Here and there a solitary light Showed the world wax still at rest; POWER OF MOTHERHOOD Words are {indeed weak things when used to express the value or to estimate the influence of a mother. Good or bad, St never dies, but lives on thorugh time and eternity. There jz an element of Divinity In a good mother, and she has a dignity that cannot be subdued; her presence is a benediction and her name a defense when tempted; and, in a bad mother the influence is just the opposite. Of an evil mother St might be said that her eye is beclouded with ungover- able passion, and it flashes with un- ‘sanctified fire; her example is a mil- dew and a basting; her name is a disgrace to her own and to following generations. One evil mother may ruin one child and that one child may grow up and destroy a hundred people; and that hundred may blast a thousand and the thousand @ million; and the in: fluence hike a wave of the sea, or like the current of the river, moves on Dlasting and destroying. While the world thrills with the rames of Marie Antoinette, Jose- Fhine, Joan of Arc, Maria Theresa and thousands of others who have wrought well for their nations and zor-humanity, yet it remembers and yepeats with shame, the names of Mary of England, Margaret of France Julia of Rome, and Elizabeth Patrov- ra of Russia, Those tn the second catalogue are known in history for their abominations; and their names and their spirits have cursed the world, z ‘Woman stands nearest to the gates of heaven or nearest to the door of hell, When adorned with Christian graces she reaches an elevation to which man can scarcely attain; and when she abandons herself te sin and degradation, she sinks lower than even man can plunge, Her influence wilt elther lift man up toward heav- en or cast him down toward hell. And in the exercise of mo‘herhand she has her higest, surest, and great- est opportunity—and this for good or evil; for weal or woe. 4 t Ete ; ees CP aL Bets ees cue LPN fe Rasa a cams | Mee Sie. 1 a Weare Se erty 3 ke ps. gO oe eae, Se tte: me mM ove thee | ae: & , Ck ee i ya | wm & gh) " 7 yiote ye BORE 1 5 "gs Ri} ry pe eee Bo tee" Spel» PW ee? ah a8 ANS BS eee: Vee RPS Cd LA Pea oe Jamea CL.

P. B FITEWATER, DD, Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago,) 1938, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for May 18 JESUS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE (Temperance Leason.) LESSON TEXT—Matthew 32·1-32, 32·40. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy hearts and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. The second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self (22:17-39). PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Teaching in the Temple JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus in the Temple INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Become a Good Citizen YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Who is a Good Citizen? In the previous parable, the responsibilities of the subjects of the kingdom were set before us in the light of the obligation to render to the householder the fruits of his vineyard. In this one the emphasis is placed upon the privileges and blessings of the king. Christ's kingdom is infinitely more than a system of laws and regulations to be obeyed. 1. The Marriage Feast (rv. 1-14). The benefits of the kingdom are set forth under the figure of marriage. The highest ideal of love and friendship known to the world is expressed in marriage. 1. The king's Invitation despised (vv. 1-7). The previous parable showed the attitude of the Jewish people toward the king up to the crucifixion. This one carries us beyond the cross, even to the present age of the Gentiles. The marriage feast which the king made for his son and to which he invited guests, represents the gracious offer of God to give joy and blessing to His creatures. This feast has been made in honor of his son, and is an exceeding rich one. The repeated invitations show God's earnestness in seeking to bless men. They not only neglected it, but made light of it and hurried on to their worldly business, showing their disregard for the salvation of their souls. Some did violence to the messengers of the king, even killing them. Primarily, this is a picture of the attitude of the Jews from Christ's crucifixion to the destruction of Jerusalem, but it has its counterpart in the present day. 2. The king's Invitation accepted (vv. 8-10). When those first Invited refused, the king sent his servants to others, for his table must be provided with guests. The Lord's table has been prepared at infinite cost. 3. The king inspecting the guests (vv. 11-14). As a result of this inspection, one was found without a wedding garment. Failure, therefore, to conform to the regulation of the foast was an insult to the king. The wedding garment provided for each one invited to the Lord's table is the righteousness of Christ. II. The Wonderful Wisdom of the King (vv. 15-22, 34-40). That which called forth this wisdom was the effort of the leaders to entrap Jesus. 1. The tribute money (vv. 15-22). The Herodians sought to test His loyalty to the Roman government; therefore, they came to him with the subtle question, "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?" For Christ to have answered "Yes" would have conveyed the impression of endorsement of the Roman government, and "No" would have brought him into conflict with the government, Christ's reply to this question is the final word on the Christian's relationship to civil government. 2. Concerning the resurrection (vv. 23-33). The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. To entrap Him they placed before Him a hypothetical case of a woman who had had seven husbands—as to whose wife she would be in the resurrection. The Scriptures make it clear that marriage is only for this life; that in the resurrection human beings will be as angels of God. 3. The great commandment in the law (vv. 34-40). (1) The first commandment (vv. 34-38). "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart." Supreme and undivided love to God is the first and great commandment. (2) The second commandment (vv. 39, 40). This is like the first, in that it centers in love. The measure of love to my neighbor is my self-love. 4. The question put by Christ (vv. 41-46). The mystery of Christ being the son of David and at the same time being David's Lord put to silence all those who had sought to embarrass Him. Our Prayers Our prayers are ships. We send them to no uncertain port. They are destined for the throne of grace; and while they take a cargo of supplications from us, they come back argosies laden with the riches of divine grace—Presbyterian of the South. Our Supreme Duty Our supreme duty is to give ourselves to Christ, and with ourselves all that we possess.—Bishop E. E. Hoss. "What Are The Causes of War?" James 3:13; 4:12. Sin is the cause of war, and selfishness is the essence of sin. It is a question of mine and thine. We like the Spirit of Abraham, "If you go to the right hand I will go to the left, and if you go to the left hand, I will go to the right; Let there be no division between me and thee because we are brethren." War is a moral decrease and the only cure is the blood of Jesus, fully applied. Selfishness shows itself in many ways between nations as between individuals. It may be a question of territory, money, honor, neither side being willing to go the second mile. the result is conflict. The lesson asks for wise man a man of wisdom and humility. One who weighs well his work. Our inner life determined the whole of life. Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. THOUGHTS Law binds but love fires. The cause of war is in men not in money. Law will not prevent war it takes love. If we would dam the stream, begin at the source. REV. C. M. HAWKINS, PASTOR J. L. GOODMAN, Reporter. Ragsdale.

Atchison churches have seemingly turned their faces toward Ok'ahoma, in a plea for leaders. It is understood that both Ebenezer and Mt. Olive have extended calls to Oklahoma ministers; Rev. Odem of Ardmore is expected at Mt. Olive, the 3rd Sunday in May. Services were well attended at Zion., from Sunday School through the evening worship. The Communion service was very impressive and all present witnessed a lasting impression We are glad to have Miss Eva Smith with the church. Rev. Lane presented his program at business meeting, Friday night; it was unanimously accepted and the clubs organized. Every captain seems eager to work and at once began his task. The Sunday School will go to Elwood Sunday May 11 for an outing. The B. Y. P. U. elected as its new president, Mrs. Daisy Holbert. Mrs. Holbert is well equal to the task, and we are looking for great things as a result of her leadership. The Mission President, Mrs. Mary Tate is putting forth every effort to strengthen the mission activities. Lincoln School is preparing for its annual "Lincoln Week," which will begin Monday. All of the Baptist Churches now have Pastors, which, we feel is a blessing to Atchison. Atchison is elated over the fact that the State S. S and B. Y. P. U. Conventions will meet in Atchison.

It might help if this wonderful demonstration, so masterly given, could be in every church. Bro. Riden's gift for talking combined with his saving grace, gave us plenty of food for thought. We hope to have him again soon. God can use men who are not afraid to speak the truth and stand by the truth. Bro. Riden ably demonstrated that he not only spoke the truth, but was able to stand up for it; he showed that crime never pays and that if we will keep to the right, we cannot go wrong. He is proving himself an asset to God and Humanity, Duet by Sisters Robbie and Lillie Mae Linley, was hea'u'fully rendered: "Mother My Own." Bro. Frank Stewart gave a solendid tk on "Mothers;" also did Bro. James Douglass; They were seemingly at their best. We are hoping these truths may be grafted into every heart and soul, as this old gain saying, the "sin-sick" world stood badly in need: instruction on how to honor and make the lives of our mothers happy, who next to Jesus Christ is God's greatest gift to man. Bro. Douglass is one of the few young men of this city who is giving his time, means, talent, and all that his Creator has blessed him with for the upbuilding of the kingdom. We are trusting he will go on until he has attained the heights of success in whatever work'God sees fit to have him do. Willing and Ready Group won finance banner.

Show them special blessings, For the task assign d Surely needs more courage Than one heart can find. Never man can vision, Only God can say What the crown of motherhood Calls for day by day. Sacrifices and giving, Patience, tender care, Love beyond all telling, Faith and hope and prayer. God bless mothers And keep them in His care— Your mother—my mother—d Mothers everywhere. —Katheine Edelman —Clipped by G. B. W. INTENSITY OF LOVE BY R. A. ADAMS In strains of ecstacy or accents mild, The birds may sing of deeds of high esteem. But none can choose a grander, nobler theme. Than is the love of mother for her child. We measure depths beneath and heights above— Depths of the ocean and the mount- tain's height— The girth of planets and the speed of light, But have no measure for a mother's love. If God should send an angel from above, Through all the universe to search and find The greatest and the best in human kind, He'd find it in a mother's deathless love. If men through all creation should be sent To choose the virtue worthy of all praise, Erect to such a "shaft," then would they raise To mother's love the highest monument. COURTESY. I am a little thing with a big meaning. I help everybody. I unlock doors, Open hearts, dispel prejudice. I create friendship and good-will. I Inspire respect and admiration. Everybody loves me. I bore nobody. I violate no law. I cost nothing. Many have praised me, none have condemned me. I am pleasing to those of high and The Negro Star-for the Good of the People I am useful every month of the da I AM COUNTESY. —Cited by C. B. W.
