True MOTHER Love
A WOMAN WHO OPPOSES FEMALE
SUFFRAGE.

Believes Woman Was Created for
Two Purposes Alone in this World,
Wife and Mother.
The following written by an Au-
gusta woman to the Chronicle Of that
city, will be read with interest by all
rue wives and mothers:
Editor Augusta Chronicle:
Will you grant me space in your
valuable columns to relate to your
rea4eTs one of the most beautiful e1-
amples Of mother love that / have
ever witnessed?
Beng in one of the large depart
ment stores on Broad Street last
Thursday morning, I was attracted
by the tenderness Of lady in fitting
up little newsboy in a nice warm
sweater, gloves and stockings. In
her conversation with the saleslady,
who was serving her, overheard her
remark: "No, he is not my boy, only
e little newsboy I found standing on
the street corner with little bare
and almost frozen hands and a beau
tifully little face almost bleeding
from the blasts of the cold wind"
With the affection and tenderness
as though the child were her very
own, this mother (for she spoke OF
two little ones at home) gladdened
the heart and life Of this little fel-
low who could not have been more
than six or seven years Of age. Twas
indeed beautiful to watch the glad
some light and the expression OF
gratitude Deaming on his little face
as she fitted him in his new, warm
outfit. "No," she was heard to say,
Il haven't lots Of money, but I want
to see this dear little child made COM
Portable and warm while selling his
papers," What a beautiful example
Of mother love; would to God that
the wurld was filed with mothers Of
this kind! How wildly it brings to
our minds the teachings of the bless
ed Sa1ior, "Inasnuch as ye do unto
the lecst one Of these ye do also unto
your Father which is in heaven. !"
To ry mind and belief, God created
woma.l for two purposes alone in this
world, wife and mother. What Is
there IN life that woman cannot ac-
complish through wifeheod and
motherhood?
Instead Of suffragette, public
speakers, saloon smashers and va
rious other things OF notoriety for
which woman Of the present day Is
clamoring, give US wives and moth
ers; mothers who welcome these lit
tie ones in their homes, taking them
into their hearts as they grow to
manhood and womanhood; this
mother love grows with them, check
ing the tendency to vice and evil. Make
a world of your home, whether it be
cabin or palace, envelop it in a frame
of mother love and our saloons, gam
bling dens, etc., will soon close their
doors for lack Of business.
How many Of US tonight. through
memory, drift back to our childhood
days, recalling that beautiful and old
sweet poem:
Backward, turn backward, O time
in your fight,
Make me a child again, just for to-
night.
Mother come back from the echoless
shore,
Take me again to your heart as OF
yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows
Of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out Of
my hair;
Over my slumbers your living watch
keep,
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to
sleep.
Backward, flow backward, O tide OF
the years,
I am 80 weary of toll and Of tears
Toll without recompense, tears all In
Take them and give me my child
hood again.
Over my heart in the days that are
flown
10 other worship abides -dkyma
No love like mother love ever has
No other worship abides and en-
Faithful, unselfsh and patient like
yours.
None Like a mother can charm away
pain
From the sick soul and the world
weary brain
Slumber's soft calm DER my heavy
lide creep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to |
lids creep
