MOTHER

The second Sunday of every May is the Day of days, to girl, to boy and man—

the day to honor Mother

Nay, every day is such an one!

But Custom now, sets this one apart that essemblages, with song and story may

openly manifest that which lies deep within us all: adoration for the One human soul

who symbolizes Life and Love: Our Mother.

LIFE. To it we cling. We all but turn the earth around—to preserve it.

LOVE. The mainspring to all that is good, noble and enduring.

MOTHER! The embodiment of both Life and Love! We pay her homage.

She is spoken of, as the "weaker" sex. yet in the hour of peril we know she is

ever foremost among the strong. Fitting, then, this day to do her honor.

Let the Past, think of Mother as it did; or the Present esteem her as it does; what

of the Future?—Said Jesus, son of Mary:

" . . if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and

everlasting covenant and it sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise. . .

Then shall they be Gods! . ."—

They!—MOTHER, by the side of FATHER!—GODS!

Of all that tongue may utter, or pen describe,

That, is the tribute true:

Mother, Exalted Mother!—

Humbly, we honor you!
