About twenty five hundred heard Rev Sunday deliver his first address in Muscatine yesterday afternoon. The sermon titled Motherhood praised mothers as the world’s builders and urged them to nurture children, denouncing idle men and urging reform. The speech commemorated Rev A Judson Kempton, who had recently died, and lamented his loss to local Christian leadership.
A preacher condemns moral compromise and needy church culture urging believers to know they are saved by living, not by labels or ceremonies. He mocks shallow church entertainments and stresses the church's saving mission over social events and education.
The sermon extols mothers, condemns absentee parenting, and urges women to nurture children at home. It praises a mother’s touch and lullabies, calls for stronger maternal role models, and notes widespread support for maternal improvement. The text also includes an advertisement for PAZO Ointment and a flour brand ending in Rowena.
