MOTHERS DAY
Observance Will Be Next Sunday Ia
Ali Churches

BY act Of Congress signed by Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson in 1914. the Sec
ond Sunday in May is set aside as
Mothers Day. Next Sunday Is there
fore 70 be observed as Mothers Dav
throughout the United States. Pro-
vision in the act is made for a display
Of flags on all public buildings as well
as the expression Of individual tribute

Church services on Mothers Day
are now almost universally arranged
with the day in mind, and other Gus
toms Of the day are springing up. A
white carnation is the accepted flower
10 be worn in memory of ones mother.
and the sending to mothers of specially
designed greeting cards noting the day
is another simple method Of expressing
appreciation which has met with APP
proval.
Investigation shows that Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia in 1908 made
the first step toward Mothers Day
when she asked that the church in the
little Virginia town where her mother
had been a leading spirit. hold SER
vice in her memory. A little later the
Philadelphia churches are found to
have been generally observing one
Sunday in May as Mothers Day. and
the plan grew to elimination in nation
al legislation.
Various English customs act as
precedent for the idea of Mothers
Day. In the days when young men
and girls were bound out as apprentice
es or maids. the fourth Sunday in Lent
was set aside as day wher they
earlier, the idea is found in Rome
when on the same fourth Sunday, gifts
were annually brought to the Mother
Church. Even the pagans had their

known as Rhea, the great mother of
the gods.

II is the law. A wedding ceremony
must be performed in the town where

Just a minute all was gloom. How
