When Andre eide died recently
the facts Of this tragic volume were
released to a world grown increas-
ingly curious about the great
French writer.
Part of the curiosity stemmed
from interest in a man who has
produced some of the finest diaries
in the French language as well as
excellent fiction. Part of it was in
spired by his openly avowed In
verted personality.
Gide's emotional abnormalities
were one side of him. Another side
was IN his genuine spiritual love
for his wife Madeleine. For thirty
years he wrote letters to her when
ever his restlessness drove him
from the home and gardens which
they shared In Cuverville in
France. The letters were the
story of his deep love for her.
Once after eide had gone off to
England with a young man. Made
leine burned the letters. When he
discovered it, eide wept for four
days and four nights without ceas-

tiers had blinded all the publish
ed diaries. They were to have bal
anced the story in his already
published work. He knew when
they were gone the picture of him.

A Letter
From Bill LaniaiI

Dear NeighboT:
We hear a lot of talk about farm
subsidies and money spent by the
Administration to curry support
from the farmers. There are quite
a few facts which / think will prove
interesting to everyone.
For example, it is interesting
to note that since 1910 the regular
annual appropriation bill for the
Department of Agriculture has
been reduced 80 percent. In 1910,
the Department of Agriculture
spent nearly IA percent of the Fee
deral Budget, exclusive of mill
tary expenditures; but the bill re-
Gently passed by the Congress will
afford Agriculture less than per-
cent of the budget.

Rector of st. Peters Church
Speaks to Club on Topic
"a Christian Home"
NEXT MEETING MARCH 2S

The Rev. Luman ]. Morgan, rec-
tor of st. Peters Church, in
talk Friday at the Twentieth Cen
tury Club on the topic: "A Chris
tian Home" emphasized that the
strength of the nation lies in the
home. 1.-THE Christian home in the
sphere in which the redemptive life
can be lived out in the most perfect
way" he said, defining that life as
the "forgiving" life, with accept
ance of the individual who is loved
and cherished for what he or she is.
There are disciplines that just be
accepted, he affirmed, saying that
guidance within a framework" de-
fines desciplines. He paid tribute
to the fine tradition inherited by
Christians from the Jewish back
ground laying stress on the filial
ipiety shown by Jews. Having
stated that We can no longer use
the term 'Christendom" in refer
ence to the world, there being so
few nations officially Christian, he
concluded by saying that if we
would restore Christendom we
will have to put emphasis on the
Christian home and family, so that
we will not be engulfed in wave
of secularism. The program chair
man was Mrs. Fred Heinold, Sr.
