Our Mothers!

Mothers Day-in the year of our war, 1913.
Wars are made with the minds and bodies Of
men-and men are made with the souls and
bodies of MOTHERS.
In American training camps today, manning
the ships on trcacherOuS SEAS lover there in
the flame of battle, millions Of boys and men are
enlisted in the desperate fight for freedom for
ALL forever.
And fighting beside each man is an enlisted
Mother.
Living or dead, she clothes his daily duties
with the companiOnship Of her spirit, the shield
and buckler of her silent love.
TO be away from Mother, to miss her Little
nameless, aforementioned acts Of kindness and of
love-" to see no more her beloved face is for
these boys flashing revelation of Mothers
DEAFNESS.
We hear much of the Importance of an alnys
morale.
Mothers are its chief source TO most men
Mothers will and wisdom was the first author
ty, and Mothers good opinion is still the high
est reward. Facing the most serious decision of
life, before future mysterious and dangerous,
they turn CROPPING to that first and dearest judge.
"Mother would be ashamed if | failed in duty
or courage. Mother thinks it's the right thing
for me to go-and I can depend on Mother!'
TO have won, by love, courage, and sells
flee, such reward Of trust and faith from a son,
and to be able to give that son, fine a creation
to the service of ideal still finel-that is the
Crown of Life to Mothers.
To vision that son, her little boy, beyond her
care, beset with namcess dangers, sad with
loneliness unspeakabie, his dear body torn and
broken in the very hour of his supreme service
that is the nightly and daily Cross Of War for
mothers.
And yet
We sometimes think of battlefields CHASTITY,
and drenched with crimson dew after the hurri-
cane of shell is past-as symbols of pain and
agony incarnate-but the vision is not wholly
true. How could it be, when in the blessed still
ness there bends to the age-old ministry, the
shining spirit, the healing love of every mother
whose son lies broken there?
Not for an instant is the struggling man de-
serted by the love from which he sprung In the
hour of crucifixon, wherein, like his Master, he
dies that men might have life, and have it more
abundantly, is the encompassing love of his
mother, giving her spirit at the birth of his soul
as she gave her flesh to the birth of his body.
