Not so very long ago play was an
nounced and Its mysterious title result
ed in endless discussion and conjecture.
Tho name Of the play was "Ths Great
est Thing In the World.
''What can 1t beg" was asked every
where. What Is the greatest thing in
the world?" New inventions were dis

about, and wiseacres decided that 1t was
some great scientific discovery which had
taken place or was possibility of the
near future.
And then the play was seen, ana some
went away more mystifed than ever.

mother love was. and is, the greatest
thing in the world! And. strange to say,
although none had guessed the right ex-

fitness of It. or the truth of this broad
assertion.
A man will jestlngly repeat the old say
ing-'"The hand that rocks tho cradle
rules the world'--but deep down In his
own heart he knows. and is even Wiling
to acknowledge that 1t Is true. The
greatest deeds of history's pages can be
traced almost directly to the hand that
rocks the cradle. The sublimest act of
heroism,- patience courage and endurance
have been performed under the leadership
OF this guiding hand
But why go back to history's pages?
