dedicated to Mother"
(By a Character Builder }

(By q Character BuAder.)
No love is greater than that of a Mother for her
child, none can equal it, my friends, and you will find
her always ready to extend a helping hand and caress
you with the same love and tenderness, though the
world has branded you an outcast.
The very thought Of your Mother, who patiently
taught you in your earliest days simple little prayers,
which you will always remember, will never be forgot
ten.
Mems and women's characters are founded upon
the Wisdom of their Mothers" A Mother will try to
give her child a foundation upon which to stand perpet-
ually firm in his or her belief in God.
AS the Character Builder Bible Class" considered
the erection OF Character Builder Memorial Hall" the
thought occurred to me that many of our brothers had
not forgotten the day when God called his Mother to
the Great Beyond. Though she is not visible, her spirit
will guide him and his hands will erect this building to
God and dedicate it to the memory of our Mothers,
whose guidance taught us to love, honor and obey His
Commandments, and in the cornerstone shall rest the
names of our Mothers, who, we think, will always look
toward Character Builder Halp as a monument with
open doors, bidding their children to enter, for they
know that within is love and peace and all who seek re-
pentance will be accepted in the Lords sight.
And let us hope that through our efforts His love
will be extended to the far corners of the earth. May
His blessings be given this Character Builder Memo
rial Hall" and to those who made possible the erection
of this temple in His name. a.

Remarkable GrOzUth:

That many red-blooded, enthusiastic, live, wide
awake men, right here in the city of Memphis, are in
terested in Christianity is shown by the growth and de
velopment of the Character Builder Bible Class.
Starting with four men on January LIST, 1914, the
membership today is 593, showing an average attend
ance Of 20 during 1914, compared with 25 for the past
six months of 1919.
Not only in members has the class grown, but also
in the service-rendering power, being active at all sea-
sons of the year in helping men in definite and prac-
teal ways.

No successful business, social or religious organiza-

growth is suddenly checked, The Character Builder
Mems Bible Class is now so large in numbers that facil-
tiles are taxed to the utmost. We must either stand
still, and therefore probably go backward, or we mus,

pealed in 1878, the three lowest di-
yorce rates in 1916, or which year re-
turns are now complete, are shown
for the District of Columbia, North
Carolina and New York, where the
rates were 10, 81 and IS per 100000
Of population respectively. The
highest rates were returned for
Nevada, Montana and Oregon, which
show 6O7,323 and 225, respectively.
In all States except Maine, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Colorado, the divorce
rates were higher in 1916 than In
1906. In 81 per cent. of the cases IN
1915, the divorce was granted to the
husband, while the husbands rate ln
1906 was 67 per cent.
Desertion is shown by the figures TO
have been the cause for about SO per
cent. of the divorces. Among other
leading causes were cruelty, infidelty
and failure to provide.
Records also showed that the mar
rage rate in 1916 was 1850 per 1907
900, or nine times a. great al the
divorce rate Of 112 per 100000. The
marriage rate in 1905 was 1920 per
100. 900 showing the marriage rate to
be increasing considerably slower
than the divorce rate.
