The OLD.FAsHIoNED MOTHER
Thank God some of US have an old
fashioned mother. Not woman o
the period, enameled and painted
with her great chignon, her curls anc
hustle whose white, jeweled hand:
never have felt the clasp Of baby fin
gers; but dear, old fashioned sweet
voiced mother, with eyes in whose
clear depths the love light shone, and
brown hair threaded with silver, ly-
ing smooth upon her faded cheek
Those dear hands, worn with toll,
gently guided our tottering steps in
childhood, and smoothed our pillow
in sickness; even reaching out to us
in yearning tenderness, when her
sweet spirit was baptized in the
pearly spray of the river. Blessed is
the memory of an old fashioned moth
er. 1t floats to US now, like the
beautiful perfume Of some woodland
blossoms. The music of other bios
SONS may be lost, but the enhancing
memory of hers will echo in our souls
forever. Other faces will fade away
and be forgotten, but hers will shine
on until the light from heavens por-
tails shall glorify our own.
When in the itful pause of busy
life our feet wonder back to the old
homestead, and crossing the we'll
worn threshold stand once more in
the low, quaint room, so hallowed by
her presence, how the feeling Of child
sh innocence and dependence comes
near to us, and we kneel down in the
molten sunshine streaming through
the western window-just where, long
years ago we knelt by our mothers
knee, lisping Our Father" How
many times when the temper lured
us on has the memory Of those sacred
hours, that mothers words, her faith
and prayers, saved us from plunging
into the deep abyss Of sin Years
have filled great drifts between her
and us, but they have not hidden
from our sight the glory Of her pure,
unselfsh love.
