many CeleQfdLlQnS. bSIWSeH NEW
Years and Christman there were
scores of festivals, each commemora-
tive of some great event in history
or memoralizing some great human
character. Probably the simplest
tions was the observance of Mothers
and the quietest of all these celebra-
Day. 1t brought no elaborate cere-
monial, no feasting and banners and
bands, no games and gay dresses, no
official po1np or civic pride; and yet
it is doubtful if any other celebra-
! ton of the year created more pro-
found impression on the public mind
4 And that is one of the beauties of
Mothers Day. 1t is so simple that
the poorest and humblest may play
leading part in it, 1t is not for
show, it is for sentiment, and because
it is a matter of the heart, because it
touches and quickens the very best
and purest there is in human nature,
it is Just the reason why it has taken
(, such firm hold upon the people. The
celebration came again on Sunday and
old and young, rich and poor, joined
rim paying homage ito the best mother
in the world-your mother. White
carnations were worn by many here
/ in observance of the day, and pastors
of the churches of every denomina-
tion of the town referred to the day
as set aside to the honor of mothers
of all creeds, and urged the members
of their congregations to bring some
! happiness to their mothers.
