Debt to Mother
Hard to Repay
The debt which the world owes to i
the mothers of America will never j
be fully known, much less repaid.
Their contribution to the history of
freedom is one of those intangible
quantities not easily defined nor ac
curately appraised. Yet it lies back
of much of the worth-while accom
plishment that makes the history of
our country. Trace the careers of
men who bulk large In the building
of America and you find woven into
their character the influence of moth
ers who bad faith in their sons, faith
in their country and faith in their
country’s God.
We have come into a new age j
which grants to women a larger place
in the affairs of mankind. Some of I
the ideals associated with woman- j
hood have changed with changing j
times. We no longer Insist on that ]
measure of self-effacement thought |
proper for the women of another gen- j
eration. But no one can imagine a
state of affairs wherein self-sacrific
ing motherhood will not be exalted
or the contributions of motherhood
to the state not acknowledged with
loving remembrance.
Yet it is to mothers, individually
rather than to mothers Impersonally
that the devoted tributes of Mother’s
day are paid. One thinks of bis own
mother and, if possible, sends her
some token of his thought. He ap
preciates what other mothers have
done and are doing toward making
this a better society, but bis act of
devotion is to the particular mother
who brought him into the world, pro
tected him when helpless, inspired
him to strive, blessed him as he start
ed out in the world and never ceases
watching out for his welfare as long I
as life remains.
‘‘Men are what their mothers made
them,” wrote Emerson. America is
great because the mothers of Ameri- .
can men and women have been great j
Today we recall what the mothers of j
Washington, of Lincoln, of Grant, of j
Lee, meant to their generation. But j
we recall even more vividly what our i
own mothers have meant and still j
mean to us. And with full hearts l
we pay them tribute.

Motherhood Univertal
The dominating Impulse of woman
is motherhood, whether she bears chil
dren of her own or mothers another’s;
or mothers a community, a state, a re
form; or, in her interests and dedica
tion. mothers the whole world.
Tribute Paid j
Mother Love
(With a cup of clear, pure water from
the old family well.)
Here’s to mother, whose name If
music. And when that name Is on
my tongue life’s fretful fevers die
and I am cairn. A heavenly poesy Is
in that name. No name of princess
or of queen could mean so much to
me. Her ministries of tenderness
were as gentle as the drops of dew
Something of the Everlasting Mercy '
is In the nature and the name of :
mother. i
Your faithfulness by day was like ,
the rising suns of morning. Your vig (
ils by night and the watching stars ]
lit the skies. Unconquerable was ,
your modest and unboasting bravery
Y’our gentle services were as delight
ful and as deft as the gentle finger
lugs of the sunbeams among the
liliies. So unpretentiously you dropped
your splendors everywhere. And ]
like the apple blossoms of the Mav \
your spirit shed a fragrance all j
around. To your child’s eyes your
kindly face wag like a sunrise and
yonr voice was sweeter far than (
morning hells. Mother, on this holy
day of memory. It al) comes back I
again to me. 1
Here’s to you. Mother, who wak c
ened and watched wtiile others slept
while others rested you toiled on.
when others had forgotten you still
remembered, and though wearied wftf
the long day’s toil you bowed above
my drrtwgy couch arid rested me t<
sleep by that holy, good night kiss
I hear the soothing music yet of youi
sweet lullaby—"Holy angels guard
thy bed.” And I think, in answer to
your prayer those shining watchers
must have protected me through all
these after years
Much that I hoped and dreamed
is yet quite unfulfilled, but the light of i
your love has never dimmed or died '
Or here or yonder that torch divine <
In spite of darkness and of storm <
must shine forever on. The hand
that lit that Star of Love can never ]
more forget to guide, and hold, and (
heal. That Master Hand is master
of all shadows and of storms.
Here’s to you, Mother, in memory
of my cradle days, in memory of my <
childhood's days of play: in memory 1
of the after years of triumph or dia t
may; in memory of laughter, of la- ]
bor, of love, and In memory of those i
mystic days of sometimes strangely j
mingled peace and pain: here’s to ^
you, Mother, here’s to you. My mem
ory of you shall be lasting and long
And on this memory day ray full 1
heart is homing to you. I kiss your <
brow again today or fling a winged ]
kiss across the miles. Here’s to you. f
Mother, here’s to you! For you I j
give undying thanks and lift my t
prayer of love. Here's to you, Moth
er, here’s to you —Charles Coke j*
Woods, in Houston Post-Dispatch, j
Sunday in May
Given Mother
One day about 100 B. C. a rich
Roman woman was visiting Cornelia,
a Roman mother. The visitor was
show ing off her rings and her neck
laces and her other ornaments. She
had a great many and she was proud
of them.
When she had shown off all she
had. she asked to see Cornelia's jew
els.
Cornelia called to her two boys,
who were playing outside. They
came in and their mother put her
arms around them. Then, with em
phasis od ‘‘these" and “my,” Cor
nelia said:
“These are my Jewels.”
On Sunday. May 9, 1907, Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia told a friend
that she had set the day aside to
nonor the memory of her mother, j
who had died the year before. Dur I
ing the mouths that followed Miss
Jarvis told many persons that she
would like to see one day In each
year set aside to honor all mothers
She interested so many Phlladel
phians that Sunday, May 10, 1908
was observed throughout their city
as Mother’s day.
Miss Jarvis made herself a verl
table missionary In behalf of Moth
er’s day and the movement spread
farther and farther each year. By
1913 it was being observed in Eng- |
land. In 1914, by authority of a
Joint resolution from congress. Wood i
row Wilson as President of the ’
United States Issued a proclamation ,
for the Mother’s day of that year.
By that time Mother’s day was be ,
Ing observed generally on the second
Sunday of each May.
So— because mothers are like Cor
nelia, and because Anna Jarvis
wanted all mothers to be honored as
she honored her mother—Mother’s
day is now n treasured day of mem
ory.
Love Without Limit
A mother’s love ts the medium
through which we understand God’s, j
It will go to the deepest of depths to ;
save. Victor Hugo, In his “Les Mls
erahles," has given us a vivid por
trayal of mother’s love In the char
acters of Cossette and Fantine, and in
Ben Hur and his mother we find an
other Illustration of a mother’s love
without limit. There Is an old story
of a mother who left heaven to save
her child, and this is indicative of the
great mother heart of God manifest
In Christ.
Of All Things Beautiful
A faithful, loving mother stands at
the summit of the beautiful. Climb
the stairway of the beautiful, from the
purple cup of the violet through the
lily and the rose—from the witchery
of the forest through the rugged
grandeur of the mountain—from the ,
simple beauty of the meadow lake ,
through the silent majesty of the mid (
night heavens to a mother and her
child, and the feel of beauty are ever
climbing upward.

Recreation
The Cultural Center junior boys
won their first $1.25 baseball June 8.
This is the first trophy of its kind in
the athletic field that the Center boys
have won. The gift came to them
through the American Legion, being
given to the Legion to be given to
those teams whose entry was in, up
to date, and complete, before June 15.
Mr. Ray Feltman, an Omaha leader
among the kiddies, gave the ball. He
expressed the desire that the boys to
whom these balls were given would
use their best skill, deportment and
sportsmanship upon the field, thereby
reliecting credit upon the Legion and
the institution under whose colors
they served.
The ball will be used as a souvenir,
to be placed in the Center with the
names of the boys of the team at
tached. The following boys compose
the junior team, all under 16 years
aid:
Edwin Smith, George Starnes,
Marcy Williams, St. Clair Breakfield,
Johnnie Hodges, Elmer Washington,
Alfred Liggins, Valrie Johnson, Tro
lis Harris, Louis Harris, Delmar Dod
son, and Tommie West.
This team to date is the only color
ad team registered in the Legion Jun
ior league. Mr. C. A. Stewart, who
is an energetic worker at the Center,
is the manager of this team.
