everywhere making us stop in our mad
rush to keep pace with the world, and
bow our heads in honor to her whose
love never once failed us. Mother has

Mother; masters Of art have become
famous in one painting of a Madonna;.
all of the greatest writers have paid
tribute to Mother; and the quotation
OF n of the greatest statesmen per-
haps expresses what every great man
or woman has felt: All that l am, or
ever hope to be, l owe to my mother"
