In Memory of Mother.

One of the three most precious
words in language is mother
The voice of mother charms the
child as no other voice can do.
The presence of mother dispells
all the fear the child believes;
the embrace of mother protects
from every danger. In her voice,
in her words, in her presence, in
her touch, in her smiles, in her
embrace lis the child's heaven.
Oh, what a parsonage is mother.
No doubt we caused her many
sleepless nlgl nd weary days
but with motherly patience and
queenly beauty she led us
through all the years of home

grown very weak.
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1921-06-09

No love in all the world so
strong,
No love so deep and pure;
Through absence, and through
waywardness,
That love will still endure.
The prayers that swiftest wing
to heaven,
Are those that father prayed;
For in the thoughts of his dear
children,
The father did abide.
You are gone, dear precious
father;
Never more we'll see your face,
Til we meet DER the river,
In that happy dwelling place.
Farewell to our dear father,
You won't be with US any more;
We hope to meet you some day,
in JOY,
On that bright and happy shore
Around the green mound in the
cemetery,
Will linger your family, in tears
And above it will weep the sad
willows,
But father is free from all cares

sunday LAWS
GAIN IN JAPAN
Presbyterian Board of For
eign Missions Hears of
Strong Movement
SOCIAL SERVICE
BUREAU ORGANIZED

Blue laws arc having their power
ful exponents in japan as well as
i'm the United States, according to
information received by the Presby-
terian Board of Foreign Missions at
the boards headquarters. l56 Fifth
avenue. New York city.
Advices received by the board are
that the Toxic Chamber Of Com
merce has formally put itself on
record by the adoption Of a resolu-
ton favoring the closing Of all shops
on Sunday. Heretofore Sunday has
been, as a rule, wide open.
Following this action a commits
sion began study not only OF the
Sunday problem. but also Of plans
for improving the hours Of labor
through the week. The project calls
for a weekly rest day, shorter hours
and more considerate treatment OF
employees.
This commission designs to pro-
vide weekly rest day for all en-
ployes except to hotels, eating-houses
and public baths and also that work
ing hours shall be restricted TO nine
and a half per day. with eight hours
only for young persons employed.
Another important piece Of news
reported from Japan to the Presby-
terian Board Is the tendency Of the
priests and Of every denomination OF
Buddhism TO popularize the Budd-
hist belief by participation in every
sort Of social service, which up to
this time has been neglected by
them. As a result a chair OF So
GEOLOGY has been established at the
Jodo Sect College at Sugamo. at
setagaya and Osaka. where every
scheme and measure Of social serv-
ice is to be investigated.
A social service bureau has also
been established where relief work,
special missionary work and other
forms will be undertaken. The new
temple OF zojoji, now under con-
struction. will be the headquarters
on its completion in 1924 and spe-
cial organization for social services
will be formed by the priests OF the
Jodo sect, where funerals will be
conducted for the poor families free
of charge.
Prayers for the peace OF the
spirits Of the fowls killed for the
tables OF Toxic residents will be Of

Council Given Right .
:: :: to Grant Separate,
= Charters to Branches

!: Word was-received here today from
; New Orleans that the fifth annual
; convention of the National Federation
ot.Federal Employees had given to the
national executive council the right
to grant separate charters to branches
Of already established locals.
This would make il likely thai the
(. Federal Employees Union. No. >. would
{. be split into nearly thirty different
, unions. each with its own govern
ment, thus increasing the number of
local unions here tremendously.
1t is anticipated that such action
/ would not be taketn without fight.
/ however. as faction in Union No. >
, is opposed to any such division. it is
understood.
+. The matter rests with the national
council as to whether to authorize
the separate charters. Quite a war
was waged here fast winter by SER
. tain branches of the big local for
senarate charters
| The large scientific and technical
branch, for instance. instead of func-
tlonlns as merely branch. would as
sumo rights as fell-fedged local
union of the national federation.
Among the other unions which would
be created, if the national council should
authorize the granting of charters to
branches. would be the Public Health
! Onion. Library Of Congress. Post Office
Bureau of Standards. War, Treasury
