SUBJECT
ADDRESS DELIVERED BY EVAN.
eELisT AT FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH TUESDAY.

Rev. T. T. Martin gave an address
yesterday at the First Baptist church
on Motherhood"
He said in part:
Marriage based on any one of
three things would lead to the divorce
court
"(a) Animal desires.
"(b) For social advantage.
"(c) For commercial reasons"
He stressed the desirabilitv of be-
levers being married to believers.
saying that saved people do not get
divorces and that children born of
such a union will more than likely
become Christians. He expressed
contempt for the doctrine Of eugenics.
Reverence for motherhood is woe
fully lacking even in Christian homes.
Paul says, Il will therefore that the
woman marry, bear children, guide
the house."
Three-fifths of the children that
come into the world are born under
protest. No wonder they have their
hearts hardened to the gospel"
Potential influences were especial
ly stressed.
I'VE are to teach along the Bible
lines of modest appeal The word
of God must not be blasphemed and
women must not preach.
Train the infant mind along relig-
ious lines. Drill the plan of salvation
into head and heart. Get the gospel
before it.
"Then pay especial attention to
the child's moral training. Ignorance
is not innocence"
Dancing was strongly condemned
as being mimic to good morals.
He then gave the picture of the
various women as given in Prov.
31st chapter, saying it was some
thing out of date with some people.

FREE ISLANDS is
PLAN OF WILSON

Staunton, Va, Dec. 3o.-Early inde-
pendence for the Philippine islands
was predicted by Fresident-elect VIII
son Saturday night in a speech he
made at the birthday banquet In his
honor at the Staunton Military acad-
emy.
His declaration in favor OF the re-
lease of the Philippines from Ameri-
can control was positive and brought
forth tremendous appleause.
"The Philippine islands," he said,
"are at present our frontier, but |
hope we presently are to deprive our
selves of that frontier."
Mr.. Wilson's announcement was
his first definite expression that he
favored the carrying out at an early
date of the pledge in the democratic
platform promising Philippine id6a-
pendence. 1t developed that while en-
route to Staunton Mr.. Wilson had
long talk with Representative William
A Jones Of Virginia, who is pushing
in congress a bill for ultimate Philip
pine independence.
The remainder of Mr.. Wilson's
night speech was devoted to a criti.
cism of Virginians who had tried to
prevent his nomination at Baltimore.
The banquet closed Staunton's cele-
bration Of Mr.. Wilson's 56th birthday
His speech of the afternoon was no
less notable than that delivered at
night Standing on the portico of the
Mary Baldwin seminary, in the chapel
Of which he was baptized, he sounded
tocsin. He declared that no ma.
teriaI progress had been made during
the last century to give mankind full
justice and equal opportunities.
Explaining that he last Christmas
was not his happiest because of his
realization Of the responsibilities
which. win press on him when he be
comes president OF the United States.
Nr. Wilson pledged himself To a strug-
/ gle with war paint on, to base all re-
ward on service.

that all business would be required
/ to present a certificate of services
rendered before being permitted to
take any reward to itself
