Mothers Day

] CAlGbe LnlOuSh NAC oNA AAAOAAo
ed by their pastors, will touch large
ly upon what Mothers Day means
to the world at large and more
closely bring the subject to the at
tention of those who shall be their
hearers on that particular day.
There is a sweetness that comes
from the word Mother" that the
English language fails to duplicate
in any way.
The depth of a mothers love, can
it be measured by the imagination
of the human mind? No, it goes
farther than that, it ranks as the
purest and best of all earthly loves
and takes it place as second to Gods
love for the world when He gave His
Son to die upon the cross for the
sins of the world.
This is a broad assertion but has
been proven time and time again by
the love of a Mother for their de-
graded sons and daughters.
A Mothers love never dies, no diff
ference how wayward the lives OF
children may become. No difference
how low in the scale human degra-
dation they may fall-friends may
desert them, the world may turn
it's back upon them; yet there is
one place they can always look for
love and comfort and that is from
a Mothers heart, who stands ready
at all times, night or day, to go to
the aid and if possible by her pray
ers and persuasion try to lead them
back in the straight path once more.
The world moves on and as sure
as the sun continues to shine, so
will the love and prayers of that
class of mothers who never rest, as
long as one of their loved ones is
likely to go astray.
Think of the World War, with its
thousands of dead who lie buried on
the battlefields where they fell.
How many Mothers are today going
forth into the world with smiling
face, which hides a broken heart,
owing to that great conflict? Think
of thousands of the Gold Star Mo-
theirs who will traverse the ocean
and wend their way to the shores of
France that they may scatter tears
of sorrow on the graves of their low
ed ones who lie buried there.
Measure the depth of a Mothers
love? 1t can't be done. We may try,
but in the end we must acknow7
ledge defeat, and truthfully say it is
something beyond human cOmpre-
hension.
Living Mothers on Sunday will be
waiting for their loved ones to come
home-don't disappoint them. Make
their hearts glad by your presence.
Take a bunch of flowers to show
your appreciation of the great love
they have exercised in your behalf
in the past.
If Mother is dead seek out the
spot where she lies buried. Think
of the kind things she did for you
before she passed away. Scatter on
her grave the sweetest white flow
ers you can buy. This is very
small thing for you to do.
Fires ....
Our fremen have been kept on the
run for the past week. The forest
fires raging in different parts of the
county have claimed their attention
for a large part of their time. On
Friday of last week both fire en-
gines were in commission-the
smaller one was used to subdue a
forest fire which originated in
woods about two miles southwest of
Glendale, and the larger one went
to help those who were engaged in
trying to extinguish the Stockley-
HarbesOn fire, which burned thous-
ands of acres of timber.
On Sunday the firemen were call
ed to Redden where they succeed
ed in putting out a forest fire which
did but very little damage.
Both fire engines of this point are
kept in prime condition and are
ready to go out at any moment.
We call our firemen the Minute
Men. 1t is only minute from the
sound of the siren before they are
off on a trip, to aid some one who
are in need of their services.
