AS THE EAGLE SCARS
BY UNCLE ABE

4 I remember q story which you
may have read. The children were
leaving school In a little town;
across the street stood an old rag
ged. bent woman with a stick In
her hand about to cross the street.
All the children made fun OF her
except one little boy who kindly
took her by the arm and helped
her across to the other side OF ihe
street.
The world is TOO full OF people
like those children who scorned
this dear old mother.
When you see plain old woman
bent, not tidy. shoes run over. un-
attractive In every way, put your
hand across your heart, breathe
deep prayer for her and kindly
remember that at some time she
was a wash woman. a scrub wo-
man. q mother rocking baby. a
mother denying herself for her
children, a mother out OF whose
aching breast has always come the
great of the world.
BE kind and loving TO all mother s
and maybe somebody will be kind
to yours.
Their lives should be filled with
beauty and happiness. What could
make them happier than to know
they had the respect and love Of
nation.
But the nation is made up OF in
dividuals and YOU must not break
the link.
True manhood is reflected in its
treatment of wohmanhool Treat
every woman ike she was queen.
AT her worst always remember
God made her a womao
Defend her, protect her. love her
and help her. She is Gods MASTER
piece tho she scrubs floors and
washes clothes.
Longfellow was right.
"As unto the bow the cord is,
SO unto the man Is woman.
Tho she bends him she obeys him.
Tho she leads him yet she follows;
Useless each without the other"
In these days when everything
is changing, let US cling steadfast-
iy TO the ideals OF that wonderful
wash woman.
