came filled with the Holy Spirit,
and gave her the most sanctified,
the most glorious of appellations.

the mother of all. He did not style
her wife but simply mother,-mother
of all living creatures. In this con-
sists the glory and the most precious
of woman. All of Fort Worth wore
flowers of either white or red and
all of Fort Worth gave honor to
mother to whom honor was due.
Even He that died for us upon the
cross in the last hour, in the unutter-
bable agony of death, was mindful
of His mother, as if to teach us that
this Holy love should be our last
worldly thought,-the last point OF
earth from which the soul should
take its fight for heaven. Let us
honor mother, for Mothers day, has
