Show REMEMBER MOTHER Sunday, May 8th, will be Mother's Day. It is a pleasing, sentimental sen-timental custom to set apart one especial day in every year for the particular remembrance of everybody's mother. Very few of us ;;re so unsentimental as not to have tender and pleasant recollections recollec-tions of childhood days, in which mother was everything to us. She stood between the child and all that would harm it. She did not have to say, and probably never stopped to realize, that she would gladly give her own life, if necessary, to protect the life of her child. We have known of men and women whose lives have been wrecked by an excess of maternal devotion, by the reluctance of their mothers to let them live their own lives, free from parental paren-tal interference. But even those look back to their infancy with a tender devotion to the figure that stood between themselves and harm!. The greatest loss that may be imagined to anyone is one who never knew a mother's love. And the most fortunate are those, who have mothers whose pride and love watch them clay by day as they go through life. We hope that everyone who reads this will remember his or her mother with some appropriate gift, however how-ever small, on Mother's Day. |
