RECREANT WOMMS
LASHED BY OR. BOYD
"Greatest Failure of Modern
Civilization," Charge.
HOME IS HELD NEGLECTED
Refusal to Assume Responsibilities
of Parenthood Is Declared.
Gravest of Wrongs.
Tender meditations upon Idealized
motherhood were foregone yesterday
morning in the Mothers' day ad
dress of Rev. John U. Boyd, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, who
verbally applied whip, lash, knout and
thong to the young- ' women of the
present generation who, he said, repre
sented the most exquisite biological
product of the evolutionary process
and the finest flower of ages of civ
ilization, and were thwarting the laws
of all eternity by evading the responsi
bilities of parenthood.
Comparisons were drawn by the
pastor between the higher types of
womanhood who arc refusing home life
to wage reform In the Industrial world.
and the lower type, which is bringing
forth a generation of atrophied souls
and benumbed morals. His point was
Illustrated by the care of Ruth Garri
son, the 18-year-old girl who recently
featured in a Seattle murder trial, and
the Lewis boys, 16 and 21 years of age,
who figured in the Clarke county bank
robbery, whose moral and spiritual
natures, he said, had never been awak
ened and whose finer sensibilities had
been stifled.
Child Without Honor FerU.
"The possibilities of crime in vitiated
character are old stories," said Dr.
Boyd, "but that children should com
mit heartless crimes that require a
mentality full of cunning is something
new in the world. Here we have
concrete illustration of this law of
neglect. When a child nature can be
come so neglected that it is without
honor, then it is time for us to stop
and investigate such conditions.
"This is Mothers' day, when we cele
brate that influence which is the pro
foundest, the strongest and the
most delicate. We can all eit
under the tender touches of memory
and recall the influences which
prepared our own young lives for the
combat with the dangers of life. Today
the schools and the juvenile courts
have had to take the responsibilities
which have heretofore remained within
the home. Business may be corrupt
and politics may be corrupt, but they
may be reformed. A home defiled and
a childhood corrupted is a civilization
destroyed.
Modern Woman Held Failure.
"The modern woman, the woman of
education and refinement, is the great
est failure of modern civilization. In
stead of reforming the home, she is
seeking to reform industry, politics
and everything else that has little need
of her.
"The men and women of today seem
to have declared that the processes of
mentality and affection shall be thwart
ed; that these, golden values of endless
years shall be waited. Unles'they turn
to that which is best home and parent
hoodthen shall the essence of human
life have been lost."
MORAL VALVE REAL MEASURE
Rev. E. II. Pence Tells or Method
of Appraising Men.
"Tou cannot measure a man, that
lttle pigmy of man, by the number of
pounds he weighs or the ounces of his
brain,"- said Rev. E. II. Pence of the
Westminster Presbyterian church yes
terday morning in his sermon thought
on "Babes, Stars and Men." He con
tinued: "Man must be measured by the moral
value he gets out of life and puts into
life, his hopes and aspirations to live
forever. Don't estimate him by com
paring him. with that mountain over
there. 'Man is but a reed blown hither
and thither by the wind, but he is a
reed that thinks. The human mind
cannot conceive the vastness of the
solar system. Man is conceivably little
as compared with the vastness of ma
terial things. Man has done wonders.
He can do more. But he must grow
toward his God. One way of finding
him is looking at him through the eyes
of a child.
"Today is Mothers' day. Isjvonder if
you mothers sitting before me this
morning and all who are not here real
ize the great responsibility of mother
hood? It is a grave and deadly respon
sibility. To me it is sad and melan
choly. The nurture of the child is
most vital. The attention given in
childhood means the man or woman of
the future. If the mother is indiffer
ent to her child's Innocence, trust or
reverence, there is no word in the
English language which fits her case.
feho is a monstrosity, I would say."

When Call of Motherhood Is Fait.
Ot all tha most vital times In a woman'i
life the cominj of baby ie fraught with th
trreatest meanlnr Care should b exercised
to insure that too crisis is passed in safety.
Apprehension Is avoided by the timely
use of Mother's Friend, a preparation of
penetra:inr oils and medicinal tnsredienta,
which renders the muscles, cords, tendons
nd ligaments pliable, and thus tension Is
avoided. The usual nervousness, nausea,
bearing-down and stretching pains are coun
teracted and the period Is one of calm re
pose.
The broad, flat abdominal muscles relax
with ease, and when baby comes the time
at the crisis is 'csa and pain and danger is
. voided.
Thousands of women for half & century
have used this penetrating external applica
tion, prepared especially or expectant moth
ers, and every woman awaiting the crisis
fchould glva -n.it tire a, helping1 hand.

morning. In his sermon on "Mothers 1
to Whom the World Owes a. Star of
Gold.'t. Dr. Short said.
"Under the blessing of Christianity,
the one great factor that is doing most
for the uplift of humankind is mother
hood. Nations might forget their once
great men and survive, but no man
merits the privileges of life who for
gets his mother. The shrine of mother
hood should be kept fragrant with the
flowers of devotion and loyalty to the
best things for which they stood; they
should remain the centers of love and
consideration; they should be abundant
in inspirations that point out to us the
paths that lead to the heights of honer
through the fellowship of service.
"Motherhood has left its lasting im
print upon life through four important
channels of expression: Social service,
patriotic devotion, home making and
christian example. Life's activities are
bulging with the helpfulness that has
come from her work in the Red Cross,
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and other kindred institutions:
she has always proved her loyalty to
her country and though husbands and
sons have suffered and fallen In bat
tlese on land and sea, she has even
suffered more than they in the quiet
loneliness of home mo- rnins their ab
sence. "Motherhood has ever signified home
making; the home is mother's throne
of glory, though some may look upon it
as a place of degrading service; this
is a real mother's laboratory wherein
comforts are dispensed, children are
born, men developed and the great
movements of the woxld initiated.
Homemaking is the art supreme of
motherhood, a distinctive accomplish
ment and an opportunity of wonderful
range and power. I wish we had more
mothers with the old-time devotion to
their families; they might not be re
quired to express that devotion in just
the same way that our mothers did,
but devotion would enrich and ennoble
every life that it touched; that devo
tion would eliminate many of our dl-
vorce fiascos; it would produce a bet
ter generation, and its recognition by
the unmarried would insure greater
care In the selection of life's compan
ions. "The old-time mother, the mother
that benefited her children most, was
the Christian mother; the mother that
hugged and crooned and sang to sleep
her baby and regarded it as a trust
from God rather than infringement
upon her privileges for having a good
time. This old-time mother lived to
love and loved to live and to pour out
her own life freely that others might
profit by her sacrifice; these are the
mothers whose sons went forth to fight
and die for the larger freedom of the
world and they are the mothers to
whom the world owes a star of gold." -
ALL TRIUMPH DUE TO MOTHER
Pastor Pays Tribute to "America's
Xoblest and Best."
A special feature of the mothers' day
programme at the East Side Christian
church yesterday morning was the
reading by Miss Jessie Lynne Sawyer
as a prelude, to the sermon, of Eben E.
Rexford's poem. "When Mother Went
Away." Miss Sawyer is an exceptional
reader and the selection was especially
appropriate. A souvenir pamphlet con
taining an original poem by Rev. R. H.
Sawyer was distributed to members of
the congregation.
In his sermon on "America's Moth
ers" the pastor said:
'America is upheld today before the
nations of the earth as having accom
plished that which had never before
been attempted or considered possible.
Honors have been heaped upon our
president, upon the officers of our
army and navy, and decorations have
been given to our brave soldiers, but
I wonder if the world has not forgot
ten to pay "honor to whom honor is
due, tribute to whom tribute is due.'
for it must be clear to the thinking
mind that America is- the greatest na
tion on earth today because America
has the noblest and best of mothers.
"Mothers of other nations have suf
fered and died during the past four
years of horror, but the mothers of
America have lived, treasuring in their
hearts, like Mary, the mother of Jesus.
me strange sweet promise or God, liv
ing to produce 'worthy sons, ready in
the day of crisis to go forth upon the
task assigned them.
"Our hearts thrill with pardonable
pride as we hear of the deeds of the
invincible American army at Chateau
Thierry, Cantigny and that earthly
hell, the Argonne forest a pure, clean
manhood facing death in a manner that
caused the warriors of the world to
gasp with astonishment; but I wonder
lr we realize that the victory of the
Argonne was the result of battles
fought and won when our American
heroes were Infants in their mothers'
arms.
"Honors for our political and mill.

our heroes living and dead but crowns
of glory and whispers of undying love

the world's greatest conflicts the
mothers of America's men."

one century been so saturated with
these false "isms" as the present one.
This in itself is a striking fulfillment
of these words of Jesus to His disci
ples while answering their uucstlun:
'What shall be the sign of thy com
ing, and of the end of the world?'
(Matt. xxiv:3). That throngs of seem
ingly bright men and women should be
deceived by these teachings is not
strange when we remember the words
of Christ (Matt. xxiv:S): 'For many
shall come in my name.
and shall
deceive many.
Satan has always worked out his
diabolical plans for the destruction of
mankind through deception. Through
six thousand years of experience in
thls art he has learned that men are

this is true of those who are under the
direct Inspiration of superior beings,
rood or evil, it la true in a more re-
stricted sense that consecrated teach-
era of divine truth may be regarded as
God's prophets; and teachers of error
may properly be called false prophets.
True and false prophets may be known
and should be known by the student
of the Scriptures.
"The prophets of God are teachers of
purity, reprovers of sin. and faithful
in warning the people of comins dan-
gers. The duties of those whom God
calls to speak in His great name are
clearly expressed by the sacred writ-
ers (Isa. lviti:l, 12, 13; Joel U:l; 3 Tim.
lv:l, 2). False prophets do not reprove
the people for their sins, and do not
warn them ot coming danger; but they
proclaim peace to the sinner. Their
teachings lead from God and his word,
and are such as please the unconverted
mind. The Inspired writers have also they are now, urge with an tneir "Ui

After stating the duty or the faith-

to reprove, to rebuke, and exhort with
all long suffering and doctrine, tho
apostle says: 'For the time will come

even dare to teach that the moral codo

course, and of such teaching, we seo in
the professed church of Jesus Christ,
that iniquity abounds even a Jesus

"The most striking fulfillment of the
words of our text is found In many of
the modern 'isms' such as Spiritual
ism. Mormanism. Kddyism, and Rus
sellism. all of which are built upon
fundamentals entirely foreign to the
Inspired word of God, the only true
guide for the Christian. Here the
evangelist cited a number of teachings

in part:

nnothcr Spiritualist work we find the
following: 'The being called God exists
.organically, in the form ot the being
called man.
And attain, "Man is God's embodiment
his highest, divincst outer elaboration.
Ood, then, is man, and man is God."
The Educator, pp. 303, 5:6. One is re
minded through thse quotations of the "
words ot Paul: "Who changed the truth
of God into a lie. and worshiped and -served
the creature more than the Crc-
ator." Romans t:25.
In the earlier days of Spiritualism
the spirits taught concerning Christ as
follows: "What is the meaning of the
word Christ? 'Tis not. as is srenerally .
supposed, the son of the Creator of all
things. Any Just and perfect being is
Christ. The crucifixion of Christ is
nothins more than the crucifixion of
the spirit, which all have to contend
with before becoming perfect and right
eous. The miraculous conception of
Christ is merely a fabulous tale."
Spiritual Telegraph, No. 37. Again in .
Banner of Light. October 9, 1886, we
read: "No; spirits generally . . . do not
accept the theory of the divinity of
esu Christ; they do not believe that
he was crucified for mankind. In the
accepted understanding of that term."
Thus it may be seen that this teaching
called Spiritualism beside repudiating
the teaching of the Bible regarding
man's unconsciousness in death (Eccle
slastes ix:5, 6, Psalms cxlvi:4) forsakes
the Christian teaching of the scriptures
