Several hours before the morning ser

success Of the meeting about to close
made an earest appeal to the cOngrega

MOTHER, WIFE AND DAUGII ER.
lie said that the word mother was
our first and sweetest word. Gods best
gift to good boy is good mother
There is not a mar in all the world SC
base who did not at some time talk OF
his mothers goodness. Some of our
adages were self-evident truths, one OF
90 ho hot 4 ho lc
rules the world" If you give me the
place of mother | don't care who OcCu-
pi,s the place of president, judge, gov
ernOr, senator or representative.
Mother! the sweetest word that be-
longs to earth. We stop long enough to
say that Nero's mother was a bloody
murderer; and she gave to this world the
most cruel man the world ever saw. He
Rome. Lord Byrons mother was a
proud, intellectual woman, and she gave
to this world one of the most protiigate
intellectual autocrats the world ever saw.
John Wesleys mother was a sensible,
religious, painstaking, good woman; and
she gave to this world one of the grand
est characters we ever had.
George Washington's mother was a
simple hearted, strong minded, pious
good woman; and she gave to this coun-
try a man whom we honor with the title
of father of his country"
All great men may look up and say all
my greatness is of my mother. Success
in manhood may always be traced to the
training boy gets at the hands of his
mother, therefore of all beings in this
world, the mother ought to be the best.
There is nothing in the economy of
grace that can make up to your child
that which it loses in the fact that it does
not have a good mother. Twice happy
that family and that child whose mother
loves God with all her heart, and loves
her neighbor as herself.
