DAY AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Judging from the number of white
flowers worn by members of the con-
gregation yesterday, nearly every
body must have had a mother at
some time, but still there were some
who were not adorned. possibly be-
cause mothers were more plentiful
than flowers, or on the other hand,
they had gone down to the lake to
look for flowers and had been de-
tanned by puncture or getting lost
In one of the holes in the road be-
tween Ocala and Belleview.
Pastor Stephens chose for the
topic of his discourse words found
IN lisa. 66:13, "As a mother COM
forteth. He commenced by quot
ing a beautiful tribute to mother
written by DR.. Chas. d. Cobb. And
whether it my mother or yours now
crossing into the undiscovered
country from whose bourne no trav-
eler returns we bow our heads In
reverent silence, while the passing
cortege bears the sacred dust to its
present rest, and our hearts swell
with sympathy and q new sense of
fellowship for all who have followed
a like procession and suffered a like
sorrow" Surely these are beautiful
and appropriate words. A mother
love goes out to her children and to
the father of her children, she it is
sorrows of home life. A mothers
love is as old as the race. We have
a way of thinking of mothers as old
mothers, and everybody loves the
old mother.
There are mothers good and
mothers bad, but they are never
found in the one and same person,
and herein lies the difference be-
tween them and the father, many of
whom are both good and bad. A
father will often turn his back on a
hayward son, a brother or sister will
sometimes do the same, but mother
never Her love goes out to the err
ing boy, be his sins ever so great. A
mothers love binds the world. God
intended every mother to be a good
mother, faithful in her love for her
children, always more ready to
praise than condemn.
1t is not an uncommon thing to
find a father a strong, robust, athlet-
ic man, but unable to stand up un-
der the burdens of tribulation and
earthly trials, but the mother even
tho she be an invalid Is the solace
and comfort Of the whole family and
