Mother! How sweet the word.
1t brings joy, rest and happiness
to human souls.
What do / owe to my mother? ?
There are innumerable answers.
Well do I remember when l was
small when was playing with
my sister and fell and cut my
hand on a piece of glass. l ran
to mother and she wrapped my
hand with some cloths. Now,
who could soothe the pain as
mother could? There is no other
answer than mother.
Who do we tell our troubles
and cares to? Mother. We can
trust mother. She is our con-
fider.
Mother is always willing to
help us and will deprive herself
of any wish of hers to let us have
a nice time. How often she has
made a sacrifice for her children.
Mother took care of me when
| was sick. She put cool cloths
On my aching head. She salts
fed every one of my wants.
There are things that wished
20 do and because / wished so
much to do that thing mother
consented. Now, l remember
mothers hesitantcy about
answering yes and my own
ielfishness.
When in grammar school | had

Mother was always
to help me, no matter
What work she was employed in
he left it and came to help me.
What is home without a
mother? 1t would be very
l am sure. Who could
get to help me with my lessons,
yho would sympathize with me,
Vho would take care of me dur
ng sickness, who would love
nd care for me with her heart
veriowing with love if it were
OF for mother? I-cannot give
satisfactory answer. Mother
