The Mother and the Church.
From Mothers, MagazIn.


The actual relation between the mother
and church is close and binding. Perhaps
all mothers do not always realize the truth
of this, but that does not affect the fact.
The church cannot do without the mothers.
Usually it is by their cooperation that
scholars for the Sunday school are secured
and are found in their places And it Is
from the homes that future church mem
bers and ''pillars'' are to come. If mothers
fully appreciated their inestima BILE value to
the church as up-builders they might all
take more pains to do what in them lies TO
upbuild..
Many young mothers are inevitably de-
tanned from regular services. An occa-
sional opportunity may be all that comes
to them. Nevertheless, the impression which
they give to the children concerning the
church as Gods house and the service as
the means of meeting Jesus will have a
lasting effect upon child character.
The church itself may not recognize Its
dependence upon the mothers by outward
tokens but the mother may know that In
spite of this, her power and her place can
not be controverted and no substitute can
ever do exactly what she can do for the
children In setting UP standard of church.
going 1t Is not only the relation of demand
and supply that exists, but the character of
the supply is involved. Reinforcements may
come from the homes; but. If they come
ton, they will bring comparatively little
strength.
The church's relation to the mother ought
to be magnifled Parents day in the Sum
day school or church should now and then
emphasize the relation.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-21

sions come from the Sunday school. OF
late years the Bible classes for men, q new
movement with a total membership of
about 10000. have led to hundreds of
conversions. So has Sunday school insti-
tutional work, embracing social gather
ings and employment bureaus among
other features.
In many sections of the country the SUM-
day school appears first, the church FOL
lowing or springing from it. From Sunday
school missions planted by the Presbyterian
Church that denomination has formed IN
the last seventeen years S92 churches ana
other denominations 495-a grand total OF
1887 churches, a yearly average OF over
eighty-one churches. About 125 churches of
various denominations grow annually out
of American Union Sunday schools.
Though mission scholar may never be-
come either a member of established
church or one resulting from his Sunday
school he Is nevertheless. made acquainted
with the foundation principles of the Chris
tan religion through the systematic Bible
study that is afforded by the international
lessons an American idea growing from the
uniform lessons inaugurated by the Ameri-
can Union as early as 1926 Taking this
and other things into consideration 1t Is
not too much to believe that were Thomas
phasis to these words of his, spoken in the
infant days of the American Sunday school
missionary movement:
1.-The Sunday schools Of America present
the only legitimate means under the Con-
stitution of avoiding the rock on which
the French republic was wrecked"
No army could fight for a nobler purpose
the glory of God and the preservation OF
the country.

Old Age Pensions.
From Chambers Journal,

From Chambers Journal
In Germany there obtains a general sys-
tenn of compulsory insurance against old
age and invalidity An old age pension 10
payable on the recipient attaining seventy
years OF age. 1t is composed of two
parts: contribution from the state OF
two pounds ten shillngs per annum; the
balance Is made up of contributions from
the employers and employed in equal
shares The amount of the pension de-
Ponds on the wage class of which there
are five. which also determines the amount
of the weekly contribution. The minimum
invalidty pension for first wage class IL
three pounds, plus government contribu-
ton of two pounds ten shillings-total five
pounds ten shillings per annum ranging
up to minimum of seven pounds ten
shillings for class 8. These amounts are
increased according to the number OF
weeks contribution to the fund The old
age pension amounts to five pounds ten
Shfllings per annum, including government
contribution OF two pounds ten shillings for
class /, ranging UP to eleven pounds ten
shillings per annum for class 8. The rate
of weekly contribution is twelve pfennigs
(three halfpence) for class j, increasing In
proportion to thirty-six pfennigs -four
pence halfpenny) for class 8.
Not only do Belgium and Italy also give a
lead 10 Great Britain; our own colonies are
far In advance of the mother country. In
New Zealand persons reaching the age OF
sixty-five whose income does not exceed
one pound per week receive pension of
eighteen pounds per annum, roughly seven
shilliDgs per week. The act OF parlia-
ment which gives this power has a clause
which Is worth repetition: Whereas, IL Is
equitable that deserving colonists, who
during the prime of life have helped TO bear
the public burdens of the colony by the
payment Of taxes. and to open up its re-
sources by their labor and skill. should look
to the colony for a pension in their old
age" This strikes one sound doctrine,
the justice of which is applicable to the
old country as to the new.
A not uninteresting sign of the times
comes from France. A leading plank In
n. Bouvier's platform Is old age pensions.
The government of France at the present
subsidies the pension funds of trade and
friendly societies. but no general scheme
of old age pensions has yet been adopted.

ability as a leader of singing.
Several persons have written to President
Metcalf of the District union or called at
the Office of the union in the Bond build

prospect of Mr. Alexanders coming to this

grounds OF a farmer adjacent to Williams

A thunder storm occurred and they took
refuge under a haystack and continued the
meeting. Seemingly the students alone.
for the time being, knew of the meeting
For years the place was unmarked and
tho event uncommemorated. But those
students originated the foreign missionary
movement in this country for the benefit
OF all lands and peoples. Subsequently VIII
