MOTHERS DAY
BY Charles Stewart

Tomorrow, men, women and chill
dren, representing every creed, IN
PRAYER and song, will pay tribute to
the unmeasured Jewels of the earth
mother. The fundamental construc-
ton Of all government rests upon the
careful guidance OF mother. 1t re-
mains fact that mankind has yet
failed to fully realize that the power
in all of the walks Of life has rested
upon the teachings and the watchful
guidance of mother
In each of the past twelve months
the age of maturity has reached thou
sands OF men and women and standing
back of the window curtain there is
mother picturing the outer life of the
davis doings of those who have be-
come a part of the business, profess
sional and other walks Of life and Won
dering if their. cherished hope had
been fully realized up until that time.
The men and women Of today have
lost the old-fashioned regard for the
maker Of the home. 1t is necessary
today to turn back to the time that
has passed when the word Mother
and her teachings were as sacred as
when we bow at night on Bonded knee
to thank the Creator for having given
Us life, strength and the hope Of bet
ter tomorrow.
The responsibility backed by the
reliability Of each Of the citizens of all
time to come paints a more beautiful
picture than could be chiseled out in
stone or marble or painted upon the
canvass left as a memento of an I'M
described background that tells the
thinking qualities of mothe' 1t is nee
essary for the mother OF today to give
closer application to building the
fundamental principles of a home that
a higher constructive citizenship may
Be deeply inculcated in the mind for a
successful life's career.
When associates and supposed
friends, BY misguided ideas, bring
trouble and disgrace to their families,
no more solemn word has yet been
constructed in prayer for aid and in
spiration to give strength to relieve
the faulty boy or girl as when mother
appeals to the Almighty to give the
fallen one chance and make pos
sible for them the picture of LIES hope
which they had drawn from the time
of their incipiency, therefore it is nee
essary that the boys and girls Of today
should pause when thoughts Of disre-
gard are about to be uttered against
their mothers. 1t might not come i'm
mediately but in the tomorrow Of sor-
row no boy or girl who fails to feel
ingly remember that they would not
have been part of this human con-
structed trust if not pain and sorrow
given to their being by mother which
piyes them existence.
1t behooves each of you to think and
think we'll when you disregard the
teachings and personal requests Of a
faithful mother who has shed tears of
blood in the closed vaults Of her inner
soul when in anger you fail to realize
that your being today was of their
pain. When this day shall have closed
its memory in history and then new
unmarked curtain Of the beginning OF
the next twelve months, be not I'M
mindful that each hour and each day,
success or failure in any walk Of life,
no greater soulful comfort comes than
from the words of your earthly Gre
ator, Mother.
1t is to be hoped that each one Of
you will in prayer and in solemn hon
orable honest pledge to God and
