NOME GOSPEL HOME
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. — This
income tax return from an un
identified 9-year-old Clovis 'boy
set Albuquerque Internal Rev
enue officers to chuckling:
“Allowance, 50 cents per week,
50x52 equals $26; pulling nails, 25
cents; letting Joe hit me, 5 cents;
not hitting him back, 3 cents;
cleaning up after dog, 25 cents;
painting doors, 50 cents; total
$27.08. Spent all but twelve cents
am sending you, and this makes
me even.”
E. W. Bacon, IRS district di
rector, said the 12 cents that came
in taped to a piece of paper will
be returned to the boy when he
is located.
This letter reveals that the
young boy from Clovis had been
brought up in a home in which
“Love One Another” was prac
ticed. Truly the happiest families
are Christian families, for the
children are brought up in the
fear of the Lord and that they
might personally know the One
who is “The Way, the Truth and
the Life” (John 14:6). “Train up
a child in the way (in the Saviour)
he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.” (Pro
verbs 2:26).

OFFICIAL VISITING AREA
Mary Hurley of the Alaska De
partment of Health, who heads
the section of chronic illness and
aging and who has been in charge
of the White House Conference
Committee on Aging, is spending
a couple of days here while visit
ing each of the 20 committees
