MOTHERS DAY TOMORROW

Webster says There is moral and philosophical respect for our ances- tors which elevates the character and refines the heart" The word mother" aWakens in the human heart memo ries that are sweet and precious. The second Sunday of May is chosen for the celebration of Mothers day." and on that day the white carnation which is the emblem, will be in evi- dence everywhere. This flower, on account of it's fragrance, purity, strength and endurance, is well fitted to be the mothers flower.
 Each man, woman and child is sup posed to have in mind that day the dear mother, whose love nothing can change. Wherever it is possible for visit to be made or letter writ ten to the mother who is still living, this should be done, and the mothers who have. been loved long since and lost awhile" will be remembered ten derly and hearts will turn to God in thankfulness for their lives.
 Mothers day is national and inter- national It is for every creed, class, race and country. Every organization should pay proper and fitting tribute to the mothers of the members of said organization. Motherhood Is the crowning glory of womanhood :. Naturally the question is asked, Why? One reason is enough-because of the wonderful opportunities which come to motherhood. "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world" Someone has wisely said, When God wants a great man He first makes great mother" Without mothers we have no homes; without homes we have no state or church, and without these we have, no nation. Her love outlasts all other human
 love,
 Her faith endures the longest,
 hardest test;
 Her grace and patience through a
 lifetime prove
 That she's "a friend, the noblest

Thus the law permitting, Joseph be-

We applaud their superior talents to
this day. The law permitting, the Feu-
dial lords established themselves by their
superior talents upon the shoulders of
the serf until their practices became too
burdensome, and prolonged abuses
brought on the French Revolution.
Thereupon the views of the French peo-
pie upon the subject of Justice changed
and the code which heretofore had

brought on the American revolution, and

ers are in want. No laws can be called
unnatural and no social system can be
called likewise that will allow men am
pie opportunity for the fullest play OF
all their natural faculties. Such laws
cannot be called unnatural because they
aim to suppress in man his pernicious
proclivities of greed and vice. In fact,
many of our laws aim that way now, but
are not far reaching enough.
In the days of our national greatness,
the prophets of ancient Israel ruled with
an unusual breadth of vision. If they
saw into the future it was because they
thoroughly understood the past and
present and not because of any divine
inspiration. They thoroughly under
stood the idiosyncracies and virtues OF
their people. They understood the prac-
tical translation of their own and their
peoples impulses into deeds. They were
able students and masters of human ma
ture. There should be no wondering
why their teachings live today and will
live forever.
The world now looks Immediately
back upon some of the saddest pages of
it's history. Monarchs ignored or mis-
read the impulses of their subjects with
criminal imprudence. Humanity is look
ing for a new and more correct transla-
ton of it's impulses. We know from the
social unrest of today that the toiling
masses that produce the worlds wealth
hope for re-adjustment of economic
values that will give them a more just
share of the fruits of their labor. In
many countries this readjustment will be
difficult because of the strangle hold that
vested interests have upon the machin-
cry of government. In. the new Pale
stine this difficulty will not be encoun-
tered. Let us not court these difficult
ties for the future. Let us establish a
commonwealth where the fruits of the
earth and all of Gods endowments are
as impartially apportioned as no doubt
He Himself would apportion them if in
direct charge.
By the rehabilitation of his people in
their native land the Jew hopes to re-

the nations as the prophet of God. The

his ancient cultural prestige. He can
neither seek nor find better opportu-
nifty to interpret and translate the will of

progress is mans inherent desire to ex-
eel his neighbor. If you block this mo-
tive force, as it is feared this new social
system WILL all human progress will stop.
1t is pointed out that mans desire for
excess wealth is largely an outgrowth
of his desire to excel, and from mans
effort to excel comes all progress.
The particular feature in mans moral
and spiritual makeup that drives him
in his efforts to excel is his vanity. If
a mans vanity is in its proper place, it
is a useful property; it does all that any
one claims and harms no one else. Mans
greed is not so essential to human prog
ress. 1t is that feature in our spiritual
being that causes humanity's sufferings
This may be demonstrated in the lives
of some of history's most striking fig
ureS.
In the process of any revolution some
man has always ridden into eminence
and power on the shoulders of the peo-
pie as their guide and leader. When his
work is done he is 1oathe to get down
from his comfortable perch. He rather
sets about to make himself as secure in
his position as he can. Upon the insti-
cation of his vanity he developed the
excellence that swept him into the lead
of his fellow mems cause. Upon the
instigation of his greed he seeks to en-
trench himself in his new power. Thus
Napoleon rose to power and then
brought upon himself his own ruin. The
same course was run by the feudal lords.
Called into being by the need the small
holders had of their protection, they
gradually abused their trust until they
called the wrath of their tenants upon
their own heads.
All the good accomplished by Napo-
leon was accomplished by the good Of
fees of his vanity. 1t was not until his
greed asserted itself that trouble COM
menced. Greed and vanity can we'll be
separated in the daily activities of men.
This is amply demonstrated in the life
so closely parallels Napoleon's. 1t can
not be doubted that Washington's per-
sonal desire to excel, put him at an early
age on the road to fame and honor
where he not only earned SO much credit
to himself but served his fellow country
men SO nobly. With the greed of Napo-
leon he would have lost no opportunity
to create himself Emperor of what might
have become The Empire of America.
The laws of any country can easily be
so shaped that greed and vanity will be
separated. The laws will not discour-
age the fullest development of mems
talents by denying them great stores of
this worlds goods for which they will
never have any personal need. Such laws
will not crush mems natural desire to
excel and eclipse their neighbors. 1t
will deny them no opportunities to do so.
If mans wealthiest neighbor is rated
at one million, he is happy when he him
self begets two millions because he has
