SPECIAL SERMONS
 ON MOTHERS DAY
Cler6ymen Extol Virtues and GraCes Of Mans Best Friend

Special Mothers Day sermons were delivered in many churches yesterday snd probably the largest congrcga lions attended services, at least in the Protestant churches, since Easter.
 In speaking on the subject of Moth CTS Day in the South Congregational church last evening, Rev. Dr. George w. C. Hill dwelt upon the subject of children showing proper respect and reverence for their mothers, stating that it is just as easy to stop the spread of ripplcs on the surface of water after a stone has been thrown in as it is to recall the written or spoken word once it has been given.
 Referring to the phrase, "Chickens come home to roost"" he said, What we do or say always comes back to us. There is a give and take ele- ment in every sphere
 Mothers" he continued, ''are in- clned to be little bit old fashioned. They do not come into contact with fife like we do and maybe they are aot so wise and sometimes we arc .emptcd to tell them where they get off' Don't do it, you'll be sorry if you do. You'll never know where your mother gets off until God in His infinite mercy lets you sit in her place and look into the eyes of your own child.
 What a wonderful thing it is to he able to look back into your life and think of the good things you have done and said for your mother Don't lose the chance"
 Advice to women and their relation to the new freedom was contained in d plea for real home life, made by Rev. pr. Abel A. Ahlquist in his ser mon on the Mothers Day subject. Let a mother recognize that her home is the greatest sphere Of woman's usefulness" he said, "I.et her use her gifts and talents with which heaven has so richly endowed her and the church and state will be secure"
 He pointed out the differences be- tween men and women and of won- ans greater spiritual vision and other charact eristics of which man possesses but mcD S'e measure, He told of the different status of women Of the present as compared with the woman of the past and pleaded with tho modern woman not to abuse her new freedom. This new freedom" ho ,aid. must not initiate against moth erhood-~true motherhood if preserved Niil guard the race"
 A mothers influence towards a fu- tpte worlds peace was dwelt upon by Rev. Henry W. Maier who pointed out that ono Of the reasons why world peace should be abolished was on account of motherhood and that on Mothers Day it was fitting that the abo'ishment Of war should bo dis -nssnd. "'rhe hardest blow in tho war" he said. fell, not on those who were wounded in battle but upon the mothers whose hearts were torn to shreds."
 A mothers influence in the greatest of all influence" said Rev. John l.. nayi. 10 Eyoryman's Bible class yes- ierday morning. He mentioned John Randolph. Harriet Beechcr Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher, Rusllin, Emer- son, Oliver Cromwell. France F. Will lard and others who attributed thsir success in life to their mothers.
