CHURCH WILL
HONOR MOTHERS
OF THE STATE

Following the issuing of the Moth
ers Day proclamation by Governor
Miller, setting aside Sunday next as
Mothers Day, many of the clergymen
Of this city have prepared special SER
mons for the day. Among those who

Reys. George Edward Reed, of Grace
Church, and the Rev U. r. Smiley, Of
West Presbyterian Church.
George G. Penney. superintendent
OF the Sunday School Of the Second
Baptist Church, has prepared a spe-
cial program.
The Rev. DR.. Smiley said: "Ail
honor to the State that gives official
recognition of the observance of
Mothers Day. Next to the name Of
Jesus Christ there is no name in the
language OF men so sweet, so sacred
as the name of mother The moral
strength, the human heroism and the
moral advance of the whole world owe
debt of gratitude to motherhood
which can never be repaid Let as
all then esteem it a great privilege to
have set apart one day in which we
can do homage to the name of her
who by self-sacrificing love has done
so mucn Tor us.
DR. Reed, in speaking OF Mothers
Day, said: "As men grow in years,
The deeper in the heart sinks the ap.
probation of the heroic constancy and
beloved affection lavished upon them
In the days Of childhood and youth
No more beautiful custom could be OBJ
served. Loyalty to the home, 10
father and mother will be freshly ell
kindled on the altar of many a heart
by the observance of the day, and
children will be, deeply impressed. BY
loving words spoken TO mothers OK
pressive of appreciation by the wear
ing Of the white flower or by some
kindly deed many a mothers heart
will be made to sing for joy"
The celebration at West Church will
be held At 2 o'clock, in connection
with the Sunday School.

cal music by quartetts, piano duets,
dramatic readings, orations, and essay
An admission fee Of 25c will be charged

Holyoke people should begin to think
OF how they can best give their support
to the high school in the contest to be
held at Sterling May 9. and 10. The
Holyoke participants in the contest Of
last year at Brush put Holyoke into the
race rather emphatically. No one had
ever thot seriously Of Holyoke as for
midable contestant for honors. But two
firsts and two third places were cap
tured just the same which gave the
high school the banner now hanging in
the assembly room. The other high
schools Of northeastern Colorado now
take Holyoke into consideration when
mixing the dope on the contest.
A rate Of 81 for the round trip will be
given and many rooters for our repre-
sentatives should 10 up. Three enter
tainments are afforded at the cost OF 50
cts for all or 25c apiece. Friday night

steal events and in several Of the athlei
