THE BUTLER HERALD. BUTLER, GEORGIA, MAY 10, 1984. tribute TO MOTHER (Martha Ray Turner) . tlme has brought us .once t0 the day that is set aside to " the most precious of all ,n ° cre ation, 1 pause in my hurry, " si(U , my work and make an ef- U * % show my gratitude and holy 5 t for those who gave me be- ' mother and dad. When I say- mho,. | can’t help but say dad I oi “old dad” is due holy respect Tam wondering how I can ever re- aV my parents for their watchings nineties, labors, toils, patience and Live T hnlk of the utter helplessness of ie long years of infancy, of the en- ,o ilependence of childhood, of the icessities and wants of youth, of ie burning solicitude of parents 1( j their deep inexhaustible love; hnk of the long years of unwearied ,11 of their deep and soul-felt de- ition to the interest of their off- ir ing, of the majesty and match es power of their unselfish affec- lons—and then say whether it is ssible for youth to repay too much ;e and gratitude for all this be- towal of parental anxiety. A father may turn his back on his iild, but a mother’s love endures rough all. In the face of the arid’s condemnation, a mother still L , 9 n a nd still hopes that her child ay turn from his evil ways and re nt; still she remembers his infant die, the merry laugh, the joyful out of his childhood; and thinking these, she never can be brought think of him all unworthy. And somehow my mind wanders ,ck to the story of Jesus on the oss ar.d how in His hour of tor- ent and suffering lie was deserted, here were the disciples. Where ere the multitude which had idol ized Him? Gone! But there was one whose fear of Roman soldiers and Roman laiw could not keep away— Hi5 mother. There is a lesson in that w hich to me is one of the sweetest in the Holy Writ. You today who are fortunnto enough to possess a mother, lift your uncovered heads to heaven and with a fervent cry thank the infinite God above for your blessings. Riches come ar.d go The friendship of friends, come and then like the will o’ the wisp on the marshes vanish into oblivion. The love of swet- hearts blooms like the flowers of summer and dies like the leaves of autumn. Even the unstinted love and devotion of a wife sometimes wilts under the cruel crucible of adversity and domestic misunderstandings. But the love of a mother is so great that no power on earth can swerve it from its course. From the time that mother holds you in her arms and long before your baby lips can frame her name—the first word many of us learn, until the grave draws the curtain her love will transcend all. She will stick to murderers, thieves, drunkards and vagabonds—be they her son. So today give her ,one thought for the countless things she has given you and will continue to give you. It has been said: “The purest al tar from which human prayer ever ascended into heaven was the altar of mother’s knee.” Mother, dear, my heart is filled with joy anil thankfulness today be cause I can wear a rtd rose for you. I am thankful to my Father in heav en that He has spared you to be with us on another sacred Mother’s Day I love to look at my mother’s hands.

They are not white and tender as they were in her youth. A sculp- I lor might not think they were fuir at all, but these aged, wrinkled hands ate most beautiful to me. I am sure her heart has been weary and sad many times, but these pa tient hands kept toiling on that we children might be cared for and be happy. Often tears fill my eyes as I look back to my childhood, I think how these hands rested not when mine were at their play. Such beau tiful hands! They are feeble now, 'V. E. DRANE DIES SUDDENLY Willium E. Drar.e, who for four teen years was principal of Columbus Sixteenth Street school died suddenly Wednesday morning at 8:30 o’clock at his home, nine miles from Colum bus on the Hamilton road. Mr. Drane had bn in th flowr gar den working among th flowers and there was no ,one in the house but cook, Allen Johnson, hearing some thing fall on the porch, rnn to the porch and found him dead. He was born September 27, 1882, being the son of the late William E and Elizabeth Butt Drane, pioneer Georgia citizens. He was a graduate of the University of Georgia, class of 1902, and had always been deeply interested in the education of the younger generation. He was married to Miss Luella Davis, of Meriwether county, in 1903. He was a nephew of Mrs. O. C. Bul lock and Mrs. E. B. Hornady, of Co lumbus Surviving him besides his wife Mrs. Luella Drane, are two sons Joseph Drane, of Tcnnille, Ga., and Edgar Drane of Columbus; two daughters, Miss Ruth Drane and Mrs. J. K. Bceman of Columbus; four sisters Mrs. Cecil Burt, of Amoricup Mrs. E. R. Jordan, of Ellaville, Mrs Love McMichael and Mrs. F. W. Lowe, of Buena Vista and several nieces and nephews, and time and toil have left their mark on those hands. Sometime when all life’s lessons have been learned and the sun of your life has forever gone down, I know full well those dear old hands will palms of victory bear; where crystal streams through endless years flow over gol den sands and where the old grow young again, and there you will meet your Master and hear Him say, “She worked—for here there’s rest.” It was my mother who taught my infant lips to pray. It was my moth er who tanght me to read and love God’s Holy Word It was my mother who taught me to love and respect and be glad when they would say, “let’s go into the house of the Lord.’’ Mother, dear, I have lots for which to thank you today. I am thankful you taught me God’s word, and to love His house of worship, and by doing those things you have planted in my soul seed that shall never die.

When first my eyes beheld the light And I began this earthly fight; T’wns mother’s love that came to me And made me know what I must be. Twas mother's touch that first I felt, When upon my cheek a kiss waa left; Then drew me closer to her breast And thanked her God that she was blessed. Twas wother’s care that thought of me When in need I chanced to ibe; With loving hands that never grew tired, She toiled from morn ’till even tide tide. ’Twas mother’s prayers that brought me back From sin and woe, and ruin and shame, She often knelt alone and prayed In Jesus’ Holy Name. ’Twas mother’s faith that God per ceived, And saved my soul when 1 believed Ar.d then began my life anew, And pledged to God that 1 would be true. The memories of what 'mother did, Have been to me a constant aid; Whatever my life may chance to be My mother will always be dear to me.
