Mothers Day

Mothers Day
AS the second Sunday in May OF
each year rolls around we are re-
minded that it will be Mothers
Day" A day that should be en-
shrined in the hearts of all human
beings whether they have mothers
living or dead.
No one, either rich or poor, un-
less they are lost to all that senti-
ment which comes into our very be-
ing when the name of Mother is
mentioned, which brings to our
minds the love and tender care she
manifested during our infancy and
has followed us as long as she was
on earth.
No difference how low we have
sunk in degradation, no difference
how many crime we have commit
ted, Mothers love never falters,
or her efforts cease in her endeav-
Ors to stop some loved one from go
ing the downward pace to ruin.
Thousands of Mothers today are
ON their knees beseeching the Mas
ter tOFsave and bring back to the old
homestead once more, those who
have wandered away.
Boys and girls will of necessity
be compelled to leave the old home
and seek a position in the busy
world. No doubt many will go astray
But remember back at the old home
there is a Mother whose whole heart
is centered on you. No difference
how far away you may be. A Mo-
ther's love is unfathomable, its
depths cannot be measured; it will
follow you to the ends of the earth.
s. Thomas H. Benton. Senator and
lawyer of North Carolina, in writing
of the influence of a Mother said in
part:
Z MY Mother asked me never to
use tobacco. have never touched
ii. She asked me not to gamble and
Thave never gambled, and carnOt
tell who is losing in games that are
being played. She admOnished me
against drinking and have been a
total abstainer since making that
promise; and he further said, What
ever capacity for endurance l have
at present and whatever usefulness
J. may have attained in life, have
attributed to having complied with
the sacred wishes of my sanity Mo-
ther.
&. Some one has said and it is true,
that it is characteristic of the Am
erican heart to cling to home and
Mother.
- "A young man had wandered away
from his home in the Southland to
place in the far west and through
being out of work had purloined a
few dollars from the pocketbook of
his roommate. Being accused he ac-
RnOwledged the theft, saying he
would replace the amount as soon
as he found workout his room
mate would not listen to his plea
but had him arrested and placed in
Jail.

and convicted and being brought be-
fore the court for sentence, the |
Judge said to the young man. have /
you anything to say why the SEN
bence of the court shall not be pass
ed upon you. !
Milford chronicle., 1931-05-08

The young man stood with bowed
head, but only for a moment when
he looked up into the judges face
/ and commenced by telling of his old
, home in the Southland. How careful
he had been brought up, how he had
been taught to attend church and
church school and to shun evil COM
panions, and then he commenced to
speak of his Mother with tears
streaming down his face. He told of
her great love and the many sacri-
fees she had made for him. How her
letters had followed him, always
ending with your Mother is pray
ing for you my boy and for your
safe return to the ones who love
you" The young man then said to
the Judge: Back yOnder at the old
homestead in the South, l feel it in
my heart that my old sanity Mother
is on her knees praying for the
safety and protection of her way
ward boy. When the young man had
finished there was not a dry eye in
the court room, including the judge.
The judge said to the young man,
you don't look to me like harden
ed criminal, and in your case l am
going to suspend sentence and TAX
ing from his pOcketbook a bill of
large size, handed it to the young
man, saying take this and go back
to the old home and to the Mother
who loves and is yearning for YOU
and don't ever leave her safe and
protecting care until you feel per-
fectly competent to stand the many
temptations which the world will
hold out to you. You are discharg-
ed.
A Mothers love! A Mothers
lOvei! How deep? How lasting??
To wandering girls and boys who
have embarked on a sea of folly
stop and think for a moment, how
would the Mother feel back home if
she knew of your waywardness. Go
hack home to Mother and on the
10th day of May make her heart
glad by your home coming. Don't
forget to take her a bunch of flow
ers.
Sunday should be day of rejoic-
ing among the homes in this land.
1t will be the homecoming of r1any
who have been far away and their
coming will bring peace and happi-
ness in many homes. Bring some
flowers to the Mother who is living
and if dead, get the purest white
flowers to be had and scatter them
profusely over the grave in which
she lies. Don't neglect this; do it
for the sake of one losing has no
end.
If I were a convict, condemned to
die,
Perhaps for some fiendish crime;
Whose prayers would soften my
weary way?
The prayers of Mother Of mine.
We may have to love sweethearts |
and friends,
Love that in the time of adversely |
may fly;
But the blessed love of Mother
Is a love that never will die.

The lesson for the day entitled,
Jesus and Zacchaeus.' was diecus-
sed in very intelligent manner by
members of the different classes and
the fact was brought out that Jesus
could save to the .uttermost.
Jesus was on. a pilgrimage from
Jericho to Jerusalem and no doubt
as He proceeded on His way many
different kinds of people presented
themselves to, the Master and asked
of Him that He would heal them,
which He did.
No doubt one of the principal
characters of the lesson today had
heard of the wonderful work per-
formed by Jesus in causing the
blind to see, cleansing the leper and
other diseases of like character that
it created a desire on the part of
this man to see the One Who could
perform such miracles. ''
Zacchaeus was a chief publican. or
a tax gatherer, a set of men who
was despised by the Jews of that |
day and for that reason. and the |

So he ran on ahead and climbed
up into a sycamore tree.
And when Jesus came to the place
He looked UP and said unto him

When the crowd saw this they
murmured and said He has gone to

Faulkner, Rev. H. NJ. Ralph, pastor
of the Georgetown Circuit, preach
ed the morning sermon-basing his
discourse on the text to be found in
the Acts of the Apostles 1-8. But ye
shall receive power.
The minister said in part that Jes-
us was speaking to His disciples
who had seen the mighty works per-
formed by Him. They asked Him
when they would receive the power
that would enable them to perform
such miracles.
Jesus answered and said to them,
When you receive the power of the
Holy Ghost from on high you will
be able only to do such miracles as
you have seen Me do, but greater
than these shall ye do. after have
passed to My Father. He further said
that spiritual power was needed in
training our children and in the
class meeting, prayer meeting and
revival services that unless such
power was present, all would go into
decay.
We have not space for further
comments, but it was an old fash
ioned gospel sermon, preached with
force and power. The people OF
Georgetown should feel proud in
having such man as their pastor.

Sermon by Rev. Hamer
The sermon preached by the Rev.
Conrad Hamer5 of KentOn, at the fu
neral services. for George Fl. Spicer
in the Glendale NJ. L. Church on
Thursday, April 80, requires more
than passing notice.
1t is true our former pastor had
good subject for his discourse, as
George H. Spicer had lived all his
life in an upright and just manner.
He had carried out the great COM
mand of Jesus, to love God with
all your heart and your neighbOr as
thyself." While Mr.. Hamer's words
to the family were very comforting,
but his real sermon was to the liv-
ing and was based on the text
found in Hebrews, 18th chapter, and
14th verse: For here have we no
continuing city, but we seek enc to
come" .a'.
The aim of the minister was to |
direct his hearers thoughts from !
worldly things and have them CEN
ter their hearts and minds on things |
which are of a heavenly nature.
He spoke of The shortness Of the
human life, how necessary it was to
prepare for the home coming be-
yond the skies. His whole effort |
seemed to be to get women and men
TO leave off doing wrong and take on
instead that righteous feeling which
makes the human soul so happy and
prepare them for their entry into
that city where God rules supreme.
He further said the tendency of
the church was to assume prerOga-
tives belonging only to the world
and unless we were able to shake
off the modern idea of true relig-
ion and get hack into the old way,
