JOHNSTON LETTER.
Mothers Day" to be Observed.
Special Masonic Meeting.
Teachers Elected For
Next Session.

] Following ~" cSI8ollnHco Jus
tom, Mothers Day" will be OBJ
served here Sunday morning at the
Baptist church, during the Sunday
school hours. The flower badge is
the carnation, and it is hoped on
that day every one will wear some
kind of white flower to honor her
memory, whether she still be living
or gone to her eternal home, and to
pay tribute to her love. There is a
legend that an angel came down to
earth, and looked about for some
thing to carry back to heaven. Only
these things attracted the white
winged messenger-a flower, a
baby's smile and a mothers love.
When the angel reached the pearly
gates, the flower had withered, the
infant smile had vanished; only the
mothers love remained the same,
and IL being found as pure and eter-
nal as the wa,ers that flowed by
Gods throne, the angel exclaimed
There is nothing on earth pure
enough for heaven but a mothers
love-" And through all the ages, i,
has been human experience that the
angel referred to in that legend,
was not over extravagant in the
statement.
