Mothers Of servicemen and women
Of the Second Congregational
church were guests at the morning
service yesterday at that church at
which time the pastor, Rev. DR..
John G. Walker, presented each
with a rose as a token Of affection,
pride and sympathy. on behalf Of
the church and on behalf Of many
In the service who would send flow
ers to their mothers, but cannot.
In his sermon entitled. Mothers
Day 1944', DR.. Walker said in part:
Even at this late date there are
many Of us In the Christian min
istry who do not feel that we can
bless war. Our eyes have not been
blinded to the gnastly effects and
consequences Of war. We believes
that this war could have been avoid
ed and that when this holocaust is
over VT must and we can make GER
tain that there shall be no Third
World War. If men and women
could be persuaded that 1t Is as pa
triotic to sacrifice their narrow pre-
JUDGES, their outworn shibboleths,
their economic advantages to the
cause Of peace as 1t is to sacrifice
their sons and daughters to the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war, there
can be little question, a lasting
peace, at least among the great ma
tons, would not only be possible, 1t
would be almost inevitable.
But think we may leave some Of
the difficult problems and the issues
involved in peacemaking to some
other Sundey morning. Moreover
even If we refuse to bless war we
can bless the men and women in
volved in war. We can pray for
them, we can honor them, we can
make it our business to do every
thing within our power to show
our affection for them. To some
small measure at least we can enter
into their hardships and sacrifices.
We bear them on our hearts. If
we honor the men and women who
risk their lives and fortunes for the
same of the convictions we hold
dear, we honor also the mothers and
fathers who send them forth to the
fray. Little is said about the bur-
den of fear and axiety but we know
that the burden is there. The days
are evil and the trial is sore. God
forbid that anyone-eXcept those
directly involved should speak
lightheartedly Of the perils and
dangers Of these hours. The world
is in travail today and the mothers
of America, and mothers everywhere
in the world, are standing beside a
Cross on which humanity is being
crucified
I want to speak some words Of
comfort to mothers this morning. I
want them to know that their labors
have not been in vain. want them
to realize that such love and affec-

applause as they urged the unani-
nous approval of the resolution
pointing out that its adoption
would be proof of the majority Of
the states Republicans"
Opposition to the resolution came
about as result Of the contention by
two Of the delegates present that
such an adoption would be in con-
flict with that of the recent state
party convention which left Con-
necticut'S 16 national delegates I'M
pledged while indorsing Governor
Baldwin as a "favorite son" candi-
date for the presidency.
Among the speakers at the even
