ping 130 years old was uncovered
here recently, indicating that pol-

ly since 1807.
The clipping, taken from the
Dover, N. H.) Sun for 1807, con-
cerned an aspirant for political j
office and his incumbent oppon- j
ent. It follows:
“Influenced as I certainly am,
by the most benevolent feelings |
and impelled by the purest mo-1
tives for tire welfare of my coun- ■
try; it is still a great degree of'
reluctance that I hint anything i
in derogation of a character in .

According to the Adult Bible
Class Magazine at a community
center, operated by a certain or-
ganization, there is a member-
ship card which asks among oth-
er questions, “Do you come from
a Christian home?”
“Yes,” wrote the children who
came from homes in which one
or both parents were church
members. Frequently the chil-
dren whose parents were not
church members answered yes.
In looking through the cards one
day, the minister was struck by'
this large majority of children I
who professed to come from ■
Christian homes, and wondered j
what they meant by “Christian
home.” He wondered what the
head of the community house who
drew up the question had in
mind by “Christian home.” He
wondered what he himself meant
by that term. And then he
wondered whether or not his own
children came from a Christian
home. He began to ask ques-
tions.
After his survey the Parent’s
Forum decided to study the ques-
tion, “What Constitutes a Chris-
tian Home?” Immediately they

ii.g out“ and other sales must be, !

I islature voted to require a license I
fee of $75 every 90 days from I
each store “closing out.”
