It is the first articulate sound we learn to ut ter, and all through life it calls forth the best and tenderest emotions of our heart. It was mother that not only gave us birth, but long and anxious were the hours she spent watch ing at our cradle during our helpless infancy, and she alone could sing us to sleep with her soothing lullabies. ' The springtime of our existence was made , flowery by her radiant smiles; she guided our wavering footsteps in childhood; at her knee we learned to lisp our first prayers. Her un selfish heart tuned itself to all our childish wants, and it was she that kissed away each swift-recurring grief. Her careful hand trim med off the thorns of wayward tendencies, and planted in our youthful heart the seed of every beautiful virtue. She it was that moulded our character, and laid the founda tion of our future success. To our early dis appointments she applied the cooling ointment of her cheering words, she was the ever watch ful sentinel to warn us of the approach of danger. And when later we launched our doubtful bark to sail alone through distant, troubled seas, her hopes and her prayers accompanied us, and though all the world turns against us, she will still believe in us, and will welcome back to her loving arms her wandering boy, her heartbroken girl. "A boy's best friend is his mother,' as the old song had it; and no less fortunate is the girl who still has a mother to whom she may turn for love and comfort. What recompense shall be mother's for her life-long unfailing devotion? Shall we put off paying our debt of gratitude till the slender thread that holds her here be severed, till the fluttering light shall have gone out, and she shall fold her arms across her unheaving breast, in that last, dreamless sleep, from which no vain regrets can call her back? Shall we not rather now while she and time are ours, cheer and comfort her by being con siderate of her feelings, submissive to her will, docile to her advice, obedient to her wishes, thoughtful of her needs, respectful in word and deed? Yes, let every day be "Mother's Day," and even then the longest life will be all too short to compensate her for the love and care sho lavished bo generously upon us.
