MINISTER PAYS
; HIGH TRIBUTE
! TO MOTHERS
\ ——
During the year we observe certain
holidays which are peculiar to the
church or to the nation, but today we
observe one which is universal in its
compass and beautiful in its thought.
We have our poets, artists, statesmen,
scientists, ministers and our mothers.
These are quoted and honored
throughout the world. We are proud
of the fact that our foreraothers of
America were hand-picked by God to
assist in laying the foundation of this
great government. The Christian
home is the sheet anchor of every
nation. Mother is the uncrowned
queen of that home. Her scepter is
love and patience; her breast our
resting place; her arms our refuge;
her kiss a solace in pain or sorrow;
her smile our inspiration, and her
blessing second only to God’s.
Mother is the greatest building con
tractor in the world. Men erect build
ings of wood, stone and steel, but
these decay, crumble and rust, while
mother’s building—character—remains
throughout eternity. Character is
that which lives within us, while rep
utation is man’s exterior. Men build
characters like they erect cathedrals—
finish them near the ground while
the spires remain incomplete.
Lord Shaftesbury said “Give me a
generation of Christian mothers and
I shall change the social world in
twelve months.” The mothers who do
not read, believe and practice the
teachings of Christ are not likely to
impart those characteristics unto their
children. A mother’s character must
ring true if her children are to be
upright and respected in the world.
Mothers give what they have, be these
good or bad qualities.
Sir Walter Scott’s mother possessed
a love for poetry and painting. Today
the world honors the mother through
. « ■ I
her son. Byron's mother had a vio
lent temper; so did her son. Nero’s
mother was a murderess; her son was
a murderer and tyrant. Washington’s
mother was known for her piety, pur
ity and truth; the world found these
traits in her honored som
Great buildings require much ma
terial to complete them, so the mother
will need every Christian trait if her
children are to be a credit to her and
useful in the world. When Greece
and Rome had mothers to train their
children they stood without a rival.
The pride of America is her mothers.
The citizens of tomorrow are in the
mould today. A mother trains her
son to be a leader, her daughter to
know the fine art of home-making—
an art nearly lost to America. A
mother receives her reward in the
lives her children live and the man
ner in which the world receives and
honors them. The world is judging
our mothers by our conduct. Are we
mindful of her many sacrifices, her
labor of love? Or does our life bring
her sorrow, anxiety and disgrace?
When President Garfield finished
his inaugural address he stopped and
kissed his mother. Let us honor her
by writing, caressing or thinking of her
loving deeds. Motherhood is the
choicest flower of earthly affection,
and most like the love of God.
"In all our wanderings to and fro,
From sunny climes to the land of
snow,
There's one dear heart that’s ever
near—
The prayers and love of mother
dear.”
—Excerpts of a Mother’s day sermon
preached by Rev. A. G. Shriver
of the Presbyterian church last
Sunday.

BELGIUM WANTS
HUNS FORCED
TO DISGORGE
LIEGE, May 1 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—Along the
route from devastated Louvain to this
desolate city tall smokeless chimneys
line the formerly prosperous valley
of the Meuse. Idle coal mines, huge
plants which belched fire and sizzled
with the gurgle of the melting lead
and the boiling steel are now silent
and abandoned. There is no outward
visible sign of devastation but a sup
erficial examination of the inside of
the plants reveals the fact that this
district has been stripped so thor
oughly and more systematically than
the line of battle where the cannon
roared for four years.
The Cockerill Manufacturing Com
pany employing 12,000 workmen; at
the small arms factory “Fabrique Na
tionale” 4,500 skilled workmen manu
factured revolvers and rifles, the in
vention of Browning of Texas; the
Ougnee-Mariez plant manufactured
steel machinery, locomotives and
presses, 14,000 hands having been em
ployed there. Now a few laborers
wander like lost souls in the vast
halls which seem immense because
of the removal by the Germans of all
the machinery formerly filling up
every available inch of floor space.
They are repairing the few dilapi
dated automobiles, machines and loco
motives the Germans left behind in
their deliberate retreat and in their
systematical plundering through four
years.
The managers ot tnese piams
where their machinery has been re
moved. They have the names of the
firms in the various cities of Germany
which are now manufacturing with
these stolen machines the products
that in a few months they will at
tempt to unload upon the world’s
markets. They are dissatisfied and
bitter in their comment because they
feel they have been neglected by the
peace conference. They feel Germany
should have been ordered to return at
once the stolen machinery or that
they should at least have been per
mitted to enter Germany and remove
them to their plants. They are not
short of steel. One of the former
manufacturers declared he had 2,000,
000 pounds of steel on hand, but no
machinery.
A manager of one plant expressed
himself as more than disillusioned:
“Times have changed since the arm
istice when Belgium was everywhere
cited as incarnating the very spirit
of patriotism and heroism, when
promises were made that fighting
would go on until Belgium should be
integrally restored, financially, econ
omically and politically. Your brave
American boys who came to Europe
and died with a smile thought to
avenge violated Belgium fighting des
perately for its own and the very
world’s freedom at the threshold of
civilization.”
PAGEANTON THE THAMES
IN HONOR OF MARINE
LONDON, May 16 (by Associated
Press).—With pageantry and music
London is planning to honor the war
work of the British mercantile ma
rine on July 19. There is to be a
procession on the Thames from Black
friars to Chelsea bridge, of hundreds
of merchant ships’ lifeboats decorated
with the colors of the various lines
represented and manned by sailors
who risked their lives during the war.
A newly-formed League for National
and Civic Ceremony is arranging the
celebration. The Thames embank
ment is- to be elaborately decorated.
LEFT HER FORTUNE
TO REBUILD CHURCHES;
PARIS, May 16 (by Associated !
Press).—Miss Boutet, who recently
died at Perpignan, at the age of 75,
has left her whole fortune to France
to be devoted to the work of rebuild
ing churches destroyed by the Ger
mans. The amount will exceed 500,
000 francs, or $100,000.

I Did you know that Goodrich Hi
Press” Boots are molded into ONE
SOLID PIECE of rubber?
That, in part, accounts for the fact
that this remarkable footwear gives
you just about TWICE THE SERV
ICE that comes with ordinary
boots.
And the Goodrich rubber is tougher
—won’t crack, peel or split.
We have a boot for every service.
The ankle-high Lehigh, the leather
top Driver, the knee-high Short or
White Hip are some of the leaders.
Why not wear the best? They cost
no more. You can tell them by the
Red line ’Round the top. Sold by
40,000 dealers.
