ernor Wesley requesting that the sec
ond Sunday in May be recognized as
Mothers Day was very generally
recognized In the churches of Mitch

At the Congregational church the

down at the altar was arranged some
attractive floral decorations. The
choir rendered some special music in
honor OF the occasion. Pastor Bow

Christian Motherhood, and his text
was taken from Luke 1:46-47. He
referred back to the period of the
first Christian Mother, which placed
q high standard in the spirit and de-
sire, which every Christian Mother
has had since then, and which is only
to lie found In the Christian Mother.
Mr.. Bowdish said that We all rejoiced
in having the best mother that ever
lived, and that we v e cherished the
strong points of her life, in that they

DR.. T. j. Macmurray at the Presby-
terrain church was greeted by a good
congregation when he presented some
very excellent thoughts. in c%onjunct-

the mothers of previous years for
what they had contributed In the
many excellent men and women
whose works have graced the pages
OF history. and he urged the mothers
of today to follow out the same high
and noble purpose. In the evening
DR.. Macmurray gave a fine discourse
