More than $4,000 Methodist heads
OF families have enrolled for family
prayer and systematic Bible reading
In the home. and new members of the
family altar league are being receiv-
ed at the rate of forty to fifty day.
Southern Methodists claim that the
concerted effort Of that denomination
to deepen the prayer life of its people
is not a forward movement, but rath
er a return to the days when family
prayer occupied its rightfui place in
the home and marked the beginning
and close OF each days activities.
As means of returning to these
fundamentals" Southern Method
lists hae made the family altar league
a definite part OF the Christian ed
ucation movement. This phase OF the
educational program is conducted

are the ones that give trouble from

Just in front of the udder is locat-
