THE MOTHERS OF THE WORLD

The month Of May is most fitting one in which
to set aside day devoted to- mothers the world
May the month of flowers and hope, and this
is analogous to the failing faith, love and nope
of all mothers.
Mere words are too feeble to adequately express
the depths of the al-encompassing love of mother
man may break every law Of and God, he may
become pariah among his fellows; but, if he has
mother living, he has one refuge to which ne can al
ways 60 sure of a loving welcome It may be that
through years Of disappointment his conduct has craven
lines of sorrow on that beloved face acerated thous
and times that trusting, hopeful heart, but unworthy
he may have become even such man as this can
return to Mother with the certainty that she Will have
for him the same tender solicitation and love that marked
her in his infancy.
In the following lines Kiplng has penned tribute
to mothers which apty expressed the boundessness OF
mother love:
If were damned of body and soul
mothers love would make me whole.
If were drowned in the deepest sea,
A mothers tears would reach down to me-
Possibly it is one of the tragedies of the world that
the praises of mother are too often unheraded and
unsung The outstanding qualities Of motherhood are
sefdenia and self-effacement. You will not find the
great mothers of the world among the harldans who
disgrace womanhood and motherhood by shr1l platform
demands for women's rights You will not find them
among the garuous class of women who harangue Tor
birth control and chdless themselves elect to dictate
fortunate women the proper way to rear
children The great mothers OF the world, thank God,
the mothers that we all remember, gentle, and
loving and kind The mothers who kissed childish
hurts who smoohed out for us the fanced troubles OF
impatient youth and sent out into the world equipped
succeed if would only apply the patient and loving
training that had been every step of the way.
The thought of mother can not long leave any man
or woman, and particular Mothers Day is necessary
keep green in memories all that Mother has meant
to u.s. It's just the thought of graceful tribute that
on this one certain day in May the whole country IN
unison should pay particular homage to mother
It's mighty fine this day to wear red flower
expressive of the warm love of living mothers and
white in loving memory of the purity and goodness
Of the mothers who have passed on; but it seems to
me that the real tribute should further than this and
that the greatest possible tribute anyone can pay to
Mother is to try each day with all his her might to
somewhat approximate the kind of man or woman
Mother hoped and prayed and abored so hard for us
to become.
Blessed are the oil men, for they HAVE inherited
the earth.

family finishes the evening meal.
