Church, Points Out Ex- amples in His Sermon Is SPIRITUAL GUIDE | The services at the McCabe Meth- odist Episcopal church yesterday were of an unusual impressive and inspiring character. The morning service was devoted to the subject of Motherhood and the entire exercises centered around this lofty theme. The musi- cal program by the choir was most appropriate and was rendered with yard on, “Honor, Thy Mother,” was deeply appreciated by the Jarge con- gregation. The following is a brief outline of Dr, [Halfyard’s discourse: “Today is Mother’s Day, and it is a day of nationwide significance. Moth- er’s Day was originated by a woman and jit was very fitting that it should. have been so. Miss Anna Jarvis, the founder of the day, writing of her mother on whose memory the day had its beginning said: ‘ She was an old- fashioned mother, home and’ Sunday school were her chieg interests.’ The daughter on these words paid a noble tribute to her. mother’s ‘memory, and the need of this bond today is mothers of this type. We need mothiérs who love their homes, who care for their children,/and who are interested in @hings religious, “In the discussion of our subject it should be pointed. out that many of the great men of history have owed their success apd their greatness to their mother’s devotion and love. Of course there are exceptions to this truth. But it.can,be stated as a fact that cannot be controverted that the. men who have achieved most in life them the inspiration and the service of their mothers. The men who have succeeded in ‘business, in industry, in statecraft, in the field of invention and education have been the men who have been undergirded by their moth. er’s faith. In accord with this thougat one writer says, ‘that the life of no. edge that behind that Jife there is the sacrifice of a mother’ As illustra: tions of this truth the names of such Men as George Washington, (Henry Clay, Thomas Edison and.Henry ward Beegher might be mentioned. The greatness of these men, their leader- ship in the life of the nation, as well ag ‘their personal nobility ‘of heari and mind were due in large part to their mother’s inspiration and” coun- ‘sel., Her Great Influence. : “It must be also observed thatthe mother’s life and influence are a great moral and spiritual ‘force in hyman society. Mothers are the most potent people spiritually in the world. They mold’ huthan character. They shape the future of the nations. N is they who mold and train citizenship, While the school and the church are import- ant agencies in moral training there can ibe no doubt that the most: im- portant agency of a]l is the mother in the home. It ‘has been said that no man has eyery lived a right life who hag not been chastened by a woman's love, strengthened by her courage, and fuided by her discretion. It is, for ex- ample, upon the mother that the bur- den of the moral training of the chil- Mren largely falls. ‘Whether the chil- dren go out to be good citizens, living ‘for the best and highest things’ or whether they go out to hurt and to flestroy is determined largely by the home and mother, ‘Tell me,’ says one writer, ‘what a nation’s mothers are and I wil] tell you what the nation it- self is.” No nation can be great un’ less its mothers are noble and true. “For these things we honor mother. hood, and we honor,the mothers of|state. our land for their love. There is no love so tender .and so true as the mother’s Jove, ‘None makes such sac- rifices for the children and give them- selyes.in ‘such toil and service for them &s does the mother. Great, in- deed, ig the love of the mother’s heart. “One observation that should be} made ig that the mother should above all things live for Her home and her children. ‘The'home should %é made a bright and attractive spot and the so- celal. and spiritual well-being. of the children should be the one great aim of the*home-life. This is especially gssential at the present day when the moral influence of the home is waning. Two motherhood heatitudes have come under our notice which aré: ‘Blessed ig the mother who makes home the best place on carth,’ and ‘Blessed fs the mother who takes the chilfren in. to partnership.’ Did mothers do this they would have fewer sorrows and their joy would be increased a hundred- fold. “At the evening service a program of music, which was choice and beau- tiful, was rendered by, a choir of twelve voices. ‘Leading parts were taken-by Mrs. J. A. Larson, Mrs. H. 9. (Harris of Mandan, Mr, C. H. Schmeir- er and Mr. Wm. Noggle. The pastor spoke from the words of the ayostle, ‘Oold fast that which is good.’” Peru is celebrating the centénary of its independence from Spain. _ —_—— ‘ LOWER PRICES On Cleaning..and Pressing.

Vigren in The Fritz-Cross ; Service, St. Cloud, Minn.) ‘What about ‘North Dakota? Will the peeple ever recover financially? has the credit of its people been. for- ever destroyed Are they so hope- lessly; in debt that théy have nothing further-to pledge as security for ad- ditional loans? Those are questions that are hurled at anyone who has been in the state. Everyone outside of it seems mightily interested. So much ‘has'been written. and spoken about North Dakota that people are in a quandry as to what to believe.. The. writer of this article has traveled over all parts of the state during the greater part of the time since 1907, and feels that~lie’ knows something about it. He feels that the conflicting reports emanating from the different: political camps have left an erroneous opinion in the’ minds of out- siders, and for this reason takes his trusty typewriter in hand to tell what has been the result-of his observation. Immeiiately after the re-birth of the War Finance Corporation Mr. Meyers, its thairman, stated that North Da- kota was in better financial condiz tion than any other Northwestern Many were they who scoffed at this statement. For/some time the writer had been arguing that in spite of apparent financial’ tragedy, North ‘Dakota was sound, and of course was very. much pleased to have such an eminent authority as (Mr. Meyers syb- stantiate {his statements.

' \North Dakota is a statz that has in ‘the past depended almost entirely up- on-its crop as a source of revenue. It is true’that the western part of the state still retains som€ of the biggest live stock ranches north of Texas, but. comparatively few people are supported by this means. For a good many years-the tiller of the soil ad been the prime factor in the fi- nancial life of the’ state. ‘When the crop fails or is a light one, or the price is poor, it affects almost the entire population of North Dakota, and a good many people out- side, of it. For the past few years the crops as a whole have b2en poor, consejuent:y there was very little money to spend. Then the rise to ower of the Non-Patrisan League was the cause of the cessation of loan'ng within the state by outsiders. (The write? wishes it understcod that he is not taking sides with any po- litical palty, and if within this article any is montioned, it is because it is necessary in order to give a better unde®tanding of the whys and where- fores). Prices of everything the pe® ple did raise dropped to a level bo- low the cost of production, The hail warrants that the state had issued in settlement of loSses from that source could not be cashed unless at a high discount rate, so most of the suffer- ers held on to them.

The writer has seen countless statements which showed ‘that ‘the assets were from three to five times the lia- bilities. There is a mighty good rea- son, for this: The peopjlet of the state had for, the time being lost their credit; they were forced to pay cash for whatever they bought, and they could not borrow on what they had.! wile mist of the rest of thea coun- try was engaged in a regular orgy of spending berrowed money from price inflation, North Dakota sat tight and was hard up, It is very truo that cveryone is yet hard up for cash, and will be until areal crop is produced, but there are no great debts to pay up when that time comes. Why Banks Closed Several banks: were forced to close for the time being on account of de- pleted reserves. This feature of the financial condition in (North Dakota sesmed worse than in other states, or every time one closed wide pub- licity was given throughout the whole country. But the fact is that many close than North Dakota has. How- éver, the general opinion is that the state has seen its worst in this re- spect. Already a number of’ these closed banks have re-opened, and ar- rangements are being made for the reopening of several others. The people now are fully satisfied that it is mighty poor financial policy to place all their eggs in one basket, so instead of trying to raise one sort of crop, have turned to diversified production. ‘Last year millions of bushels of corn of marketable qual- ity.were produced, and many discov- cred that as a potato country the Flickertail State is in a class by it- self. Then too, the vast deposits of high grade coal are being developed very rapidly. ‘Where one mine was in operation before, now literally hun- dreds are doing a thriving business, North Dakota is —coming back stnong, and ye of little faith had bet- ait MARY LANDON BAKER to new low levels, andefeed was scarce and difficult to get. , Outlook was Gloomy , All these things combined ‘made tho outlook. gloomy~indeed:~ But in spite of this, the indebtedness is not great. (veryone did.the best hé could with what he had. Perhaps’ one of the saving features of ‘the whole situation was the fact .that Where other states experienced ‘inflated values in land, etc., North Dakota remained as it was in this respect. There was practically no money coming in from the products of the state, and none could pe bor- rowed for the reasons mentioned. Did everyone \shut up shop and leave? Were loans foreclosed when the bor- rower could not’ pay?’.No, People got along with less; ‘they -did. not spend a cent unless they could pro- duce, the actual. cash for settlement. The: banks instead. of forcing the cattleman to’ sell his stock at a price that would hardly pay the interest, renewed the loan and further helped him to find feed to take care of the animals. Seed jas provided for those who ‘had .none.’. This was not ddne once, but several times, until every- one, the faymers, the merchants, the bankers, began to’ feel that they had reached their limit.
