Ársrit Bandalags lúterskra kvenna 49 that rules are made for a purpose and should not be broken. She must teach the importance of co-operation and harmony in a group by practicing these herself. The most important thing for a leader is to realize her position at camp. She is there to guide and watch over the children during their stay. This idea must be ever present and at all times the children must come first. The most impressive part of all my visits to Sunrise Camp was the ever-present feeling of the nearness of God. One cannot help but realize His presence at all times. The beauties of nature sur- round us to such an extent that we cannot help but be mindful of its Creator. We cannot help but be thankful for the crisp, fresh air, the warm sunshine, green grass, tall trees and lovely lake breeze, because these form such a large part of our camp life. We are also reminded by our worship at the Outdoor Altar. Have you ever attended a Sunrise Service at Sunrise Camp? Believe me, it is something that you will never forget. I know you will be welcomed by any group during this next camping season. Our daily devotional and lesson periods help us to know more about God and His works. The loveliest of all is the singing of taps each evening under the stars with a soft gentle lake breeze blowing. The campers join hands, sing this simple but meaningful song and close their day with the Lord’s Prayer. Words cannot describe the wonderful feeling which is a result of these few moments of devotion. Once again I would like to thank you for the wonderful oppor- tunity of speaking to you tonight. This is particularly appreciated as I will no longer be able to participate in the summer activities, unless I am able at some future date to return for a period as camp nurse. Believe me, I would like nothing better. sje sje There is one thing I would like to do in closing. I believe that I am the first camper who has ever had the opportunity of address- ing your convention on camp life. In the years that I have enjoyed the privileges of Sunrise Camp, there has always been in attendance a lady who made camp life complete, always ready with words of encouragement, never hesitant in making important decisions, al- ways setting the perfect camper’s example, a true and wonderful inspiration at all times. Mrs. Olafson, may I ask you to come for- ward please.
