MOTHERS CELEBRATION.

Mothers Day was celebrated at
the home of Mrs. Seth Bumgarner,
New Haven, Sunday, May Sth,
1910, by her six sons and her only
daughter, Mrs. William Powell.
Each of those children having taken
with them everything that was good
to eat and at 10 A. NJ. those seven
children with their children were at
the home of their mother. The ven
cradle old lady did not appear much
surprised, as her children frequently
go together and spend day with
their mother. The Sth was Mothers
Day, and the 9th was mothers 7and
birthday. Therefore, mother was
remembered in two ways. In my
opinion the friendship of this mother
and her children are perfect. Whilst
couvcrsing with Mrs. Bumgarner, /
found her business part of life was
directed by the Golden Rule. Mrs.
Bumgarner's degree of contentment
proves to all that she lives with God
in her life. A Visitor.
