MOTHERS DAY. IS
CELEBRATED AT LOCAL
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Minister Pleases His Congre-
cation With Sermon ON The
Greatest Mother in World.


tExtracts from sermon Sunday
morning in the First Christian
church. by the minister, w. A. Gress-
man. on the subject; The Greatest
Mother In the World" The text was
Prov. s1:2S, 500
The American home or today is 10
a large degree dissolved. The dlversI-
ity OF interests IN the social and econo-
mic world makes strong pull on
many members OF the family. drawing
them away from the intimate bless
llngs Of the home and rreslde. For
these 1t means Sink or swim. survive
or perish"
Notwithstanding the stress and
strain, the stability OF home Is found
in mother. Her character is the char
ncter OF the home, and the home, in
turn. is the character OF the nation.
Strictly speaking. as well as in uni
yersal sense the greatest mother in
the world IL everyone's own mother.
To merit this In the fullest sense. she
must possess four ideal traits. These
traits approach and partake OF the
character OF Jesus.
The first is sympathetic love. 1t is
4 mother who best understands tho
child. In sympathy che allays the
fears OF the child. fears which to 1t
are real and far more fundamental
and far-reaching than the so-called
real troubles are 20 us grown-ups By

she believes In and encourages the
child as did Jesus when lie spoke to
the woman: Neither do / condemn
{ thee, 10 and sin no more" Her heart,
too, is with the child as was the heart
OF Jesus when lie said: Il am with YOU
alway."
The next trait OF the true mother is
her sacrifice. she is ever ready 10
deprive herself Of the. physical com
forts OF food and clothing In order
lthat her child have no lack. while IN
spirit she says with the Master: II
have meat that ye know not Of" In
Il social matter, she is willing and
ready to stay at home with grand
father in order that the child might go

ignation she says she does not care to
20. Like Jesus, sho can declare from
her heart: Il am not alone. the Faith
er is with me"
The greatest mother IN the world Is
also n mother OF prayer. Like the
mother Of Samuel, the mother of John
the baptist, the mother of Jesus, her
prayers may permoate the life of her
child as the blessings and benodiction
Of heaven. :
Finally, and best Of all. the truest
mother Is n Christian mother As
such. her example and ppecept bring
best results, while her own JOY and
strength OF character find their high
est plane.
Too often it is only when we are
far removed by distance and time, and
unable to make amends, that we real
izo how little we appreciate the real
greatness of our mother when we were
with her. The finest respect and
honor that anyone can now render his
mother is to live a faithful and fruit
ful Christian life.

TnEY NEVER SPLIT TIE SHOW.


They don't bring 1t all here"
Once in a while circus agents hear
this statement from townspeople on
the route of Howes Great London
Circus and Van Amburgs Trained An
! lmais. The agents smile because II Is
one of the Oldest misconceptions that
the public has about the circus and
one Of the most ridiculous. No circus
ever splits.
| The feat is utterly impossible, when
1t is understood that It costs n stagger-
ing sum to get one compact, efficient
organization over the road, the folly
of carrying a duplicate set to split the
show now and then will be understood.
When the Howe-Van Amburg circus
comes to Pendleton Monday, May 10,
you'll see that every man has certain
things to do Vital to the Job OF get
ting the show through Its day OF move
ment, putting upon the lot parading
and exhibiting There are no drnnes
hanging around waiting for tho show
to split so they may earn their sal
aries. No. indeed.
And again. Could any circus afford
to carry double set of ticket wagons,
baggage wagons extra horses. cook,
shop horse, side show, and menagerle
tops? OF course, the big show carries
emergency canvas, but MS for use
only in case of disaster.
The physical task Of splitting tho
big show on the road is an impossible
one The cost would be prohibitlve,
even If II were possible. And where
in this day Of the big top game. when
agents and bosses are short would you
get the needed men Of experience?
oh. 1t has never been done: &c isn't
being done, and 1t will never be done.

trained specialists. operating with the
ammunition supplied entirely by the
producer.
Unless the manufacturer knows
definitely and coneisely the relation
which commercial stagnation through
out the rest of the world bears to his
own industry. he is not liable to be vi
tally interested, except in an abstract
manner. I believe. however, that
when American manufacturers realize
the fundamentally important part
which conditions in Europe play in
shaping conditions in this country,
that they will endeavor to stabilize
them with the same degree of preci-
sion, expertness and energy which
mark their conduct Of domestic busi-
ness.
It is because the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers believes that its
members can best be informed
through the Representatives Of other
nations just what conditions abroad
are today, that it has organized the
conference of ambassadors and minis
ters Of world trade. The diplomatic
and consular representatives of "a ma
ton will be present in New York on
May 10th, 18th and 18th, and in con-
ferences they will explain TO the exec
utiyes responsible for the commercial
supremacy Of this country, why those
executives must co-o9erate with the
other nations of the world in restor-
ing production. 1t is impossible at
this time TO say what permanent re-
suits win be achieved by this confer
ence, but believe that If it does moth
ing else il will paint the most vivid
and intimate picture yet painted in
this country, of the vast importance
Of the rest Of the world to the we'll
being of this country.
In every part Of the United States
one finds manufacturers. both individ-
uaily and in groups, who are vitally
anxious TO aid in every way possible in
restoring the economic equilibrium Of
the world not only because they are
anxious for the welfare Of other peo-
pies. but also because they are dis
turbed regarding the welfare of their
own people. It is difficult, however.
for these busy men to get clear and
unbiased view of the necessities of the
situation unless an organization such
as ours undertakes to present to them
briefly, definitely and concisely a sali
ent presentment such as we hope will

Mrs. Ostrich Of Zippy.
Zippy answered proudly. why,

them. One day I'd be at the head
of the brown ponies, the next with
the milk-white ones, and the next
day I'd help the coal-black ones.
Then I'd begin all over again"
But why?" Mrs. Ostrich insisted
upon knowing.

not"

DAILY LETTER
CONCERNING MONEY.
By DR.. William E. Barton.

The congregation sang out of a
recent hymn book:
Lord, l care not for riches, neither
silver nor gold;
| would make sure of heaven, I would
enter the fold.
They all lied.
Everyone of them cared for rich
es. The cash-girI on So a week want
ing Sc, and the man who owned one
railroad and wanted another, all car
ed for money.
The minister in the pulpit had to
have money next day to pay the gro
Ger, and the leader of the choir was
not unconcerned with the problem
whether he could get enough money
out of his singing or must devote
part of his time to other work.
The man who says he does not care
for money is untruthful. Every man
ought to care for money.
But there are some things that
money viii not buy. and they are the
best things in life. Sunshine and
fresh air come free.
