Motherhood play an important part In every department of life, whether looked upon from the Individual, social or National standpoint. The herolo womanhood, which took passage on the Mayflower, representa woman In the Important relation aha has sustained to National life for generations. "The Biblical phrase, 'a mother In Israel.' ha become proverbial." Mr. Staub referred to nr. Theo I Cuylcr. Lincoln, and Pr. P. L. Moody as men who attributed their success to their mothers. He continued: "The mother's peculiar power and In fluence lie In her, spirit of sacrifice. Her relation to tha home Is a continued exhibition of sacrifice. In that respect her Influence is different from fath er's Influence. His example and pre cept may bo helpful in directing the path of his children, but the atmos phere of the home is created by moth er's silent but persistent influence, and It I that atmosphere which, after all. builds character." llama a Family Rleaaed. Pr. Cudllpp. speakina; at the Grace Methodist Church on- "My Mother and Tours." said laat night: "There Is a vast difference Dftween the msternat relation and tha relation of a mother. There Is a vast differ ence between the relation of a child to Its parent and the relation of the off spring to Its progenitor. There Is no such thing aa a child In the lower ani mal kingdom, neither does the mother relation obtain. These blessed and sa cred relations belong to the family life alone. "Hava we had great men? Then wa have had great mothers. Shall wa have great men? Then we muat bare great mothers. Have we had great poets? Then we have had loving mothers.

"Not long since I heard a woman speaker declare that a woman had just aa much right to drink and swear and smoke a a man. Surely such Is not the truth. By common consent, and In the vry nature of things, woman must b better than man.

If you fall us here we are In danger of succumbing to the 10.000 evils about us." Alas of atnre Human Mother. Pr.' Boyd, at the First Presbyterian Church last night, narrated many In stances bearing upon motherhood, and said: "The sacredness of motherhood Is due to the elements of love within it. The aim of nature In all the ascent of life was to produce a human mother, and with her came Into the world the bles sedness of patience, gentleness, love and self-sacrifice. Her love Is the pro founde.it Influence In human life; the sweetest experience of the human heart. It abides not only as a sacred memory, but as a compelling influ ence, and the best hours In which life strengthens Itself to endure and to become is under the memory of mother." Rev. Frank P. Flndley's sermon at the First I'nited Presbyterian Church. Sixth and Montgomery streets, last night was In part as follows: "Some of our fair women are evi dently repudiating motherhood and giv ing themselves over to a life of van ity and selfish pleasure, striking at the self-evident plan and purpose of th Almighty. No part of society can strike against God without Inflicting upon us National Injury. If the dear little child Is to be banished from the home to make place for cards, wine, theater parties, paint, poodle doajs and the fashions and follies of sin. the home la gone and the Nation may aa well prepare to meet the whirlwind.

Miss Pullman Is plotting the downfall of Hawaii be cause the authorities dared to spray her blooded spaniel. The cow Is re sponsible for the Chicago fire, the quacking of a goose for the defeat of the Roman legion, the crab for the fall of tho dikes of Holland, and It may be now the dos- and spray pump will oblit erate the Hawaiian Islands. "We expect to have a children's parade during the Rose Festival. Noth ing la more beautiful or harmonious than the combined sweetness ot little children and roses. As a state and Nation we have no asset equal to the children. "The Oregon Cat Club Is given to cat culture. We have sorrowful evidence that the breed of cats "ought to be greatly Improved, and we certainly need a committee to agitate and further this blessed cause of securing a reser vation In the line of march for tha aristocratic cat. This . should receive our patriotic support. Women ought at least to pay as much attention to the culture of children and roses as to the breeding of cats. Pogs and cats have their rights, hut many little children In our titles are poor, sick, hungry, diseased, homeless and friend less. These Jesus commanded us to shelter and bless."

WATER FRONT AS FEATURE 4eneral Beautifying of Dock and River Banks Is Plan Xow Being Worked Out by the Committees. Two great welcome arches, gaily decorated by day and Illuminated by night, will bo erected at the entrance to tli two Portland passenger depots for the Elks' National convention in July. They will cost 11000 each, and will form a part of the general deco rating scheme planned by tho Elks. Work will start early. In June, so they may be completed in advance of the other decorations. Many Elks will come to Portland a month In advance of the convention. Some will be here for the Rose Fes tival. It was Intended to have the arches ready to welcome Rose Fes tival visitors, but delay In shipping material probably will make this Im possible. Contracts for construction of the arches, as well as all the other deco rations, which will require an expen diture of nearly fno.000, have been let to a firm in St. Paul. A crew of men and several carloads of material are on the way. In addition to the arches, this firm also will build the magnifi cent court of honor, bounded by Sev enth.

The custom of Internal Bathing for keeping the intestines pure, clean and free from poisonous matter curing constipation, biliousness and the more serious diseases which they bring on has become so universally popular, and so scientifically correct In its applica tion, as to merit the most serious con sideration. Drugs for this purpose have proven that their doses must be constantly In creased to be effective, that they force Nature ' Instead of assisting her, and. once taken, must be continued. On the contrary, the scientifically constructed Internal Bath gently asalsts Nature, but is infinitely more thorough in its cleanliness than any drug, no matter -what its nature. The J. B. L.
