By HALK EI BAXK8 Rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church THE Gospel begins and ends with the Christian home. At the outset we are Introduced to the Holy Family. The d votlonal thought ot the church sees in father, mother and child an Image ot the Holy Trinity. The best illustration ot the Godhead finds lis source in the household. Thus our earthly homes reflect heavenly realities. Human relationships become the symbol of the divine. The Interpretation ot Cod comes to us through the relation of parent and child and we learn to think of Him as our Father. For tbis reason the picture of the Holy Family took hold of the Imagination. The master painters sought to depict the scene. The Madonna and Child taxed the genius ot a Titian, a Raphael, Michael Angelo. As the curtain falls on the life of Jesus He places His bene diction on the home and in His dying moments makes provision for His Mother. This has touched the heart ot tbe world. It has written itself Indelibly on the consciousness of Christendom. Thus does the Gospel enthrone the mother. a ( a a a fJO power on earth equals the mother's love. It manifests Itself ' deep down In the animal kingdom. The mother seal In the Arctic waters knows her little ones among a thousand, singles them out and brings them food. The mother tiger in the Jungle is solid tous for her young. The mother swan on the lake rushes to defend her Brood . There is a touching scene In the drama of "Ben Hur," where the mother draws the family about her and cares not what disaster may be without If only her home is spared. That Is the spirit of mother, courting no sacrifice too great. St. Luke reveals the instinct of true motherhood when he adds to his description ot the childhood ot Jesus the statement that "Mary kept all these things and pondered them In her heart." She treasured up the childish sayings ot her boy just as a mother treasures baby's first words. I was visiting a home the other day and saw a "baby s book." There the mother chronicled each step in the progress of the child beginning with the baptism. The blessed Mary kept a baby a book in her heart. VJO one understands, the bald as the mother does. St. scribing the mirm jit Oana, relates how Mary wen to the servants and caygi Shem to give prompt heed t John de- went quickly to the re quest of Jesus. Whatsoever He saith unto you do It." She seemed to divine His purpose by intuition. She seemed to read His inmost intentions. While His program was not clear she was confident that her Son would Bolve their difficulty. Nor was her proud confidence disappointed. Pierre Lot! In his "Romance ot a Child," recalls a day when he lay sick In bed from some childish ailment. The door opened. "My mother came in smiling, bringing a bunch of hyacinths. Oh I can see her now as I saw her then in the doorway the expression in her eyes, the sound of her voice, the details of her dress. She bent over me and kissed me. 1 wanted nothing more not to cry, not to get up, not to go out. She was there. That was enough. "I feel there is something in my mother's face that death can not touch. My love for my mother has been the only unchanging love of my life so free from every material tie that it almost gives me confidence in the one Indestructible thing the soul, and I think that when I have done playing my little part in the world I shall go to rest somewhere welcomed by mother, who has led the way and the smile ot serene assurance she now wears will become the smile of triumphant knowledge." a a a a a THE mother's Influence is the most potent factor that plays on human life. We are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. Hear Lincoln declare: "I owe everything I am to my mother." Beecher lost his mother as a boy. All through his career he cherished tbe memory of her who left him when he was a tiny child "From her," he says, "I received my love ot the beautiful, from her my childlike faith in God, and if I speak what seems to some of you the rhapsody of woman it is because I had a mother. It I were to live a thousand years I could not express the least I owe to her." Coolidge took oath of office In a Vermont school house and went as his first act to stand for a moment at his mother's grave. Andre's bones were laid to rest beside his mother's grave in obedience to a wish be once expressed. rso matter where I may be found after death I wish to be buried alongside my mother. ' a a a a "yHEBE is a very significant passage in St. Paul where he traces the spiritual life of St. Timothy. He analyzes the factors that entered into his character and singles out tbe elements of greater force. Is there any significance in the omission of the father? He refers to the faith ot the grandmother and mother. Was it true in his day that men were sadly indifferent to the religious training of youth or was It a master stroke of the Apostle's pen to indicate the larger Influence of tbe mother in moulding the spiritual environ ment of the child? I would address the mothers everywhere today with a plea to uphold the highest standards of the home. The classic writer puts this sentiment on the lips of Ulysses: "Oh that I could see the smoke curling over my home in Itbica, then death would overtake mo happily. " This is pre-eminently an American sentiment. Anglo Saxons are lovers of the home. John Howard Payne amid the gaiety oi tne irencn capital turned fondly to a simple cottage at East Hampton and gave voice to words that struck a responsive chord in the popular heart, "Home, Sweet Home." This nation owes a debt to tbe New England farm and the frontier cabin whence came the men that molded the destinies ot the republic. They struggled with long, rigorous winters. They were strangers to steam heat. They had no public libraries. They knew hardship and the very limitations developed latent resources. From homes simple, humble, meagerly furnished came men who had learned self-reliance, endurance, rugged virtue. Whittier's "Snow Bound" presents the old type of home and Longfellow looks fondly back to It In his "Golden Milestone." a a a ' : AS we approach the Christmas season, the festival of the mother and Babe, let me suggest three councils of perfection. First let every head of a household look well to family worship. Religious education is primarily ot the home where the mind of the child, like the sensitive film on the photographer's plate catches the Im press of the slightest influence. Second In these days of financial stress and destitution we must see to it that families be kept to gether it Is well to direct our benevolence primarily to our own neighborhoods, maintaining homes that are threatened with dis integration. Third let us mark the birth of the Infant Jesus by a renewed Interest in child hood realizing that as we bring bright ness and cheer Into tbe dreary lives of these little ones we are serving the Baby Boy of Bethlehem.

WASHINGTON NKWS BEHIND THE NEWS a a a The Inalilo Story From Tho Cnpitnl a a a By PAUL MAIiLON Copyright 1935, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, Dec. S3. Mr. Garner, tho only working V. P., has been hobnobbing with Presi dent Ronsovelt and ring lenders of his congregational circus for several days. Their plans for the coming edition ot the greatest show on earth are yet Incom plete. But they have gone far enough to afford the Inner cli que a fair line on what to ex pect. Here it Is: a a BONIS A bonus bill will he enacted in February along the general lines of the Stolwor-liyrnes bill (Inflationary bills bnve no chance this time). What Mr. Hoosovolt will do about it has not yet been decided and is not Important. He probably will veto it, if so, it will pass over his veto. The whole bonus situation was canvassed by Garner, Speaker Joe Byrns. Senator Joe Robinson, Senator Jimmy Byrnes and oth ers on their Philippine Junket. They all came to the conclusion that the bonus would be passed, veto or no veto. This opinion has already been passed along to Mr. Roosevelt. a a NEUTRALITY The latest is that Mr. Roose velt is undecided whether to play the neutrality issue across the board in his opening message. or whether to let the issue come up from within the senate. He probably will play It. Auyway It will be a foremost issue. benators are drafting a new resolution which Is a combina tion ot senate joint resolution Nos. 99, 100 and 120. This is not satisfactory to Mr. Roose velt. They are trying to got to gether. The chances are they will not, and a fight will de velop. The conflict, however, is solely a matter of technicalities, a a a TOWXSEXD The Townsend plan will not pass. It will, however, be exten sively debated and investigated. This will advertise Its economic futility and probably offset the sledge-hammer political campaign wnicn has bumped many con gressmen lately. A tricky way may be found to let members of tbe house vote for the Mc Groarty bill with the understand ing that it will not go through the sen te. Mr. Roosevelt would veto It, but democratic leaders will not let it get that far, a a a CLEAX-UP The $500,000,000 public works program will be passed, after congressmen add a few more pet projects. Any reasonable request ior relief money will be adopted, bat only after an entertaining republican investigation . Into re lief operations. The Canadian treaty will be subjected to much fuss, but no action. Revision or repeal of the silver purchase act is a real probability, although it can be accomplished only over the prostrate forms of a coue of silver senators who are nearly prostrate now. Permanent estab lishment of tbe CCC will un doubtedly be voted over republi can protests. A few amendments to the securities and exchange act will be recommended and probably enacted to correct tech nical defects developed from ex periences with the present law. The railroad financing Investiga tion will furnish headlines and some recommendations for legis lation which will not be seriously considered before 1937. A com mittee to Investigate presidential campaign expenditures will be authorized and appointed. The Black thirty-hour week bill will be a major subject of discus sion, but the chances are strong ly against it being passed. a a XOTE OXE Influential republican con gressmen are planning a heavy fight against federal relief meth ods, on the basis of Mr. Hoov er's St. Louis speech. Some re strictions may be enacted, but not the Hoover program. a a a XOTE TWO The Canadian treaty trouble Is being worked out off-stage In an other way. Mr. Roosevelt Is se cretly sounding out Canada for modification of the Ottawa agree ment to open British lumber markets for American producers, Iso to stagger Canadian lumber importations on a monthly quota basis. a a HOUSIXG Senator Wagner has In hlB sleeve a new low cost housing bill. It will be Introduced under official or unofficial new deal uspices. but probably will not pass. The bill is supposed 10 ave originated with certain low cost housing promotion societies in New York and will suggest a ix, seven or eight billion dollar program, a a MOXEV Most important subject on the calendar is confirmation of the ew federal reserve board. Peo ple out in the country may not get smoked up about such ob scure public personalities as sit on the FRB, but these personal- SIDE G L A N C E S -b Gra ci. oiaM by ma atiwcr. iwq T. m. arc u. s. rr, of r V O v "V1 V "Oh, just a few little things I bought.

Inflation, etc. There has been so much In side wire-pulling over these jobs that it is impossible to say now who will be appointed, or oven re-appolutcd. But there will he a fundamental clash In tho sen ate, no matter who Is recom mended by the president. It wilt be evident shortly that the sen atorial confirmation of Governor Eccles himself will not be an easy matter. Note Senator Glass has not let It out yet, but he has written a sizzling two and n half-page letter to Governor Eccles, pro testing against the appointment of a certain man, whose name has merely been publicly men tioned among possible appointees, a a a ADJOURNMENT Daily new deal announcements that the session will be a short one are merely billboard adver tisements to promote brevity. No one really had a worthwhile idea about It. The unknown factor In the situation is what the su preme court will do to the new deal in coming decisions, and what corrective legislation. If any, will be necessary (AAA, TVA, Wagner labor board, etc.). This makes guessing the prob able adjournment date wholly a matter ot personal opinion. It you want a guess on that basis, it is that adjournment will come a few days before the republican convention meets at Cleveland June 9, and not April 1 or even May 1, as now being advertised. that the park officials will do rido there Is no need to keep the roads open, hectiuso It Is a great expense.
