Hill has raised over $1,300 in cash, and he seems to have a special ability in this line that would do credit to the big evangelists of the day. There was hardly a seat vacant at the services last night. His sermon, which was delivered in and earnest and impressive manner, was for the most part devoted to the duties of children to parents, and the necessity of parents bringing up their children to respect them, and the only way was to instill in them a love for God and the Saviour of the world. A child who has the proper religious training will at all times love and respect its parents. The speaker said that the best plan was for the child to grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord in the church fold. He reiterated that example meant much in making home what it should be. The mother was the real home-maker and gave the home its atmosphere. Mothers spent their lives looking after the physical welfare of children and neglected their spiritual uplift. The children were told to scatter their flowers along life's pathway of their parents and not be forced to put so many on the casket.
