citation Of st. PauTs church. More
than a hundred women were present,
and the subject was Of especial in
terest Just now as the church is
contemplating moving st. Paul's

the principle that the life of the home
should be duplicated rs nearly as pos
sibIe DR. Hart told a number Of
"A - y41 4F5N-

of the many problems is to care for
the children in the home, wherever
conditions make this possible.
