Show Mother Love Second Only to That of Cod The chief thing which crowns all trne motherhood Is her unselfish love. A mother's love Is eternal. It never dies. It makes no difference how deep In sin her child may go her love never nev-er falls. No one perhaps has more sccurately described the love of a mother than Kipling In "Mother O' Mine." If I war hanged on th hlgheat hill. Mother o' mine. O mother o' mine! I know who lov would follow me till Mother o' mine, O mother e' mtnel If I war drowned In th deepeat aea. Mother o' mine, O mother o' mlnel I know whoa tears would eom down te m. Mother o' niln. O mother ' mlnl If I wr damned of body and soul. I know whoa prayer would make ma whole. Mother o' mln. O mother o' mlni Only the love of the Infinite God above ns surpasses that of a true mother. Irving said, "A mother Is the truest friend we have, when trials I heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity prosper-ity ; when friends who rejoice with ns In our sunshine desert us, when troubles thicken around us, still will she ding to us and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate dissi-pate the clouds of darkness and cause peace to return to our hearts. God has given to ua many beautiful varieties of flowers. He has given ns many kinds of precious ore, but He has given us only one mother that we might treasure her the more." The ways of love and tenderness are never nev-er out of style; remember this and tell her so don't wait till sfter awhile. Let not affection wane with years I It waneth not for you. |
