of taking the evangelist's hand to such
degree that he repeated it after ne

and unsilent a fashion as Mr.. Rode
HEAVIER and his sliphorn could con-

Tells Story of Moses
The text from which the evangelist
took his sermon was in Exodus II, tx:
Take this child and nurse IL Tor me
and will give thee thy wages 1t was
the familiar story OF Moses In the
bulrushes.
"The story of Moses is among the
most fascinating in the world" he said.
L.,
the sentence Of death upon him. The
sword of Pharaoh waited for him. for
the King had ordered all the male chill
dren of the Israelites put 30 death and
the female children kept alive.
"The battle Of right against might
was fought right at his cradle, for
the mother determined to save the
child. and God was with her, and when
God is with a mother she always wins.
The first lesson Of this sermon IS
the lesson of a mothers pluck. Fathers
get blue. get discouraged. commit SUI
eide. But mothers put up the bravest
battle in the world, even if they mani
cure their fingers over the dashboard
to be ready when the landlord punches
the door bell on the first of the month.
The mothers work is above all else.
TO find the throne Of greatness don't
90 toward the White House. the bank.
but toward the cradle. Being a king
or an emperor is small business com
rared TO being mother. To plant a
thought. TO build character. rs better
than building a skyscrapcr. God has
plans for your child as well as for
Moses.
Call Mother Songs Greatest
81 like to think some Of the great
songs we shall love in heaven will be
the mother songs Of this world. The
great singers are worth while, like
Calve. Patti. Tetrazzni and Farrar,
but YOU have never heard music unless
YOU have heard a mother sing to sick
child when she didn't know whether
that child was going to get well or
soon hutter out Of her arms In death.
Hell mourned when mother love first
famed up in a woman's heart, and the
darkest fact in he'll is that there is no
mothers love thcre-all is black, end
less bitter hate"
