BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. d.
Editor of Advance
Tayt. HahaklxryLx 1.12.2.4

Habakkuk is a prophet of whom
we know nothing except what we
can gather from his brief prophecy,
Some have inferred from the last
verse Of the prophecy S:19) that
Habakkuk was a singer in the Tenn
pie choir, but there is no certainty
about this. Yet this unknown man
has left us. three chapters of a brief
prophecy, full of deep insight into
human experience and problems and
with a rich content of religious truth
and guidance.
We are reminded that even prop
bets had their moments of depres'
sion. At times their words came like
trumpet calls from a mountain top,
as in our last lesson concerning the
prophet voicing Gods great invita-
ton. But at other times they were
as souls in the darkness of the
night. full of lamentation and crying
for the dawn.
Habakkuk appears in this mood
of depression. He comes before us
with o burden. It is the burden OF
a world of violence from which God
seems to have departed-the sort OF
world out of which some modern
prophet in Czechoslovakia, or Pc
land, or Finland, might have utter
ed some CRY of doubt or despair. He
is appalled, at the evil that he sees
around him, at the injustice, the
strife and cruelty, and the disregard
of law and judgment.

surd the suggestion. To honor Mo-
Their truly is really to honor every
thing in life that is worth honoring.
And as we celebrate Mothers
Day this year, in the face OF the
world, it will be well for us to
remember that really the greatest
battle that has ever been fought
has been fought by the Mothers
of men as they have Travelled in
the throes of the birth hour, as
they have gone down into the val
ley of the shadow to bring back
with them the jewels that we're to
shine in their crowns. The greatest
battle that has ever been fought
has been fought by the Mothers OF
men who have served and sacrifl-
ced and sorrowed that their sons
and daughters might come to the
worthy state of noble manhood and
Womanhood and might win and
wear the crowns of victory in life's
greatest battle.
Joaquin Miller has expressed
this thought for us in his beautiful
and never to be forgotten lines
headed, THE Bravest Battle"
1.-THE bravest battle that ever
was fought!
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you
will find it not; 70
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
MAY, not with cannon or battle
shot,
With a sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought
From mouths of wonderful men!
"But deep in a walled-up Wo-
mans heart
Of a woman that would n I
yield,
But bravely, silently bore her
part
Lo, there is that battlefield!
mo marshaling troops, nc bi.
VOudC song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But oh! these battles, they last
so long
From babyhood to the grave.
"Yet, faithful still as a bridge
of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town.
Fights on and on in the endless
wars,
Then, silent, unseen, goes down.
"Oh, ye with banners and battle
shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise!
I tell you the kingliest-victories
fought
We're fought in those silent ways
20 spotless woman in a worle
of shame,
With splendid and silent scorn
Go back to God as white as vol
anne
The kingliest warrior born!"

deans, which he describes in vivid,
swift-moving phrases, as bringing
punishment upon Israel for their
sins; but he reflects that these hosts
of violence are even more sinful. 1t
too shallow and unsatisfactory a
view to think of them as executing
Gods judgment.
In his bewilderment and doubt
Habakkuk cries out for God. cart
Thou not from everlasting, o Lord.
my God, mine Holy One?" But Ha.
bakkuk does not only cry. He does
what every man assailed with doubt
ought to do; he puts himself in the
way of finding an answer.
He pictures himself in this world
of evil and conflict as ascending a
tower and standing his watch. Here
he will wait to e and hear; and
thus waiting, his doubt turns tc
faith as he ices a vision. The judg'
ments of God may be deferred, but
they are sure 1.-THE just shall live
by faith" but the unjust bear the
marks of their own ruin.
4 r
1t is in the light of this vision that
Habakkuk rebukes the unrighteous
ness of his time. The despoilers
shall be despoiled.
Woe is upon those who build their
houses with covetousness, and then
cities with blood and iniquity. Woe
is upon those who give their neigh
bors drink. Woe is upon the makers
of idols and the falsifiers of religion
But Habakkuk ends on a note al
hope and confidence. "The Lord is
in his holy temple: Let all the earth
keep silence before Him."
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-05-12

The present war-torn condltlon
of the world certainly seems TO
mock the spirit of Mothers Day:
When we think of all the fine and
noble sons who are being slaugh.
tered at the behest and Will OF
dictators and sacrificed on the al
ter of greed for conquest; When
we think of what it cost noble ana
gentle Mothers to bear and
ture and train these sons; ana
when we think Of the unspeakaole
pain and sorrow that come TO
every true Mothers heart When
her son fails, suffers or falls, our
hearts grow faint and sick at the
present world conditions. Surely II
there were no other human con-
ditions that condemn war and
cause us to hate war, the travail
and sorrow of the Mothers OF the
world would do SO.
Now, in the midst of these awful
conditions prevailing throughout
the world today, Mothers Day
comes again. We must not lose
the sweetness and blessing of the
day even in the face of a war
torn world. This is one day the
observance of which touches a ten
der and responsive chord in every
human breast. Mother, homes,
Heaven, next to Christ and saliva
ton, the three sweetest and most
appealing words that language
knows. Mother, who gave of her
own beautiful and gentle life that
we might live; Mother, who has
provided for III wants, healed our
hurts, soothed our sorrows a n d
dried u tears. Why should we
not observe a day for her honor?
Mother, who is always the center
and light of the home with its
sweetness, fragrance and charm;
Mother, after whose going h e
home is never the same. w h y
should we not memorabilia a n d
cherish tenderly her name, mem
DRY and influence Mother, who
points and leads the way to hea-
ven, why should we not wear the
red flower and place a kiss of
love on her cheek if she abides
with us still? Mother, who went
away from us and left a void that
nothing can fill and a loneliness
that nothing can quite satisfy, why
should we not wear the white flow
er, bring back visions of her beau
tiful, gentle and patient face; why
should we not in memory knee]
again by her side, feel the touch
of her hand, and say with childish
lips, "Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake,
I pray thee Lord my soul to
take.."
Recently some thoughtless per.
sons have suggested that we ought
not to have Mothers Day; that
the observance of Mothers Day
fails to give honor to Father, or
to Grandmother, or to somebody
else, and that Mothers Day should
be abolished. How silly; how alb.
