A MOTHER S LOVE.

We love the friends our hearts hold denr,
Our sisters and our brothers,
But most Of all, we ought to love
Our dear devoted mothers,
Although this world is dark and droar
It's joys portake Of sadness,
Yet, now and then there will appear
A bOam ofloye and gladness.
A friend may love us long and well,
And cling through joy and sorrow,
But then some evil cursed spell
May chill this love tomorrow
But Grmer than the love Of friends,
And stronger than all other,
The purest love we ever knew,
is that Of our dear mother.
A sisters love is found and true,
And full Of tender feeling,
Appreciated by the few
And often unrevealing;
But dearer than n sisters lSye,
And fOnder than all others,
The dearest, sweetest love on earth
Isa devoted mothers.
A brothers love is firm and true,
A father loves us longer
A wife's devotion greater STILL
And her affection stronger;
But dearer than those loves combined,
And sweetOr than all other,
There is no love as truo and kind
As devoted mother.
They tell that spirits hover round,
From evil to deiain u.s.
That friends, whom once weknew on earth,
In Heaven may still befriend us,
But dcarer here than angels love,
And purer than all others,
The love on earth we need the most
Is q devoted mothers.
Then let US prize our mothers more,
While they are left to love us
And cherish in our hearts their words,
If now they watch above us;
And neer forget, or treat with slight,
That love above all others,
Which filled, forever burning bright,
The hearts Of our dear mothers.

Parson, in what chapter and verse in the

such employment rs you admit yourself

chapter, verses 10, 20, or in Mark 10th
