Mr.. Tomkinson gave a unique inter
probation Of the parable of the food
Samaritan-quite out of the beaten
track but not at all strained in the de-
ductions. He applied the lesson u
present day problems very forcefully
and sent a large congregation away
doing some serious thinking along the
line of true friendlincss and what it
meant. Among ether things he en-
dorsed very emphatieally. the intent of
the Perry prohibition law. with the in
ference that more would be heard from
him later
IN the Bible school special emphasis
was given to Mothers day. The or
chestra gave orchestral arrangements
of Coronation and other old tunes. The
little folks sang their beautiful songs
to the mothers and erandmothers, and
various appropriate readings were
given.
Another large congregation was
present in the evening. when Rev Mr.
Fomkinson preached on Mothers Day
He spoke especially of the obligation
of the world to mothers, the influence
which they exert, their silent suffer
ings and anxieties and their love for
and constant hope for the success of
their children. and he gave numerous
| illustrations to emphasize his points
| he made it clear that what he said
applied largely to fathers, especially
as to their duty toward their children.
