Message From The Pastor for May 11

Message from the Pastor Pentecost Sunday and Mother's Day
Today is Mother’s Day. We salute to all mothers. Do you know who makes a mother great besides her children? The answer is her husband. On the occasion of his retirement from the Riverside Church, Harry Emerson Fosdick said he had been puzzled all his life by the fact that, on the whole, women have not accomplished as much in a public way as has been accomplished by men. Why is this true? Obviously the brains of women are as good and perhaps better than the brains of men. Yet the sober truth is that there have been relatively few women in the list of composers, artists, scientists, and statesmen. “At last,” said Dr. Fosdick, “I know the answer. No woman ever had a wife!” On this Mother’s Day let us fathers and husbands salute to our wives.

今天是母親節。我們向母親致敬！你可知道除了她的兒女之外誰令母親這麼偉大嗎？答案是她的丈夫。Harry Emerson Fosdick牧師在他從Riverside Church退休時於感恩宴會上說，他一生感困惑的是為甚麼女人在公職上通常都比男人遜色呢？女人的腦袋與男人有過之無不及，為甚麼在傑出的作家，藝術家，科學家，和政治家名人榜上還是男多於女的呢？“最後，”他說，“我終於明白了。因為女人少了一位太太。”在母親節的今天讓我們做父親的和做丈夫的向我們的太太致敬！
