happiness unspeakable be to her.
1t is a sublime instance of self
sacrifice, of splendid devotion to duty
that is found in the story of every
true mother. The beautiful sweetness
of mother love is as constant as the
music of the tireless sea.
In all the world there is nothing
half so strong; in all the world there
is nothing half so pure. 1t seems at
times as if God created mothers that
weary men may not abandon faith in
him.
No man may ever know the
thoughts of a mother as she bends
over the babe for whom she went
down into the valley of the shadow.
A halo ever rests over her as if she
had caught something of the radiance
of another world as she fingered at
the eternal gates.
Everything that is good, that is
beautiful, that is holy clusters around
the name of good mother. 1t is
those qualities that have given to her
that position of dignity and moral
power which the shining impress she
bears from her creators hands so
fully entities her to occupy.
May Mothers day ever be fittingly
observed. But every day should be
Mothers day. She deserves all the
love, all the devotion and all the fl
deity that can be given her every day
of every year of life. She is the most
precious gift that God has given us
and the dearest friend we shall ever
know. May our love of her and our
tributes to her and to her memory
be as tender as evenings latest sigh
and as ehangeless and as constant as
the light of the stars in heaven.
But wait
Mr.. important business man, Mrs
prominent society leader-just send
ing mother a card or a box of candy
once year doesn't spell much. Oh
course, she will appreciate it and all
that but remember that mother has
considerable time to think as she sits
by the window in her easy chair back
east and her thoughts are not of the
future but of the past. To her you
are still her little boy or girl of long
ago and you should remember her 8
little oftener, don't you think? She
Graves your love and it is barely pos
sible that a little financial assistance
once in a while may not be amiss.
And daughter-Maybe you still live
at home right here in Red Lodge with
mother. Assisting mother by wash
ing the dishes occasionally will be &
fine and dandy way to pay tribute t.
her and means of helping her bear {
heavy burden at the same time. Il
won't hurt you any. Don't complain
of pain in your back every time
there is anything to do about the
house. You seem to be as sound as {
dollar whenever there is anything go
ing on up town.
And sonny-A splendid way for yor
to pay tribute to mother is to be the
kind of boy or young man tina
meets mothers plans and specified
tions. Just loving mother is hardl!
sufficient. Why, listen boy, do vol
know that if you were to do anything
low or mean it would just about xii
your mother. You have already cos
her days and nights of anxiety anC
wrinkles in her dear face and heart
aches and sacrifice. You owe he
many back debts, boy, and the way tt
pay them is by being always ant
everywhere man.
So here's to Mothers day. May i
be fittingly observed. On seconC
thought, you see, it means more thai
just sending candy and post cards ant
wearing carnations once a year. l
is or ought to be a going concern 36'
days each year. 1t should be observed
with all the sentiment the traffic will
bear leavened with little good, prac
teal common sense. 1t is grand in
stitution and contains much not fount
in books.
