NO ONE LIKE A MOTHER.

poor old woman lay upon her sick bed in
a close uncomfortable room, with daughter and
little grandchild to take care of her But whom
do you think til aged woman called for all the
time, and longed to have come and nurse her q
1t was "moher"-he, own mother.
20, there's nobody like mother to take care of
you when you are sick" she said.
A person present asked how long her mother
had been dead.
about fifty years, I reckon" she answered.
Do you think you will remember your mothers
loving care for fifty years? No doubt you will. if
God spares your life. You may think but little
of it now but you will think a great deal of it
then. This woman's children and grandchildren
had grown up about her, but her heart reached
back all that waste of years to the time when
she was a child at her mothers side.
1t was for "mother," "mother." that our poor
boys, in tent and hospital, called and prayed
when sick and wounded they were laid down to
die.
O, there is nobody like mother in love and
care for us. What return are you making her
every day for all she does for Won? DO your feet
run willingly to do her bidding, as soon as it is
known? DO you try to save her trouble, and
tighten all her burdens? O, nothing in this world
can 10 it so efectuaHy as to know that her
children are growing up good and noble, aud use
full in the world
