Mother's Day On Sunday last, May 10, was Mother's Day, dedicated especial- ly to mothers and set aside each year for children to pay their highest respect. They offer gifts to their mother. but the greatest gift appreciated by her is the af- fection and love shown her, a gift she will cherish in her heart for all time to come. In all walks of life, and in many places, families gathered together on that day to celebrate with mother. Looking back at its origin, it probably dates back many centur- ies, for in all ages mothers were honoured. Many times they have been a great help to nations, by giving rulers of countries a help- ing advice in their administration, trusting that a mother's prayer would enlighten them in their cru- cial moments to render just de- cisions. It is a mother who has spent many vigil hours by the crib, the cradle, or the bed -side of some sick member of her family, giving them the necessary care when most needed. And again in later years mothers will gather her children around her in her home to satisfy her desires. It is a mother who will give words of en- couragement when children are in despair, and helpless, interceeding divine restoration for their well being, and always ready to forgive and forget past grievances. For those who put Mother's Day in practice, we have the greatest praise for them, let no one turn down the idea of Mother's Day, which was founded many years ago, but rather let them remem- ber their mothers and Mother's Day, be they living or dead. If deceased have her in your mem- ories so that you can honour her in your daily prayer and memen- tos. Mrs. Ward Fritz gave a talk on Mexico and showed some slides taken on their recent trip. "Mex- ico is really the United States of Mexico, with 29 states. There are thirty million people. The Span- ish conquerors found a highly de- veloped civilization, but that is all gone. The War of Independence freed Mexico from Spain. Only eight percent of the land is till- able. There is much soil erosion." "Ninety-six percent of the peo- ple eople are Roman Catholics. One- half million are Protestants. The Protestants have a unique mes- sage of proclaim in Mexico." "Mexico City is very high, on a tableland. The temperature does- n't vary ten degres winter or sum- mer. The Aztec Indians founded the original city. There are two large volcanoes in the background, both extinct. The Museum of Fine Arts is a lovely building. The Un- iversity of Mexico was completed in 1954, and has 32 departments. The tuition is only $20 a year."
