REBUILDING OF
MELISSA TOWN
GOING FORWARD
With lair weutlur tlif past lew da* i
, repairing and building lias been mak
in« very sat in lac lory progress at Alc-
lissa. Approximately two hundred

mechanics 01 all kinds are al work
now in the reconstruction oi the storm
swept area.
Reports have boeu afloat that sunn
of tile business men of Melissa con-

Is even considering; moving away and
it is ills opinion thai every merchant
and business man, together with every
one who lost their home or business
house, will rebuild, while in most
cases it will be necessary to rebuild on
a smaller scale.
With a small amount received from
the relief funds, together with (licit
own liquid assets, supplemented by
their credit and with the assistance
of friends, It is possible for nearly all.
if not all. home owners to soon have
a house again of some kind. It Is also
expected that several rent houses will
be erected soon to replace the ones de-
stroyed in tflie April 13 cyclone. ®
♦ ♦ ♦
l ine spirit of ('o-opcrntinn.
only the tlnest spirit of cooperation
prevails In the rebuilding nf the New
Melissa. No one seems to harbor a
desire to profit oil' the other in the
matter of the price of lots or exchange
or re-location. The entire eltl/enwhii
of Melissa is working harmoniously
uiiil no one wants to tie a hindrance
in any way to the rebuilding of their
town. Mut everybody Is trying to help
0110 another and are working together
in unity. Those who have come in to
do the work seem to want to be rea-
sonable in their scale of waxes and m
give the best of work and honest ser-
vice. Again the material men, bolli
ai Melissa and elsewhere, are making
their prices just as reasonable as pos-
sible. In fact, all supplies purchased
and distributed by the relief commit-
tee voluntarily offered practically at
cost both by retailers and jobbers.
Mr. Gibson said thai the many fav-
ors shewn Melissa citizens by cities,
towns, railroads, light and telephone
corporations and Indvlduals have been
ol' untold value to all the committees.

ritory with a renewed Interest and de-
termination to render more valuable
service for the company.

In spite of the rain and threatening
weather, fair sized crowds greeted the
pastor both at the Presbyterian Sun-
day school and church services. Moth-
erhood was the subject of Dr. Flnch-
cr's sermon ai the morning service,
taking tor the basis of his thought
Exodus 20 and 1st, "Honor thy
father and they mother," combined
With Mxodus 2-9—"Take this child
ii-way and nurse H for me and I will
give thee thy wages."
Tills is Mother's day and today we
nre wearing flowers in memory nf
Mother. Only In Christian lands are
they so honored, only where the
Christ Is known does woman in any-
way come into her own. Wo can see
that even today, for the nearer Christ-
ianity is known and lived out, the
more our mothers are honored. And
where Christ is not known, little Is
thought of the mothers motherhood.
Why, the best thing in this wide world
is a good woman; but better still Is an
earnest, God-fearing mother. One of
the glories of Die birth of oJsus (,*hrlst
was thnt he was born of a woman.
Lives of ull groat inon reflect to a
large extent the teachings of early
childhood, the Influence of mother
love nnd mother example. We notice
first the world today needs real moth-
ers more than any time In human
history. Mothor with a love for God
and love for hor chlldron nnd a long-
ing In her heart to train them to fol-
low the footprints of God's teaching*
Mothers can, and do wield a greater
Influence In the world today than any
other source for the uplift of com-
munity nnd national life, We need to-
day mothers who can train men with
a forward look for the uplift of man
kind at large.
Only from the home of prayer
■where mothers nre Influenced ns the
years of childhood pass by. tho gentle
touch, the kindly word of a loving
mother can we expect to receive that
material that in later years shnll
mingle and unite with the thread and
tread of high and noble Impulses, thnt
shnll make Its Influence felt not In one
community only but nationwide for
good.
We need mothers after God's own
heart, the results of n life moulded
Into shape and activity by an earnest

tongue can eatimate. Even the har-
mony and peace of the world might
