THE MOTHERS THOUGHTS

Close beside snowy little bed
a beautiful young mother knelt. Her
golden hair fell in ringlets about her
small head Her large blue eyes were
dreamy, and a soft sad smile lighted
the lovely face as she gazed long and
thoughtfully upon her sleeping baby
Her thoughts were almost visible, and
in loving whispers, these words fell
lightly from her lips:
Doris, you are mothers little angel,
Sent down by God above,
y, why should | weep in sorrow
While l have you to love?
Sleep in peace, my little one,
While l watch and pray,
While blue-birds flutter in the air,
And sunshine lights the day.
While behold your dimpled arms
Your skin so white and fair,
And dreamy smiles play round youl
lips,
While you are nesting there.
The golden hair upon your head,

tered on our mothers and grandmoth.
ers

background for you, our dear ggrand-
mothers, who are the fairest flowers
Of all.

THOUGHTS ABOUT
MOTHER
TO OUR OLD FRIENDS
(AdaDted)

NAudpttuJ
AS twilight fades upon the west,
And zephyrs yield their rich bequest
Cf odors to the evening air,
From leaflets and from flowers fair
SO may fresh incense for you rise,
AS time now shades your evening
skies,
We'd soothe with peace these later
years,
When strength grows weak, and hopes
and fears,
As tendrils of the running vine
Around the oak their grasp entwine,
0, May your HOPES like ivy cling
To TRUTH a constant PEACE to
bring,
And bid your faith seek clearer
skies,
Where JOY fails not and sorrow dies
And gently as the evening breeze
SOFT whispers through the murmur-
ing trees
Wed scatter flowers in your way
And cheer your hearts as best we may
%. A. Drown.
There is touch of pathos in the
thought that while lovers live to make
themselves necessary to each other
the mother is working to make herself
unnecessary to her children.
-Rlbert Hubbard
Who can deny that the mother
heart of nautral woman makes the
controlling influence of her life pray
er to bless and benefit, to minister
and to servee7
Loving service is contained in the
word Mother. The mother is the true
teacher and all good teachers are spir-
itual mothers.
Every true mother realizes at times
that her children are only loaned to
her,-sent from God-and the attrib-
utes of her body and mind are being
used by some Power for a purpose.
All good men everywhere recognize
the holiness of motherhood-this mir
acle by which the race survives.

RESPONSE BY MRS. SMITH

/ can't help but feel little selfish
In having the honor and pleasure for
two years, of responding to the always
cordial welcome of these younger wo-
men to the grandmothers of Fitzgerald
1t is beautiful spirit that prompts
you once every year to lay aside all
your social and domestic and | NAV
say your political cares too now. and
and give us old ladies real gala af-
ternoon.
We look forward with keen pleasure
to this Grandmother's Day and it seems
to me the greatest joy in the world
is to live to see your life work a real
success and appreciated by the world.
And SO it is great joy to us to look
at you, most of you the life work and
the very life blood of some of these
grandmothers, and to see and realize
what success and blessing YOU are
l trust you young mothers are train
ing up your children in the wav they
should CO. so when they are old they
VIII not depart from the beautiful Gus
tom of Grandmother's Day.
1t is wonderful how God increases
our joys. A child feels that she is so
happy, then as she grows older and
reaches her graduation dav she finds
she is still happier and then when
a young woman marries she knows
she is in land of perfect bliss and
the happiness grows deeper when she
sees her own children developing into
useful men ond women. But there is
even a greater JOY before God calls
us to our eternal home and that is to
be grandmother I wish every club
woman may be grandmother.

A TOAST TO OUR
GRANDMOTHER

Who by your presence here today
speak more plainly than words that &
,, long and happy life comes to those
who love much and serve much, that
each of you holds some interest dear
toward which your love and service is
directed and which keeps your heart
young and your mind buoyant making
you victor over bodily infirmities
The greatest thing in the world is
love, and where in all the world is there
a being in whom all the scriptura
ingredients of love are found if not in
good grandmother? Let me re.
peat them to you, Love sufferetf
long and is kindp-how patient ant
how kind is grandmother
"Envieth not, vaunteth not Itself
generous to fault, modest, retiring
Doth not behave itself unseemingly'
gentle and wise.
"Seeketh not her owns not easi

"Thinketh no evil--rejoiceth not ii
iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth"
Like children again our old folks
are so guileless and sincere.
Happily We seldom see a grand
mother wanting in these qualities Of
love.
What a stimulus and what bene-
diction to meet with and to live with
And now a message of cheer from
one of our poets who begs you never
to say you are too old, for of old
age he beautifully says:
Though it is the waning, not the
crescent moon
The dusk of evening, not the
blaze of noon
What then? Shall We sit idly down
and say
That night hath come, it is no
longer day? .......
The night has not yet come, we are

The Penn's Grove record., 1922-02-10

The plans for the electric speed
line from Wildwood to Penns Grove,
thence via ferry to new dock at Will
mington, Del, are completed. The
distance traversed by the high-speed
line is seventy-fve miles and will
shorten the present time from the
south via Camden by one hour.
The engineers estimate the electric
trains will make the trip in siXty-five
minutes. The heavy steel type OF
cars used will be propelled by the
pantograph trolley system. The route
of the line as now planned is from
Wildwood to Cape May Court House,
and thence to Melville, Bridgeton,
Woodstown and Penns Grove, thence
by ferry to the new dock, which is
being built by the City of Whining
ton. The cost of the complete con-
struction is estimated to be about
$4,000
The taxpayers have paid hundreds
of thousands to grade and build high
ways. The promoters of this speed
line will soon be after a free franchise
to use the public highways. The
country along the way will have to be
more thickly settled to make it pay.
But then the promoters will get the
gullible from other parts of the coun-
try to take stock. The road will go
into bankruptcy, squeeze the little IN
vestors out and then may run 1t on
a small capitalization.
