Next Co Christmas which com- mcmortcs the birth of the Rcdccmcr of Che world and Easter. made sacred by the resurrection of thc Savior of mankind, no dav should bc more sacredlv and generally observed than Mothers Day.
 The mothers of many of us are now at rest. They bore thc brmt of the conflict of E.c. fought noble fights and have laid down their mmor and now sleep the last sleep. In honor of their memory we who are the sons of such mothers should don white Uovcr cmblcmatic of the character of the noble woman who gave us birth and who now dwcls u mausionS of light
 There are some who never knew the meaning of mother love. God pity them, a, they have missed much in their lives To them Mothers Day win be sacred as for 1t they cam drop tear because of their be- rcavcmat
 Bu there arc mothcrs-yast numbers or -bcm-who have been spared and who have seen their children grow to noble man hood aud beautiful womanhood and who are ,iu withu~. Grand. noble women they are who went down to the very gates of death that another Gfe might be added to the maIv millions who have found Judgement on tbi, earth for few short years These mother, are victors over ife's battle and arc vcr with us. smiling midst the cares of life and >howcrug blessings upon al. with whom they come in contact, and their hearts win rejoice when they note the honor being paid them by thc wearing of the Mothers rcd flower ou Mothers Day, a tribute of lowe mI reverence that they will know comes from tlc heart.
 This is tbc tribute of this paper to the blessed mothers who have gone ou before. to thc noble and faithful mothers whom God in His mcrvy has spared to us and to ,hc mothers that arc to be during the on- coming generations.
