CHURCH CAMPS
Sir, —as the Easter season approaches each year we parents are badgered and bullied into sending our young folk to various religious camps. Now these camps are quite a good recreational proposition, but too much importance is attached to them by church leaders. No child should need those few days of hysterically emotional, “pressure cooker” experience to give them a glimpse of what life should mean to them. Christianity, real, solid, unassailable Christianity, is dependent on the home atmosphere, and it is in the home that the child learns kindness and deep consideration of others, which is Christianity at its truest and best.—Yours, etc., LESS HYSTERIA. April 17, 1951.
