culture and refinement.
We speak OF mother oak tree
because in storm. wind. and heat
she gives shade and succor 10
the weary traveller and low ami
mails and thousands Of species
and forms. The human mother
is the fountain OF life in the
home. in the community. in the
state. in the nation. and IN the
world. She gives life 10 all hu-
man beings who tread Gods
green carpet. She is the builder
OF culture. she is the cornerstone
OF the church: she is the founda-
ton OF the nation.
No people or nation. no world
for that matter. can be stronger
than the mother. therefore. ev-
cry safeguard and every ptotec-
ton should be thrown around
sincere motherhood and mother
hood will give birth to a stronger
and more understanding and low
ing nation and will ceaselessly
stand by and protect il and guide
il and see TO il that mans better
emotions get a chance 10 de-
velop.
The American way Of life in
the United States has been a
system which protects mothers
belonging to one race and ex-
plotting mothers belonging 20
another. In certain parts OF this
country of ours. motherhood
among Negroes receives no re-
spect or recognition. In other
parts. only in isolated cases Me-
gro motherhood receives genuine
respect and appreciation. but in
these same places motherhood
for those Of ebony hue is moth
ing more than loathsome tole.
rance.
There Is vast difference be-
tween pure respect to mother
hood and tolerance of mother
hood and this very evil is ore
OF the primary causes which re-
suits in so much discord among
the various families in the Unit
ed States.
Under one citizenship, mother
hood would be an impersoral
blessing for the mother and the
state alike. II would be impos-
sible for the Gold Star Negro
mothers 10 be herded together
like cattle il they desired 10 see
the final resting place Of their
noble dead sons who fought that
we might have a greater and
more beautiful United States ~
America. They could cross the
mighty deep as first class pas
sengers and visit the final resting
places Of those noble dead.
Under one genuine and honest
leadership. il would be impossi-
bic for a mother like Mrs. In
gram to be behind prison walls
and sleeping on felon's bed al
this very moment. The only crime
that she has committed was pro-
tecting life and property and her
greatest handicap was that she
belonged 10 the Negro race and
lived In Georgia.

Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadel-
phia thought of the idea Of
Mothers Day in May. 1907. She
arranged a church service 10
which all attending wore a white
carnation. The white csrnation
was later modified to distinguish
between living and dead moth
ers. Philadelphia was the first
city in America 10 observe Moth
er's Day beginning May 10. 1903.
The custom OF holding a festi-
val in honor of motherhood is
very old. II dates back in the
Western world TO the times of
the ancient Greeks who wor-
shipped Cybele. mother of the
Gods. She was honored with
rites in woods and caves. The
custom was introduced into Rome
from Greece about $50 B. c. on
the Ides OF March. The festival
Of Hilaria. in honor of Cybele.
began and continued for three
DAYS. The celebrations. however.
were entirely different from that
in honor OF the human mothers
OF today.
The Mothers Day celebration
lasts two days in England, Swed-
en-. Denmark. India. China and
Mexico.
Adoption by Congress required
donning of white carnations by
statesmen and raising Of the flag
over all public buildings. On
Nav 9. 1914. President Woodrow
Wilson issued proclamation de-
claring the second Sunday in
Nav Mothers Day "as public
expression of our love and rev.
erence for the mothers Of our
country"
Leaflets were printed in ten
different languages and distrib-
uted in different countries. A
passage from one Of the leaflets
read. "A day that has shown
that il has heart and living in
terest for all classes. races. creeds.
native and foreign born. high
and low. rich and poor, scoffer
and churchman. woman and child
10 Mothers Day observed on the
second Sunday in MAY.
The common possession OF the
living world is a mother. Every
one has or has had a mother.
The marvellous growth OF Moth
er's Day in a few years to a
rational and international day
can be attributed to the heart
and living interest il possesses
for almost every home and ev-
cry person Of mother loving
heart in this and other coun-
tries"
We should pause long enough
on this occasion 10 pray CRATE
fully and fervently for the moth
ers OF the world. our own moth
ers. the rich and the poor. the
great and the lowly, finally, for
mothers everywhere.
Motherhood is an endearing
word; IL implies much. Let US
contemplate for a few seconds
on the term and note its many
ramifications: We speak Of our
own mothers because Of their
love and fidelity and abiding
faith. We speak OF our mother
church as the one that guides US
and gives us Christian outlook
on life. We speak Of our Alma
Mater. the school that we grad
uated from. as our foster mother
