''To be such Il mother IN sacrihcal

carth's Joy. the zenith OF one's gracious
ministry. and To be worthy to rank with

Samuel and the mother OF our Lcrd.'
Phillips Congregational.
Discussing Motherhood. as K was, as
1t is. as II ought 10 be-" the Rev. p a.
Simpkin Of Philips Congregational
church said Sunday evening;
1T is undeninbIc that no human agency
has such power for good OF cVi! in It's
hands as has motherhood. Just as un-
deniable is IL that from the time OF the
GraCchi down 10 this day. when a multi
tude Joins The great Lincoln In an
acknowledgment that life's deepest debt
ran 10 his angel mother motherhood
has discharged we'll in 4 multitude of in
stances lis obligation,
Motherhood verify is the golden thread
on which the most richly chased beads of
the ages worth have been strung. Moth
crhood is widely lax in duty today. TO"
many reasons. not the least of which is
the neglect by fathers of their own share
TN the duty to the family. Mothe rhood
has 10 be in its nature sacrificlal to the
perfect end of It's duty. But all the pain
or her endurance and the depth of her
sacrifice IS answered abundantly In the
love and reverence OF those she trains for
the state and for God. Woman was
made for far lofticr ends than social
gnlety and Indulgence. She is made TO be
Gods ministcring pricstess TO find her
delight in the surrender which will make
possible her gaining under God to time
and eternity a gift OF life that shall be a
bcncdiction.
Free Motherhood was the subject Of
the sermon delivered Sunday nigh,
at Unity hall by the RGy. Milton
Royce Kerr of Greeley. Colo. who is hll-
Ing the pulpit OF the Rev, William Thurs
Ton a l1i,-i1 hE Of Ia
said in part:
Mother love is one of the primal emo
tious of the animal world: and next to
sex love doubtless Is the most potent fac
tor in the evolution VI the higher forms
of life. The child though the highest in
the animal scale, yet Is the most helpless
of all creatures. II is the greatly length
ened infancy. combined with the vastly
superior susceptibility oT the human child
which gives such power TO environment
as To make of men variants from the low
est devil to the greatest saints.
THAT race is The strongest and best
which has the strongest and best moth
ers. That country or race which dcgrades
mothe rhood must fall and perish. Moth
erhood ut it's bes, must he motherhood.
That means at least. three things-ilrSt.
womnn must be free To walk in all the
paths OF knowledge and culture open TO
man; second, social and Industrial coll
ditIons must he such that woman shalt
he free to choose and follow a worthy
life calling: third woman must be free
10 choose absolutely upon the one ground
OF love that man who Is 10 he the father
OF her children. II she has or may have
the motherhood 10 desire them.
1--WE believe the world Is evolving mo-
nogamy as the absolute sex relationship
and that conditions OF equality and fra
which are perfectly attainoble
now. VIII eventuate in this relationship
when attained.
motherhood should bc the fruit Of
between man and a woman
