MOTHER'S DAY AT
MEFHOM^CKCH
Sermon Preached  by  Pastor, Rev. G. A. Lohnes,
Sunday, May 13th.
 _t_ \
The following "Mother's'Day" sermon was preached last Sunday morning by Rev. C. A. Lohnes", pastor of;
the Methodist church and( will be in-.
teresting to many of our readers wkoj
•were not permitted to attend church:
Subject, "Mother's Religion in a
Five Room Home."
Text, "Col. 3:23, "And whatsoever
ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord,
and not unto men."
"True religion will transform the
lives of the individuals in the home.
Family religion must thrive in our
homes, or there will be a decline in
the moral and spiritual life in our
community.
"First—The grace of God is needed
in the kitchen. The position of this
room means hard continous work,
three times a day, seven days in the
week, and all the year with no vacation. It may yield a profitable discipline. Here, Mother's patience
shines forth, moulding other lives.
Here, endurance attains its growth,
and much happiness of the home depends on work done here. Here
physical strength is sustained, and
the mind is cheered for the daily duties. "'May the task be done "heartily
as to the Lord."
; Second—the grace of God is needed
in the dining room, "Whether therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye
do, do all to the glory of God."
After giving thanks, Jesus brake
the loaves and fed the multitude. True
•politeness warrants the expression of
thankfulness for favors from others.
Some people accept food from the
Giver of every good, with no acknowledgement of thanks to him.
Here the hard labors of Mother
should receive a kind word of approval with thanks and gratitude. Don't
grumble and complain and grieve your
Mother's heart.
The conversation will hinder or aid
digestion. Let Christian love overflow with pleasing remarks. Let
smiles- and gladness cheer every heart
remembering that "Christ is the silent listener to every conversation."
Thirdly—The grace of God Is needed in the bed room; the roomvof meditation,* rest and prayer. Here each
one is alone from the rest of the
world. It is here that many tears
are shed on account of loneliness,
disppolntment and losses. Tears
of repentance and sorrow for wrongdoing. Tears of joy and victory.
Here are spent sleepless hours, and
the conscience is troubled. It is here
that Mother reads the previous bible
and teaches us our first prayer, "Now
I lay me down to sleep." Here our
souls are tested. Oh! how much we
need our Heavenly Father.
Fourthly—The grace of God is needed In the living room. " Be kindly
affectionate one to'another with brotherly love in honor preferring one another.
Here is where Mother gathers about
her the children and love shines forth,
and many delightful experiences linger for years in the memory. Here is
erected the family-alter and worship of
God. The children are . taught the
. story of Jesus and His love. If the
Worship of God is neglected children
soon become indifferent to Divine
authority. "Them that honor me 1
■ will honor." 1 Sam. 2. 30.
Fifthly—The grace of God is needed
in the reception or social room. "Use
hospitality one to another without
grudging." Here is where the life of
the home touches other lives.
What as been taught will0 be lived
opt.     If one has musical talents it is
here they are developed.     The character of the music and the songs sung
is a very serious matter.     The sacred
hymns that mother sing have a tremendous influence over others.
1    A wise selection of companions is
.necessary.     Children quickly imitate
older people.     Everybody profits   in
._; some way by a happy religious com-
' panionshlp.    Let us remember to use
good language in the home.     Let us
yield our hearts and lives to .our Mother's. God and serve Him.    The Christian home makes a happy people.

CITY FIREMEN
GIVEN BIG TREAT
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Doherty
Tender Sumptuous  Supper to the  Boys. Monday Evening.
KEYS TO HOME TURNED
OVER TO DEPARTMENT
In response to an urgent request
from Mr. and Mrs, J. E. Doherty, the
city firemen drove to their home oh
Monday evening, where they found
a long table groaning, under the weight
of good things to eat., The keys of
the home were promptly turned over
to the chief of the department, who
was told the one for the refrigerator,
the "still" in the cellar, the key that
wasn't "still," the dining room, in fact
every room was open for their entertainment.      '
The first and the one that appealed
to the boys most was the dining room,
where everything good to eat greeted
their eyes. They took their time
from the start and even called for
"resting periods," but when they
had gone the limit, more was brought
to the table and they were finally
forced to submit to the limit of the
inner man.
The key to the cigar box was then
sought and fit perfectly, opening the
cover to a generous supply which was
freely used throughout the evening.
The doors of the parlor were thrown
open and the men were led therein
where they most enjoyably spent the
evening in cards and music.
Before leaving the firemen gave a
rising vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs.
Doherty for their generous hospitality
afterwhich Mr, Doherty responded
with many complimentary remarks to
the department for the work done
during the past several months in
keeping the fire loss at a low mark.
MRS. HOWARD COTTON
PLEASANTLY SURPRISED
Last Saturday evening' about twenty-five neighbors and friends of Mrs.
Howard Cotton, of Sheridan township,
walked _In anditook possession of her
home and notified her that they had
come to help celebrate her birthday.
The evening was spent in music
and dancing, after which an excellent
sup'per was served, the feature of
which was the presentation of a birthday cake, decorated with a candle for
each year she had reached.
After wishing the host many more
happy returns of the day, the guests
left for their homes, having spent -a
most enjoyable evening.

ENJOYABLE MEETING
Mrs.  A.  E.    Mack   Entertains
Members   at 'Her    Home
Tuesday Evening.
The last regular meeting of the
Good Literature Club met at the hospitable home of Mrs. Mack Tuesday.
Although it'was a stormy evening
there was a large attendance. Supt.
Jones very kindly assisted the ladies
to and from the mpeting. with his car.
The meeting was opened by the singing of the Club song. Mrs. Lamp-
man read the revision of the constitution and by-laws which was passed
upon by the Club members. Miss
Vaughn, chairman on program for
1923 annuonced they were completed.
The name of Mrs. Alta Kidder was
presented and accepted as a new member. The place for holding the banquet was not fully decided upon" but
will be announced later. The entertainment for the evening was superintended by Miss Lapham and -Miss
Kefhauver. It began by all singing
"Michigan, My Michigan. Mrs. Reading sang sweetly, the Club's favorite
song, "Out Where the West Begins."
Mrs. Pearl Comer, the Club po"et, read
two very clever sets of verses composed in honor of the teachers which
were appreciated. Misses Kreitzer,
Kefhauver and Vaughn sang very
sweetly, a song entitled'"In the Time
of Roses" with Miss Lyons accompanist. Miss Lapham then superintended a game that might have been called
"Talking behind your Back," which
Was amusing and entertaining. It
was all good natured gossip and som'e
flattery so every one was pleased. Refreshments of pop corn and chocolate
fudge was served and the ladies adjourned having passed a very delightful evening which seemed emphasized
by the stormy weather outside. The
last regular meeting will be ever remembered by all members as a happy
one, and they will meet in two weeks
at the annual banquet, which concludes the year's work.
To the Teachers of 1923
By Mrs. Pearl Comer
When vacation time draws near
We Shall close the old school year,
With deep regret:
And the kindly interest shown
By the teachers we have knows
We can't forget.
Some our city will forsake
For a little higher stake
They w,M receive;
And we're loath to see you go,
But as a Club, I'd. have you know
We shall grieve.
When to you we would appeal,
You've responded with truo zeal
Without a "sub";
And you'Ve helped our work along
And the meetings, to-prolong,
At the Club.
How completely you have won us,
And the good you all have done us,
You can't guess.
So, of course, the'Club will miss you
Yes, for all, each one will wish you
Grand success.
Now if you who go away,
At some future time may stray, '
Back to Clare, -
We will welcome everyone,
And in all our wholesome fun,
You may share.

Waiting the. Signal.
The beech, with its long, lean buds,
seems to spring from the ground like
a fire. It is a fire with the play of
countless tiny fires among its
branches. The elm, which is a plume
in shape, is flushed in its highest
branches with the first tide of blossom. Everywhere the spring seems
like a runner stooping in readiness for
the signal to start.—Robert Lynd.

By the Governor.
Lee's surrender to  Grant at Appomattox marked tbe  close of
the Civil War which had cost this country millions of treasures and
many, many thousands of precious-lives.   Three years later   Memorial
Day waa instituted to honor the memory of the brave men wbo had.
given their lives in the Union cause,
A generation passed and America again found herself in arm',
not to put down rebellion but to establish tbe liberties and maintain
tbe rights of a young, sister republic.
Less than a score of years saw the outbreak of tbe great world
world conflict and, while at first it seemed tbat we- might be able to
keep ont of it, as the war progressed it became more and more evidedt
that the fruits of liberty, so dear to the heart of every American, were
seriunsly menaced and, that to'Jinsure our national independence we'
must take our place*'by the -side of those who were battling for the
freedom of the world. 'We all know the story. We know how apleridld-
Jy on land and sea our gallant Soldiers, sailors and -marines upheld the
honor*of the American name. '
Memorial Day is for the men who took part in all these wars, but
Our first thought will be for the grey-haired veterans, that fast thinning
blue line whose step is growing feebler year; and in tbis thoughtfulness
for. the old soldier none will, join more heartily, than the younger
veterans of more recent ward.
.Therefore,i in orderthat we may, pay a,' tribute of respect and,
affection to the surviving veterans of the Civli War, the Spanish American War and the Great World War, and do honor to the memory bf
their fallen comrades, I hereby sincerely urge that Wednesday, May
thirtieth,-1923, be fittingly observed as Memorial Day; and I earnestly
appeal to the people of Michigan, for hearty cooperation in plans for the '
observance of the day In their respective communities.       .
On Memorial Day flaga should  bo displayed at half-staff anti
noon and. then hoisted to tbe top of the staff. ,    ■
, Given under my hand and the  Great Seal of the
State this fourteenth day ofvMay, in the year of
(SEAL) our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-
three,  ahd  of the Commonweatlti the eighty-
Beyenth.
