Think of all the hours that she is sad and lonely, All her vanished pleasures living o'er again; Cheerful and contented will she be if you will only Kiss the dear old mother now and then. A Year of Loving Thought. “What is there down so deep But mother’s love will find it? Cover it over and hide it well, Neither with lips, nor by glances tell; Have you a trouble? Wherever it dwell Mother’s love finds it out. What is there up so high, But mother’s love can share it? All that is noble, ani good and true, That which enrich is and blesses you, What you accomplish and purpose to do, Mother’s love shares it all. Is anything too hard For mother to do for you? No. obstacles vanish, and cares grow light, Dangers diminish, and clouds become bright, tlurdens grow small, and roll out of sight For mother when doing for you.” When we said we would make this a “Mother’s Issue,” in honor of the beautiful thought of Mother’s Day, I had in my sub-conscious mind the pur pose to pour out in a tribute to my own dear mother’s memory all the pent up longings and heart aches of a year and a half’s loneliness and yearning for her lost kiss and for the love that always greeted me when tired and worn from the day’s grind in the office I went home at night. But each day as I have tried to write, the words have hidden away from me, and out of the depths of the ache and the missing her everywhere The Golden Age for May Bth, 1913 KISS THE DEAR OLD MOTHER. —Arthur B. Laughlin. CHAT When by Fame or Fortune you are proudly knighted, Let the dear old mother enter in your joy; See the aged pilgrim trembling and de lighted, At the world’s opinion of her boy! Think of all you owe her; seek to give her pleasure, Spite of cruel sneers from cold and careless men; While within your keeping you hold this precious treasure, Kiss the dear old mother now and then. has come the plea for words that could express it all. More and more has been borne dow n upon me the real ization of the truth that these verses above express. As a mother’s love never forgets— and its depths must be felt to be known, so must be felt the emptiness, the longing for one sight of her dear face, the yearning for her arms about you and the missing of a faith that never wavered no matter who else might misjudge you, before we can know what it all means to the heart. The every day effort to meet life as we know she would have had us meet it, and yet have to meet it without her love, her encouraging words, with out her unfaltering faith, and, great est loss of all, without her prayers, can certainly only be understood by those who have walked in the valley of the shadow of so great a loss. And then, as I realized my in ability to express the agony my heart felt, the picture of her unselfishness came to me and I seemed almost to hear her say: “Let your message be to others, let it help the living burden ed souls; I am happy, I would have you help those that are not.” And down in the depths of my heart came the echo—/‘How like her!” So much did the thought seem a part of her, that I found myself drifting off after the intangible, trying to grasp the unseen, wondering if in reality her spirit was near me —so near it seems sometimes and yet, the reached out arms fall back empty and waking to the real and the message to the liv ing, I come to beg each mother to get close to the real heart of her own girl, and the boy, as well. I have long declared that the ma jority of thoughtless boys and girls could be made to see the folly of the things they do that cause them to be so bitterly criticised, and which so often wreck their lives ,if only fath ers would be real men and mothers would be real women and get close to the inner life of their children by remembering that they were once young. If fathers would frankly let their mistakes be experiences of pro tection for their boys pointing out the follies and the sins which each parent knows, God does not wink at by call ing them, “just the necessary sew ing of wild oats,” we would in an other generation have no such stag gering crimes as the recent Phagan murder. And if mothers would lay aside some of their false modesty and begin from the age of nine to eleven - warn their pure innocent girls of the pitfalls nearest them, then keep their warning always ahead of the dangers, we would in a generation have no more of the awful conditions that we see day after day and night after night on the streets of our cities which make the heart ache for the poor, thoughtless girl who had worse than no mother. It were far better that many a girl be reared in an orphanage where real Christian influence will be constanly {thrown around her and instilled into her young heart than to be reared by fashion loving, careless mothers that feel their babies a hindrance to their personal pleasures, as so many of them prove by their actions they do. This making your child your “chum,” “your companion,” cannot be accom plished by fault-finding and indiffer ence, nor can it be done after they are twelve years old. tl must be be gun while they are tots about your knees and in your arms. God grant the fate of poor little Mary Phagan may wake the parents of our South land to the terrible responsibility rest ing on them. Teachers Also. And not parents only, but teachers, oh, so great a responsibility as rests upon the teachers of every land, ev erywhere, of whatever age, many be their pulpit. What a reckoning —how the question will ring out as we stand before the heart searching trib unal of God and answer as to how we have been “our brother’s keeper.” LITTLE MOTHER. DREAD OF AN OPERATION. N. Manchester. Ind. —Mrs. Eva Ba shore, of this place, says, “I suffered female misery of every description. Two doctors attended me, and advised an operation. I lost weight until I weighed only ninety pounds. I dread ed an operation, and, instead, began to take Cardui. In a short time, I gained 25 pounds, and feel as well as I ever did.
