Motherhood is more than a contri-
vance for the perpctuation Of the race.
Nomin is more than the mother of
children; she is the mother of love. BY
her, love was born into our world, and
by her the love faculty has been de-
veloped in the human race. Every
mother is lover; and by so much as
she Is a lover, does she make the world
more divine. QHer lot may be lowly.
her circumstances may be strait
encd. Her education may be defec-
tive. Her hands may be hardened with
the worlds work. Her face may be
scanned with the worlds sorrows and
cares Her shoulders may be stopped
with the worlds burdens But she Is
a lover. God bless her, and that is her
supreme distinction) She may be
your mother or she may be mine; she
Is somebody's mother. and she would
die for her child. That is the measure
of her love; that is the marvel of
motherhood.
Let kind memories be cherished of
her today, and kind words spoken, and
kind letters written, and kind prayers
said. Let all hearts be tender FOR
Mothers sake today. Let all women
honor their high calling, and all men
reverence all women for their mothers
sake.

Talks With People

r. D. JENKINS. - Practically no
great literary creations have been
produced in America as a result Of
the war in Europe. The most no
ticeable literary reflex from the war
is found in poetic expression In
England. Sporadic utterances have
gone into print in france; but they
are not of merit. The French press
has made trenchant comment upon
the flamboyant, exaggerated writing
that has been done in that country
since the war. The book of the year

Rinehardt and Irwin Cobb have made
valuable contributions to the special
article class of writing. To those
who have known Cobb as a ma ga zine
humorist his depth of appreciation of
fundamental conditions and his

"Mothcr!" How dear that word
sounds to all of us, and what precious
memories are interviewer with 1t. 1t is
mother who is quickest to see our vir-
tues, and the slowest to find our faults.
Her generous heart is ever ready to
pardon our gravest errors and restore
MS to speedy favor. She is our most
ardent defender and truest friend.
1t is impossible to estimate the
mighty debt the world owes to the
mothers of high degree, and the moth
crs of low degree; to the mothers who
have trained their children to rule u
realm, and to the mothers who have
trained their children to rule them
selves; to the mothers of ancient times
and to the mothers of modern times.
Surely it is a debt that can never be
repaid.
That word mother" is the inspira-
ton Of countless thousands today as
they tread the intricate paths of life,
and her sweet memory will help those
who have lost her to find that path
which leads to the house not made
with hands"

Mothers day is the day for some
of us to open the windows of our spir-
itual ears and hear the voice of Mother
calling to us from the land of the great
beyond. She is calling us back to the
ideals of our youth which she plant
ed on our growing minds; the ideals of
purity, honesty, gentleness, kindness,
and the ideals of the religion, which
made her the mother she was to some
Of us.
1t is, perhaps. Il splendid tribute to
her devotion to place flowers on grave.
or to wear one in a buttonholc in her
memory. or to shed tears of regret be-
cause we have drifted so far from her
teachings. But, men, it is a far finer
tribute to Mother to make her old age
happy in seeing "a son grown to man
hood whose purposes are noble, whose
estimate of womanhood is fine and
pure, and whose life in the world is a
constant testimony to her precepts and
example.
