SeIf-Made Men

Once very distinguished man
was introduced to a gathering as !
self-made man. He refuted this
statement in his Introduction and
was later questioned about it.
Il was thinking" he said, that
really am not self made man. True,
/ did begin to work in store at the
age of ten, but that was because my
mother thought l ought to have the
educating touch of business. True,
/ did read books greedily as boy,
but that was because mother led me
to it and had me give her accounts
of all the books / read. Even my in
tegrity, to which I credit any sue
cess l may have attained, was due
to my mother. I recall once I had
some apples to sell by the peck and
was putting the poor ones in the
bottom of the measure and the fine
ones on top. When my mother saw
what / was doing she gave me talk
on honesty which I never forgot. On
the whole, I could scarcely call my
self self-made man. More truly,
my mother made me what am"

a great reform like Frances Willard !:
or mother whole needy community
like Jane Addams; or mother the
suffering Of the world like Florence
Nightingale and Clara Barton The
mother-heart is back of such lives,
and many similar ones of humber
scope who live, not for themselves,
but for the sons and daughters of
the race. For the mother-heart
means more than just the physical
bond between the generations. In
this innate tendency to brood over
and care for others, especially the
young, noble womanhood expresses
it's finest artistry and finds it's pro-
foundest satisfaction.
The marks Of the mother-heart
are an unselfish thoughtfulness for
others, an unmeasured love for hui
manity, and a patience that is only
possible where hope never dies. 1t
it the companion of genuine good
ness. So, on this Mothers day we
render grateful homage to all who
not themselves actual mothers, have
poured out freely the treasures OF
the mother-heart.

SECREST OUTLINES PLAN FOR
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Extensive plans for the celebra-
ton of the 150th anniversary Of the
creation and settlement of the
Northwest territory were made pub
lie recently, by Congressman Robert
T. Secrest, speaking at Northwest
territory banquet of the Daughters
of the American Revolution at the
Mayflower hotel. Official opening of
the celebration will take place in
New York City, July 13, and Pres
ident Roosevelt has been invited to
be present to inaugurate the pro-
gram. One of the highlights of the
day, Representative Secrest pointed
out, will be the Federal Theatre
Guilds pageant depicting the July
13, 1887, session of congress in
New York City-the session that
passed the famous ordinance of 1887
creating the northwest territory.
Ohio. one of the six states carved
from the old territory, will have
major role in the celebration, Repre-
sentative Secrest, a member of the
federal celebration committee,
brought out. The second of the
great celebration days will be United
States day, to be observed July Is,
1888, at Marietta, where the first or
derly settlement, under the ordi-
nance, took place, in 1888 At that
time the monument, to be erected at
Marietta, will be dedicated.
The Marietta monument, the mod
ell for which has been approved, will
show the pioneers landing at Ma
rietta to establish the first North
west territory settlement. Gutzan
Borglum will be the sculptor and
the monument, to rise on the Ma
rietta commons along the Mus
kingum river, will be of native
sandstone.
Long prior to the big Marietta
celebration, however, Representative
Secrest said, caravan of ox-drawn
Conestoga wagons will be sent ont
from Ipswich, Mass, bound for Ma
rietta, other Ohio towns and cities
and tour of the other five states
which were formed from the North
west territory.
This caravan will leave Ipswich
next Dec. 3, and move to Summerills
Ferry, Pa, where the pioneers

| by the suffering of the righteous.
V. 25. ''Shall not the Judge of
the earth do right?" Abraham is
positive that God is just, and come
what may he will have faith in him.
V. 26. "And the Lord said, if
find in Sodom fifty righteous within
the city, then / will spare all the
place, for their sakes." Abraham
had prayed to save the place
if there were fifty righteous,
and the Lord answered his prayer,
Abraham's faith in God increased SO
that he prayed for a greater consid-
Grafton and each time the Lord an
swered, and finally Abraham getting
down to the number of ten which
would cover the case of Lot and his
family in Sodom, he stopped with
that request.
Here are great lessons for US.
Christian faith is progressive. Abb
raham started with the faith he had,
and using it his faith was increased
so that he could trust God for great
er considerations.
We can not ask God for blessings
beyond the measure of our faith.
Faith grows by It's own victories.
But as Abraham ascended in faith
he descended in humility; each time
he went down lower that he might
rise higher. His growing boldness
was not the boldness of presump-
tion and arrogance, but it was the
importantly of humble faith, faith
that was careful not to go beyond
the limits of Gods patience and
mercy.
Then there is picture of the
goodness of God who would spare
the city because of just a few right
eous in it; the world lives because
there are some righteous in it; it is
the righteous people in the city who
have such wonderful power that
there is value and safety in the city.
Righteousness is real patriotism,
and in Righteousness is the country 3
security and prosperity.

committee of the Northwest terri
tory celebration will take charge of
routing the wagons through Ohio.
Then, the caravan will move into In

| The federal committee on the eel

organization is taking an active part

150th anniversary, photographic

Lesson .HM.!!sM!s 70 (!

Abraham, Man of Prayer, Cen
esis 18:17-32, for Sunday, May g.:
While Abraham was doing at the
door of his tent, three strangers call
ed and foretold the birth of a
promised son, and told of the sin Of
Sodom doomed to destruction. One
of these strangers fingered and
spoke in the name Of God, as por-
trayed in this lesson.
VS.. II, Is. "And the Lord said,
Shall hide from Abraham that
thing which l would do, seeing that
Abraham shall surely become a
great and mighty nation?" Before
divine judgment should be admins
tered to wicked Sodom, God took
Abraham into his council, thus max
ing him a partner in works of right
eousness.
v. 10. "For I know him, and he
will command his children and his
household after him. Abraham
was the chosen friend of God be-
cause of no arbitrary selection, but
because Of intimate. knowledge. The
Lord knew that he was worthy of
the charge he was committing to
him in making him the father of ma
tions.
VS.. 20, 81. "And the Lord said,
Because the cry of Sodom and Co.
morrah is great, and because their
sin is grievous; I will go down now,
and see whether they have done al
together according to the cry of it,
which is come unto me; and if not
will know" God will not infiict
his judgments except in accordance
with justice, in view of all the facts
in the case.
v. 22 "And the men turned
their faces from thence, and went
toward Sodom; but Abraham stood
yet before the Lord The two an
gels who accompanied Jehovah were
now sent toward Sodom; while the
third which was called the Lord, or
Jehovah, remained with Abraham
for the purpose of teaching him the
great usefulness and Importance of
faith and prayer.
v. 23 "And Abraham drew near,
and said: Wilt thou also destroy the
righteous with the wicked?" Alb
raham being human, thought it an
injustice that the good and bad
should be blotted out together, no
consideration being given for being
righteous We still ask that ques-
ton, forgetting that such view is
very narrow; as medical science has
been advanced by the physical suf-
fering of many, SO the spiritual wei
fare of mankind has been advanced
