mory OF or respect for their mothers.
Don't you think it Is a beautiful
idea? 1 do. My only wonder is that no
one thought OF It before.
Mothers Day" is primarily a church
holiday. but please don't let that pre-
vent those of you who are not affiliated
with any church from feeling that IL is
up to you to help celebrate 1t.
If you still have your mother right
in the home with you, why not make
April 1s day of special kindness and
thoughtfulness for her. day when you
do not say a single cross or impatient
word. a day when you give some unex-
pected caress that will mean so much
to her. and say some unexpected ten
der thing about what a very wonderful
mother you happen to have.
II you are separated from your moth
er why not make April 1s day to
surprise her by bridging the distance
between you. If it is possible.
And If that is not possible. you can
at least write an unusually tender and
loving letter that shall send a glad
thrill of sweet Surprise to her heart
when she receives 1t.
Some, l know, are reading this and
! thinking, "Ah, IL only could do some
of these things. But my mother
and then the eyes fill with tears of ach-
ing memory. and the heart-no matter
how blameless-accuses itself. IF had
only been kinder
! Dear people, Mothers Day" must
be a sad day for you. of course. but why
not sweeten the sadness by reading
! your mothers Bible. going to your
| mothers church, and by performing
| your loving kindness to some other
| mother, somebody's mother as lone
| ~ for lost son or daughter as you for
! your lost one.
In this way there shall be three made
| happier--the lonely mother, yourself
and---yes. believe 1.-THE little mother
in heaven who will, be surely smiling
down in approval.

IN POLITICS.

Only a few years ago the Indiana
delegation in congress was solidly re-
publican. In the present congress the
only CT O. p. representative from the
Hoosier state is Edgar d. Crumpacker
In the matter of having one house of
congress opposed to him politically
President Taft is confronted by the
same situation which faced Grant,
Hayes, Arthur. Cleveland. Benjamin
Harrison and then Cleveland again.
Though James A. OGorman, the new
United States senator from New York,
has been a member of Tammany hall
ever since he reached the voting age, il
is said his affiliation with that organ
ization has never affected the independ-
ence of his political attitude.
The contests for the next national
political conventions soon will be on in
earnest, though the actual choice of To-
cations viii not be made until next
spring. 1t is regarded as a foregone
conclusion that one or the other of the
big conventions will go to Chicago.

the Fifth Louisiana district has formal

United States senate, but has not yet

Now boys just a moment. You've all
had your say,
While enjoying yourselves in so pleas
ant way,
We've toasted our sweethearts, our
friends and our wives;
We've toasted each other. wishing all
merry lives:
IT'S one in a million and outshines the
rest;
Don't frown when 1 tell you this toast
beats all others.
But drink one more toast, boys, toast
to Our Mothersr
One of my correspondents has asked
me to tell something OF the origin and
meaning OF Mothers Day"
Mothers Day" was inaugurated by
the churches of Minneapolis during the
Chapman-Alexander evangelist cam
paign there.
Ostrom, whose own mother had died
felt that the young people might be
especially touched and the old people
honored and pleased by the observance
OF such a day.
Mothers Day" was celebrated first
on April IL and is supposed to be
celebrated every year. on the Sunday
nearest to that day. That would bring
It Sunday. April Is. this year. What
effect the fact that Easter comes on
that day viii have, do not know.
The idea of the evangelists was to
have a day especially devoted to moth
ers just as "Children's Day" Is devoted
TO the children. On this day in the
churches which celebrate il q sermon
Is preached especially for mothers and
great efforts are made by special in
vitation and the use of carriages and
automobiles to bring out the older
women who would not otherwise get
there.
The flower dedicated TO this day is
the white pink. The churches are dec
GRATED with them. Sprays of white
pinks are sent to the sick and shut-in
mothers and the younger people are all
