Mothers Day.

Mothers Day will be observed
at the Methodist Church on the
Second Sunday in May, the 10th
inst. This day has been set apart
by large number of churches all
over the land for the purpose of
honoring the mothers whether
living or dead. The idea origi-
mated with Anna Jarvis, of Phila.
delphia, several years ago. Grief
over the death of her mother
brought to her q realization of the
sorrow which mothers death
must always bring to some one.
And 80 she began her campaign
for a Mothers Day, a day on
which the mothers of the world
would be honored. The news
papers took the matter up, minis
tiers of different churches were in.
terested and in a little while the
custom became general that the
second Sunday in May be set
apart for this sacred purpose.
Men and women are requested tn
wear a white flower, preferably a
white carpafion or rose, the white
representing purity, and is worn
as a mark of respect and love for
the mother who brought them in.
to the world. They are also re.
quested to write to their mothers
if they live in a different place,
and to make the day even more
sacred by doing deeds of kindness
to some unfortunate person In
memory of their mother and at
tending the service of the church.
The day is for everyone regard.
less of religious belief. Special
music will be rendered by the
choir of the Methodist Church and
the pastor will preach sermon
appropriate to the occasion. All
are cordially invited to attend.
