Home Ownership Shows
Pride in Citizenship
“There Is no question that while one
Is in possession of health, sanity
and cool Judgment, he should decide
to put a little of his earnings away
for a certain wise, loving and prac- i
tlcal purpose, the finest of which Is ;
the acquiring of u good honm.” C. I*. f
floods*>n told Interested home builders
who attended his lecture at Detroit.
“When a man owns his own home,
he has title In one of the world's
best possessions. Figuratively speak-
ing. a home owner has hammered a
stake Into the ground and tied his
heartstrings to It. Ills pride In his
own accomplishment is translated Into I
civic pride In Ills community, which
he has helped to grow and prosper.
“‘The acquiring of a home is now
an everyday affair.” lie pointed out, ,
“and rightly so. for today it is a de- j
cidedly easier undertaking than for-
merly. Reliable builders, hankers,
trust companies and building and loan
societies are willing to aid the home
builder in financing his home.’*

Love of Home Town
Tills Is your Andalusia. You who
five here constitute the town. All Its
future greatness depends .In a large
measure upon your ability to shape
the trend of thought and action so as
to insure greater growth. Those who
lived and planned for the city and
passed on left ns a heritage which wo
i are honor bound to improve upon and
1 pass on to the next generation with
conditions much Improved and with
her growth and progress unimpaired.
I May we not think always of Andalusiu
as our town: as a thing of which.we
are a part aud that whatever Is good
for Andalusia rellects creditably upon
us? People who live long In a town
learn to love the town and those who
love their home town always stand
ready to work and sacrifice for thelf
town.—Adaluslu (Ala.) Star.

Great Personage*
of the Bible
By
REV. LEONARD A. %ARRETT
j W N. U.. DALLAS, NO. JS-1MS.
Voshti
rpHE book of Esther Introduces us
X to an environment Intensely I'er-
sian in character. In the midst of all
Its gorgeous splendor, Aliasuerua,
kftowu ua Xerxes the Great, ruled as
king.
In a magnificent palace garden
Ahusuerus entertained Ida friends
with marked and extravagant hospi-
tality characteristic of the East. When
the revelry hud reached Its height,
Ahusuerus commanded that Vashli be
brought unveiled before the assem-
bled guests. Tha rule of the East was
that no woman was permitted to n]>-
pear unveiled In a public place, and
her consent to comply with the king's
wishes would liu\e at once involved
her high sense of propriety mid honor.
Sh uilil slit* disobey, Vashli Would be
compelled to pay the price of Iter re-
fusal. That night, facing a future
dark and unknown, a regal con-
science left that Persian palace, for j
the soul of Vashti had fought and
conquered in the struggle for her ideal
of what was right. Here was a char-
acter true to all that Is implied .In that
noble word woman. Vashti was ev-
ery Inch a woman, and rather than
sacrifice her conscience she was will-
ing to abandon wealth, a life of luxu-
rious ease, and all the prerogatives
which belonged to her as queen of the
1’ersian palace.
In the veins of Vashti there must
have flowed the inherited blood of a
true aristocracy of .character. How
did Vashti become the recipient of
such a high -conception of woman-
hood? We know that she acquired it
through no Influence of the Persian
palace. She brought to Ahusuerus a
high conception of womanliness which
was instilled Into her life in the fur
earlier years of her development,
Back of all the gifts which crowned
Vashti queen, we can see the molding
Influence of a mother. Vashti had a
mother. Pack of every woman
adorned with those queenly gifts of
womanhood, is a mother. Ah! Vashti,
something stood strong within your
heart In the hour of that crisis, and
there Is something that must stand
strong in every woman's heart and
life, as she holds in her hands that
power which determines the future of
American citizenship.
In the career of every child thero
come times of doubt and perplexity,
when the music of the Ave Marie is
a very real experience. Where shall
u child go lu such hours, save
to a mother? It is the mother that
speaks, and it Is the mother wha
stands up and answers the ull-perplex-
ing questions and solves the intricate
problems In the life of her child. Be-
fore we can ever bring to the present
social and economic problems a sure
and a permanent solving power, Amer-
ican motherhood must have absorbed
early In Its Infancy those high
and noble ideals, those commanding
and all-illumlnatlng motives, those ex-
alted and queenly conceptions of char-
acter, which we discover in the moth-
er of Vashti. Let Christian mother-
hood rise to this proclamation, that
every child has the right to be well
born. It 1s a fearful thing to send
a young soul voyaging to eternity, hut
it is a perilous thing to send a child
on that voyage with the poison of an-
cestral blood flowing in his veins.
Many solutions are offered for the
evils of our age. To the task of solv-
ing our social and economic problems,
every person should contribute his
share of service and money, but even
then have we solved the problem?
There is a cause for crime more far-
reaching in Its influence than poverty
and the social conditions, out of
which much evil arises. The cause
for crime harks back to the problem
of heredity, which argues again—ev-
ery child has the right to be born.
It barks back to the earlier days when
Into the development of child life
there must he infused those Ideals
and motives f*»r which true American
motherhood stands. This Idea Is mag-
nificently expressed In a Mother’s day
proclamation recently handed down to
the people of Michigan by the gov-
ernor of the state. "Never did the
word mother huve a broader and
deeper meaning than it has today:
The welfare of the world Is related
to motherhood. Would that the moth-
ers of our sons and daughters fully
realized the power they wield.
Through the double standard of virtue
established by man long ages ago
mothers have unconsciously granted
their son’s license to disregard the
sanctity of womanhood. When moth-
ers shall insist upon as clean men for
husbands of their daughters as they
pow Insist upon clean daughters for
wives of their sons a new era will
have dawned In which the social evil
and the whiteslave trutllc will have
largely disappeared from our fair
hind. The highest type of woman Is
the mother. The word mother thrills
the heart with Joy and gratitude and
gives to memory prleeless treasures."
Alissuerus* feast tl a Thtng of the
past, hut the queenly spirit of Vashti
who sacrificed position rather than
conscience, who remained true to her
sublime Ideals of wornat hood, the
spirit of all this will forever abide.
