boy In a Universalis! Church

what denomination could their
children be?????
Picked up this little poem
from the Tuscarora Boy Scout
paper. I think it Is splendid.
THE CHILDREN'S CREED
If a child lives with criticism.
He learns to condemn
If a chad lives with hostility,
He learns to fight.
If a chad lives with ridicule,
He learns to be shy.
If a chad lives with Jealousy,
He learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
He learns to be patient.
If a chUd lives with encour
agement,
He learns confidence.
If a chUd lives with praise,
He learns to appreciate.
If a chUd lives with fairness.
He learns justice.
If a chUd lives with security,
He learns to have faith.
If a chad lives with approval,
He learns to like himself.
If a chad lives with acceptance
and friendship
He learns to find love In the
world.

noon. It was lovely. On exhibit
were ceramics of all shapes,
sizes anddeslwis. TheoUpaint

ses and suits which they had
made. One lady who had a beau
tiful dress said that she had
never sewed anything before In
her life. You would not have
believed your eyes when you
looked at the beautifully knitted
sweaters. IT1 bet there were
at least 25 sweaters which were
on display.
Also the flower arranging
exhibit was lovely. Both live
flowers and artificial flowers
were used and they showed
much artistic art.
