MOTHER THE TRUEST FRIEND Evofytne Should Qhssrva Day. .Amid the stern realities of life there comes to as all with the recurring springtime, ten der emotions i.f sadness or of joy evolved from the very es sence of oar being. It refreshes the best that is in as, when the blossoming year revives the memory of long ago, and touch es with either tear or smile a live chord of other days. We can then see through oar separ ate vistas, in the past a vision of some sheltered fireside, how* ever hamble, where the tendrils of our hearts are entwined. The loved ones of our youth are there and in the center, smil ing a benediction on us and on the playmates of our childhood, is the gentle face of our mother. Whether she remained to guide our wavering footsteps in the path of right or whether she is only a vague fond recollection reaching out to us from our iu fancy, the name of mother brings with it the most sacred influence in our lives. To con template! even in reminiscence the loving caress of one's moth er, resolves us all in kindlier feelings toward our fellows, and determines us to live better and nobler lives. No one can be wholly bad who sometimes reverts in memory to his moth, er for he knows that her love is unselfish and eternal, and that whether she is here or else where her spirit is watching over him, and the thought has a gentle refining influence. To reject occasionally on that far off image of a child at its mother's knee, back in the ear* ly morning of our lives, strengthens a people in the virtues which emanate from the hearthstones of the land and gives stability to a nation. Oar custom of observing the second Sunday in May as "Mothers' Day" is in harmony with the loveliest, happiest season of the year, sweet with the perfume of flowers and vocal with the song of birds and in loving recognition of the mothers of our country. here by designate ana preclaim Sun day, May 12,1912, Mothers' Day, and recommend that it be ob served by appropriate mention in church and Sunday school and in the home. Let those fafrvaway gladden mother's heart with an affectionate letter and some token of love and whether far or near let us each pay to mother our tribute of love and respect, and with kind hearts and willing hands lift her burdeds and make smooth her pathway along the years.
