1t is claimed that all the ! residents
of the United States had good moth
ers. 1t is said that John Q Adams I'M
til the day of his death said the pray
ers bis mother had taught them. Lin
coin said, "All that am / owe to my
mother" Garfield kissed the wrink-
led face of his mother on the day of his
Inauguration and said, "You brought
me TO this" Grover Cleveland said,
"Worldly honors or worldly perplexi-
| ties will never cause me to forget the
lessons my mother taught me" As
the shadows lengthen, the memory of
a mothers love becomes intensified.
The vision that grows dim with age
becomes clear and visions of childhood
days rise before Us in their peIfections.
1t is well so few instances are ON re-
cord where a mother has failed to i'm
press her children with the value and
purity of mothers loye.-Nicholas
Chronicle.
