At the Mother's Day service hi
Wingham, United Church on Sun-
day morning Rev: T. G. Husser
spoke from the subject "I Believe
in Children", taken from the text
-Mark 10:16, "And he took them up
in his armg, put his hands upon
them and blessed them."
Taking the life. of Jesus as a
guide, Mr. Husser aaid that if we
believe in mother and her love,
then we believe in God. If we
believe in the home, a place of joy
and peace 'and happiness, then we
make it ad abode for Jesus. And
we must believe in children be-
cause they hold the 'future of the
church and the world. It is the
duty of the"parents to develop the
personality of their children to-
ward theafuture, so that they may
ae fitted to take the Places of the
