Kings' birthdays and the anniversa- ries of great victories are celebrated | with great rejoicing and display. | What king was ever deserving of as | much honour, or ever will be, as a mother? What victory ever brought | as much glory to puy uation as moth- { erhood bringe to a woman ? Yet this | one little day in the year, observed | by a few of the thoughtful and for- { gotten by most, is the only tribute openly paid to mothers. This year Mothers' Day comes on May 9th. Why not observe it more ostentatiously agd with more sincer- ity than in'the past few years ? Per- haps sincerity and ostentation do not often "go 'together, but let there be some outward sign of the sincerity at ony rate. Mothers suffer agoniea that their children may come into the world. Through the long and 383 | trying period of the child's younger years the mother's patience and care never relax. When In trouble a child turns to its mother for consolation and ald. When the whole world turns sgsinst & men, wWnen his reputation and his ciaracter have deen blacken. od by numerous and heinops crimes, bis mother will stick to him through thick and thin, in sorrow eid joy, in honour and in disgrace, from the highest summits of fame to the low- Chiesgo | este gutters of infamy, te the very "takes more (han s Dair of over- make a producer out of a non. # syndicate of ts is beldg" formed at To- for the purpose of financing & last, , 'What is the reward of a mother's devotion?
