A host OF friends and kindred, too,
We have to love each other;
But on this earth God gives TO each
Of us just one dear mother;
She it is who first must hear Of un-
expected pleasure
Rejoicing with us-and her JOY
makes full the hcaping measure.
The first to comfort in distress the
one to whom our sorrow
Brings kcenest pain. and>thcn again
reminds us Of tomorrow"
We learn to lean upon her work
her wisdom guides and strength
Our characters in youth, and brings
reward as time is heightened.
And then the time 10 us must come
when mothy's hands are folded:
TO us the fairrst, dearest hands the
Master Sculptor nodded;
The angels kiss the loving eyes ana
close the whitcfringcd keeper;
The pulselcsS breast is now at rest
God keep the silent sleeper
But lets not think Of her as dead --
just waiting over yondcr
In that fair land. with loving hand
that "SunShine Lana" of wonder.
Vol see her smile again some day;
His promise still rings true:
"Ill go and stay a little while7---thcH

from Greenland tn Labrador and
down the coast Of Maine. The
wNt probable voyage to this

and later by his son Sebastian.
II was, however, Capt. John

sailed as far north as the PenOb-

tory up to Casco Bay and called
this northern section the District
OF Maine. Maine was dissatisfied
with the rule Of the mother state
and by 1920 succeeded in being
admitted to the Union as the
twenty-third state.
Maine was the first state to
adopt prohibition. In the begin

reason that she objected to be-

decidedly Republican. 1t has six

The name Maine was so deslg-
