Marshalltown, and many from the
surrounding country, who have come
under the influence of the Sunday re-
vival. honored their mothers today. For
the first time In the history of the city
many Of the populace paused long
enough simultaneously and put aside
business and pleasure to do honor to
the one whom they call mother. No
such a demonstration Of its kind has
ever punctuated the life of MARSHALL
town.
By closing a very large majority Of
the stores, by dismissing the public
schools for the afternoon, by giving
employees half, or part Of half holi-
day, by wearing white flower or a
bit Of white ribbon in the lapel of the
coat, this city did honor to her who
brought each one into the world.
Observance Centers at MEETING.
The mothers living and the spirit of
the mothers dead may thank Rev. w.
A. Sunday for this observance to their
memory. It started from the evangel-
tstic tabernacle, and 1T was in that big
structure this Afternoon that it CEN
aered and reached its climax in the
sermon on womanhood, which Rev.
Mr.. Sunday preached.
An audience, which broke all pre-
vious records for weekday afternoon
services, heard the noted evangelist.
and at the same time gave added pub
lie expression to the reverence thew
held for their mother.
It was estimated that a congrega-
ton of $500 greeted the g yangelist
when he began to speak.
A Flower 6edecked Multitude.
It was flower bedecked multitude
into whose upturned faces Mr.. Sun
day looked when he mounted the plat
form. Practically every bosom in the
audience was adorned with bit of
white, the silent witness to the love of
mother. The purpose for which they
We're gathered together and the SER
mon on the love of motherhood to
which they listened made the congre-
cation and the meeting one Of the
most inspiring of the campaign. In
honor OF the occasion the platform was
decorated with flowers.
Schools and Stores Close.
ine SCHOOLS closed for the afternoon
and Approximately nine-tenths of the
retail stores, including all of the banks,
shut their doors from 2 70 4 o'clock.
Hundreds OF the school children were
there, and a large majority of the
store owners and employees stepped
from their places Of business to the
tabernacle. Hundreds OF others came
from the shops and factories. most of
which. while they did not close, gave
1nelr employees permission to be off for
all or part Of the afternoon.
Hundreds From Out Of Town.
8 In the audience were hundreds. and
perhaps the total amounted to above
2 ithouaand, from out Of town. All OF
the morning trains into the city were
crowded. and, in some cases extra
coaches were added to trains to handle
the crowds. Hundreds from the conn
