PRESIDENT H4RDLNCS OWN STORY OF HIS MOTHER
SISTERS WORK AS MISSIONARY ANSWER TO PRAYERS

smiling mother of the brood that
chung to her. l had a boys admira
ton of her work in the church. be-
cause she was always cheerful.
Among the lonSfaced church work
ers she Shone, because she was differ
ent. She was fluent talker and had
sweet throat for the old songs. Al
ways she was altogether bright and
fervent and magnificent in her work
:or the cause that was nearest her
heart
Nothing was more natural than
that this mother should desire to
dedicate her daughter to service
she herself loved
Il hav. no criticism to make OF
mother" her son said to me that day
Perhaps. if ] might have suggested
one thing different in her life IT
would have been that she had read
little more profane history along
with her study of sacred volumes.
The Deathbed Sacrifice.
Following the wedding Mrs. Votaw
went with her husband to India. as
the mother had wished. But at the
end of five years work the young
wife's health broke, and she was Civ
en- a years leave of absence. In this
period she recuperated and was her
physical self again. However. when
the time came for her to go -Dack
for another five years, or give up the
work the mother was sick unto
death.
The voice now telling of the last
days of the mother asleep out there
on the hillside was not the voice that
was to vocalize the issues of the cam
paign on the morrow. 1t was in har-
| mony with the deep lines of III.
! speakers face. For the time War
rem Harding looked old. old beyond
| his years.
We'll" he was saying. I'VE all
/ knew that mother could not live. She
knew it, We would have Carolyn. OF
/ Carrie-her baby name-stay. II was
| extraordinary that she should &c
! away. under the circumstances.
[ But again the mother of Spartan
! courage was ready for the sacrifice
, And again the family was overruled
| SO this daughter-consecra to
| the service of God before her birth
! as was Hannah's son. Samuel-kno"
| ing that she was looking for the last
/ time into the face she loved. gave
! heed to the words that bade her &c

President Harding. bade her daugh-
ter return to her missionary work in

Mother and daughter were never to

Both felt it-both knew it.
Yet there was no tiinching. no way

President Hardings story of his

which became famous in connection
with the front porch campaign. The

with people. Telephones We're tintin-
nabulous and typewriters clicked.
Marion was just coming into her
own as the home of a presidential
candidate. The town was filling with
people for the morrow-the big day.
Candidate's Thoughts Of Mother.
Mr.. Harding had led me out of the
crowds into this room. where we
might be undisturbed. He showed the
wear and tear of the day and 1t
pleased me to feel that he was tax
ing advantage of my visit to get brief
relaxation.
On the desk at his left was a pile
of printed slips of his speech of ac-
ceptance Through this address the
people were to come to know his mind
and take his measure-Some to COM
mend and eulogiZe others to criticise
and belittle. AS we talked common
places. the fingers of the candidate
But his mind was not on these.
Neither was he thinking of the peo-
pie who were waiting for him, nor OF
what the critics might say.
Jack" he spoke quietly, Il see
that you have written something OF
mother. Let me tell you a story OF
her that has never been told. You
can write it."
He knew of the great esteem in
which ] held this cheerful Christian
woman. n regard that had begun in
boyhood and grown stronger with the
years.
