Last Sunday was the day set apart
by proclamation Of Gov. Rye for the
observance of Mothers Day in accord
ance with the act passed by the Fifty
ninth General Assembly Of our state.
The different churches of our city OBJ
served the day with fitting exercises
and red and white carnations and
roses were worn in remembrance Of
Mother. What better theme could APP
peal to the tenderness Of human
hearts? Mothers, whether dead or
living, were paid beautiful tribute
by special exercises and prayers. A
valued exchange well says in regard
to the observance of the day:
I'm the ranks Of the regular army
and the national guard now being re-
cruited and mobolized, and among the
many enlistments for service in the
navy, there are also thousands of
young men with mothers more than
solicitous for their well-being.
"War times bring great trials for
mothers and Mothers Day this year
has, therefore, a special appeal. The
patriotism Of the mother who yields
her son for the country's service on
the battlefield is the highest exposi-
ton of that noble virtue.
"There is, therefore, a peculiar in
terest, touched with pathos, in the cell
ebration of Mothers Day this year"
