and trained through the years of help
lessness and development, to follow
his Instinct for healtbful play, to re
ceive an education sufficient to make
him a self-supporting, useful member
of society, to have such moral and spi
ritual training as will develop the
highest type of character of which he
is capable.
And inasmuch as every mother has
the rleht to accent the duties, reanon-
-
eibilities and sufferings of mother
hood of her own free will, to be sur
rounded by such conditions as will
help her to bring her child into the.
world with the greatest possible safe-,
ty to her own life and healthy and to
those of her child and to loving care ,
during her days of weakness and re
cuperation; And inasmuch as no non-Christian
nation has either adequate teaching
concerning mother and child or right
standards regarding their welfare;
And inasmucr as Christ is the only re
ligious teacher to give the child and
the mother their rightful place as
central in human society; therefore,
be it resolved : ,
1st That the deepest need of every
child is a Christian hom.
2nd That it is the duty of all Chris

emancipator of mother and child, to
the remotest " ounds of the wide world

OUR FEDERAL BUILDING
The following letter is self-explanatory
and answers a question often
asked by our people:
Washington, D. C, Nov. 28, 1914.
Hon. John B. Dow, Cookeville, Tenn.
Dear Sir: I have been urging the
treasury department to hasten the
contract for the construction of the
public building there. They assured
me that the contract will be let early
in December. The delay has been on
account of acting on some supplemen
tal bids.regarding bttterments.
Truly yours,
CORDELL HULL.
