W TOMANS way OF serving the state IS
w Dy bearing children. There is no
higher service. Mans way is
period Of military service. Both OF them
face danger, suffering and death. But the
mother receives no reward. The fact OF
motherhood is generally an economic disad-
vantage. whereas the man is compensated, re-
ceives pension when disabled and is given
privileges for having served.
So Mrs. Lita Holingworth points out when
she calls attention 70 the fact that maternity
benefit has been excluded from the health in
sutsnce bill now before the New York Legis-
sture
A public hearing 10 discuss the provision, OF
the bill was held March "A, and women doc
tors, psychologists sociolosists, feminists and
,uErasists feel that the opportunity is upon
them TO speak their minds concerning mother
hood insurance. England Germany and other
European countries have insurance for moth
ss," they say why should they be ignored
here9'
Mrs. Holling&orth, psychologist and writer
voices the sentiment OF many thinking women.
Millions OF dollars" she says come out OF
our treasures to compensate men who go 70
war Tor the service OF the country. Surely
enld bearing is quite as important to the ma
ton Tn. soldier and the mother both per
form their duties at the risk OF their lives.
The conditions are quite analogous. But
everything IS done 70 make military service
an advantage 70 man and maternity burden
10 woman. A man is not only compensated
and peusioned for service while woman IS
not but he is given privileges in obtaining
employment or has his position held tor HIM.
She often finds that motherhood costs her

ic basis. But motherhood insurance as meas
ure OF health insurance bill is an entering
wedge and will make child bearing little less
of burden to the working woman
The original draft for the bill to which Mrs.
Hollingworth refers was prepared by com
nittee from the American Association for La
Dor Legislation, assisted by three representa-
tves OF the American Medical Association, and
contained clause giving insurance in cases
Of maternity. The benefits included the care
Of nurses and physicians, medicines and med
icsl things which were required, and the moth
er if worker, was TO receive two-thirds OF
her wages during period OF eight weeks,
two weeks preceding childbirth and six weeks
following Because of some opposition this
clause was omitted in the bill presented to the
Legislature.
TO CHECK BAD PRACTICES.
Mrs. Hollingworth expressed the conWc-
ton that this small benefit would be OF great
help to working women and the wives OF work
ingmen. She believes that il would consid-
erably reduce abortions among this class One
reason for abortions, she says, is that women
fear losing their work, and, knowing less about
preventive measures than abortion, endanger
their lives and health by the latter. She be
leves too, that the practice OF nursing babies
three and four years which is distinctly bad
for the child, will be checked among the wives
OF workngmen If they receive maternity IN
surance because their fear OF having more
children will be 10 some extent lessened
ITS all too absurd" she smiled. Society
;nbibits the limitation OF childbirth by pre-
ventivc measures. Why, then, shouldn't the
needy mother be assisted when she is bearing
children? 1t will be such benefit 20 society,

In his infinite medry and good
ness, the all-wise and powerful
God, the God of the universe, the
God that gave US our being in the
world and keeps US under the hol-
low of his hand, has seen fit to
call from our ranks, our aged and
beloved father in Israel, Elder ].
H. Davis. In removing this dear
old soldier Of the cross, we feel
deep down in our hearts that we
lose a brave and loyal banner
bearer for our blessed Savior, one
who fought the battles for the
Master through all the trying cir
cumstances of life.
In his loss we lose a great COM
fort and incentive to live for God
and to give him the best that is
in our life. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the church loses
a lifelong, faithful and earnest
servant in the vineyard OF the
Master, the community a good,
conscientious neighbor and chris
tian citizen.
Resolved, That we extend to the
children, grandchildren and rela-
tives our heartfelt sympathy in
this their sad hour of bereave-
ment.

THE GREAT GOD.

1t is the graveyard in which is
buried much of the promising
intellect OF this country. 1t is the
junk-pile in which lawyers, doctors
newspapermen, business men alike
i are scrapped.
I 1t is the will-o-the-Wisp of am.
bition, ever leading on to the
destruction of integrity, of honor
and Of iair-play, across the black
sWamps of consuming sel6shness
It is the shifting sand that change;
with every wind of self-adyance
ment. 1t is the bright goal O
our hopes" that being grasped
vanisbes.
1t is deceit, it is treachery, it is
q stabbing in the back, trading,
trahicking with honorable things
that ought to know no strain. 1t
is the traducer of honr, the black
ener of character, the underminer
of pure lives.
1t knows no rules Of fair play,
1t has no limits beyond which it
may not go. 1t spares not pure
women and innocent children.
There is no mercy in it. For the
vanqui8hed, it is always the
thumbs down OF the Roman
gladiator,
Love fees it; friendship cannot
live for long in its pestilentiaI
presence; honor is driven away
from it.
1t consumes him who seeks it;
but before consuming it, blackens
and burns into him indelible
scars.
Above its portals, like those OF
Dante, are inscribed in letters Of
living fire, He that enters here
leaves behind all hope Of peace and
happiness and content"
But many there be who cross
that grim threshold and who press
on after the mockerv Gifts phantom
light as after the Holy Grail.

services were conducted by Revs.
Jackson and Phelps, when her
body was laid to rest in the Pub

She was reared under the in.

NOT enough CHILDREN

to sufficiently nourish both body and

nature demands are greater than ii

pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need

To the Baptist Churches of Weak
lev County Association
Our association which meets
with Ralston church on Oct. 4, is
drawing near and l fear that some
Of the pledges which were made at
our association are yet unpaid.
We should not permit this to be,
for our missionary, Bro. G. A.
Morrison, has been very busy in
the Lords vineyard and, by the
help Of the Lord, is doing a great
work.
One church has been organized
and now has an active member
ship of twenty-one jealous workers;
who have agreed to pay $500 Of
Bro. Morrison's salary next year
in order to have service once a
month at their church. Several
meetings have been held in which
quite number have protested a
hope in Christ and united with
some OF our churches. Other
meetings are yet to be held and we
are expecting great results there
from.
Now, we want to employ our
missionary another year for at
least tbree-fourths Of the time, and
now brethren, we beg you not to
send your messengers to the as
ISOLATION uninstructed, but let the
churches say how much they will
pay for the support OF our mission
airy and then pay that amount,
and your messengers will not 60
to the association in an embar-
raised condition. II the thirty
five churches which are repre-
sented in our association would
pay an average of $25 per year we
would have $875,00 to pay our
missionary with and could employ
him for full time, and eternity
alone could tell the good that
might be accomplished thereby.
Brethren, if we are Missionary
Baptists let's show our faith by
our works. Dear pastors and
fellow deacons, let US insist that
you bring this great cause before
your churches and instruct your
messengers to pledge a liberal
for the support OF our
missionary, that he may be able
to reach every place of restitution
the bounds of our as,
and then we can truly
wear the name of Missionary
Baptist,
We again appeal to you to help
US in this work.
