OBSERVANCE OF MOTHERS DAY
Special Sermon Preached by Rev. Dr. M. S. Kaufman at
Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church Mother and
the Debt we Owe Her.

Mother and the Debt We Owe Her
was the topic of Rev. DR.. NJ S. Kauf-
man Sunday morning at the Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church. the morn
ing service being in observance Of
Mothers day.
His text was Prov. 31-2S, Tier chill
dTen shalI arise I'D and call her bless
ed and he said:
Mothers day, rightly observed, is
such a sane, Wholesome and appropri-
ate custom that it will doubtless be-
come permanent throughout Christ
endoTn- The wonder is that it had not
been adoptedd long before it was. Let
it be remembered that it is in Christian
lands where mothers are most admir-
ed and honored and loved. Since
Christ, Gods own Son, in order to get
near human hearts consented to have
a human mother, the di gnity and worth
OF motherhood have been lifted into a
new and 1oftier prominence. While
some church people may exalt Mary,
the Mother of Jesus, too highly, it is
quite as true that Professionals as rule
go to the other extreme, and fail to
accord TO her the gratitude and apppre-
citation which are due her. That she
was one of the truest and noblest and
lovelfest of all the women who have
ever graced our humanity every intel
hgent person must admit. Among the
most delightful memories touching our
Sayiours earthly career, is His tender
and royal regard for mothers. When
they came to Him with their dear little
ones for His gentle, rich blessing and
the unsympathetic disciples objected,
how quickly He rebuked them and
cheered their mother hearts by saying
so tenderly and beautifully: Suffer
the little children and forbid them not
to come unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven" Every true moth
er may safely count upon the keen
sympathy and genuine appreciation of
Jesus. And this is one reason why
mothers in all the Christian centuries
have been such superior personalities;
the best of them have enjoyed the in
innate friendship of Jesus and the i'm
mense aid that such a friendship could
afford. Notice
1. Mothers are worthy of highest hon
or and deepest affection, because they
are the greatest of sufferers. The
physical suffering which ATTENDS
motherhood is the smallest part of her
pain. Who can portray the keen anx-
iety mothers feel for the safety and
welfare of their children. No words
can suitably describe the anguish of
perience when their children go astray
when they run off into sin and ruin
Gus vice.
2. 1t is their suffering that quail
hes them to become the most effective
comforters and CONSIDERS of the race.

spicuous figure when lie was intro

when Joe numbered a sweet toned
cornet he had the people focking in

Music is Joes forte and before the
evening was over he had delighted the
crowd with the several instrum rents
he played. His double jointed cornet
was novelty and he coaxed more
music out of the bass drum than was
ever supposed to lurk in between the
sheepskins. There was another kind
of music that pleased Captain Doug

fort you." He compares Himself to
mother, because she is likest unto
Him in the comforting power of her
love.
3. Mothers are deserving of all and
more than they receive because of
their beautiful unselfishness. How
they will toll and drudge, sacrifice and
wear themselves out for their chill
drenI Indeed. sometimes we feel that
their devotion is carried too far. And
yet the Master who understood all
values perfectly, never chidded any
one for being. too unselfish. what
a cold, hard, desolate, wooden world
this would be without the mothers
unSelfishness!
4. Her love is like Gods farther in
that she seems to forget the sins and
misdoings of her child, especially if
the child has ceased to do i'll and Is
living an upright useful life. An en-
inent minister who in his youth had
been reckless and hayward, almost
breaking the heart of his mother, re-
ferred to that period of his life one
Sunday in sermon. At the close OF
the service, this mother whose halr
had Whitened prematurely and whose
row she had borne, on account OF ms
sinful conduct, threw her arms around
his neck and said: "Oh. my son, why
did you say that? You never were
bad" Her fond affection and joy in
his new life of usefulness, seemed to
have obliterated from her memory all
trace of the years when he almost
broke her heart by his unrighteous
living.
II. The debt we owe to mother is
one that can never be fully paid. In
the nature of the case she has done
more for us than we can possibly do
for her. Roosevelt, the worlds fore
most man today, declares that the
mother is the one supreme asset of
national life. She is more important
by far than the successful statesman,
or business man, or artist or scien-
fist" When all is said, it is the mother
and the mother only who is a better
his country
Certainly one day in the year should
be dedicated to her; day on which
she receives special recognition, and
fitting expression of the affectionate
appreciation in which she is held. The
white carnation may well be worn as
a visible token of our love and loyalty.
1t has been said: The three dearest
words in human Language are moth
err home and heaven. Mother makes
the home here and will be one of the
chief attractions in the home above.
In what way can be liQuidate the debt
we owe her so satisfactorily as to
make our lives so pure, upright and
Christlike in this world that we may
thus be qualified to spend an eternity
of bliss with her in the heavenly
home? In this way we may help an
swer her most earnest prayers and
contribute most to her everlasting en-
joyment.

A cablegram was received here Fri
day by his mother saying that he was

the time.
Mr.. Johnson left last December for

visit Spain, Portugal and Northern At

Norwich being his birthplace, and pre-
vious to sailing had spent several
months here and gave an exhibition of
