MOTHER EUL0GlZED
IN GLOWING TERMS
BY REV. CHESSMAN
CONTINUED from Page ~

girls go wrong; il is no wonder boys
grow up to be criminals the wastrels
and pariahs of society. Home has
been yeritable hell for them, an en-.
vironment for the breeding of vice
Nor are all the unmotherly moth
ers in the slums. Some are women
of fashion, some walk in polite cir
cles and delegate the bringing up of
the children to servants. Pity many
poor little rich boys and girls They
have their lives surrounded with all
the luxuries money can buy every
luxury except the one they most need
"a mothers love, careases, counsel
But tonight we wish to have our
minds dwell upon real mothers. Such
we would eulogize, such we would rec
Ognize with loving tributes. Thank
God for for them, gifts from heaven,
Gods guardian angels, the sunshine of
our homes, the conservators of the
nations welfare.
God thought to give the sweetest
thing
In his almighty power, and deeply
bordering
What it should be--one hour
In fondest joy and love of heart
Outweighing every other,
He moved the gates of heaven apart
And gave to earth-a mother.
Presbyterian Church.
Yesterday was an ideal day for
Parents" day at the Presbyterian
church, the day was bright and clear,
and large attendance was the re-
suit.
The subjects for the day were,
Motherhood" for the morning and
Brotherhood" for the evening.
The pastor. Rev. Vonckx, related
how at first the position and worth
of the mothers was recognized by the
setting apart of the second Sunday Of
faithfulness of fathers called for rec
ognition and it was decided by many
that instead of calling the second Sun
day OF May Mothers Day" it would
be better to call it Parents Day
The possibilities of Motherhood
was the pastors theme, and he show
ed how they were only attainable
thru sacrifice, but il is this sacrifice
that is so nobly made that raises the
mothers to the place of pre-eminence
In the home and produces that wond-
erful mother.love that is so much
like the Divine love.
THE Joy of the wedding covers up
the sacrifice OF the bride, even as it
ought to; the sacrifice of ambitions
that cannot be realized with home,
of freedom for submission to a hus-
band and family, Of ease for hardship
and of peace of mind for worry, not
that these are always present but that
they prevail some of the time.
Love is the tender plant that
should be cultivated in every home
and without cultivation 1t will not
grow. Its growth is essential to the
happiness of the home; with it the
home becomes like heaven but with
out it, the home becomes like hell.
Let the young people look for love
in their lovers, not the worthless effer-
vescent sentiment but that attitude
which shows itself in the relations of
the home, to ones mother and ones
father; for single blessedness is far
better than wedding wretchedness
