MAY 12. 1922 Mother’* Day Observance In J 906 Miss Anna Jaris of Philadel phia suggested that the second Sunday in May be observed as “Mother’* Day.” Miss Jarvis’ original idea was to mem orize the “home going” of her own dear mother. The idea, however, struck a popular chord and observence of Moth er’s Day spread. A little later Dr. Geo. W. Bailey, then the ptesident of the World's Sunday School Association, iss ued a call for the celebration of Moth er's Day. The pursoses of this cele bration as stated by Dr. Bailey were: •‘To recall the memories of the moth ers that are gone, their loving words and loving care, to brighten the lives of the mothers that remain and to help children, men and women to a greater blessing in honoring their fathers and their mothers. To recall mother’s prayers, mother’s dying words and the promises made to mothers by the big boys that still mourn her, and to stop and think a litt le of what she was in our lives and to our families Others who are blessed with their mothers still we think may show their appreciation by some deed of gratitude or love.” The provisions for the celebration of Mother's Day did not stop here. Early in May 1914 a bill was passed by Congress, through a request of the President of the United States, to iss ue a proclamation calling upon thegov nment offices to display on this second Sunday in May the American flag on all government buildings. The general public was requested to display the flag in their homes and other suitable places, as an expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country. This bill further provided that the second Sunday in May should there after be designed as Mother’s Day, and it was made the duty of the Pres ident to request the observance of the day as set forth above. The Mother’s Day Act was passed by both branches of Congress and approv ed by the President on May Bth 1914. On the following daj T President Wilson issued a proclamation directing that the second Sunday in May be observed as Mother’s Day in accordance with the aet just mentioned. The same day is observed in France as a fete sacred to the memory of Joan of Arc In 1918 President Wilson issued a special message directing attention to the patriotic sacrifices of the mother's of America, and directing that the seo ond Sunday of May be observed in re membrance of these mothers. Thus there has been a great recogni tion of Mother's Day, and surely there is no day which should be celebiated with more reverence than the one on which we show filial regard for the first and best earthly friend, our moth er. The white carnation has been adopt ed as the symbol for Mother's Day. It may well suggest the purity of a moth er’s love and the genuineness of her sacrifice. Christ is still the world’s best exam ple of a dutiful son. @hrist was essentially domestic; he loved the quiet atmosphere of the fam ily circle, and hki first miracle was per formed at a wedding, and it whs his mother who first pointed out the need. On the cross Christ's last thought was of the future of his sorrowing mother The strength of a nation is in its mothers. Women were never so militant as in the World War. Except for their hero ism and support armies could scarcely have been sent to the field and kept there when aent. All biographers agree in credit’ng Martha Washington with great influ ence in the formation of character of her noble son. At the deafen of his mo ther Washington paid tribute to her — “I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education which I received from my mother.” President Lincoln afrer becoming President said, “All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” Our mothers have understood even our failures and they have stimulated ue to new successes. The mothers bear the torch of life physically, intellectually and spiritu ally. A mother’s love is the quietest and deepest influence in life. The services of a mother would be called drudgery to the world, but to her this servieeis the most sacred of privi leges. May we not celebrate the second Sunday in May as the time for special honor to those who have called us into being and who have done so much for our lives? No day should be more sac red, no day should call deeper feeling of gratitude or for more of_thanksgiv ■ ing to the great and good Father than the day which has been so dedicated to our mothers. The one who has done most to bring out the best there is in us, to develope those finer elements of our nature, that has given the world the refinement it has, is mother. No man, however learned or renowed should permit the spirit of his achievements to so poison his mind, as to dull his sense of ever increasing obligation to his mother who gave him birth. No man in whatever walk of life should allow the depress ing perplexities or the enticing allure ments of his career to lessen his just estimate o fthe unsatisfied debt he owes to his Mother. It is a remarkable fact that almost every man wjiohas aohieved something worth while will tell you that he owes it to the influence of his mother. Some times he can explain just how her train ing affected his life and his character Often, however, he cannot give you de tails-he can only state the fact. A great man when he was asked, “Was your mother pretty shrewd a bout training you?” replied, “No! She didn’t train me she just loved me.” That was enough. And it’s enough for anybody. You don’t hsve to explain the tremen dous influence your mother has had on your life. Y T ou can’t explain it, anyhow. Just accept it, thank God for it and put it down as the biggest gift you have re ceived God thought to give to earth the sweetest thing in His almighty power, So pondering deeply what it should be for one thrice blessed hour, In fondest love and joy outweighing every other, He opened wide the gates of Heaven and gave to earth a mother.
