it to the polls. There was no need
at this time OF such questionable me-

The parents explained that they wish
to keep the innocent boy untainted by
the lust for money, which no would
only squander on harmful sweet.meats.
However, in cases where Bobby had
rendered ain actual service he was per-
mitted to accept remuneration when
offered. as his parents reasoned that
the laborer is worthy OF his hire.
A nice old lady who was friend OF
the family noticed Bobby pnsslng one
day, and calling him in, asked him to
run down to a nearby store for her.
Bobby executed his commission and
returned promptly. The old lady was
pleased.
