Clinton News-Record, 1946-05-09, Page 3THURSDAY, MAY • 9, 1946 ! INTON NEWS -:RECORD PAGE THREE' M'u^iVI 4 By "PEG" There are few verses which Kaye .That hs of course a story of child- hood days when dolls meant so much to ns, but as we talk to mothers we feel that the sentiment contained therein is still true. It is very, very seldom a mother's love ever fails her child. The most noted Mother in all the world was Mary the Mother of our Saviour, Mary, the husband of whom was Joseph, the son of David, had been informed by an angel that she had found favor with God and was to bear a child conceived by the power of the Holy .Ghost. He was to be called Jesus. From the time of the birth of Christ until He was twelve years of age we have no instances of His home life. At that time He went with His parents to Jerusalem to the Passover. As they returned to Naz- areth Jesus tarried behind them. When they had gone a days journey they found He was not in the company. They turned back to Jerusalem and there they found Him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors both hearing them and asking them fliAT/YE ��A� questions, Luke 2:46. In reply to the EV mothers question, 'Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us behold, thy father BIGGESt /w and I have sought thee sorrowing." He said "How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be CLINTON about my Father's business?" We can quite understand that it would be hard for Joseph and Mary to comprehend all the doings and sayings of Jesus. From that time until Christ.was thirty-three years of age and entered the ministry for. which He came lntg, the ,wQi'ld, we near tidth;flg of His-hontelife, hth we do know He was obedient to His parents for we are told that He was Without sin, Mary was a mother and she and all the other mothers of the world alone can tell the varied and anxious thoughts which come to them when. they realize that they are about to undertake the privilege and honor of motherhood.. As • a rule., it is with a great deal of 'joy that this,import- ant event is looked forward to but unfortunately there are times when the little one is not wanted. It must be a great relief when the all import- ant king or queen of the home has arrived, From then on it is the duty of parents to p so train their child that he or she will have the respect for them which is due to them. Children have no choice in the matter of com- ing into the world and sometimes it may be they wish they had never been born. They have-oftimes come into a home where Christ is unknown and where that occurs there canbe no happiness. God pity the unwanted child. The time may' come when joy will take the place of resentment but maybe by that time the life of the child has been spoiled." Many years ago mother's day was instituted. The real meaning of the woman who started it has long been been written which depict a true mother's attitude like those old verses we learned in our childhood:. "I once had a sweet little doll, deans, The ,prettiest doll in the world; Her cheeks were so redand white dears, And her hair was charmingly curled; But I lost my poor little doll, dears, As I played on the heath one day, Alnd 1 eried for more than a week, dears, But I never could find where she lay. 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 curled, Yet for old sakes sake, she is still, dears, The prettiest doll in the world." There's a rea- son—"More. people• tide on Goodyear tires than on any other kind"'. friTEAR H L462 lost in commercialism, but there are some sons and daughterswho pay p Y very little attention to the mother who has done so much for thein ex- cept on mother's day and then they shower her with gifts. How unhappy the dear old mother must be when she feels that she is practically for- gotten the greater part of the year. We see many instances of this neglect for there is no other name to call it. Yet how faithful the parents are to the children who have shown them little consideration. At thnes sons and daughters rise in the world, they have beautiful homes, their children attend private schools. Where are the parents of the couple? Away in some lonely place, probably the one has been taken and the other left and there they remain until such time as God calls one or both of them home. This is by no means always the ease. At times parents are used to their own little home and in spite of pleadings of their children wish to remain there, but the children can see that they are well looked after and as necessity demands, that they have some one to care for them. That can be a daily care not one only given on Mother's Day. On that day set apart for Mothers we can send a gift, write a Ietter, or have the telegraph company stop at the door with a message for them or better still telephone them. It .is surprising how mothers appreciate these things and talk them over with other mothers, Very much disap- pointed is the mother who has nothing like this to report and we can imagine people saying "Flow careless of John or Mary in not remembering their mother." In the majority of cases mother will do eveeybing she possibly* can to help their children, many of whom have their mothers to thank for their start on the Christian way, A child once asked his mother which of the characters of Pilgrims Progress sh'i ` liked best. The mother replied, "Why Christian of course, for he is the hero, " which `one do you like?" "Christiana, 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 like many mothers•[ 'Mete is nothing e'tcept . the; pati ienee of Jesus which can compare with that of a mother. As .little tots we cannot speak but how hard moth- er tries to find out what is the matter with us when we cry. It is no trouble for her to get up in the night and wait onus andas the little girl thought her ; dolly:the prettiest one in ,the world so mothers think their child is the most adorable and smart- est little . one there ever was and we would not want Pe otherwise. In all ages we have 'examples of how mothers have given their lives for their children and in recent months we have had ii,stances of where moth- eis have beep see'. e1 for life in ei leavoring to. save thsir children from fire. • • anothcr icss,on;whirh we can ronin '.coil the Ir en doll iirthe 't'c ,toy or girl, young man or we man. Is there any one besides our Saviour who will• stand beside a child in trouble like a mother. ' We must answer, as a rule, "No." Even at times when a father will forsake a''chihl, in the broad sense of the worrl, a mother will plead . for her, . She will stand behind any -member of her family when everyone else 'would cast then out to face the world :time. ' ' Let us just look back ever our lives. Beyond our.perhaps trifling gifts on mother's dal• what have we done to make her life ha en t? Seme of us must look back withsitaiue on our feeble efforts.

If our mother is Still with Us we can start right now to rectify the mistakes, of the .past,. Although we observe mother's day yet that should make us more anxious to try' to return to the mother who hag done so much for us,:some of, the many, many, sacrifices she has gone: thrnugh for us. "Sinl;e God could' riot be everywhere in the flesh, He gave tis our mother." Let us esteem it a privilege to' love and honor her as we should.' Who started me on the upward way? My Mother, Who cheered me on from day to day? My Mother. Who showed me how to live aright? - Who taught me how to climb the height? Who Jed me upward to the ;Light? My Mother.
