CHAPTER V

The housekcepcr's room had heard

THE LONG TRAIL

When you come up to the end of the
road, old man, with your feet and your
heart like lead; when you arrive at the
place that you did not plan and from
whence all hope seems fed. When you
appear to have come to the journeys end,
and the crossroads point no way; when
you wander around till both knees bend,
and your aimlcss feet will stray. When
all earth wears funereal pail, and deep
gloom obscures the sun; on final throw
you have staked your all, and the cards
show you haven't won. When your enemies
laugh that they've thrown you hard, and
your tired feet travel slow; you're de-
serted at last by a lifelong pard, who
cares not to share in your woe. When
you come to the end of the trail, old man,
the same path that the Christ child trod,
just know no human through life's desert
span was ever deserted by God!-Ex.

AND THE GREATEST OF THESE
ARE MOTHERS

They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He z0ields mighty scebter
Ger lesser toqvers that be;;
But a mightier poorer and stronger,
Man from hisSfhrone has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the svorld.
William Ross Wallace.
No man can realize just how much he
owes to his mother. 1t is so natural for
him to accept her service, toll and sacri-
flee as a matter of course, that he seldom
thinks of offering her special praise. And
yet, of all beings, who is more deserving!
Your mother gave you being. She has
transmitted to you the qualities that make
up your personality. During the early
helpless years of your existence she
watched over you as only mother can
watch. Day by day she observed the de-
velopment of your body, mind and soul.
Your initial impressions of life were OBJ
tanned from her. She was your lawgiver,
gulQe, tedCncI, anu qucch. NS youi IL"
turc unfolded hour by hour and day by
day she cherished you as the flower of
her very existence. Her imagination
glowed as she thought, dreamed and
planned. She looked far down the years
and saw you as school boy, college stu
dent, and man of affairs. Every thought
of her being was controlled by an absorb
ing interest in your future. She fired
your ambition and guided your impulses.
She reused you from indifference or re-
strained your impetuosity. She sorrowed
with you in your defeats, and thrilled with
you in your victories. She believed in
you when others doubted and suffered
when you were scorned
in your days of sickness she sat by your
bedside, watching, waiting, hoping, and
silently praying Her heart was beating
with your heart. She could not be happy

the boat must arise, even the ball player
who hated first call when serving in the
army. From Cleveland to Washington it
is a night and day run and an early
train must be made. When this jump ap
pears on the schedule, there is always an
open date which allows the western teams,
plenty of time to reach their destinations
in the east.
Once in the east, travelling becomes
delight to the ball player. The teams al
ways depart from Washington via Penn
sylvania or B. & o. at p. m. and arrive
in Philadelphia at O:2O p. m. There is
a reason for rushing to Philadelphia and
that reason is that every ball player in the
two major leagues excepting the members
of the two Philadelphia teams, would
rather be at the Aldine Hotel, Philadel-
phia, than any other place in the world.
Why? Because at the Aldine, the most
wonderful meals one has ever eaten are
served. At the Aldine they have grand
old Irish walters, everyone of whom has
worked at the same hotel for twenty years
or MORE These old Irishmen know every
player and manager in the majors, and
they treat the ball players just as your
mother would If you do not order every
thing on the menu, they inquire: ooh,
sure, and me good man, are you sick"

elsewhere as long as you needed her.
When your father was stern and unrea-
sonable she helped you find way, and
later stood between you and the paternal
Storm If you needed an extra dollar
now and then she found it for you even
if she had to do without something her.
SELF Your need was reason enough. She
did not demand any explanation. Maybe
she spoiled you by her love, but that is a
mothers prerogative. Maybe she was not
as firm as she should have been, and
maybe you would be better man today if
she had used more discipline. Be that as
it may she was your mother, and you
cherish her memory above all else.
You will wear a carnation in her honor
and your eyes will dim as you recall all
that she has been to you.
Do not be ashamed of the tears that
may come. Let them flow. They will
wash away any indifference, or neglect, or
forgetfulness that the gathering years have
charged to your account. 1t will make
you young again to permit the feelings of
youth to have full play. If your mother
is still among the living you will go to
her again just as you used to 60 and let
her mother you. That is the greatest JOY
of her life-to feel that she is needed. If
your mother is no longer among the liv
ing you will honor her memory and find
happiness in ministry of some kind. You
will seek out those who are in sorrow,
just as your mother would have done, and
wipe away their tears. Thus though
your mother is dead she still speaks and
smiles through you and the world is made
better because of her wonderful love.
A man may forget his mother, but she
will never forget or desert him. Reckless
men have been transformed almost in a
night by something that has stirred half
forgotten memories of mother and home.
1t is said that back of every great man
there is the inspiration of mother, wife
or sweetheart. 1t can be declared with
equal truth that many a man today owes
everything to his mother, largely because
she helps him in his moments of despon-
dency. There come times in every mans
life when he loses courage. The obstacles
are too difficult and he feels like sinking
down into failure. Just at that juncture
the true mother exerts her greatest power.
She encourages him to get up and make
another effort, and very often that effort
brings success. Her strength is in her
ability to inspire, and to arouse the powers
that have become inactive through dis
couragement. Thank God for such
mothers They are of greater value than
any other influence in the world, for with
out the courage to make supreme exer-
tons, all that man may possess in the
way of ability, is worthless.
Surely the poet was divinely inspired
when he penned the words:
'The hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rules the world"
