But though the value of some ar-
ticles may be judged by the criterion
of silver and -gold others aro some-
times judged by the higher standard
of flesh and blood. 11 in order to
save your child, who had been grip-
ped with the pOisonons bite of a
dangerous serpent, you hact placed
your mouth against the bleeding Ups
of the wound mat sucked that poison
into your owd system, would you
not love that child more for whom
you wore willing to imperil your life
than if you had given to her a mere
offering of silver and gold ? Yes,
yes ! Of course you would. The law
is utdversal. The greater the sacri-
fice we make for our loved ones the
greater becomes our love for them.
This promise is granted. Where,
then, can you find richer, deeper,
truer sacrifices and therefore richer
love than thut exhibited by a wid-
Weed 1110ther tOWard her helpless
children ? Tenderly as you and I
love our children, does our love glow
with such fervent heat as does that
of the widowed mother who has toil-
ed and contrived end denied herself
for 'their welfare ? In order to
raise them she has to pay for thole
education auct food with 1115 price
of blood. Does not that young
Vacillation day, address mean
more to her mother, who perhaps
had to scrub for it as well as tam
together the wbite dress in which. it
was delivered ? So, 0 widow, by
your very sacrifices 1 see with what.
urtensity you love your children be-
cause of the self denial and the toil
you have given them By the very
sacrifices Which you have made for
their physical, intellectual ancl spiri-
tual development I congratulate you
upon the heights end depths and in-
tensities of yOtir maleenal affections.
