aid to dependent children law dur
ing the next two years.
Increase of 222
For the fiscal year ending June
30, 1940," Mrs. Worth continued,
"the commission had net increase
of 222 children. During the first
six months of the present fiscal
year, there has been a net increase
of 1SS children over last years fig
ures."
"Delawares law covering aid to
dependent children in their own
homes was revised in 1889 to in
clude dependent children otherwise
eligible for assistance who might be
living in the homes of needy rela-
tives as well as immediate parents;
also in the case of fathers who
might be removed from the home
because of illness, desertion, or inn
prisonment," she explained.
Assistance given the commission
at the present time averages $12.12
per month for each child cared for:
OF this amount, 5000 is paid by
state and county respectively. The
balance is paid by federal incre-
ment.
Turnover To Be Studied
at is believed that within the
next two years, point will be
reached whereby it will be possible
to determine the number Of chill
dren in Delaware needing this type
of assistance and to estimate turn
over in caseload, but this is not pos
sible at the present time," she ex-
planned.
1T is therefore of the utmost i'm
portance," Mrs. Worth concluded,
that the Mothers Pension Com
appropriation remain the
same as the last two years if needy
in Delaware are to continue
10 be cared for in their own homes" |

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
II

Christian Science Church service
report for Sunday, January 26: Sub
ject. Truth. 4
Golden Text: Psalms 119:151, 152.
Thou art near, o Lord; and all thy
commandments are truth. Concerto
ing thy testimonies, have known
of old that thou hast founded them
forever.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon: Matthew 4:23. And Jesus
went about all Galilee, teaching In
their synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and healing
all manner of sickness and all man
ner of disease among the people.
Correlative from the textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed
dy: Jesus instructed his disciples
whereby to heal the sick through
Mind instead of matter. He knew
that the philosophy, science, and
proof of Christianity were in Truth,
casting out all inharmony (. I. In
Latin the word rendered disciple
signifies student; and the word in
dicates that the power of healing was
not a supernatural gift to these
learners, but the result of their cul-
tivated spiritual understanding OF
the divine Science, which their Mas
ter demonstrated by healing the sick
and the shining.
