Such gifts are tho e that the donor end to a mi ssionary board for a mi ionary and not to the board for it to u se in meeting the needs of the mission ary. The one who makes the gift usually asks that t:his particular gift go over and above the standard allowances t by the board for missionaries, without any control bv the home office of the mission. The missionary board " i thus asked to be a forwarding agent. The ssociation of Baptists for World Evangelism, Inc., as an example, processes this type of gift through it treasury department as 'Tran smission Gifts." Official receipts designated ' transmission' are not u sable in con– nection , vi th income tax re turns. High court to view school prayers The upreme Court of the United States has agreed to decide upon the question , "Are daily prayers in public schools constitutional?" Five parents who ob– ject to the daily recitation of a non -sectaria11 prayer in the public schools of 1 ew H yde Park, .Y. presented the case. The case centers in a prayer approved by the New York Board of Regents in 1959 for u se in the public ~hools of the state. Its words are: "Almighty God, we ackno,vledge our dependence upon Thee, and \~.re beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents. our teachers, and our country. " Former editor looks af ter church Re,,.

Tips for teen-agers The "world owes me something" attitude of some tce11ager h as brought a sharp rebuke from a couple of rece11t graduates of their ranks. The editors of the battalion n ewspaper of the 13th Infantry of the U.S. 1arine Corps Resen ,e in Jackson, 1iss., have pulled no 1,unches in this advice : "Alway we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager: Wha t can we do? Where can we go? "I can make a sugges tion. Go h ome . Wash windows. Paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. M ow the lawn. 1 vveep the walk. Wash the car. Learn to cook. Scrub the Boor. Build a boat. Ge t a job. H elp the minister. Visi t the sick. Assist the poor. Study the Bible. ''Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your town does not owe you recrea tional facilities. The world does not owe you a living. ''You owe the world your time and talents, and they should be devoted to trying to see to it that n o one will ever be at war again, or in poverty, or sick, or lonely. "In plain simple words: Grow up ... Develop your backbone instead of yot1r wishbone ... " \ Ale know some grown -ups, too, who should heed thi s tough M arine talk. - The Buffalo Evening News ASK THE CHILDREN ... Mother was trying to get eight-year old Mary to learn her Sunday School lesson. At length she took the Bible out of the chest of drawers and said, "Come, Mary, I will help you learn your les on and then you may go back to your play.' ' "All right, Mother, but let's study it out of Grand– father Bible. It's much more interesting than yours." '~Oh, no, Mary! They ,are exactly alike.'' But the little girl replied, "Well, I think Grandfather's must be more interesting than your ; he reads it much more. ' ' The OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST
