MOTHERS DAY COMING H'-'
Just about another week, and we all will be
celebrating Mothers Day.
No more beautiful motive has been expressed
in an anniversary than is found in Mothers Day
Here is a poem by Clinton Bingham, from Cham.
bers Journal which will httingly express the
thought of many as this holiday returns:
when I'm looking back across the tmeworn pages
vi the book OF years, one face always see;
iust one gentle face that alters not nor ages
But seems and evermore the same to me
J can feel loving hand in mine entwining,
When my faltering childish steps were faip 70
fall,
With its watchful eyes like stars upon me shin.
IT'S the face that remember best of all
When look around and memory is bringing
Back again the echoed songs of long ago.
Songs that ever down the halls of time ringing
Songs that set my listening youthful heart
agow-
All the visions of bright years gone by they bring
And they seem to hold my spirit in their thrall
But the simple air dear voice used to sing me-
Is the song that / remember best of all!
And the sunshine that has made life's pathway
bright
When long from all the toll of earth to rest me-
Till the dawning Of the day that knows no night
remember all the love the years have taught me-
And the happiness that filled them recall;
But mothers love- and all the joy it brought to
me,
Is the love that remember best of all!
Many people will be able to pay their respects
20 mother in person. Let them thank God they
have that privilege. Many are far removed in miles
and time from the mother they love. In this week
that intervenes they have time to send a message
OF love to mother. No action in the world will
be so keenly appreciated Some-and these the
saddest-hsve laid away the mother form for her
eternal rest. These can but think Of her, remem-
Der her love and Kindness and try to be better
and women because she would have wanted them
to be Ogden Examiner.

ALTON WATER
Flow gently Sweet Alton amo ng thy green praes
Flow gently, III sing thee song in thy praise; .
My Marys asleep by thy murmurng stream,
Flow gently, Sweet Alton disturb not her dream
Thou stock dove whose echo resounds through tie
glen,
Ye Wild whistllng blackbirds in yon thorny den,
Thou green crested lapwing thy screaming forbear
| charge you disturb not my sumbering fair.
How lofty, Sweet Alton. thy neighboring hills
Fer marked with the courses of clear winding rills
'aere daily wander, morn rises high
Ny nocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.
Tow pleasant thy banks and green valleys below
Where wild the wood ands the primroses blow!
There oft, as mild evening creeps the lea
The sweet scented birk shades my Mary and me.
Thy crystal stream, Alton, how lovely 1t glides
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides!
How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,
As gathering sweet nowerets, she skins thy clear
wave!
F-9w gently, Sweet Alton, among thy green braes
Flow gently river the theme OF ny lays;
My MaIy's asleep by thy murmuring stream
Flow gently Sweet Alton, disturb not her dream.
Robert Burns.
