MOTHERS’ DAY
By M. M. o.
The thought of a special;
“Mothers‘ Day" originated with;
Miss Anna Jarvis. of Philadelphia}
to whom the idea came when shei
was asked by the superintendent}
or of the Sunday school in the?
Virginia town in which her de
ceased mother had long been the;
moving spirit. to arrange a mea
moriai service. With the carry-1
ing out of this congenial and sa-i
cred duty came a realization oi;
the growing lack of tender con-1
sideration i'or absent mothers‘
among worldly - minded, husy.‘
grown- up children; of the‘
thoughtless neglect or home ties
and of loving consideration, env
gendered by the whirl and pres
sure of modern iife; ot the lack
of respect and deference to par
ents among children of the pres
ent generation; and of the need
0! a reminder of the loving, un
selfish mother. living or dead.
Thus the ”Mothers' Day" idea
came into the churches, and has
been expanded to include an out
ward demonstration of the latent
love and gratitude to mothers. by
a gift, words of appreciation. an

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON,
A Tribute To Mothers
“Honor thy father and thy mother that
thy day. may be long in the land which
the Lord, thy God, giveth thee."
Think you because that beautiful matronly brow
is silvered with the dews of Time, that the heart is
also grown old? Nay. apathy can never lessen a
mother's love! Though her gray hairs fall over a
brow all wrinkled, and a cheek all furrowed, there
is a heart still beating with a pure and holy affec
tion; a mother’s love! Who can sound its unfath
omable depth? Time has failed to do so, and eter
nity will bear witness to its sanctity.
Young man—love your aged mother. Her face
is careworn, but her heart is ever warm. Years of
trials and of sickness, perhaps, have stolen the fresh
ness of her life, but like the matured rose. the per
fume of her love is richer than when in its first
bloom. Washington loved his mother!
Young woman—love the tree of your existence!
Sweetness is yours—lavish it upon the aged form of
your devoted mother. Affection is a lasting debt
--one that never can be overpaid. Pour nectarinto
the fainting heart; strew her path with your most
grateful smiles; and smooth the downy pillow upon
which rests her palsied frame. Her dying lips will
breathe a prayer for your happiness; the world will
admire and cherish your devotedness; and Heaven
will bless you! Flowers of joy will blossom in your
path; friendship will ripen your harvest; and love
will crown your existence!
“In whose principles," said the dying daughter
of Ethan Allen to her skeptical father—“in whose
principles shall I die—yours, or those of my Chris
tian mother?” The stern old hero of Ticonderoga
brushed a tear from his eyes as he turned away,
and with the same rough voice which summoned the
British tosurrender, now tremulous with deep emo
tion, said:: “In your mother’s, child - in your
mother's!”
Love your mother! Yes; and the very ashes of
the sainted dead will pray for your welfare. A ‘moth
er’s love—a mother’s wealth of love —~ is so great
that the power of death and the victorioua grave
cannot extinguish its quenchless flame!
MY TRUST
A picture memory brings to
me:
I look across the years and see
Myself beside my mother's
knee.
I feel her gentle hand restrain
My selfish moods, and know
again
A child's bllnd sense of wrong
and pain.
But wiser now. a man gray
grown.
My childhood's needs are better
known.
My mother‘s chastenlng love I .
own. .
