James Whitcomb Riley. Sunday in May Given Mother One day about 100 B. C. a rich Eoman woman was visiting Cornelia, i Koman mother. The visitor was showing off her rings and her necklaces neck-laces and her other ornaments. She lad a great many and she was proud of them. When she had shown off all she had, she asked to see Cornelia's jewels. jew-els. Cornelia called to her two boys, who were playing outside. They came in and their mother put her rm around them. Then, with emphasis em-phasis on "these" and "my," Cornelia Cor-nelia said: "These are my Jewels." On Sunday, May 9, 1907, Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia told a friend that she had set the day aside, to honor the memory df her mother, who had died the year before. During Dur-ing the months that followed Miss Jarvis told many persons that she would like to see one day-, in each year set aside to honor all mothers. She interested so many Phlladel phians that Sunday, May 10, 1908. was observed throughout their city is Mother's day. Miss Jarvis made herself a veritable veri-table missionary in behalf of Mother's Moth-er's day and the movement spread farther and farther each , year. By 1913 it was being observed In England. Eng-land. In 1914, by authority of a Joint resolution from congress. Wood-row Wood-row Wilson as President of the United States issued a proclamation for the Mother's day of that year. By that time Mother's day was being be-ing observed generally on the second Sunday of each May. So because mothers are like Cornelia, Cor-nelia, and because Anna Jarvis wanted all mothers to be honored as she honored her mother Mother's is now a treasured day of memory. Love Without Limit A mother's love is the medium through which we understand God's. It will go to the deepest of depths to Victor Hugo, in bis "Les Mis-wables,' Mis-wables,' has given us a vivid portrayal por-trayal of mother's love in the char-rters char-rters of Cossette and Fantlne. and in Ben Hur and his mother we find another an-other illustration of a mother's love without limit There is an old story f mother who left heaven to save er child, and this Is indicative of the Peat mother heart of God manifest In Christ Debt to Mother Hard to Repay The debt which the world owes to the mothers of America will never be fully known, much less repaid. Their contribution to the history of freedom Is one of those intangible quantities not easily defined nor accurately ac-curately appraised. Yet it lies back of much of the worth-while accomplishment accom-plishment that makes the history of our country. Trace the careers of men who. bulk large in the building of America and you find woven into their character the influence of mothers moth-ers who had faith In their sons, faith in their eountry and faith in their country's God. We have come into a new age which grants to women a larger place in the affairs of mankind. Some of the ideals associated with womanhood, woman-hood, have changed with changing times. We no longer insist on that measure of self-effacement thought proper for the wpmen of another generation. gen-eration. But no one can Imagine a state of affairs wherein self-sacrificing motherhood will not be exalted or the contributions of motherhood to the state not acknowledged with loving remembrance. Yet it Is to mothers Individually rather than to mothers impersonally that the devoted tributes of Mother's day are paid. One thinks of his own mother and, if possible, sends her some token of his thought. He appreciates ap-preciates what other mothers have done and are doing toward making this a better society,' but his act of devotion is to the particular mother who brought him into the world, protected pro-tected him when helpless, inspired him to strive, blessed him as he start ed out In the world and never ceases watching out for his welfare as long as life remains. "Men are what their mothers made them," wrote Emerson. America is great because the mothers of American Ameri-can men and women have been great. Today we recall what the mothers of Washington, of Lincoln, of Grant, of Lee, meant to their generation. But we recall even more vividly what our own mothers have meant and still mean to us. And with full hearts we pay them tribute. Motherhood Universal The dominating Impulse of woman Is motherhood, whether she bears children chil-dren of her own or mothers another's ; or mothers a community, a state, a reform re-form ; or, in her interests and dedication, dedica-tion, mothers the whole world. fl T SAW Wf rf nrvMinc flowers, Muttering about like morning nours, fllKKl vl "VW'tlCCll Kavu l - THEY bloomed in gowns of fluffy white, . 1 Two big brown eyes were sparkling bright, Ah, they were such a dainty sight, .
