T0 OUR MOTHERS ON MOTHERS DAY --.,,,..- On Sunday, 9 May, opportunity is given every man to do honor to his Mother or to her memory. Many take their Mothers too complacently. How sadly true it is that a man never sees all that his Mother has been to him until it is too late to let her know that he sees it. There is no language that can ade- quately express the power, the beauty, the heroism and the majesty of a mother's love. She expects no reward but the privilege of lavishing her maternal affections where the instincts of her heart dictate. Mothers Day is an occasion that should be observed. While the tender sentiments of a son for his mother should spread over every day of the year, this particular day has been set aside for the occasion, and each of us should make it unrnistai-:ably signi- ficant. Write that letter, enclose your church program, send those flowers, or per- form some deed of servlce as may Ht the case if your mother is still living. If she has passed beyond, then take the time necessary to recall her sweet memory, her deeds of love and sacri- fice that you might live and succeed. God bless you, Mother, 'for your matchless loyalty and devotion. When we have grown faint on the way, when friends have proven false and mis- fortune has overtaken us, it has been your love and the radiance of your fidelity that has sent us on our way, heartened and strengthened. And seen her careworn faceg She watched for him to come, and took The papers with an anxious look, But disappointment followed hope- She missed the one grand envelope. He stopped to chat with her awhile And saw the sadness of her smile: He fancied he could hear her sigh The morning that he traveled by: knew that when tomorrow came She would be waiting just the same. The boy who was so far away Could never hear her gently say: Well, have you brought good news to me? Her eager face he could not see, Or note the lines of anxious care As every day she waited there. But when he wrote, on lighter feet The happy postman walked the streetg ffvveu, here it is at ieet, he'd shout, To end the worry and the doubt. The robin on the maple limb Began to sing: She's heard from him. Her eyes with joy began to glow, The neighbors 'round her seemed to know That with the postman at the door Sweet peace had come to her once more. When letters bring so much delight, Why do the sons forget to write? i-io-9- GENERAL PERSHINGS ORDER ...,-.--- In the heat of battle in France in 1918. General Pershing took time to issue an official order to the A.E.F.. as follows: I wish every officer and soldier in the American Expeditionary Force would write a letter home on Mother's Day: This is a little thing for each one to do, but these letters will carry back our courage and our affection to the patriotic women whose love and prayers inspire us and cheer us on to victory. lil! -'V' -1 T 'IZ May Fortune smile upon you.
