Mother's Day Moves Hearts of All Faiths Irvington Pastor Points to Importance of Heme to Children. BY THE REV. J. B. FERGUSON Pastor, Irvington Presbyterian Church In the calendar of that great faith which moves the hearts of us all, whatever be our historic approach to God, there is a day we all delight to remember. On this second Sunday of this holy month of May. by common consent we have Mother's Day. Many will find joy in repeating | Tennyson’s beautiful tribute to his mother when he makes the prince say as he tells of his princess: “There was one through whom I loved her. one Not learned, save In gracious Household ways. No angel, but a dearer being, all dipt In angel Instincts, breathing paradise. Interpreter between the gods and men, who looked. All native to her place, and yet on tiptoe Seemed to touch upon a sphere too gross to tread, And all male minds perforce girdled her with music. Happy he with such a mother; faith In woman kind Beats in his soul, and trust in all things high And holy come easy unto him. 1 ’ Do Not Seek Praise These mothers of ours, however, are not seeking praise. It worries them to go to a “Mother’s Day service,” for say they, "we are all unworthy of this.” They would rather on this day have praised the home which inculcates right and good in the heart of children; they would like best of all to take hands with father and join with their children in making a better world. Paul wrote to a young friend very interesting words: “I thank God when I remember the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in the grandmother Lois, thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded in thee also.” This is a picture of the famil/ where the women folk have furnished the impetus for goodness. How much of idealism and faith in God is deeply set in the heart of little children by mothers we can never tell. John Hutton, perhaps the outstanding religious journalist in the world, cnce declared that he had received his essential Christian faith by the time he was six years old. Memory of Mother Returns A man of our times has related impressions that came to him while walking across a field in France one Sunday evening. Lonely and depressed, agnostic in mind and indifferent in heart, he heard church bells ring far away. He declared he was lifted out of himself; he felt the presence of his home; the ideals of his mother and father, always associated with Sunday and tied up with religion and the church, came sweeping over his soul. Mothers and fathers of today can not absolve themselves from the education of their children in real religion by sending them to Sunday school. The home with religion exemplified in parents and most certainly in the mother, must ever be the ultimate school of goodness for a child. We shall do well to recall those fine lines written many years ago by Walter Rauschenbusch: "The family is the structural cell of the social organism; in it lives the power of propagation and renewal of life. It is the foundation of morality, the chief educational institution and the source of nearly all real contentment among men. To create the maximum number of happy families might well be considered the end of all statesmanship.” Early Impressions Important There is a wise old proverb: Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Every proverb is subject to exceptions, but the rule remains true forever. Pa il was very careful in his words. Timothy received a great inheritance from his mother and from his grandmother, but still he may have squandered it. There are mothers today who feel failure when they have no right to be discouraged. They have done their best. But if they have not sought to impress their children with the grace and power of God, there is a burden resting on their souls. We cannot forget what Horace Bushnell wrote about the family. He quotes the prophet: “The children gather wood and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to pour out. drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” Family Life United The family is united in religious life. “If the father is intemperate the children must go on errands to procure his supplies, lose the shame that might be their safety; if the mother is a scandal monger she will make her children spies and eavesdroppers; if she is ambitious that her children should excel in the display of finery and fashion, they must wear the show and grow up in the midst of it.” There is certainly a logical expectation in those families where parents are God-fearing and sincere, The prayers of our mothers, who on this Sunday, stand forth as our saints, are remembered with all that tenderness that enters into an act of real worship. We do not forget the time when we had only our mother’s care. “The baby has no .skies But mother's eyes: Nor any God above But mother's love. His angel sees the Father’s face. But he. the mother's, full of grace: And yet the heavenly Kingdom is of such as this. 1 ’ Girls' Federation to Honor Ten Mothers Special honor, in observance of Mother’s Day, is to be paid 10 class mothers tomorrow by the Third Christian Church Girls’ Federation.
