Why net make this and the succeeding years a succession of Mothers' Days? n by not wear our flowers in our hearts as well as on the la- pels of our coats? Let us plant in our souls and keep ever (resit not only the white of purity and love, not only t e red of present go$ deeds and manlike con- duct, but both the white and the red. Let us combine memory and present action to honor our mothers all the days of our lives. Whether we wear, on the second Sunday in May, the white or the red, we can on all days and at all times strive to merit the faith and love and confidence placed in us Ly our Christian mothers. We may not be able any longer to go to mother for strength, but we can seek the ONTARIO same Sours of Spiritual Power that sus- tained her all her life, We can best hon- *444414.or our mother by honoring her God.

Whe eas the IV, M. S, is an organ zation which has for its ob- ject the furtherance of the kingdom of God upon the earth and as we believe one of the greater t hinderances, if not the greatest hindrance be the liquor traffic. "Therefor be it resolved that we, the members of Huron Presbyterial affirm that we are unalterably opposed to all forms of control or regulation of the liquor traffic, believing that the c ly effective and righteous solution of the problem is the total prohibition of the manufacture a id sale of beverage alcohol."
