THE MOTHERHOOD OF GOD
"a sermon preached at the Metho.

~ ~ N"S III
dist church last Sunday night
The phase, Fatherhood of God is
common. Since the qualities of mo-
therhood are considered of the high
est and finest qualities let us on this
occasion think of God in the terms of
Motherhood believing hat those mob
lest qualities which mother contains
in the finite obtain in the intimate with
God.
The instincts of motherhood which
lie in the breasts of every womanly
women find their source in God who
in creative love brought forth child
rem in flesh endowed in his likeness
and begotten for his companionship
and glory. Unless such is the explain
alton of human existance then | think
we must deny the theory that we hear
his image.
Hence these mother instincts reflect
God. That female creature, tho called
women, who by choice, art, skill or
practice succeeds in ~unsexing herself
in spirit, affection, temperament or
body Is denying God and declaring her
self unworthy the high estate and
honor with which he hath crowned
her.
The number of such women consti-
tute a peril in our present day civili-
cation. The peril obtains largely a
mong that class Of people best fitted
by education and position to reg fa-
miles. They leave the prepetuity of
the race to the poverty cursed, to the
feeble minded, insane and unfit. In
proportion as their tribe increases
so will our social problems increase
and so will our installations to care
for the insane, feeble minded and unfit
be enlarged.
AS goes the home so goes III civ
ilization. IL the home Is to survive
there must be children for where chill
dren are wanting there is the ideal
Christian home wanting. Domestic
relations may change. 1t is possible
that husband and father may yet
scrub the floors, make the beds, wash
the dishes and rock the cradle but hus-
band will never bear the child. In
SO called society the day may come
when by some unnatural process of
incubation the child may be develop
ed, or the waif of the street may be
housed but such processes will never
make a home. 1t requires more than
children to do that. IL requires the
reflection of God in motherhood,
With children in the home who will
care for them, fondle them, hug them.
love them, kiss them, really mother
them There is but one who can do
that; that is Mother. While no mot
her should be compelled to be a slave

Second Trip Ahead Of Of Scheduled Hour

SAN FRANCISCO, August 23.-The second test flight from New York in the post office departmcuts effort to establish continuous day and night flights for the air mail was con- cluded here at 1:46 p. m, today, two and one-half hours sooner than scheduled. Pilot William Blanch- field a relief aviator brought the big pouches of mail one from each of the seven principal stops.
 Burrow Winslow who took the air plane out from here this morning for the third of the flights was to have brought the finishing ship back from Reno today. He was not on hand, however. when the mail reached Reno and Blanchfield, who was on the field. was sent out in his place. It developed later that a taxlcab in which Winslow was rushing to the field from a Reno restaurant broke down.
 The trip. concluded here today was made in the elapsed time Lf 20 hours A minutes. The quick relay flight from New York proved to be even more successful than hoped for and gave rise to the belief that the time can be cut even more The mall ar irving today was rushed to the Ferry post office, sorted and distributed at once.
 Pilot c. K. Vance, whc yesterday brought in the ship that finished the first test flight from New York will start the fourth flight from here to- m orrow.

MELLON AGAIN TO| ASK REDUCTION INI TAX or WEALTH
Advisors Indicate Congress Will Not Cut Down
 SurtaxeS

WASHINGTON. August 2s.-secre- tary Mellon will renew to the next Congress as his recommendation for a reduction in the higher brackets of income surtaxes.
 An announcement of his purpose at the treasury today, however, said he was uncertain whether the proposal would meet with a favorable recep- tion at the capitol.
 The large increase in income tax receipts by the treasury during the last fiscal year, was said to be at tributed by the Secretary in no small part to the small reduction in sur taxes brought about in the last tax Legislation. He was said to believe this cut had acted as a stimulant to investors to employ their money in productive enterprises as differentiaI from tax exempt securities. A fur ther reduction in the higher sur taxes, he is convinced, is the only ef- fective method of competing with the tax exempt issues.
 Some members of Congress who have talked with the Secretary re- gently, have informed him that there is little hope of tax legislation at the next session but he feels that he should send his recommendation to the capitol regardless of the opposi- tion.
 The recommendations for reduction in the higher brackets probably will be contained in the annual report of the treasury department which usu- ally goes to Congress in the first few days of a new session.

ASK PAVING OF

Petition Drawn By Citizens Said To Have Come Upon ReCoE endation Of Pevear Afts Terence On Parking q 0UNTY AND UTILITY

Receiver Of B. R. L. & P. pCo. Tells Committee He Is
 Willing For Clause To Be
 Stricken From The Contract

Paving of First avenue from Forty first to Forty seventh streets, and from Fifty-second to Fifty-sixth streets, from curb to curb, the ex- pense to be borne by the city, county and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company jointly, Is the recommendation contained in a peti- tion prepared by the citizens com mittee, following a conference with J. s. Pevear, one of the railway com pany receivers. Thursday. The peti- tion sets out that the part of the highway between the car tracks and IS inches on each side of the track, be done by the railway company, while the rest shall be done by the commission and revenue board.
 The section of First avenue, not considered in petition, will be left as it is for the present, it was stated but with hopes that the avenue will be paved from curb to curb from Forty first to Eighty fifth streets in the near future. This reservation was made 1t is understood. because of the financial condition of the rail- way company, and because the reve- nue board had already used up the funds derived from the s4,o00,0o0 bond issue. With the payment of road taxes in October, however, the road funds of the county and city will be replenished, and the work can be completed without delay, 1t was said.
 Won l.. Thompson, attorney, and leader in the fight against parking First avenue, which was proposed in an agreement between the railway company and city commission, stated Thursday that the petition was drawn up upon the recommendation of MT, Pevear The citizens committee that conferred with the railway company receiver was, composed of Mrs. J. NJ Hankins, Thomas E. Huey, Chappell Cory, Mir. Thompson and Mrs. R. A. Clayton.
 At the conference W. B. Rogers, at- torney for the company, stated that the residents of the Woodlawn and East Lake vicinity along First ave- nue, who do not own automobiles s should be considered. If the ave- nue Is parked, then the street car service will be speeded up, and the working man, without an automo- bile, can get to and from his work in less time," Rogers said.

 Pevear Willing.
 MT. Pevear told the committed that he would like to see the clause providing for the parking of the street, stricken from the contract but that would depend on the de- cision of Judge W. I. Grubb of the United States court and Lee c. Bradley, co-receiver. He explained that the car line from Forty first to Eighty-fifth streets was the com pany's right of way, the width being 100 feet. This property, he said, was not covered by a franchise and was literally private property. He spoke at length on the costliness of the
