w. T. u. Notes

AT the mothers meeting held last
week, Mrs. G. w. Maxwell was hostess
and Mrs. II. G.. James leader. A fine
paper presented by Mrs. Il. A. Thorne
entitled, Smother and Son." was a spe-
cial feature from which we quote:
"The two most wonderful pictures of
mother and son, ever given the world,
/ are found in the bible. While we do
not hold Eve as perfect example there
is bond OF sympathy for her, when
we as mothers think of our own mis-
takes. Eve as mother, talked with
God. She accepted the responsibility
OF motherhood as being a co-worker
with God in the redemption of theworld
She gave her son welcome, when he
was born she said 81 have gotten man
from the Lord,n then followed his con-
secration. She mothered her baby, the
animal creation about her cared for its
young and of course she did the same.
AT home for children in Philadel-
phia, the babies were given the best of
FOOD, clothing and warm beds, still they
lacked health and happiness. A mother
visited the home, they asked her "Why
are your babies SO fat and good natured
and these so frail and dull? She in
stantly replied "Your babies need
mothering.o The plan was adopted to
hire mothers to take these orphan babies
TO their homes for few hours and give
them love and affection, which proved
better than tonics.
From Eve we turn to Mary the mother
of Jesus as our ideal, her motherhood
is marked by her modesty, thoughtful
ness and happiness as recorded at length
by 81. Luke lst and End chapter; then
when this wonderful son was still a
babe, how the words of the wise men
and shepherds, she pondered i'm her
heart. Behold her devotion and care
during their flight into Egypt. Can
you imagine the feelings of such a
mother, when at the age of twelve her
son to her is lost? She is the first TO
seek and find Him in the temple, then
to reason with Him and Tell of her love.
Every boy helps To develop his own
character
Phillips Brooks mother wrote ''This
is the period when the boy dies and the
man is born.n If in this adolescent
period the boy Remembers now his
Creator in the days of youth" AS a man
he will take his place in the world for
service, not a one sided character, but
strong on all sides, spiritually, physi-
cally, financially and socially. Mo-
manned uttered great truth when he
said, paradise is at the feet of moth
ers." The poet writes:
"tor life is the mirror of mother and
son,
lis just what we are and do;
Then give to The son the best you have
And the best will come back TO you"
