 The announcement that former Sena- tor Cannon will be upon the lyceum platform this season is of wide inter est. Although racially Mormon, Can non has been fighting polygamy in the Mormon church for years. When the Mormons pledged themselves to reform, he interceded for them with Presi- dent Cleveland and saved them when disfranchisement threatened. He also took a prominent part in all public affairs until his antagonism to some of their practices finally resulted in his communication from the Mormon church.
 To the people is presented rare treat to hear really great man at a time when his name is daily upon the lips of thousands. MT. Cannon will speak on The Modern Mormon King dom" at the Birmingham High school auditorium under the auspices of the Lyceum course on January 13, 1912. Many prominent men speak in highest praise of MT Cannon as a lecturer. Mir. Gallagher of the Salt Lake Tribune writes: Former Senator Cannon is a splendid orator, scholar, a. gentle man and a statesman, whose ability is recognized by all real leaders of Washington. He Is man of great personal magnetism and in my opinion one of the best lecturers of the United States" Judge Ben Lindsay says of Cannon: He has a magnificent pres ence. fine delivery and inspires, en- thuses, satisfies and enlightens his audience" Josiah Strong writes: "Ex- Senator Frank J.

 Motherhood should make every wo- man strive to be better in every way.
 Could it be otherwise?
 A mother naturally wants to do more for her baby than for herself-that is the law of Human Nature, and by wanting to do every little thing that will add comfort and joy to her child, the Moth CTS own nature develops into one of Universal Love.

 But
 How different is another lovel
 With every tiny, pink faced, downy haired little newcomer that is born into the world is born at the same time a love that never loses it's romance, whose edge is never dulled by trouble whose intensity is never abated by hardship or want or suffering-A MOTHERS love- which transcends all else. that overlooks all deficiencies. that forgives all wrong
 The mother who mourns for the body of her boy on the field of battle mourns no more deeply than the mother who asks that all that is left of her convict son be sent to her from the penitentiary to her shabby little hut!
 The Bible abounds in beauteous stories of Mother Love. from the story in the Old Testament to Solomon's wisdom in offering to sever a child, knowing that its real mother would protest to the ten der poetic passage about Rachel weeping for her children, after unspeakably wick cd Herod had completed his slaughter.
