MORSE CELEBRATING
 HIS TOOTH BIRTHDAY
Advent Christian Church Elder Re. Csiv6S Many Congratulations.

Stafford Springs, Conn.,, May s. Amasa' Morse, an elder in the Ad- vent Christian church, and probably the oldest preacher in that denomi- nation in the country, today quietly observed the one-hundredth anniver- sary of his birth. He spent the Win ter with his daughter, Mrs. Milo P. J. Walker here, as has been his cus- tom for a period of years, alternat- ing the winters between his daugh- ters home and that of his son, Na- than Morse, in Akron, Ohio. His
 summers have long been spent at the home of another daughter, Mrs. Ed son, in Springfield, Mass, and this gave him the opportunity of attend ing camp meeting of the Adventists near that city. Last August Elder Morse preached a sermon at the Springfield camp meeting. Probably he will not do so again as the exer- tion was considerable and he appre ciably noticed it. MT. Morse is in l excellent health, and today received many callers. Ore pleasing incident of the day was the postal card shower which fell upon him, the cards com ing from members of the denomina-
 tion throughout both the Rhode Is-
 land and Massachusetts conference to the members of which he is we'll known and beloved.
 Became Elder in 1S42.
 MT. Morse felt very happy today l over the fact that his one hundredth 1 birthday anniversary fell while he was l here. His native place is in the adjoin-
 ing town of Union. He has lived nearly
 his entire life in and about Union.
 In 1884 MT. Morse joined the Adven- ] tist denomination and became mem- i Der of that branch then termed tho Millerites, who were followers of Will
 liam Miller, and believed that the sec- ond coming of Christ was near at
 hand His ordination to be an elder
 was in 1S42. For nearly sixty years | Elder Morse preached and for much
 of that time he did not have fixed
 compensation, his living only in part being met by voluntary contributions
 In his younger days he preached in l Union and at camp meetings. He
 had membership in the Providence conference. Some dozen years ago
 advancing age compelled him to give
 up active religious work, although he
 has occasionally preached.
 His children do not believe he will | twice in the legislature, in 1860 and
 '61, and he had held various offices 1 in Union.
 1 Personal Welcome Desired. i A fortnight ago an invitation was
 sent out by friends of Elder Morse to have those who could not visit this town to give 8 personal welcome to
 send him letters of cheer and postal
 cards. It was pointed out in the in-
 N1tation that the occasion was un-
 usual Born in the midst of the last
 war between the United States and
 Great Britain, and more than a year 1 before the battle of Waterloo. this
 remarkable life covers a great span
 of history. and most of the great
 events and changes of modern times.
 Ills religious experience also covers
 an unusual period. He heard the
 message of Christ's return from Will
 nam Miller about seventy years ago,
 ana through the intervening years he
 has both held and proclaimed the
 faith"

SUNDAY SET ASIDE
 TO HONOR MOTHERS
Annual Observance of Mothers Day" Comes This Week.
 History of Movement.


 Throughout this broad land Sunday is to be observed in churches and organizations as Mothers day" This observance was begun in the United States in 1906 in Philadelphia, and the custom now is for appropriate services at the churches and Sunday schools and also for every person to wear white carnation, the sym- bolic flower of purity. However, the wearing of any mothers favorite flower will answer the same purpose in recognition of the day. Another custom is to remember the sick and unfortunates on this second Sunday in May, and also to bring little joy to those who are ill in hospitals or incarcerated in jails and prisons. This movement is non-sectarian.
 Each year many more ways of ob- serving this day are discovered in addition to the church services and the wearing of flowers, Mother cards are to be found in the stores, others prefer to mail letter to their old home, so that their mother will re- ceive it by this special Sunday and by few the wearing of white car- nation expresses the Tact that the mother for whom they are wearing it is dead and a red carnation is for a living mother, but these are in a minority and the white flower is the accepted standard.
 This Mothers day. observance that has spread over the country be- gan in 1906, and was started by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia. It came through the death of her moth CT and because of her preference to the white carnation this flower was selected. Miss Jarvis conceived the idea of endearing motherhood and mothers by special observance o1 the day and the wearing of a white flower to give evidence of the wear. er's love and honor for his mother.
