MOTHERS INFLUENCE
DR.. FAIRS SUBJECT
Westminster Church Pastor breaches
TO Large Congregation On
Mothers Day.

Rev. James Y. Fair, ID. D., of West
minister Presbyterian Church. preach
ed to a large congregation yesterday
morning. Being Mothers Day, his
theme was Mothers influence TAX
ing his text from Proverbs 31:2S:
Her children arise up and call her
blessed" The pastor said, in part:
THAT prince among American pull
piteers, DR.. Theodore Ledyard Cuyler.
once remarked that at the university
he attended the question was asked:
tribute their acceptance of Christ to a
mothers influence and Immediately n
circle was formed of $50 young men.
That which Is most needed In the
world today Is pious, consecrated
motherhood, which is even more i'm
portant than Christian craftsmanship,
for without the Christian mother there
would be few, IL any. Christian states
men. Blot out Christian motherhood.
and the stream would be poisoned at
the source. While the beloved Presi-
dent Mckinley was noted for his many
lovely traits, think the most import
ant event in his career, certainly the
propagation of the gospel of Christ,
was. when he received word that his
mother was dying, Immediately he
dropped his pen and forgot the inn
portant matters Of state. and flashed
a message over the wires: Tell mother
/ will be there. This message of the
President was made immortal by a
minister at Indianapolis writing the
beautiful hymn on these lines. The
song, while not considered a literary
or musical gem. was taken up by
Alexander and tsed by him In the
great Welsh revival. Tory. who con-
Quoted this revival, said. the singing
of this hmyn had greater influence
in producing this great spiritual bless
ing to Wales than his preaching. and
the editor OF the Review of Reviews.
in going to Wales TO study the physo-
logical eqect of shis revival. reported
that the signing of this hymn was
largely responsible for the great
spiritual awakening there.
MANY times, he said. he would go
to the mines and would hear the men
hundreds Of feet below the earth's
surface singing: Yes, tell my darling
mother I'll be there. DR.. Fair further
said that while the white carnation
was a beautiful emblem of a mothers
love. had II been left to him. he
would have selected a red carnation
instead, which to him would represent
love. fervor and blood, together with
a cross In beautiful language he
portrayed the mothers love for the
Christ on the cross and the Sayiour's
love and sympathy for his mother In
her hour of deepest suffering and
sorrow. which "typifled the carnation
of the mothers love and the incarna-
ton of the God in Christ"
Tha congregation sang with much
fervor the favorite hymn of that
great jurist and Presbyterian. Justice
Harlan. of the United States Supreme
Court: Love divine, all love excelifng,
10y of heaven to earth come down..
There were 240 present in the Sun
day Schoo'. and the superintendent
said he would be greatly disappoint-
ed If we did not have 500 present by
the first Sunay in June. and got the
promise from all present that they
would make an effort to have 500 by
next Sunday.

/. TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS
Rev. w. Russell Bowie breaches To
Federation of Mothers Clubs
Church Is Packed.

Pointing out the good Of the love
and tender care OF mother to her
child, and laying stress on the fact
that the love of one who has care
fully watched over them from their
infancy to man or womanhood should
be returned more than it 10, Rev.
Walter Russell Bowie paid glowing
white flowers were worn yesterday IN
his annual Mothers Day sermon
last evening In st. Paurs Episcopal
Church.
The executive board of the Fedora
ton of Mothers Clubs attended in
body, and helped to make UP a con-
gregation that packed the Grace
Street edifice.
Some Spiritual Aspects of Civic
Motherhood" was the theme from
which DIR. Bowie talked, his text De-
ing AS one whom his mother COM
forteth, so will comfort YOU" Isaiah
66:t3.
He told OF three spiritual character
istics of a mother. First, the mother.
her own life for the child. She loves
the child not for what IL gives Or
what 1t does. but for what IL is. Sec
ond. the mother keeps the child, tells
IL what Is best and directs it as to
what to do. Third. she Is willing to
sacrifice all material things for the
child's sake.
He asserted that the mother
watches over the child from the time
II is rocked In a cradle until 1t Is
grown into man or womanhood,
whichever the case may be, and is
ever ready TO sacrifice her own life
for her children, and do everything
in her power to make them happy.
She sees that they are properly reared
and receive educational advantages
There Is no love so sweet as that Of
the mother, who Is unselfish and self
sacrificing, and DIR. Bowie impressed
on the boys and girls to show their
appreciation OF this unsurpassed love
and tievotation by returning It in every
possible way, by being obedient and
be ever ready to comfort her in the
time OF sorrow.

HOLD MEETING TONIGHT
OF VICE COMMISSION
Decision WIN BE Reached Tomorrow
As To Response To the
Investigators.
MAY FURNISH DATA ASKED
Compromise Will Probably BE Reach
ed--Next Meeting Of Investigating
Committee VIII Be Held Friday
Night.

The Vice Commission will meet to-
night to decide upon its course of
action In reference to meeting the
call of the Council investigating COM
mittee for data now in its possession.
1t Ia believed that compromise
can be reached and that the commits
sion will take such action as to satisfy
the Council investigating committee.
Members Of the commission have held
conferences with Councilman Seaton,
author OF the resolution demanding
the production of all data containing
any reference whatever to members
of the Police Department, and with
other members of the committee, and
they are Of the opinion that what the
commission is prepared to offer will
be satisfactory.
Position of Commission.
The commission has never desired
to withhold anything of value from
the investigating committee, but II
has taken the position all along that
hearsay testimony and declarations
of mere suspicion should not be pre-
sented. Now, however. since the COM
mittee have proven insistent the
commission will probably agree to
furnish such evidence as City Attorney
Pollard may consider relevant, retain
private citizens. The data thus furn-
ished will not be made public. but will
be considered in executive session
only.
That this action will be taken by
the commission when II meets tonight
is the belief of at least one member
OF the commission, though there are
members who have been heard to say
that they will not agree to furnishing
another word OF the testimony in their
possession. The majority. however,
is expected to take the view that little
harm can be done by meeting the de-
mand of the Council committee, al
though they are of the opinion that
they are not legally required to do
so.
Refuse TO BE the Goat.
One point that Is not discussed Tor
publication by the Vice Commission,
but which Is. nevertheless, said to
have weight Is that IL the desired
data be not furnished members of the
committee SO inclined can make the
point that they were unable to OBJ
tain the evidence they wanted and
that II the Investigation break down
1t will be the fault of the Vice Com
mission. That body does not wish to
shoulder any such responsibility, nor
does It wish TO furnish. however. In

of that kind.
