"A Mothers Love- was the subject Of
Rev G. L. MorrilIs sermon at the Chi

Mr. Morrill, has just returned from his
mothers funeral at Chicago, and he paid
an eloquent tribute to her memory. From
the simple home he declared, the mother
directs worldwide movements. Her eye
enkindles patriotism; her heart inspires
philanthropy; her voice tunes to music;
her lips lead to eloquence; her hands point
to noble achievement, and her example
and prayer lift to noble life.

stunned, shines from the God-swePt cir

as if the guardian wings OF the angels
had vanished and we were left to wan
der upon q roofiess world.
