The Observance of Mothers Day
Next Sunday

On Sunday, May s, Mothers Day
will be celebrated in churches all
over the United States and the Gov
errors of many of these States as
as well as the chief executives OF Sc
cret orders have issued proclaim
atoms requesting the observance OF
the day in all churches.
The idea of the observance OF
Mothers Day originated with a
West Virginia woman, Miss Anna
Jarvas. who now lives at Philadel-
phia, but who formerly resided IN
Grafton, and 10 many States the day
is observed.
The white carnation-the emblem
of purity-is worn on Mothers Day
in memory OF her who, as governor
expressed it, is the 'noblest' sweet
est and best of Gods creatures.
In accordance with the custom
Governor Mann has issued the fol
lowing proclamation:
Whereas it is the custom in some
of the States to set apart the SECOND
Sunday in May of each year to be ob
served as Mothers Day to the enc
that motherhood may be honored ant
cheri he'd in the self-sacriticing du
ty of training up and caring 70
their children.
Therefore, while having n
authority Of law to do so, l do mos
earnestly request the citizens 9th
Commonw ealth to wear a white ca
nation or some other white flower {
the second Sunday in Nav as an ell
blem OF the purity of a mothers low
to attend church and in every pos
BILE way to show their generation (
the memory OF mothers dead a
their love and gratitude for mothe
living. And I earnestly request t
churches to arrange appropri;
services on that day. Virginia
interested because no State is eN
greater than its mothers.
