Tell mother that you love her
'Tls Just what you should do,
She's growing old so fast just now,
Her pleasures they are few.
Just hold her wlthered hand awhile
And smooth II tenderly-
Remember In the times long past
II did so much for thee.
Tell mother that you love her,
And smooth her snowy hai;.
Say 10 her that in all this world
None TO her can compare.
Twill OIL her dear old heart with Joy
Her eyes will brighter grow
Because II Is her own dear boy,
That says he loves her so.
Tell mother that you love her
Give her the easy chair;
Tell her II makes the home so bright
To have her always there.
Tell her you still remember,
The songs she often sang:
And that they still live In your heart.
Although you are a man.
Tell mother that you love her,
That as the years so by,
She's creeping closer 10 your heart
That your love can never die.
TEL her she's Ike q sunbeam
She eloriles your home:
On boy, youll learn when you reach
heaven,
The good that you have done.
Tell mother that you love her.
For God TO you has given
motner dear 10 bless your home
'Tis typical OF heaven.
Then scatter flowers about her
You cannot have her long;
Just let her few remaining days
Be like one long sweet song
Tell mother that you love her.
Speak tenderly and low;
You'll ind no heart so faithful
No matter where you go.
So when her hands are folded
Above her faithful heart:
Your grief will be less poignant,
When from her you have 10 part.

SALVATION ARMY
Zone MANAGERS
ARE ENCOURAGED

When the Zone Managers Of the Gulf
Division. Salvation Army Home Serv-
Ice Fund, May 1925, met in Birming-
ham, Ala, May 4th and 5th, there was
gathered there one OF the most en-
thusiastic crowd of men and women
that the city has ever seen.
They were all bubbling over with en-
thusiasm because they are finding tbs
people wherever they go deeply inter
ested In the Salvation Army and Its
work. All of them reported that they
find the people Of the cities and the
country anxiously awaiting the open
Ing of the campaign, so that they may
contribute to the fund in order that
the Salvation Army may carry ON It's
work among the people, that the Sal
walton Army alone can reach.
A statement made by one Zone Man
ager was typical OF statements made
by all of them. This statement was as
follows: THE people OF this country
have at last realized what wonder
full organization the Salvation Army Ii,
and are anxious to do what they can to
help 1t in its work"
The people of the rural districts are
beginning to realize that they are even
more interested In the Salvation Army
and its work than the people OF the
city, and now that the country people
realize this, they are more than ready
and willing to aid the Salvation Army
in carrying on its work by making lib
sral contributions.
