MOTHERS
(Each of us have now or hold in
loving rememberance, a glorious
mother. In our early youth mother
was all in all, but is it not a tact
that as we grow older we become
forgetful of her goodness and less
thoughtful of the happiness we
should be giving her iu return for
her tender devotion.?
This should not be a duty ser
vice but one of purest love, and no
matter how earnest are our efforts
we cannot repay her the joy and
pleasure she gave us during our
childhood days, Some one has force
fully said, “I would desire fcr a
friend, the son who has never re
sisted the tears of a mother.” ’TIs
only such sons that get the full
sweetness out of life, Permanent
success and happiness do not come
as a reward of ingratitude, disre
spect! and lack of affection for
mother. The reverse has been, is
now, and always will be true.
The same old-fashioned, sweet
mother-love must ever be the.
foundation for permanent, ideal
home life. Without it the structure
will fall and
replaced.
God bless
soul inspiring
inely human
love have given us our
Nation.
If you have an old mother, be
good to her, Tell her that you love
her; Kiss the faded old lips; Hold
in yours the work-knotted old
hands; Scatter a few of the flow
ers’ of tenderness and appreciation
in her pathway while she is still
alive and can be made happy by
them.
Don’t wait to put all your af
fection and gratitude and rever-
ance for her into a costly ton of
marble inscribed “Mother”. Don’t
wait to throw all your bouquets on
her grave, It’s mighty doubtful
whether an angel in heaven takes
any interest in cemeteries or gets
any satisfaction from revisiting
earth and contemplating a flatter
ing tombstone; but it is .utterly
certainly certain that you can make
your old mother’s heart sing for
joy by showing her while she is
alive,, just one tithe of the love
and appreciation that you can heap
upon her when she is dead. Contri
buted.
