Great Love Hath the Boy Who Layeth Down His Vacation. The Camp Director came around the corner and a loud and prolonged shout went up from the throats of the two hundred boys waiting at the door of the mission. This was the day when they were to go to the Fresh Air Camp on the lake -- but only one hundred and fifty boys could go. One boy, Peter, had a small tin pail and a long fishing pole. Three months before his name had been put down for the camp by one of the social workers. His father had been ill; his mother had to go out scrubbing every day to earn money to feed the five little ones. Peter had done the work around the house. He had been so happy when he was told he was going to camp that he turned a handspring. What a time he would have! He had pestered his neighbors to lend him a fishing rod and he had found a tin pail for the raspberries he was going to bring back to his mother. Camp funds were limited and fifty of the boys could not be taken, but Peter was among those chosen to go. Amid cheers and yells the boys who were going to camp were marched to the station. Their train was wait- ing, and they took possession of the two coaches reserved for them. The train was about to leave when a St eetiicdentie small, weary, poorly dressed woman came up to the Director. A ten-year- old boy was at her side. 'They tell me you are taking the boys to camp," she said. "My son has been sick for several months. He needs a holiday in the country. I cannot afford it. Can you take him?" "T'm sorry," he replied, "we have no more money for tickets and _ the coaches are full. Perhaps, next year . -' He looked down at the boy. He saw a thin body and a pale, drawn face. "Wait," he said. He left the pair and went into one of the coaches. He blew his whistle and the boys stopped talking. "Fel- lows," he began, "there's a skinny little kid outside who's been ill and ought to go to camp; but we cannot take any more. Is there any boy here who will get off the train and let him take your place?" The only answer was a tense silence. The Director walked through into the other coach. He blow his whistle again and said the same thing. By this time the little fellow had climbed onto the car platform and stood looking in at the boys. After a moment's silence a voice that could hardly be heard said, "Mis- ter, he can take my place." A boy walked down the aisle and got off the train... In one hand he carried a fish- ing rod, and in the other a small tin pail for raspberries. REV. HARRY ATKINSON.
