triRT one, not in the sense that it wasn ' t true and deep before, put more so now because we have been down in the valley of the shadow with other mothers and seeing the suffer- ing of motherhood we realized as never before the debt we owe you ; and in seeing the joy of the niothgi ' as we placed her babe near her, we feel that we have glimpsed the holiest of holies, ' found the fountain whence comes that light that lies in vour eyes, found that your love is so true because it has gone through the fire of unfathomable suffering and came hack to us, the cause of it all, not with resentment or other dross feelings, but Pure Cold Love, the one love that can never harm us, the one love that makes us yours wher- ever we are, whatever we are, forever until the end. And to you, father, we bow, acknowl- edging our great debt to you, not only for your helj) in material things, but for the feeling of comradeship you have given us; for the lifts you ' ve given us over bumps along our way ; for the love you ' ve shown us not by words, f(jr that isn ' t your manner, but by the man-to-man feeling you ' ve given us, a feeling that has been in the undercurrent of our relations, but even there has been all powerful to guide us, and cheer us and lead us on toward our final goal. Man to man we ask you to judge by our after life liow much we feel we owe you, how deep our affection is for you, and ask you to feel that when our success is assured, for we shall succeed, that you were and are a potent ever active factor in the good that we shall do. To you, sisters and brothers we bow in evidence of our love for you and ourap])reciation of the love and help you ve given us. We have grown mentally and physically since we ' ve been away from you, and our time is crowded with thoughts and deeds of other ])eoi)lc, but you have a warm corner all your own that is and always will be sacred to you and yours. Last, but not least, to the friends back home, we how in token of our esteem for you and in recognition and ap- preciation of your many acts of kindness and the stimulating help of (nn- interest in us. May ours be the privilege to sometime repay you with evidence of our regard for you. I ' ' inally, to The Ciirl Back Jlome, whoever you are, and wherever you are, we bow, and, never mind the rest, you-all ; well tell Her that sometime maybe? C. C. Xoiir:.
