and the prayer that followed being moved
to tears.
The sermon was specially to mothers,
and the text is In the last chapter of Prov
cribs. verse %, Her children rise ND and
call her blessed" This" Mr.. Mills said,
"is what the King says of virtuous
woman. In her is the law of kindness
These are the most beautiful words that
can be said about a woman.
1T is true that the hand that rocks the
cradle moves the world. No other power
has In 1t such far-reaching results as the in
huence God has given to a mother.
There are four things, and | am sure II
they are fulfilled in your life your child
may rise up and call you blessed.
First. you should have high ambition
for your children, and recognize Gods pro-
priet0rship in them.
Second, your children have a right to ex-
pect holy example.
Third, your children have a right to ex-
pect gentle. wise, cheerful, patient and per-
severing Christian training.
Fourth. you should have such measure
OF personal conservation to God, of personal
devotion TO Christ that shall make your
children come into the church of God"
In commenting on these heads he said !:
'Out OF gathering of l20 ministers 100
were consecrated to the ministry of Christ
by godly mothers. If mother is more SEN
sittve to the claims of God than to herself
the child will learn obedience to God more
than to any touch of human relationship
believe in the old Spanish proverb: One
ounce OF mother is worth pound of
clergy"
lie spoke of the early training of children
10 Christian life and said: "a mother had
better take her hand and throttle her child
in the cradle than not consecrate it to the
service of God.
Mothers, will you not let this be the
supreme ambition OF your life to get your
arms under your children and lift them
higher and higher till they get into the
hiusuOiil Vi doug All mOtneIS THAT are con-
secrated TO God or who desire to be conse-
Grated to God please stand up"
Almost the entire congregation stood up.

Time"
Mr.. Mills preached a powerful sermon
from Luke xiv:20, 81 cannot come" He
referred TO various excuses made by peopls
for not becoming Christians; such as be-
cause there were so many hypocrites i'm the
church; because they couldn't get along In
business and be CHRISTIAN; because they
don't understand about these things; be-
cause they are peculiar; because they are
waiting till they get worse; because they
can't hold out If they commence, and so on

A man beside her jumped up and said.
amid much laughter: That's my wife;
Pm with her every time"
The meeting closed with the benediction.
