OF INTEREST IN THE

W. C. T. U. MEETING. i
The lovely apartment of Mrs. B. |
K. Carmichael, attractive with her
garden blooms and hospitable atmos
phere, combined to express a wel
come to the members of the Wo
manl.’s Christian Tempeiance Union
Friday of last week when she, Mrs.
Henry Byron, Mrs. T. A. Nutt and
Mis. Leila Spencer were hostesses.
Mrs. Byron was chairman of com
mittee who presented a program on
Mother’s Day and Child Welfare. A
suitable devotional was given 'by
Mrs. Spencer, using selected verses
giving the story of Hannah praying
for a son, and promising, if answer
ed, to give him to the Lord all his j
life. Samuel was given and in due j
time placed- in the temple for divine j
service. The unselfish vow was
kept holy. A noble example to
mothers of today who care so little
for children. j
The aim of the W. C. T. U. in
observing Mother’s Day has always
been to hold up the high standard
for motherhood as an incentive to
all mothers of every generation.
Mrs. Byron told of the Mother’s
Day message of the president’s
world’s W. C. T. U. to the repre
sentatives of 32 nations assembled
in convention last year in
holm, Sweden, who asked that they
not only abserve the day but have
their national papers issue a special
Mother’s Day editon. The observ- {
ance is rapidly spreading to other
countries.
Fraternal Mother’s Day greetings!
from Miss Anna Jarvis, founder of i
Mother’s Day, to the World’s W. C.
T. U. was read by Mrs. C. R. Gres
ham. Mi’s. R. B. Harrison told oi
Ca’vin Coolege, just after taking
oath of office as president' of the
United States went to stand for a
few moments with bowed head at
the grave of his mother, to rededi
cate himself to loyal, faithful service
to his country. This simple act
appealed to the great American pub
lic, who read of it in newspeapers
as fitting preparation for assum
ing the great office of chief execu
tive of the nation for in the heart
of every real man and woman
“Mother” stanuds for all that i.-;
high and holy.
The chairman in presenting the
Child Welfare part of the program
l-efered to the joint resolution of
both houses of Congress designating
May 1 as Child Health Day.. She
stressed important things that con
tribute to the finest development of
child life. Besides other good
things she stated that the 18th
amendment was said by leading men
and women to be the greatest child
welfare measure ever passed. The
Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union was organized for protection
to the home and childhood from the
ravages ot the liquor traffic. Fran
ces Willard’s favorite home for the
W. C. T. U. was “Organized Moth
er-love.”
In refering to the home, Mrs.
Byron stated that scientific research
leveals that much of Americas
crime is due to broken homes and
poverty stricken homes, and the
greatest contributing cause is bever
age alcohol. Instead of being a
victim of such conditions has a right
to have environment fr?se from con
ditions that tend to threaten nis
best development—homes that ex
emplify the beauty of Christian ideals
in home life. *
She closed with Theodore CuylerV
tribute to the home.
The Heme Rules the Nation
For one, I care little for the gov
ernment which presides at Washing
ton, in comparison with the govern
ment which rules the millions of
American homes. No administration
can seriously harm us if our home
life is pure, frugal, and godly. No
statesmanship or legislation can
save us, if once our homes become
the abode of ignorance or the nest
ling place of profligacy. The home
rules the nation. If the home is de
moralized it will ruin it. The real
seed-corn whence our republic sprang
was the Christian household of the
“Mayflower”; or that spirit which
set up the family altar of the Hol
lander and the Huguenot. All our
beat characters, best legislation, best
institutions, and best cnurch life
were cradled in those early homes.
They were the taproot of the repub
lic, and of the American churches.
—Theodore L. Cuyler.
