Sweeping the Floor Item Info

"When sweeping the floor, I pray Thee, Lord, sweep from my heart all evil and make it clean." For several decades in the 20th century, the Christian Home Committee of the National Christian Council of India was devoted to strengthening the Christian ideas of family life among believers of the subcontinent. Beginning in the early 1940s and influenced by a similar program in China, the committee sponsored an annual, week-long Christian Home Festival. Among other activities, the committee distributed simple and colorful handbills and posters that could be hung around the home and church for daily worship and Bible study. None of the handbills are dated but were likely printed between the 1940s to the 1960s.
