MATERNITY'S TRUST.

REv DR. PETERS MAKES A PLEA FOR OLD FAGi !!CMED MOTHERS.

Thousands of Untrained Children Bear Witnesn to Maternal Neglect—Home Is the Mightiest Institution—Duties of Parents—The Nation'? Need.

The subject of Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters' sermon on Sunday evening, Oct. 6, at the Bloomingdale church, New York, was "The Mother's Trust." Following is the gist of his discourse:

She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed.— Proverbs iii, 27, 38.

Most mothers need not be directed with the counsel of the text. But the many untrained children of rich and poor alike that are teen upon our streets

government of these children is in the hands of tho.se who taint their purity, blunt their manners and destroy their souls. These neglected little ones tell us that their mothers keep on in the old gay life, while they discharge their duty for an immortal life by proxy. I am speaking now of those who have the opportunity to do better.

An artist once said that he could not paint thefaco of a child, for it reminded him so imu'h of heaven. It is from the mother that tlie child receives the first secret impulse in the line of its eternal destiny. The mother's very life will go down into Hie child. How solemn is the Esther'8 trust, how fraught with eternal issues!

The Nation's Need.

Our nation needs virtuous citizens, and they must come from homes where Christian mothers keep watch. To the mothers God has committed the destiny of the world, and when we remember that in this land there are 4,000,000 of mothers with millions of infants to be molded by the mother's love the prayer rises from our hearts to heaven that God may bless the honest mothers of our land. The great element of power and surest hope for our country lies in the homes. Who are the illustrious among men today? They are those whose mothers were the good old fashioned women who believed that the home was the mightiest institution on earth. The vulgar, the criminal, the men of corrupt influences are the men whose mothers found the duties of home too commonplace and the Ten Commandments an inconvenience.

Many women of our time sigh for fame. They seek for their mission in the world outside the home, but there is no mission so holy as to make a home wherein God delights to dwell, wlierO the head of the house is re-enforced for tho duties of life and the children are so trained that they will rise up and call their mother blessed, ir

No "Moods."

Have no "moods" with your family cultivate by strict discipline a disengaged temper, that will always enable you to enter into your children's playfulness. Let there spring up a friendship between you and your children let them feel that you are their best friend. Lay aside your dignity and lead in your children's fun and frolic. You cannot afford to let your children grow up without weaving yourself into the memory of their golden ditys.

Norman McLeodsays: "Oh, sunshine of youth, let it shine on! Let love flow out fresh and full, unchecked by any rule but what love creates, and pour itself down without stint into the young heart. Make the days of boyhood happy, for other days of labor and sorrow must come, when the blessing of those dear eyes and clasping hands and sweet caresses will, next to the love of God, from whence they flow, save the man from losing faith in the human heart, help to deliver him from Yhe curse of selfishness and be an Eden in the evening when he is driven forth into the wilderness of life."

The best legacy that you can leave your children is the memory of a happy childhood. This will brighten the coming days when the children have gone out from the home, and wfll be a safeguard in times of temptation and a conscious help amid tl^e stern realities of life....

And just aword to you, fathers. You have duties too. However busy yon are, find a few moments at least every day to romp with your boy. The father who is too dignified to carry his boy pickback, or, like Luther, sing and dance with his children, or, like Chalmers, trundle the hoop, lacks not only one of the finest elements of greatness, but fails in one of his plainest duties to his children. One of the inalienable rights of your children is happiness at vour hands. Remember that the children belong as much to you as to your wife, and it is only just to her that the little time you are in the house you should relieve her of those cares that are her daily portion. -x

The Auto of the Apostles.

The purpose of the book called the Acts of the Apostles appears to be to

show how the religious system and company founded by Jesus Christ expanded after his death from a small Jewish nucleus at Jerusalem to worldwide dimensions and a univeisal scope, including all nationalities. With this thought as a clew to its meaning every incident and all its teachings have an orderly progression from beginning to end. Nothing needed to a clear understanding of this expansion of the Christian church to include the gentiles is omitted from the record. Its value for all ages is incalculable. But for it great difficulties, if not insuperable obstacles, Would be metin connecting the existing Christianity with theJestisof Nazareth.

LEXINGTON, Oct. 8.—A quaint old place is the village of Pleasant Hill, the home of the Shakers, overlooking the Kentucky river, twenty odd miles from Lexington, and just in sight of the famous "high bridge," on the Cincinnati Southern railway, known to every tourist traveling between the north and the south. The overland route from Lexington to Pleasant Hill is not much traveled in these days of 6team and electric conveyances, and comparatively few of th£ present generation know of its picturesque beauty.

It was my good fortune to be one of a merry party that started from the blue grass metropolis late one August afternoon to drive to the Shaker settlement by moonlight.

It was 10 o'clock when we drove up before tho "ouiuo building," where tho business affairs of the village are conducted and tho strangers within the gates are en-

we had succeeded in arousing good Brother Stephen, the landlord and postmaster, and Sister Jane, the matron.

The Shakers aro proverbially generous

Shaker settlements are grouped for con-^jpf venience into "families," about equally^i divided between men and women, each family occupying a separate house and be-^\£ ing governed by an eldor and an elderess. At Pleasant Hill there is a "center" fam-V ily and a family for each point of thes«T compass, tho relative locations of thejsfa houses suggesting tho designations of the,^$ several groups. There are two orders of?fe members—probationers and covenanters— novices and full members. In recent years the community has been seriously imposed upon by so called "winter Shakers," who, after a summer of improvidence, pretend &f', in the fall they want to join the society, live off these good people during the winter and abandon them with the opening of spring. As the Shaker religion is founded upon a celibate life, the society can only be recruited from without, and the membership is steadily decreasing in spite of occasional additions.

The men and women are models of industry, every man having at least one occupation, while the women are more especially charged with housekeeping, dairy management and indoor pursuits. Those who wish to marry aro privileged to do so, but they must withdraw from the community. The recruits have usually & been single men and women, although S married persons and their families have been known to "enter into union" and sunwndcr their marital and family relations.

From causes not entirely apparent on *, the surface the community at Pleasant Hill is not as prosperous as it was a generation ago. The members are growing old and dying out, acceptable recruits are not plentiful, much of the labor on the farms must be employed from the outside, and the financial results are not satisfactory. Several years ago 1,000 acres of land were sold to meet indebtedness and 4 provide additional working capital. An unfortunate patent fence transaction ten years agfc, in which two elders were induced to sign a document which afterward turned out to bo a seven year note for $10,000, has added to the burdens of the community. The note was not presented, even for the collection of interest, until the end of the seven years, after the two elders were dead. It is generally believed to have been a fraudulent transaction, but the Shakers were without conclusive testimony, and a suit on the note was decided against them, a judgment of upward of $15,000 being entered in tho United States court.

Tho present financial head and business manager is Dr. William Pcnnobaker, or "Dr. William," as he is known among tho brethren and sisters, a gentleman of fine character and a high order of intelligence. Bi-other Abraham, the "farm iileacon," or chief farmer for the community, is one of tho jolliest good follows to be met with in a day's travel. An interesting character is Brothor Larz, a Swede, surnamed .Ericson, who is chief broommaker, And who delights in expounding the Shaker gospol to visitors who ask him the story of his conversion.

Thcro wcro at last accounts 18 societies in existence, with a combined membership of 9,000.

With the decline in numbers the rellgious ceremonies at tho celebratod Shaker meeting house at Pleasant Hill have been discontinued except upon special occasions, and each family holds separate services in a large hall in the family house. In theso houses the men and women use different doors, stairways and entrances to the chapel and sit or stand apart during, religious services. J,

and hospitable, and the hotel conducted by them once enjoyed an extensive patronage from summer visitors. In recent years tliu Shaker community has not prospered and tho hotel has suffered in the general decline, so that tho "office family" now entertains visitors more as a matter of courtesy than as a business undertaking. I

According to tho rules and regulations for visitors, placarded in the great hallway, the Shakers carry their idea of celibacy to the point of requiring that husband and wife shall occupy separate apartments while guests of the Pleasant Hill hotel. Another of these published rules enjoins guests from taking more food on their plates than they aro likely to consume. Sister Jane's faro is so wholesome and appetizing that this latter injunction is in little dangor of being violated.

'«V

The Shaker settlement at Pleasant Hill was founded in 1805 by four apostles who left the parent body in tho east and landed at the site of this pretty village when it was part of a heavy woodland, in which deer and other game roamed at pleasure. 7 The Kentucky river country was thens#.sparsely settled, but the news of the strange doctrines taught by these four men quickly spread, and many there were .. who went to hear them and became converted to the new faith. The converts put what little property they had into the general stock, and the pioneer band went earnestly to work to carve a common homeout of the wilderness. They cleared the land, erected substantial houses of brick and stone, divided into families as theS^// community grew and added to their possessions until at one timo they owned 10,000 acres of the richest farming land in allf'{ ,j Kentucky.

,.Sf»

There are so many interesting phases of Shaker life that one might profitably spend weeks among these benevolent, intelligent and thrifty people studying their history, learning more of thoir manners and customs and attempting to solve the problem of the future of the remarkable society to which they belong. That the surviving believers may enjoy many more years peace, prosperity aiul oontontinent is ufefited'afiiS 'dBtetk of themei^pi
