That means a true. complexion soap. A soap made primarily for facial use.

Soaps good for many purposes, other than for beauty, are often too harsh for the skin. Thus, largely on expert advice, millions use Palmolive Soap; touch their faces with no other.

H. E. Dueker Tells Congregation Why He Came, Occupying the pulpit of the Immanuel Luthern Church for the first time the Rev. H. E.

Dueker, new pastor of the church, yesterday morning spoke on "What Is the Object of My Coming to You "When calling Jerimiah to be His prophet, the Lord said unto him: "Thou shalt go to all that shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt The Lord our God is a sovereign God. He selects whomsoever He pleases for the preaching of His Word, and He sends His servants whenever and wherever He sees fit. He also endows them with the necessary gifts to perform that whereto He sends them." said the Rev. Mr. Dueker in his introduction.

"So the strong and mighty Lord has also sent me. He is my rock and my fortress and my deliverance, my God and my strength, in whom will trust. protecting Father of His people, do assume the duties of a minister of the Gospel among you. "Occupying your pulpit for the first time I would today introduce myself by speaking on the subject: 'What Is the Object of My Coming to You? "Announcing his coming to them Apostle St. Paul, at the same time, tells the Romans what they might expect of him when he would come, that he would unfearingly and unreservedly preach the Gospel of Christ.

He promised to bring the Romans something of which he was not and never need be ashamed. St. Paul As Guide. unto eternal life. Has Personal Message.

"Telling the Romans what to expect of him, St. Paul sayg nothing of worldly gain. He makes no mention whatsoever of silver and gold, of precious stones and costly silks which he would bring from the wealthy countries of the east. In our text St. Paul likewise makes no mention of fine arts, the great learning and the brilliant eloquence which he would bring to Rome from highly cultured Greece.

Paul, a thoroughly educated man of his days and an eloquent speaker, could have made a brilliant career in Rome, the metropolis of the world. But he desired no honor and fame in this world. Paul took no pride in his learning, he glorified in the Gospel of Christ and crucified, the only comforting and, consoling message for all people. "Even so do not bring unto you great wisdom and knowledge; for I have none boast of. I say with St.

Paul: 'For to, determined not to know anything among you, save Je9118 Christ and Him By human knowledge and wisdom no man has ever been saved or ever can be. Neither is it the beauty or elegance of a sermon which kindles justifying faith in the hearts of them that hear it. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, it it is to bring the true fruit of godliness, must be preached in plain words and simple. The Gospel is the simple faith expressed in the words: 'Christ delivered for our offences, and was again for our And Paul in his day was not ashamed of the word of the cross, 'Because it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that even SO may you expect of me that, by the grace of God, I shall never be ashamed to preach the word of divine truth in language so plain and simple that even the unlettered and the uneducated may learn the way "In order to proelaim to you these glad tidings of the forgiveness of sins in Christ Jesuse I have come to you. The object of all that speak and do among you shall be the forgiveness of sins.

May God be with me and help me that I may never be ashamed to preach to sinners the one thing needful, forgiveness of sins. Would I do otherwise, then would draw down my head that curse which rests upon such. The command of God to all His servants is to preach the whole Word and nothing but the blessed Word. "But should I preach only the Gospel of Christ and say nothing of the law? Should I cover your sing nicely and not touch the wound? The Gospel and the law must always gO side by side as long as we live in this sinful world. It would be sheer madness to preach the Gospel without the law.

If the wound of the soul be not touched it cannot be healed. My office requires me to reprove sin. I am ordained a watchman of God to warn against error and to say to the wicked: "Turn from your way or you shall surely be lost. and thus to that none of those entursted to my care are lost. To save my soul alive in this dire responsibility I must.

as far as God gives strength and ability, do these two things: On the one hand, must preach the law. which tells us that we deserve nothing but punishment: and on the other hand, I must do the work of an evangelist crying unto you: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. though you had been the greatest of sinners, and for this reason I confess with St. Paul: 'I am not ashamed of the Gospel of What Is Expected of Flock. "After stating at.

some length what you may expect of me, I wish today to tell you what I seek and what I expect of you, and this I may condense in a few sentences. I seek of you the noblest and costliest thing that you possess, namely, your soul. To win souls for Christ have made the object of my life, and I am persuaded it is something worthy of all labor and all hardships. Finally, seeking to win souls for Christ, preaching the word of cross to you, I expect and roquire of you that you will hear and will accept what the Spirit of God teaches through His inspired Word. that you grow from faith to faith and that Christ be more and more formed in you.

Therefore. I beseech you, let not the Word of God be preached to you in vain, or it will be a witness against you in the judgment day of Christ. Remember that Christ, the good Shepherd, comes to you in His word. Keep in mind what He commanded St John to write to the Laodiceans: 'Behold. I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice.

and open the door. will come in to him, and win sup with him, and he with Influence of Mother Is Stressed by Mr. McLennan "All down the line of Hebrew history there is felt the influence of mother," said the Rev. W. P.

McLennan at a. special Mothers' Day service at the Seventh Day Adventist musical Church, program where an appropriate preceded the sermon. "See the slave mother Jochebed hiding infar.

See her again months from the wrath of the teaching him to esteem 'the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of See her later giving to Israel a deliverer and to the world him who, 'as historian, poet, philosopher, general of armies and legislator, stands without The life of Moses testifies to the importance the mother's ON Influence.

"The mystic cord that binds the her child cannot be described, for it is a golden thread from the great anchor cable of God's unfathomable love. Sin may degrade you till those who Were once friends spurn you, and shut the door in your face, but the feeble trembling mother in yonder home, tottering on the brink of the grave, will welcome you and love you. She will rejoice and be proud it honor is bestowed upon you; she will cling to you in your dishonor. The great value of mother is emphasized in the fact that 'what is put into the first of life is put into all of "Let us go over our account with mother. She may not be with us much longer.

Are we loving her enough? Ere long there will be a vacant chair, and those hands which have loved to minister to your needs will be folded across the pulseless bosom on which you nestled in helpless infancy. There will be no more good -night kisses, no gentle caresses. Then you will be bereft of your best and truest friend. "In the Saviour's last hour, though suffering unutterable agony, He remembered His mother. At the foot of His cross she stood, supported by the disciple John.

Looking into her grief -stricken face and then upon Jchn He spoke those words which made provision for His sorrowing widowed mother as if to teach us that this holy love should be our last worldly thought." BEHOLD THY MOTHER IS OAKLEY'S SUBJECT Makes Plea for More Great and Christian Mothers, From his text, "Behold thy Mother," the Rev. James H. Oakley, pastor of the Prescott Memorial Baptist Church, yesterday evolved sermon on "Mother" whose main paragraphs outlined the word "mother." His introduction referring to the day and his text said: "Today, May 8, is recognized, throughout the country as 'Mother's I do not know of a better text for the day and for the occasion than this touching passage. "Jegus is hanging and bleeding on the cross and during this hour of all hours, Jesus sees His mother standing, gazing upon his death and he said to her, 'Woman behold thy Jesus then speaks to John and said, 'Behold thy John took the Lord's mother to his own home and cared for her. Though suffering and in the midst of death, Jesus never forgot mother.

"I am asking that we take the letters, M-o-t-h-e-r, and let each letter suggest and outline for the sermon. Mother. Let us remember the words of Jesus and Behold our mothers. In the midst of a busy period, it is good to stop and take a look at mother. The word mother must have been born in heaven and taken from the vocabulary of the angels.

No sweeter name to be found than the name, mother. Some years ago, I was walking in an old country graveyard and on a little rugged tombstone, I saw these words. 'My I turned away, realizing that some broken-hearted person laid away his best friend. We have never had nor will never have but one mother. Alexander the Great never wore any garments save those made by his mother.

You may, not have mother-made garments: but is it not true that every child is mother made? Others. The mother of Jesus was at the cross, interested in otherg. No class of people live for others as our dear mothers. She lives for her children, works for their happiness and plans for their future. A mother gave her son the following motto: God first, others second and self last.

Mother lives an unselfish life. She lives for others day by day and is a blessing to the world. Teacher. Some one has said.

All may turn from the children but there is one who holds out to the last with an unfailing and unchangeable love, mother. Religious.

All mothers are not Christians nor religious but as a rule, mothers are a religious class. Great Christian mothers have given to the world great men and women. John Newton's mother led him to nrist. Tho mother of John Wesley gave him to God in the cradle. Henry Grady went back 10 his mother to pray.

compared to it." said the Rev. C. M. Witt in his Day sermon at Millington yesterday. "God Himself could find no greater task for her, so a woman became the mother of His only begotten Son.

Through Mary, the mother of Jesus, was fulfilled the prophecy that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head. And bruising the serpent's head means that Jesus shows us a Heavenly Father with a mother -heart. No mother ever yet took time to count the hairs on her baby's head, but Jesus says that God has the very hairs of our heads all numbered. God's word is always revealing to 115 the mother-heart of the Heavenly Father. "But, alas, I fear mother does not mean what she used to mean to us.

The so-called freedom of the new woman, which degenerates into license, together with lowered ideals of regarding the sacredness of marriage and the permanency of home ties, have combined and are already threatening to destroy our home life. Home is not what it used to be, and we cannot go back to the old days; but we can retain some of the good things of the past, and we can correct sone of the errors of the present. The supreme task of our generation is to keep sacred three things: Mother, home and Heaven." APPRECIATION MOTHER IS GIVEN BY DEAN NOE Beautiful Tribute Broadcast Over WMC Yesterday, Paying a glowing tribute to mothers in which he stated that "good mothers form the basis of all civilization, and that back of every man who has gotten himself into immortality stands some mother who has instilled into him the principles of unselfish service," the Very Rev. Israel H. Noe, preached a strong sermon yesterday morning from Mary's Cathedral (Gallor Memorial), which waS also broadcast over WMC.

radio station of The Commercial Appeal. His text was taken front Romans 3.17, "Render, therefore, to all their dues: honor to whom honor is due; tribute to whom tribute 19 due." "It is fitting," said Dean Noe, "that in this month of May when the church is commemorating the Virgin Mother of our Lord as the ideal mother, the second Sunday should be set aside as a time for us to think of our own mothers, in order that we might re-value their love, and re-dedicate ourselves to their happiness and "The blessed name of mother! What power there is in the very word. How redolent with precious memories. How linked with golden association: with what tenacity the very word lingers like sweet music in the soul! Think how she watched over you in childhood, and how. when the earth was beautiful and life was young, It became all the more beautiful because of her love and faith: how she watched over you in your helpless infancy, with untiring and cealsless vigil; how patiently she put up with the follies of your untamed youth.

Then later on in years when misfortune came, friends deserted you, and the world frowned, when no sunbeam shone for the clouds, and the stars were hid in the midnight gloom, she drew all the closer to you in the midst of the tempest, sharing your every grief, comforting you in your every sorrow, wiping away every tear. Surely this is a tie that cannot easily be broken. I envy not the man in whose soul the very name of mother does not awaken a throb of emotion. Hardened must that man be whose soul does not kindle at the very thought of a mother's love. No Love Like Mother's.

"Washington Irving has reminded 119 that of all the affections of the human soul, none can equal the love of a mother for her son. It is not chilled by selfishness, nor daunted by danger, nor weakened by lessness, nor stifled by ingratitude. A mother will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience: she will surrender every pleasure to his happiness. She will glory in his fame, and exult in his prosperity. And it misfortune come, she will be all the closer in that misfortune; 11.

disgrace fall upon his fair name she will cling to him through that disgrace, and if all the world forsake him, she will be all the word to him. "We should honor our mother today because of the debt we owe to her for bringing us into the world. She was the first to know our being, and to feel our life. She longed and hoped and prayed for us long before ever we were born, and she endured the agony of hell to bring us into life that she might know our presence and have the joy of loving us. We love her because she first loved us.

So many sons and daughters fail to realize all their mothers have suffered for them until it is too late to let them know how much they appreciate that love. Should Honor Mother. "We should honor our mother today because we owe all our education to her. She taught us all the truths we ever learned. She was the first to teach us to reverence the name of God, to teach our lisping lips to pray, and to answer the questions: Who is God and where is God.

We all owe our moral education to her, and it must somewhere be written that the virtues of mothers are visited upon their children a9 well as the sins of the fathers. No true mother can leave that task to other hands, and when it is well done, it can never be undone. Benjamin West said that a mother's kisg made him a painter, and Lincoln said that all that he ever was or hoped to be he owed to his angel mother. When Christ said that we must become as little children before we could enter into the kingdom of heaven, He must have been thinking of a mother's influence over her child for good. should honor our mother because she has given us a home.

Many people can make houses, but only a mother can make a home. There can be no home without a mother. We can only have one mother. Let 118 love her while we may, and let her know that we love her. Let us show our appreciation to her, not merely by wearing a flower, but in being what she would have us be, and living as she taught us to live, and above all by rededicating ourselves to her happiness and A Nation Never Rises Above Home Dr.

Edward Clutter of Wichita. Kansas. is conducting evangelistic meetings for the Christian Church at Hollywood. In his Mother's Day address he said: "You can group the great events of history around lives of a few outstanding men. the back of that these characters you most always find the influence of a mother.

In my acquaintance of a larger number of men, who have been leaders of society and made A success in life, I have only met two who could not point to their mothers with pride. nation never rises above home influence. We speak of the church as A divine institution. but long before Christ said, 'Upon this rock I will build My the home was established. and it had approval of Almighty God.

So the home is as divine as the church and every home has a God-given right to have a Christian father and a Christian mother." Mr. Clutter is an evangelist of wide reputation and expects to continue the meeting during the coming week. Many sermons will be Illustrated with large charts. PASTOR BEGINS 10TH YEAR Tunica Congregation Presents ing Cup to Mr. Williams.

There are several places yet where the aviators might have landed. elther one of the barren islands or some point along the coast where there are few inhabitants.
