don’t have so many words to use when they tell about what they have inside of them.

I think that all the kids who are doing so many things that grown- ups are tearing out their hair—worrying about are really looking for some- body that will have time to listen a few minutes and who really and truly will treat them as they would a grown up who might be useful to them.

You know polite—polite to them.

If you folks had ever said to me: “Pardon me” when you inter- rupted me, I wouldn’t have known what to do.

If anybody asks you where I am, tell them I’ve been looking for somebody with time, because I’ve got a lot of things I want to talk about.

Love To All. “A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERHOOD”

In a few days we shall celebrate Mother’s Day. That day marks the beginning of the observing of Family Week. The founder of Mother’s Day was Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, USA. Miss Jarvis’ mother died in 1906; and on Sunday, May 9th, 1907 she invited a close personal friend to remember the anniversary of her mother’s death.

She possessed a genuine desire to dedicate a day to all mothers.

It is not surprising, that by the time of the second anniversary of her mother’s death, she had won the support and interest of many people and societies.

Miss Jarvis was the missionary of the desire to honour motherhood, and many countries have been won to it, and people in nearly every con— tinent have dedicated Mother’s Day as a tribute to all mothers including

yours and mine.

Mother’s Day is a tender, sacred and beautiful time. There is some- thing so utterly appropriate and meaningful about this happy day.

It is a time of lovely memories and during which we are able to comprehend more fully the meagre measure of our gratitude to mother for what she has done and given us, and what she is. The harvest of her faith and devotion and sacrificial life will beautify the landscape of

your life and of mine.

Her consecration to her sacred calling — the tenderness of her love —— the genuine interest in her family’s well—being are living testi- monies of her graciousness and goodness, which are like benedictions and blessings to all.

But very often we do not always appreciate our mother’s love; nor do we consider her deep concern for our well-being wherever we go in life. The twisted times in which we live have done much to nurture thishattitude and contribute to the lack of tender consideration for our mot ers.

The cheap, thinness of our present_day living breeds the thought- less neglect of home and family ties. It is so easy and human to forget our loving and unselfish mothers.
