" Oh, rich-fortu- I have been asked to speak tonight the subject of mother, and I trust that the spirit of my Heavenly Father may be with me, that I may say something that will be interesting and beneficial to us all. Every living soul feels to give praise ' where praise is deserved, hohor where honor is due, love where love is merited. Whom do we praise? Whom do we honor? Whom do we love? Not the sordid soul that lives for self alone. Not the one who lives and dies and leaves no trace of good in his pathway. Not the one who has lived his life and has not made the world bette for having lived. We praise, honor and love those who have devoted their lives to the service of others those who do some great good or leave to mankind some splendid benefit. We set apart special days in which to remember those who do these things. Then we exercise our greatest powers of oratory, our sweetest gifts of songs, our most inspiring strains of music in order that the feeling may be kept alive that memory may not die. The poets and musicians who have brightened this sad earth and brought us nearer heaven, call for our remembrance. Through patriotism and unselfishness, Washington made his name imortal. Lincolns great service to his country wil never beTorgotten. We hail Pioneer Day to 'praise the noble souls who did such great service in the making of our lovely Utah what it is. On Independence Day we unt si furl to the breeze our Red, White and Blue, while our hearts bum with patriotic emotion. Unfurl the roll of honor" and the names of those who bare labored to accomplish good for their fellow-methose whose lives have been spent in unselfish service will be revealed. Search the roll, there is not one name that has not justly earned its position. But there is one name missing. It the name of one who is far greater than all these others, one who has done much more useful service for humanity; one who hhs known the cross without the crown; the name of mother. Why is mothers name not there ? Is it because her acts are not conspicuous, or is it because there are so many mothers, or because she does ho startling deeds of greatness such as re achieved by the heroes of history? But her influence is supreme at the on n, flUj faith- fulness; its fragrance, her love; its wide field of growth, her charity; its form, her beauty. Bring them to her, place them in her hands, pin them on her faded gown or twine them in her silvery hair; kiss her lovely face; praise and honor her. If you havent carnations, send some other flower a daisy, a pansy; mother will prize it just as much. Press your flower, if she is far away, and let a loving letter convey it to hep. What a glorious truth, we ail have had a mother. What would life mean, without the memory or reality of her dear presence ? We are thankful for this priceless gift. How many of us stop to think how she went down into the valley of death that we might have life? How she nourished us at her breast and cared for our daily wants ? She was the ideal of opr childhood. Was there ever a change in mothers dress or the arrangement of her hair that we did not see and often speak of? Her life formed our childish prayer and taught us faith and love for God and his work. She was com-ra- d and friend as well as mother. Many hours have we spent together with our books and toys and games. We have all known a mothers sacrdress will do ifice." Her if daughter wishes a new one. I am reminded now of a story I read not long since. A track meet was held on the school grounds, when a young lady, handsomely gowned, took her 'place among her fellow students on $e grandstand. Her friends spoke of her as being the brightest in her classes and one of the most popular in social circles. The game was just commenc-in- g when an old lady, bent with age and clothed in a worn, faded dress, started toward the grandstand. She called this young lady by name; she turned, but seeing a figure so poorly clad, immediately turned her attention to the game. Soon a gentle voice said, Thats my daughter, but I guess she did not see me. The expression on her careworn face plainly told that the daughter had seen her, but did not care to recognize her. Posibly that dear mother was depriving herself of this worlds goods that her daughter might have an abundance of the joys and gifts of life. Mothers are taken too much for granted and are being slighted in this world Mother can always stay at home if the children wish to go. Can we not arrange to help her with the work so that she, too, may go. Invite her to accompany you to a musical, a play or a lecture; offer to stay at home and relieve her. Mother can always finish the work -if others -- are .. tired. Many are the nights she sits in the late hours, with aching head, to finish something she has been asked to do for a son or a daughter. Mother can always watch at the sickbed when others are weary. There BUILD ROAD TO Conference Announcement .
