Abilene Semi-Weekly Reporter (Newspaper) - May 7, 1912, Abilene, Texas VOLUME xxxi TEXAS MAY 7 im METHODIST CEI SUNDAY SO SERVICES Able anil Interesting 0 unit To Large null Attentive Audience ite Ahsen Weeks For the reason that he would be absent in a revival meeting for two weeks and would not be present next the regular time for Mothers Day Pastor A W Hall of the First Methodist on yes at service preach ed a Mothers Day sermon and had other interesting exercises along that line Tlie house was beautifully decorat ed with and after tiie sermon each man was invited lo some forward and get a flower and pin it on his mother or wife in honor of womanhood and motherhood and the scene was most affecting tosee the wen thus honoring their and wives present Thc Modern lodge was int in a body occupied front seats As a basis for his sermon Rev Hall read selections from the last ler of Proverbs Who can find a virtuous woman for her price is rubies Also the last chapter of Gejl esis the following And the Lord Goil snld it is not good that the mail should be alone I will make him helpmeet for him Continuing the reading from the first scripture quoted the preacher said this was the picture of wo virtuous the last depleted of the tnw sions of In part the as follows U want to talk to you about mother hen sphere her power her holy mission word far as am concerned touches deeply my heart and I shall not speak of her purely from a sen for I would not be able to talk to you too much along that line When searching for some thing along the line of my sermon 1 find in the on that subject Who was it woo started the cele bration of Mothers Day It wasnt a man as one suppose but a young woman Miss Jarvis ot Phila delphia Wonder how many knows the flower to be worn under this cus tom It is the white carnation While 1 could find so little on the subject in other books I went to the Bible and there I could find It The Lord God said it is not good for man to be alone so he made him a helpmeet In this lesson I wish to note a few fundamental things about woman A great deal Is said about womans place in the world and I will note this in the abstract as and wife What did Go put woman here for The scripture desig nates her place as a helpmeet to man God marked her for the mother hood of the race What place shall woman occupy In the world This is answered in history almost unifor as on a plane beneath man but in particular instances she is mads an object of adoration while the Bible puts her on an equality with man An Indian woman is you know about as good as the Indian mans dog and hardly so important as his pony Somebody sail that woman was the first to taste the cup of bondage Plato classed women and children as servants that pursuits the female sex were inferior to man Mahomet declared 1 have no i a calamity more hurtful to mati I then woman In Japan and China women are not allowed to worship In any or th temples Buddhist regarded women at most dangerous In 1905 an America A steamer In the neighborhood of tin Philippines saw a Philippine i wife and child in a boa at sea and put in lo rescu them The man put his boy out of dang first then his pig and started to out himself when the seamen sen him back and took Mrs Filipino next Iu India and Japan with a population of over half th world woman Is looked upon as a servant The greatest men for good or bad in history have had women of beauty o as a power the Itii not from this viewpoint that J f want to speak of her but of her pow el for good in the world from her sphere of motherhood The preacher took up the legal status of woman and said the single or unman ied woman occupied the same level as man but there It stop and the married woman is made lo the husband ill the mat ter of her own separate property the laws of this lie was m are worse in that respect those of any other stale It Is really surprising to see such lavs art he statute hooks of any state The place chosen for woman in the Bibli Is side by side with man Woman was made from a rib of a man hot made from bis but she should be strong minded but from Ms rib clone to his heart that man might love honor and respect her There is an idea expressed somo that looks upon man as a worm of the dust but I dont look with upon that idea of man God made man to look up and beyond o a higher anil nobler destiny Look about you at the greatness of the stars and the earth and yet they are not greater than the creation of man God maed them and then made man as the act of his life God made man to subdue the world reign over and have dominion over it ana all things therein do not believe God made this great world to graze cattle on and grow crops of va rious sorts but to raise men on When a mail builds a business house or a million dollar hotel he ex a business to be run therein commensurate with the cost and God would be guilty of folly it he created SATURDAY 110 SOT CERTAIN RETURNS FOR ONE OF WILSON IS Jersey Man Only

This puts woman on a plane for power and influence greater than I can picture to Physicians tell us to make strong men women and you have strong mothers in that respect The biography of all great

wish or what our moth ers home were Are you providing a Christian home for your children The of the Prodigal Son what does that mean The Prodigal Son when he came to himself as the Bi ble expressed it
