For a number of years services have been hold at the Orpheum theater each recurring Mother's Day, but on Sunday Sun-day last the program and audience made up the most inspiring event of that kind this city has known.

There are some points that all can ponder on during this and many another day in the year. Do not take for granted that Mother understands under-stands your loving regard for her Tell her so, often. Let her know you appreciate her care for you, her self-sacrifices self-sacrifices and her unselfish devotion all through the days of her life. Thus will you in small measure repay her for that, or at least comfort her days. And if she no longer is here and you have shown her such love, then you can cherish her sacred memory the better, the moro graterully, and more sincerely."
