God intended you should be mated to-
 Mother, when babies came to you, was the first to offer help, was the first to give that loving, unselfish, attention that only mother can give and watched over the cradle with the same care that she watched over yours years before.
 The world owes more to mother than 1t owes to all the different insti- tutions of business that exist now or will ever exist, for without her all things would be at a standstill.
 Do you realize what the loss of mother means? Have you ever thought that the mother you love so deyotedly might die and die at any moment? And leave you sorrowful and with an empty heart?
 'rhe empty chair at the fireside means more than you can see at the present Have you at all times been all that you should have been, have you always been respectful anu at. tentiYe, have you obeyed the best i'm. pulse in you and loved with all your heart the dear little soul who has done so much for you?
 If not, shame and guilty con science has held you many times in it's grasp, and you have not felt like looking your fellowman in the eye with the same look you could give were you sure you had done your full duty

 What are you doing 10 hal'ow that mothers love2 Are you help,ng some body else's mother to travel an easy road in her last days? If nor. you are not doing your duty. vou arc noi serving that loving memory you hold so sacred of the sweetest best mother on earth.
 There are many mothers today who are not abie to look after them. selves, not able 10 get the necessities of life. much less the l.tle luxnrics they long so to have. where, it you would give out of your income a iupe, il would help her or them to get what is needed. without having to go 10 charitable organizations for assistance.
 Your giving, if told. exci;es a sym pathy with your interest, and some one else gives and sooner or later a fund Is established that is sufficiently large to not only take care of one old mother, but many.
 Impress upon every one von meet that if they will help, you will be abls to establish great work that will redown to the credit of an who give to it.
 Vt is your privilege and t is not right that you should look OF giving for such cause in the light of Q painful duty, but rather look on it as God given privilege, a privilege born of trsse love of that sweet memory of the days when your mother gave you all that was here to give
 Let mothers day mean more to you than day simply set aside for thought; let t mean that when you
