MOTHER'S DAY IS THEME OF SERMON Rev. G. M. Missirian Applauds “Greatest Person in the World” Rev. G. M. Missirian, pastor of the yesterday preached a special sermon on Mother’s sStanley Memorial church, Day, speaking, in part, as follows: The ‘Mother’s Day’ comes every human heart, because we all have had a mother. And ‘mother’ is one of the sweetest and most sacred names in the world. “When God wished to come as close ble to human soul, he was born message of very close to As Pos: - of a woman into our own nature, in the person of His Son, Jesus the Christ. He sanctified motherhood and through motherhood has secured re- demption for all the race. Some yvears ago Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, conceived the idea of honoring motherhood by having 2 ‘Mother's Day’ The second Sunday in May has been selected as expressive of the beautiful, fragrant life of springtime, and the white carnation is mother’s flower. Of all flowers this seems to be the most appropriate. Its color stands for purity; its form for beauty; its fragrance for love, and its lasting quality for faithfulness. These { are the attributes of motherhood. “Nearly all the great men and noble characters in the Bible and in history have had a good mother. The glory of 3 woman is not in her hair, or in her dress, or in her ornaments and jewelry, but in her well-born and well- trained children. “Woman has a right to vote and to do anything else that a man may, if she can function. She has a perfect right to earn her own living, whether in an office or digging in the field, or picking in a coal mine. Yet woman’s supreme function is in the home, of which she is the queen. The founda- tion of the sweet home life is mother- hood. And the greatest danger for any nation or community is the neg- lect and abuse of motherhood. The home and the nation stand or fall to- gether. “The following points deserve our serious meditation on this Mother's Da; “I.—Our mothers are entitled to the greatest love and honor that we can possibly express. The heart of moth- erhood 4s the highest and constant in- carnation of human devotional sacri- fiee. When all fails and all disap- points, still the mother’s heart re- mains true and faithful. Tt is the privilege as well as the most gentle- manly duty of all the sons and daugh- TONIGHT —8 P. M. TO 9 P.

It 1% { said that the first thing James A. Gar- field did after taking the oath of office ident of the United States Was is aged mother, and the na- tion loved him the better for doing so- Henry Drummond said, after the manner of St. Paul: ‘Love is the great- est thing in the world’ A true moth- er's love is next to the love of God in greatnel A father may turn his back upon his child; brothers and sis- f ters may become enemies; husbands may do away with their wives and the wives with their husbands; but a true mother Will never cease to love her child. Go for my wandering boy tonight; Go, search for him where you will; But bring him to me with all his blight And tell him I love him still” “Certainly there shall be less crime if boys and girls, men and women should live close to the hearts of their mothers. No respectable person can be tempted to commit a crime or shameful sin when he reflects on the purity and love of his mother. Tho more we think of our mothers, the better and the more Christian persons we are. And please do not wait to ! pay tributes until she passes aw. { Express vour sense of gratitude to our mother not only in providing comfort and good clothing for her, but Plainly telling her vour personal re- spect and love—because she Joves you as you are and not what you have. “IL—Mother is the heart of home and the hope of the nation. The father may be the head of his home, but certainly the mother is the heart. The character of 2 home depends more { on the influence of the mother than on anyone else. She is the center of | vitality, of endurance and of love. The greatest thing a child misses in this world is his own mother. The pathos iand tragedy of the great war were | manifold. But d@id it happen to vou that in countries like Serbia, Belgium, Poland and Armenia in particular, there were thousands and hundreds of thousands of little and innocent chil- dren who will possibly never be able to dry their tears because they have lost their mothers under horrible treatments. No, we cannot think of a true home without a mother. More- over, mother is the hope of the na- tion. ‘The hand that rocks the cradle greatness and the character of a na- tion is very largely dependent upon the greatness and character of its mothers. The foundations of a great many national institutions are laid on the altar at home, and it is the mother who shapes the future citizens. Sooner or later her care or neglect in training her children will come before the light of the world. Tt is certainly a de- plorable fact that during the recent vears, either on account of economic pressure or mere selfish motives, a great many mothers have denied to their children the tender education and practical discipline of a home life. Therefore, a great number, of children grow in the bad companionship and in the unhealthy atmosphere of the street mob. They are allowed to be- gin wrong and sometimes it becomes almost impossible to bring them into just and honest standards in life. It is highly important that the mothers should recognize and appreciate the vital part that they take in directing the national life and the life of the world. “IIL.—Mother is an essential factor in the life of the Christian church and for the salvation of the human nature. All mothers are good, but the Chris tian mother is the best. God's great- est. gift to any person is a never-failing { and ever-loving mother with a noble Christian character. One poet says: “‘The mother in her office holds the key of the soul, And she it is who stamps the coin of character And makes the being who would be 2 savage But for her gentle care, a Chr man.’ “We talk about reforms, good-will among men, peace and brotherhood. We have houses of correction and prison houses for those who disturb the peace and violate the law. are all good and necessary. But the greatl source and fundamental secret of all reform and welfare is at home, in the Christian character of the mother, who knows to take constant | care of her children in bringing them up in the fear of God and love of men. The very foundations of the Christian church and the universal Kingdom of God are at the Christian home. And the beautiful, sincere pravers of Christian mothers are the most power- ful means to transform the lives of men. Did you ever think how thousands of our boys were strength- | ened to keep & clean life and a brave ian heart <in the horrible trenches of France when they read the letters from their mothers with ‘God bless 1 you and keep you, my boy'? i ‘““The mother of St. Augustine prayed constantly for 30 vears for her son, who was sunk in the mires of im- morality. But at last she received the answer when Augustine, the great s { ner. was converted to be Augustine the Saint. “It is a great mistake to think that the Sunday school and church educa- tion alone is adequate to train the | children in Christian religion. Unless the Christian mother at home, by her deed and word takes a personal in- terest to impart the Christian prin- life of her children, the Sunday school and the church may fail. “It is the Christian mother's love that leads us to God. If the Chris- tian mother has such a wonderful heart and ever-sacrificing love, then how much more is the love of the One who has created the heart of a Chris- tian mother. “Do not fail in honoring and bless- | | i { of | and less shame and sin in the world | the | is the hand that rules the world.” The These | many | ciples and the ideals into the growing | 'PROHIBITION TALKS AT TRINITY CHURCH Rev. H. A. ook Tells of Dry Law | as It Is in Kansas Three eloquent speeches in cham- pionship of the cause of prohibition | were heard last cvening at the open | meeting which was held in Trinity Methodist church under the asupices of the Women's Christian Temperance union of this city. The first speaker was Rev. H A. odist church. | | | | He spoke of the e ! lent practical results of the prohi- bitory law which had passed in hiw‘} native state, Kansas, in May, 1881. | “The example of our state through { the stand it has taken has proved an inspiration,” he said. “Moreover, no | other law has been so vigorously en- | forced and more stringently enforced | in our state than in any other. The | sentiment has been contagious and has | proved an education in wholesomeness ! and an influence upon lives which | have heen exerting evil.” | The speaker said that the prohibi- tion crusade had been difficult of suc cessful fulfillment because of the e | prejudice against it and largely | cause it w ridiculed.. Iack of | operation among the people also nished a great barrier. Referring | again with pride to its accomplishment in Kansas, he declared that 600,000 of | the school children there had neve { secen a saloon and had been brought { up in an atmosphere which stood for | health and morality. 1 | “The law therc stands for wWhole- ; someness,” he said. Rev. Mr. Cook was enthusiastic in his tribute to the Women’s Christian Temperance union organization and the work it had undertaken in fur- thering the cause. “The women have been courageous, | persevering and faithful,” he said. “In the face of great difficulties they hav endured heroically and it has been proved that when women vete on { moral questions they vote on the right side.” He also spoke of the stand taken by members of every political party and said that all of the Protestant | churches had united in favor of the law. He declared that what the state | of Kansas could so successfully ac- | complish might be brought about in ! other states, and he hoped to see the law of prohibition soon established in | the state of Connecticut. H “The morals of the people rise with prohibition,” he said. “Prohibition | means success.” Rev. Henry W. Maier, pastor of the | First Congregational church, was the second speaker and said, in b “I rejoice in the success which has come to the temperance cause; the | victory over the liguor fraffic: and what a wonderful victory it is! So { we are now celcbrating the success of the allied army—but a success not fulfilled the day the armistice was signed. We must guard every avenue in order to see the fruits of victory. | As there will always be selfish people, | so there will be selfish nations.” Rev. Mr. Maier said that he hoped to see the ultimate establishment of ! the prohibitionary law by the first of | January, when it would become a fed- | i eral law if the president should re- scind the law of June 1. The measure | must be broug the votes of the majority of the people, and it | was his wish to see the Unlted States a prohibition territory. He said that there would be men who would try to | evade the Jaw for the sake of indulg- ing their appetities and through their own selfishness, but that did not make the law any the less necessary. He said that the people who started the movement had been looked upon as foolish enthusiasts, but now the crusade was becoming widespread and national honor was at stake. “We can and will make this a suc- | cess,”” he declared. “It will make the world a happier place for people to | live in. I congratulate every temper- | ance organization, T congratulate | every saloonkeeper and every habitue of the saloon that this thing has come about.” Mrs. Mary B. Wilson, who the state organizer of the campaign which } will be conducted this week for funds to carry on the work of the Women's Christian Union, was the third | speak i | She described the way in which the drug traffic had been crushed out in the foreign countries of China, and | Russia and asked if therc was any reason why a great cultured, and en- lightened nation like the United | States could not abolish the traffic of intoxicating liquors. She spoke of her faith in the share which the women would have in forcing the ' issue, and said that while the Women's Christian Temperance Union had labored for forty ye: with infinite toil and wisdom, it was her belief that this w merely first step in its march of progress. She spoke of the ways in which the | society had served in many lines of work, through legislation in every ! state, through published treaties re- garding the effects of alcohol on the human tem, through hools, through bolishment of liquor in canteen through a board of | missions which bad investigated con- | ditions in vessels lying in New York | Harbor: and through co-operation | with other organizations ' It was Mrs. Wilson’s belief that the | | great promise of prohinition lay in | the right education of childven, and | child welfare. his the part of | the women who watch: and by our watching and our weeping, we will | strive for success,” she said. She also spoke of the women in industry is a the center is ing your dear mother, whether dead or alive, and through her love, appre- ciate and acknowledge the infinite love in the Divine H 2 | 1§ I | { of the Austrian who needed protection, and of sani- tary conditions in industries which needed to be improved. Another great cause which the organization is championing is Americanization. “Not only must Americans be proud to uphold their own country, but we must g0 further in this work of Americanizing until every man, woman, and child in the country, thinks in the terms of America, and strives toward the realization of the highest human product. We must do our share toward world pro- Dibition, and other nations may be inspired to follow our lead.” In speaking of the campaign for the coming week, Mrs. Wilson said that $1,000,000 is the amount named for national subscription; $12,200 for Connecticut, and $2,000 for New Britain. The women of the society have been asked to contribute $5.00 apiece. At present 250 women enrolled in the local organization, and Mrs. Wilson hoped that that number would be at least doubled as new members would strengthen the or- ganization. “We never give, but what we are the better for giving,” she said. “We find growth in our sympathies and our love. This country will never be the leader in every good work with- out an intensity of purpose, and un- less we are working toward the same end. We are the most wondertul nation of the earth, and this we must are maintain through the common good of our own people.” Seated on the platform with the three speakers was Mrs. John C. Gil- chreest. president of the local Women's Christian Temperance Union. Music was furnished by the choir of the Trinity Methodist church, and the audience ined in the sing- ing of the *‘Jubilee,” the hymn of the W. C. T. U, and the final hymn, at the rvequest of Mrs. Wilson, was America. Contributions were given toward furthering the work of organization.
