I found my poor little doll, dears As I played on the heath one day; ,Folks say she is terribly changed dears, For her paint is all washed away. And her arm trodden off by the cows. dears, And her hair not the least bit curl ed, Yet, for old sake's sake, she is still dears' The prettiest doll in the world. Although these verses are of course applicable to the age of -child- hood, when dolls form a large part of a little girls life. Yet how true they are to the age of Motherhood. Only a mother can tell the varied thoughts whioh come into her -rind when she realizes that she is about to undertake the privilege, or duty of Motherhood. On some occasions it is with agreat deal of joy that sae looks forward to the time when she can hold her little one in her arms, and plan for the. future. Surround- ings are pleasant and, financial con- ditions warrant. the additiona 1 ex- pense. The mother orprospective mother feels that she can thank God for. His wonderfulgift, the steward- ship of the child entrusted to her care. Then too a mother niay be willing and glad of the. gift of a son or daughter but anxiety to a certain ex- tent spoils the anticipation. It may be she cannot just ,see where the money is coming from to support and educate the child; her own health. may be another very serious consid- eration or it may be she feels there are enough-' little ones to care for. In the thud instance this event which should be joyous is looked for- ward to with a sense of rebellion. The parents cannot afford maid ser- vice and the advent of the child will mean the curtailment of the out -of - the -home pleasures of the mother at least; it will mean additional work which neither of the parents want. In fact the poor little child is simply not wanted. May God look with pity end protection on any child so brou- ght into the world! The time may come when gladness will take the place of resentment in the parents ives but by the time the child life may be badly scarred. Children have no choice in the mat- ter of coming into the world, The responsibility rests with the parents. If the child grows up and brings hon- or to the home how proud the parents and fainly are of that one, but the feeling in entirely different to ward them if disgrace or evil in any if its many amens is bis or her lot. In tunes of trail this thought should be well considered by parents. The -child is given as a trust from God and must be so -considered., What a terrible thing it would be for a mother to have to say, "Through my own fault I lost my child, Instead of making a companion of him I spent my time in worldly amuse- ments!" Thirty-two years ago Mother's Day, 'which we are to remember next Sunday was instituted, It was orig- inally appointed a day for the expres- sion of our love and reverence for our mothers!" How can we best show this respeet and reverence? Is it sufficent that en this day we should write a letter, send a telegram or a cablegram or telephone them?

In the majority of cases Mothers Would do all in their -power for those who are• privileged to call them by that name. Many children have their mothers to thank for their start on the Christian way. If for no other reason than that we should respect and honor our 'mother. • A child once asked his mother which of the characters in the Pil- grims' Progress she liked best. She answered Ohristien, of course, he is the hero of the story. The child re- plied "I don't Mother. I like Christ- iana best for when Christian went on his pilgrimage he started alone, but when Christiana went she took the children with her "What a beautiful thought and how applicable to many mothers! The patience of a mother is tome parable to nothing- else on earth. .When *e are little we cannot speak. We cry and with what patience moth- er tries to find out what we are crying about; , when we are ill she deems it no tropble to get up at any hour of the night to wait on us; as we grow older she is so ready to shake our troubles; if possible she will shield us from all harm. Was thereever a mother who olid not think her baby the sweetest and best baby ever, just as the child thought her dolly. The prettiest doll in the world?" We would not wish to see it otherwise and when there is a child in the home who has had a long standing illness of some kind how tenderly the mother cares for that one, not to the neglect of the others, but there just seems to be some power drawing them to each other. In many instances it is really pathetic. A mother was once driving into a near by town with a horse and bug- gy. She got .out to water the horse at the tank, and before she could get back in the horse became startled, and ran away. The mother) caught the bridle and was dragged along the road. A man ran out and stopped the horse but the mother was be- yond earthly aid. Asked why she did not let the horse go she replied "Look in the buggy." There peacefully sleeping was her Iittle babe. That story is characteristic of mothers. Time and time again a mother has laid down her life for her child or has gone through life terribly scar- red from trying to save her boy or girl from fire. As in the story of the doll, no nat- ter how far we wander away or how marred we become in sin, yet -we are very dear to the heart of our mother: Shu will stand by us when everyone else would cast us out.. to face the world alone. Let us look over the past year. Be- yond our gifts on Mother's Day what have we done for the mother who would have given her life for us? It is with shame that some of us re- view the past. I3 our mother has passed into the Great Unknown we can make no amendment for our neglect. but we can be kind to some one ekes mother. If our .mother is still with us it is not too late to rec- tify our mistakes of the past. Our duty in this respect is not for one day alone but it is for every day in the year. "Since God could notbe everywhere in the flesh, He gave 'us our mother." Let us esteem it a privi. lege to love and honor her as we should. Who started me on the upward way? My mother Who cheered me on front day to day My Mother Who showed me how to live aright? Who taught me how to climb the height? Who led me upward to the Light? My Mother. "PEG".
