Mothers Day

word Mother, unless it brings {
.. thrill to their hearts and many
times tears to their eyes.
The word Mother seems to touch
and tender all hearts, and even tC
those who have wandered away, and
sunk deep in human degradation, the
word Mother when whispered in
their presence seems to be the only
method to awaken them and start
them back to home and friends once
more.
Women or men who have not lost
all sense of gratitude will ever re-
member the love and kind acts of
some Sanity Mother and no one but
bastard would speak or allowed TO
be spoken in their presence one
word that would reflect in any way
on the influence which the true Mo-
ther has on the growing youth of to-
day.
It is true there are those who
claim to be Mothers, but only in
name-their absence from home and
neglect of their children prevents
the little ones from the care and in
fluence of the mother when they
need her the most.
Only true mothers whose hearts
are wrapped up in their families and
homes can have that love and inf1u-
ence which makes many homes a
| happy place to dwell and from such
homes which sends out into the
world women and men who are both
God fearing and brave.
A mothers love, how deep, how
| lasting. No one can measure its
depth and no one can tell where it
will end. Father, brothers, sisters,
relatives and friends may desert and
! throw us aside, but mothers love
never falters, no difference how low
in the scale of human degradation a
person may become, a mothers love
will follow through it all, and well
come will be always ready when a
wanderer returns.
A culprit stood before a judge,
having received a sentence for conf
mitting a hideous crime (not to be
mentioned here) and further said to
the man you are not fit to be at
large, and men like you should be
put behind prison bars and kept
there throughout their natural lives.
Women and men who had attended
the trial passed him by without a
word of cheer or recognition in any
way; but did the mother who was
present do the same? No, but rush
ing forward and clasping the culprit
in her arms, and with tears stream
ing down her cheeks, said: Son, mo- |
ther will never desert you. A mo-
theirs love! A mothers loVe!! Who !
can measure it?
A warden in Northern peneten- !
tiary in speaking of the hardness of
hearts which some people have by |
being STEPPED in crime. said you
could not shame them. If you would
try to convince them that they were
on the downward course, they would !
laugh at you, but when you spoke to
them of their boyhood days and the
old homestead, it would interest
them, but when you spoke of mother
and mothers love, it would affect
them more than anything else and
the warden said that he had seen
men STEPPED in crime at the mention
of mother, hang their heads in
shame while tears would trinkle
down their cheeks.
So a mothers love goes every
No woman or man can ever
forget the tender care a mother has
in their behalf; it never
ceases, and will go forward with
them throughout life.
To the whole world we would say
honor your mother, be she living or
dead. If living, no difference how far
you have wandered, come home and
bring her a bunch of white flowers.
