Well, my mother is no better bu
gradually growing worse day by day
and I thought l would write few
words along the line of what thought
about home and mother The average
theory of home life is that the happi
ness Of home depends almost solely up
on your mother first, and second your
wife. Woman's first and highest mis-.
sion is her home, to see that there are
no clouds overhanging it which
sunbeams bright and joyous cannot
: penetrate. Love, hope and aspiration
blend in glorious rainbow of promise
that arches the holy circle of our
homes, and what home means to us all
that makes life really worth living, is
the object to which all unselfish en-
deavor is directed. 1t is the one soli-
tary spot in the desert Of the world.
where all those principles taught us in
childhood preserve their living green
and reach out of twilight of the past
into the sungold of the future, pre-
serving unbroken by far generations to
come the lessons therein taught. Home
is word that we love to linger on.
and it brings to our hearts q confiding
trust and repose. 1t has been said that
there is no sweeter word in all the dia-
lects of earth than the word home, un-
less it be the word mother, and home
always suggests mother and clusters
about it more happy and hallowed as
sociations than any other place. Its
impressions are the strongest, deepest
and most ineffaceable. 1t means life
after death, the hereafter. to all who
are blessed with the offspring in
whom their own characteristics and
energies are perpetuated. 1t is the
golden chrysalis wherefrom the hope
of the future takes wings at last.
The home of our childhood, where
my mother and your mother trotted us
on their precious knees in our baby
hood days From the home all life has
its growth and that it's tone and color
ing are transmitted not to one genera
tion alone but to all generations, is an
indisputable fact. Some of our read
ers may think that each member of
the family contributes his or her share
toward the making of the home, but
the principle, presiding spirit, dear
readers, is the word mother. She is,
or should be its life heart and center.
So you may talk about your brothers
and your sisters so dear. but when you
lose your poor old mother you lose the
best.friend .on earth. write these
few words. the subject of home and
mother, for.iust few more fleeing
months until ye writer will have to
yield up the precious gift to me of all
creation, my dear old mother, eighty
years old, with dangerous cancer on
her face now beyond all hope of medi-
cal aid. write..and drop this thought
into your minds, dear readers, that the
life heart and center and rose bloom of
my childhood, mother, will soon have
to depart this.life and will leave va
cant.sspot in the home of my Childhood
that cannot be filled by any other.
It makes my heart ache Ito think
back Just a short while ago when I
was little lad sitting on my mothers
knee, and now the summons of death
Will in few more months be executed
on my mother. There is no place on
earth like home with mother.
