Trade « a good town — Decatur mORE LOVE Anna Jarvu, who first suggested that one day each year be set aside and observed as Mother’s Day once wrote; t "The man who does not esteem some good woman as a mother is to be pitied, not only , because he has missed life’s crowning joy, the inspiration of a another’s love, but because his manhood has lost a gentleness and a sympathy and a reverence that ennobles in away nothing else does. A man without mother-love in his heart is next in isolation to a man without a country.” ■ Love for Mother is an ele- ■ mentary Christian virtue. To only one of the Ten Coms' mandments does God add a t promise: “Honor thy father and ; mother . . . that it may be well : with thee, and thou mayest live . long on the earth.” .

Special Mother Day Honor For Widow BEAVER DAM, Ind. fUPD-A 57-year-old widow who reared a family of 10 children and became a successful farmer in the process is being accorded special Mother’s Day honors. She is Mrs. Edith Ummel of Kosciusko County, whose husband died when she was 40 years old, leaving her with nine children to rear and a 10th one on the way. Her husband, Edward Ummel, had been a farmer and had made only one payment cm the 190-acres of ground where the family was living when the bread-earner died. But to Mrs. Ummel, the best hope for keeping her large brood together seemed to be on the farm, so there they stayed, with the older boys and girls helping with the work and care of the smaller children. Now her family is almost grown, with the oldest, Robert, working with his mother as a partner on their Walnut Peak farm, and the youngest. 16 yearold Phyllis, a junior at Beaver Dam High School. Indiana Rural News designated Mrs. Ummel, now a grandmother of 10 as well as mother of 10, as its "Mother of the Year” for 1959. In fact, shes "cover girl” on the current issue of the monthly farm magazine. The 190-acre farm now is entirely owned by the Ummels, with the payments long ago finished. While the farming is general, the Ummels have specialized in raising Holstein dairy’ cattie. The highest honor gained in this field was with Walnut Peak Queen, who won top honor' for lifetime production in India -? Holstein Association a wares trade earlier this year. But Mrs. Ummel is proudest of the family she reared on the Kosciusko County farm. In addition, to Robert and Phyllis, 18-year-old Max, a high school senior, live in the family home, a 16-room brick house. One son, the Rev. Richard Ummel, is a missionary stationed in Parana, Brazil. Eldon is assistant coach and teacher at Syracuse High School. Herbert, a dairy herd tester, lives at Wakarusa. Mrs. Carol Hines, Fort Wayne, is the wife of a city utility employe there. Mrs. Lois Knouff and her husband, Arlo. an engineer, reside at Warsaw. Mrs. Joan Kirkham and her husband, Wayne, live in Greencastle because of his job with International Business Machines Corp, there. The remaining boy is in military service. He is Stanley Ummel, now at Fort Hapchuca near Tucson, Ariz. Rural Churches JIM j-b?va|j U. B. RIVARRE CIRCUIT Huber Bakner, pastor Mt.

Fating My Sis * Lesson for May 10, 1959 «s^«om«y«aMM«wmaaa———J LAST WEEK something was said about David learning a hard lesson the hard way: namely that not even a king, an absolute monarch, is so highly placed that the law of God no longer concerns him. David lived in a time when in most kingdoms the king’s ■will was law. Even if what he did was wrong for most people, if he did it he couldn’t be Mfltflß’ wrong, for he was king. The brave * prophet Nathan tiJ brought David to fl his senses; he made him face his own sin. The Dr- Foreman whole story is there in n Samuel, and has often been told. We can learn much from it; for it shows one way in which we can do what we all hate to do and some people never can do: face our own sins and admit that they are sins and that we committed them. To Knew “You can’t carve rotten wood,” says an old Chinese proverb. And no prophet or preacher is going to get far making any one face his sins if the person involved has no notion of any difference between right and wrong. A conscience can be educated; but who can educate what isn’t there? Now David had a conscience; that is, he knew that some things are right and some are wrong. When Nathan told him that made-up story about the rich man and the poor man and the lamb, David was hot. The rich man wks wrong, David saw; very wrong, wrong enough to be executed on the spot. If David had reacted calmly to Nathan’s story—if his response had been something like, “Well, that’s a rich man for you,” or “After all, that poor man was relieved of an expensive luxury,” Nathan woukt have got nowhere with him. The first thing I need in order to face my sin, when that time comes, is to know, down in my bones, that sin Is real, that some things are right and others are wrong. If I think “right” and “wrong” are just emotional words, meaning no more than “I like it” and “I don’t like it,” then I shall never face my own sin, I shall never even know what is eating away my soul. To ImagiNO ‘ Another thing is needed before I can face my sin. I must be able to imagine what it is like to be sinned-against. When David got so angry about that story Nathan told him, he wasn’t angry about what happened to the rich man, though that would be a tragedy too. He was angry about the incident, because in his mind’s eye he could see exactly how the poor man felt. (Was this because David’s own father had been a sheep-herder?) Now no one up to that time had ever stolen a wife from David. He had done some wife-stealing even before the time of Bathsheba, but he had never seen the wrong in it. Wife-stealing was a recognised privilege of kings in those days. By a brilliant, inspired single thrust when David’s guard was down, that prophet made David see as it were in one flash what he had done to Uriah and to Bathsheba. Te Confess There is a step beyond seeing that I have sinned. This is admitting that I see it. But there are two ways of admitting one’s sin, whatever it may be. One is the “so what?” approach. “Tee, I did it, but it isn’t very bad . . . Yee, I admit it, but I couldn’t help it... I did it, but am I so much worse than a hundred other people t,.. Yes, I did it, but why not forget the whole thing, shall we?” This is not facing my sin at all. It Is only admitting an act without seeing what a sin it is. The other way of admitting sin is to feel < deep sense of shame before God and man too. It is to stop excusing and defending myself, it is to take sides (so to speak) with the prosecution, it is to see myself no longer fit to be a companion for God or men. If what I can feel about my sin can be expressed in the language of the 51st Psalm, then there can be some hope tor me. If I do not despise my sin, if I do not somehow share God’s feeling about it, the* I shall go on down and down. It is only when I see the pit into which I am falling, and see that it is a bottomless pit, that X am ready to ho reeCUOd. ®

CHRIST IN THE HOME ' Rev. J. R. Meadows The purifying power of Christianity in the home is the great reason for being 0 Christian. It is a well established fact that no city, no state or nation can be purer than its homes, and no homes can be absolutely pure and uplifting in its influence without having Christ as its center. The son and the daughter may be held by love and respect for the parents for a brief season, but unless the parents instill into the minds and hearts and the very fiber of their children and love for God as manifested in Jesus Christ, the sons and daughters are in danger of slipping from truth and purity and away into the world. Let us honor God and mother next Sunday by not only attending church services on Mothers Day but every Sunday in May. GAY’S MOBIL SERVICE 13th and Monroe St. Phone 3-3609 Decatur Lumber Co.
