex
perience was as
a captain of vol
unteers against
the Alabama In
dians in the 30s,
followed by a po
litical career that
took him to the
United States
senate from which he was expelled
in 1861 because of his advocacy of
secession. He could have been pres
ident of the new Confederate States
of America, but he declined that
honor, just as he had declined the
offer of cabinet offices under Presi
dent Taylor and Fillmore. He did
consent to serve briefly as secre
tary of state under President Jeffer
son Davis, then was commissioned
a brigadier-general in the Confed
erate army in w^iich _ he served
throughout the war. At the close
of the conflict he fled to Cuba, lived
for a time in England, France and
Canada before returning to the Unit
ed States. His last years were spent
near his birthplace, Washington, Ga.
Not long after David Sloan Stan
ley (1828-1902), a native of Ohio, was
graduated from
West Point, he
was sent to the
Western Plains
as a lieutenant
of dragoons and
started on the ca
reer which made
him one of the
best - known In
dian fighters . of
his day. But be
fore that, there
were four years
of service in the
Union army dur
ing which he rose from captain to
major-general, and rendered con
spicuous service at the battles of
New Madrid, Island No. 10, Corinth,
luka, Jonesboro, Nashville, Spring
Hill, Stone River, Resaca, Ruffs Sta
tion and Franklin, where he was des
perately wounded but refused to
leave the field until the battle was
won. After the war, he served
against the Indians in the Dakotas,
led the famous Yellowstone expedi
tion of 1873, fought the redskins in
Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and
brought peace to the Texas frontier
by suppressing Indian raids in the
Lone Star state. That’s why he is
remembered gratefully in Texas and
why the camp near Leon Springs
bears his name.
The name of another great caval
ry leader is preserved in the narpe
of Camp Wheel
er, near Frank-
linton, Ga. It hon
ors the memory
of Joseph T.
(“Fighting Joe”)
Wheeler (1836-
1906) the “Geor
gia gamecock”
who was assigned
to the dragoons
immediately aft
er his graduation
from West Point
in 1859. When he
entered the Con
federate army he
was first made
colonel of an infantry regiment and
commanded a brigade at the Bat
tle of Shiloh. But the next year he
was transferred to the cavalry and
from that time on he was one of
the South’s most daring and success
ful raiders. After the death of “Jeb”
Stuart in 1864, he was the senior
cavalry general of the Confederate
armies and rose to the rank of lieu
tenant-general. After the war, he
studied law and was repeatedly re
elected to congress. At the out
break of the Spanish-American war,
‘‘Fighting Joe” was again in the
saddle as a general of cavalry sent
to Cuba to fight the Spaniards.
Camp Haan near Riverside, Calif.,
is also named for a veteran of the
Cuban and Philippine campaigns—
Brig. Gen. William George Haan, a
native of Indiana and a West Point
graduate in the class of 1889, who
was three times recommended for
brevets for “conspicuous conduct in
action” from 1898 to 1901.

Taps
“Taps” was originally a signal for
retiring in military camps and was
played on the drums. Later it was
sounded on the bugle, the common
est tune, “The Last Post,” being in
troduced into this country by the
British army during the Revolution.
The melody of the present "Taps”
was composed by Daniel Butter-
worth, a brigadier-general in the
Union army. It was first sounded on
the bugle by Oliver W. Norton, brig
ade bugler, at Harrison’s Landing.
Va., in July, 1862.

W
LYNN SAYS:
An assortment of cookies,
freshly baked and packed in tins
with waxed paper between layers
makes a delightful present for
youngsters away at school and
for friends you seldom see. When
your own cookie jar has been
filled to bulging, pack a few boxes
from what you have and spread
cheer to others, too.
Careful packing in tins with
waxed paper will keep even small
dainty cookies fresh for a long
time. Some flavors like choco
late improve after they stand for
some time. Chewy, nutty cookies
are the more chewy and deli
cious after several days. Spicy
cookies become moist and well
flavored after standing.

'“IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
UNDAYI
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for October 19
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se-
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR HELPER
LESSON TEXT—John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8; Ro
mans 8:26-28; Galatians 5:22-26.
GOLDEN TEXT—As many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.—
Romans 8:14.
Nothing could be more practical
or blessed for and in the life and
service of the believer than an
understanding of the person and
work of the Holy Spirit; yet it is a
subject concerning which most
Christians are woefully ignorant.
Before taking up the work of the
Spirit as it appears in our lesson,
we should understand that the Holy
Spirit is a person, not an influence
which may exert itself upon a serv
ice, or a power which a man may
obtain and use. He—the Spirit—is
one of the Trinity, with the at
tributes of a person, doing the work
of a person and always referred to
as a person in Scripture. (When
“it” is used of the Holy Spirit in
the A.V. it will be found to be cor
rected to “him” in the R.V.)
What then does this divine person
do? The work of creation was His
as one of the Godhead. He regen
erates, He teaches. He comforts. He
leads. He calls and qualifies Chris
tian workers. He is the divine
author of the Bible. These and
many other things He does, this One
who indwells the believer as the
ever-present Guide and Counselor.
The Christian is
I. Born of the Spirit (John 3:5-8).
The new birth is indispensable to
entrance into the kingdom of God.
We either enter that way or we do
not enter at all. Let’s be clear
about that. “Ye must be born again”
is not the edict of a church or the
plea of a preacher; it is the plain
statement of our Lord Himself
(v. 5).
The Holy Spirit is indispensable to
regeneration. We must be bom of
the Spirit. How it takes place we
can no more explain than the coming
or going of the wind, but just as
the power of the wind is known to
us by clear evidence, so the regen
erating power of the Spirit, myste
rious though it be in operation, is
known to us by the evidences of re
deeming grace in a man’s life.
II. Empowered by the Spirit
(Acts 1:8).
Spiritual birth calls for service for
Christ. For that we must have the
power of the Holy Spirit. A man
may do many ordinary things in the
strength of his own body and
mind (although even these ought
always to be under the Spirit’s con
trol), but when he comes to wit
nessing for Christ, teaching or
preaching God’s Word, he must
have Holy Spirit power or he is ut
terly ineffective.
IH. Directed by the Spirit (Rom.
8:26-28).
The guidance of the Holy Spirit,
especially in the matter of prayer,
is stressed in these verses, but they
are a part of a longer passage deal
ing with the indwelling, enabling,
and guiding power of the Holy
Spirit (read w. 9-14). Every detail
of life in the home, at business, or
in social relations should be in con
scious submission to His leading.
It is in the realm of the spiritual,
however, that ' we find ourselves
peculiarly infirm (v. 26), and this
shows itself especially in prayer—
“we know not how to pray as we
ought.” Then the Spirit in the
Christian makes intercession. How
blessed! “The practical meaning of
these profound words seems to be
that the divine Spirit, by His im
mediate influence in the saint’s soul,
which becomes as it were the organ
of his own address to the Father,
secures the rightness of the essence
of the saint’s prayer. To our under
standings such intercessions with
groanings which cannot be uttered,
take the form of desires of ours,
inspired and secured by Him. In
any special case of prayer, the saint
may or may not use words; but any
wise the root-desires that underlie
the prayer, being the Holy Spirit’s
promptings, are unutterable to the
full. In the heart the Father sees
below the surface of our ignorance
the sacred longings which are the
expression of the Spirit’s influence”
(H. C. G. Moule).
IV. Walking in the Spirit (Gal. 5:
22-26).
Being born again of the Spirit,
living daily by the Spirit, it is right
that (as v. 25 puts it) “if we live
by the Spirit, let us also walk by
the Spirit.” The works of the flesh,
horrible in their wickedness and
lust, are listed in the verses preced
ing (w. 19-21), and then by striking
contrast we have the fruit of the
Spirit In the life of the Christian.
Note the distinction: Work is some
thing we produce; fruit is some
thing that grows.
Walking in the Spirit the Chris
tian finds in his life the inward
graces of love, joy, and peace.
These then express themselves out
wardly in longsuffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, meekness,
and self-control. The Spirit-filled
man is not only a good man; he
lives a good life.
