became known as the festival OF Hill
aria and was held on the Ides of
March. As was the custom OF the
day, offerings were made at the tenn
pie With the advent OF Christianity
the festival was changed. and although
1t still included many pagan customs,
1t became a celebration in honor Of
Mother Church and was held on Mid
Lent Sunday, or the fourth Sunday In
Lent. On this day the faithful came
to bring offerings to Mother Church.
Finally. the day took the name of
Mothering Sunday. and was set aside
as the time when people should pay
visits TO their parents, especially to
their mothers. also that they should
carry with them some cake or trinket.
Going a-mothering" soon became the
fashion and o certain kind of cake
known as simnel cake was carried as
gift to the mother. Herrick, the
poet. in addressing one of the char
acters of his poem on Mothering,
says:

interior filled with such ingredients
as is used in plum buildings. They
are boiled and brushed over with egg
and set away to harden. When they
are to be used they must be rebaked

vogue during the seventeenth century
when every child who resided, away
from home was expected to carry a

Mothers Pensions
The celebration OF Mothers Day
has brought about stronger feeling
on the subject of pensioning mothers.
and one is surprised to learn how
many States have already adopted the
pensioning system for mothers who
are too poor to properly care for their
children. While the plan Is too new
to show very many BENEFITS to the
mother and child the sponsors of the
bill In the City OF Chicago are of the
opinion that child can be maintained
at home cheaper than 1t can In an in
stitution, and also that a child with
a home Is less likely to turn criminal
than the one brought up in an insti-
tuition. The statistics of the State Re-
1ormatory at Elmira in New York
state prove the above to be true In
that State at-least,- sixty per cent,
or the inmates having been brought
up in institutions instead OF homes,

1908 in Philadelphia by several of
the Sunday schools. and in 1909 about
two thousand people took part In the
services. Seattle, Washington, how
ever, has the honor of being the real
pioneer In a genuine Mothers Day
celebration. This was In 1909 when
hundreds of people gathered in the
churches of that city on the second
Sunday In May. They carried bou-
Quets and wreaths OF flowers and at
the close OF sermons on Mother
Love" the entire congregations held
their flowers aloft while the pastor
pronounced blessing. and at the
close OF the service the flowers were
gathered together and placed on the
graves of mothers. whose relatives
were not in the city to perform this
loving service.
In 1910 the Governor Of the State
OF Washington set aside the eighth
OF May of that year as Mothers Day
for that State, and ever since that time
the proclamation Of Mothers Day has
been issued with the same regularity
az that of Thanksgiving. A request
Is also added that each person wear
a white flower on the day and that
special services should be held In the
churches
The State Of Oklahoma was the next
to fall in line with a Mothers Day
proclamation, when Governor Lee
Cruce in 1912 paid such a glowing
tribute to motherhood in his procla-
nation TO the people of that State:
Each citizen. whether old or
young, rich or poor, happy or
sorrowful. remember her whose
love passeth human understand
ing. and remembering, manifest
to the world your love and graft
