Mothers day." and has issued a
proclamation to that effect, which In
part says: Motherhood Is the sacred
spring from which flows the stream OF
humanity. Just as that fountain Is
pure and holy and noble, so will be
the character of our people. The very
word mother is synonym for rev.
erence. In all nature there Is moth
Ing so tender and loving and joyous
as the relationship between mother
and child. Natural, willing mother
hood is the measure or the vitality of
race, wilful sterility Is race murder,
and is one of the gravest dangers
confronting humanity today"
