All That a Mother
Asks of Her Children.

There is no love so perfect and so
beautiful as that of Il mother for her
child.
1t is the one love that endures through
everything. 1t survives neglect, il-treat-
ment disgrace, misfortune.
The hayward daughter who has lost
every friend on earth can turn if she
will to the arms that are always open
to receive her.
Other loves will fail-a wife's for her
husband, Il husbands for his wife. a
sisters, q brothers. a sweetheart 'S-but
never as long as there is breath in her
body will a mothers fail
The moment her child is first laid in
her arms that marvellous mother love
springs into existence-pure unsefsh,
undying.
Should her child win success in life
there is no one who will rejoice so thor
oughly and unselfishly as the mother.
Should failure be his lot. she will sym
pathize, condOle and pity.
No matter what he does he is still her
child. the son for whom in his babyhood
she fondly prophesied such a great flu
ture.
Perhaps the happiest hours in a moth
er's life are those when. with her baby
safely Graded in her arms, she looks
ahead and sees herself proudly leaning
on the stalwart son who is going to be
such a comfort to her.
Or she dreams great dreams for the
tiny daughter, rosy dreams which show
the little maid in a home of her own.
happy wife and mother.
No task performed in their welfare is
too hard; no duty too irksome.
Sleepless nights are endured without
complaint in order that a sick child may
be ministered to.
A mother will suffer cold. hunger. pow
erty rather than have her child suffer
one pang.
That a mothers love is not always
appreciated is an everlasting disgrace to
the son or daughter who fOrgets her
| wonder how many men and women
there are in this great city who fail to
show love and consideration to the moth
er who bore them.
Sons who have come to the city to
seek their fortunes and in the rush and
turmoil of business have almost forgot
ten the patient old mother, who, far
away III some country town, waits long
ingly to hear of her boys success.
All she asks probably is letter once
in a while. and at rare intervals a visit
She wouldn't for worlds interfere with
his career but oh, how she would love to
hear about it and glory in it.
But whether he fails or succeeds she
loves him just the same; he will always
dreamed such rosy dreams.
And the daughter who has wandered
far from her mothers fostering care,
doesn't she know that she can always go
back; that those tender arms and that
loving heart are never closed against
her.
The world may have gone against her,
friends may have failed her, but mother
love will never fail her.
Girls, don't grow careless in your love
and duty towards your mothers. A
girls mother is the best and truest
friend she has in the world.
Tell your mothers your secrets; don
be ashamed to; they will never laugh at
them and will never repeat them.
If man is paying attention TO You
bring him home so that your mother may
pass Judgment on him. Her loving,
anxious eyes will be sure to detect any
thing false in him.
Save her all the worry and work that
yoa can: lift the burden from her tired
shoulders to your strong. young arms
And above all. let her see that YOU
love heH and appreciate all that she has
done for you.
Love aud appreciation are all that a
mother asks OF her children. Surely that
is not much to ask in return for all she
has given.-p Philadelphia Evening Bulle-
