But because she did so, she faces the loss of her six children. These children, the oldest of whom is By. 18, coolly informed her that hair goes against Scripture. Hence they do not want ta live with her. They want to stay in an or- phanage. Mrs. Benedict recently was deaect- ed by her husband. So she put the children temporarily in a Mennonite home, with a police matron as guar- dian, while she went to work to earn some money and establish a home for her brood.

They recited from memory the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Com- mandments, the Twenty-third Psalm and other parts of the Bible. Puzzled, the judge reserved deci- sion. The children are remaining at} the Mennonite home until he rules on the case. At this home they are being thor- oughly drilled in many Biblical texts. ‘But apparently the authorities have for, otten to teach them the one that “ee mother.” QUESTION OF | PARK BOARD IS Honor thy father and thy of Letter Sent to All Lo- cal Organizations A copy of a letter recently sent to all ‘clubs and civic organizations in the city by H.
