"They certainly did-a glorious Summer and filled with good work,"
replied Mrs. Remington.
"When I think of Paul over-coming his whining ways, your little Teddy more considerate of his little friends, Tammy losing his dependence on others, Betty not half so shy, Billy and Edith eager to help others instead of enjoying themselves, I say, G.o.d bless the Brownies," sighed Mrs. Hubert, gratefully.
"But you"ve said not a word about the Big Lodge! How about Eleanor Wilbur? Did you ever see such wonderful improvement in anyone? And our boys, too. Mrs. Baker certainly deserves unlimited thanks for the way they show camp training. Then there are those new members, and our five old ones-perhaps you and I show the general uplift the others do, too!"
said Mrs. Remington, smilingly.
"I may not show it but I feel it," responded Mrs. Hubert.
"Who can help being "born again" with the simple life in grand old forests near a lake of pure water? Nature is the Wonder Worker in selfish, morbid, erroneous characters, and the marvel grows as each one rises higher and reaches out for G.o.d unconsciously until he arrives at a resting-place. Then the mist disappears and he catches a glimpse of the glories of the wide horizon"s promised Heaven."
At the last words, the key clicked in the front door and the two ladies turned to join the rest of the party who were following Tim toward the large touring-car waiting at the end of the woodland path.
