Fellowship Day Focuses on Responsible Christian Family
Mrs. Carter Brookhart led Chanute Council of Church Women at World Fellowship Day in the Christian church. The talk urged that the world’s hope lies in each family becoming a responsible Christian unit with defined standards and values starting with acknowledging God and Christ. Parents must set the example, and daily religious experience occurs at home from meal times to daily routines. Dewey’s quote about answering a child’s questions before school was cited as foundational.
