Show I I SUBH1GH'S I I TRIBUTE TO tty- MOTHER .; rW ' Sunday Ms "Mother's Day" and among the contributions to the literature lit-erature In prulso of "Mother" is tho I following, which has been contributed in the name of the Child's Culturo club by Wendell Fitzgerald of tho Sub-high school: Mother. God could not be everywhere, bo ille made mothers. Mother! How much, this one small word means to us! To the world It expresses the superlative dogree of lore, devotion and heroic- g&csitlce, No ono can fathom the tender, beautl ful. undying love the mother has for her little ones. No one can comprehend compre-hend the fullness with which she gives her life to them Nor can one tell how many sleepless nights she has spent planning the future of thir lives. She uses her experience in selecting se-lecting the best conditions under which her children's characters can grow, even though they often think she Is limiting their pleasures and opportunities op-portunities She works for the happiness hap-piness of the home without complaint because she knows it will help her children Mother's arms are refuge we seek when the cares and griefs of childhood child-hood overwhelm us. We are suro tho hurts and bruises will be oalved with a lotion sweeter than honey. We are certain of comfort com-fort and peace in the embrace of her lender, loving arms. All our troubles trou-bles are deposited at mother's feel and she,, in her loving way, gives us strength to overcome them Trials and temptations are met and defeated when she watches over us. If a child commits a wrong, mother forgives and understands all. With her help everything is made right again. Our angry father may turn an erring son out of doors, but it Is mother moth-er who always prays for his return. Her heart Is ever with the wanderer. Mother risks her life for her loved ones, and how is sho rewarded9 Do we, her children, repay her for what she has done for us7 No, we cannot. Instead of showing her that we appreciate ap-preciate her efforts wo sometimes leave her to slave her life out for us, only to be forgotten in the end. Let us rather teach ourselves to show her our appreciation in every way we can. Little courtesies and kindnesses we can extend to her In dally life will please her and we may rest assured that our thoughtfulness will not bo forgotten "A child can raise no better bet-ter monument to his mother's memory than that of a clean, upright life, such as she would rejoice to have hlra live. This would be one way in which to repay the great debt. "All that I am, all that I nape to to bo, I owe to my angel mother," was what Lincoln said and all of us have reason to say the same if we but will. Next to our God, our mother should be loved and revered. She Is a messenger mes-senger of Him who is the guardian of tho Great Beyond Let us make outlives out-lives so clean and so noble that they may be a tribute to man's greatest, dearest and best friend mother. |
