MOTHERS DAY
"A mother is a mother still,
The holiest thing alive,"
---Cowper,
Sunday, May 9, has been' designated as Mothers'
Day and of course it will be observed. With such a cele-
bration )s light to. be .unnecessary it is unfortunately a
fact' that sonic forget and if an event of this kind will •
bring them to a realization It will not ...have been in
vain. Father is a pretty good institution, He proves -
every day, and many times in every 24 hours, that he
is an important factor in' keeping the family together.
But it is the Mother who is the magnet, of the home
circle; she is the one to whom all graviate; her ex-
ample and words are the ones that mak the deepest
impressions and 'produce the best and most lasting re-
sults. One day a year given over to her is not enough.
She is entitled to a share of each of the 365. It ought
not to require a proclamation to effect that, let alone •
the one day that is so ceremoniously set aside.
Maybe, however, many sons and daughters who
have been too busy to give Mother a thought, or better. •
still a little attention, will have that impressed upon
them by a red or white' flower that will decorate the
coat Of a majority of us. As a result many a woman
who has brought children into the world will shed
tears of joy because' of the thoughtful deed or the
kindly word which may come from one who has too
long neglected her. It is a good deal better to give
Mother a day now and again while she is alive and able
to enjoy evidence of her children's affection than to
neglect it until too late and then suffer the pangs of
regret.
Mothers' Day is capable of doing a great good.
just the force of example that it is sure to inaugurate
will be productive of benefits.
