Sunday Is Mother's Day and will be observed in Athens by special
services in the churches, by individuals honoring Mother with gifts,
wearing a flower, with memories and other waya in which SHE will
be the center of thonght nad attraction.
Dr. J. C. Wilkinson, pastor of the First Baptist church, has
written for Banner-Herald rcadera a few paragraphs on Mother's
Day in the churches that are very appropriate. It Is as follows:
“Onr finest emotions are
stirred by the very memories of -Olt
Mother. Whether she be still
living. here or beyond, our
holiest ambitions are aroused
and our- aspirations energized.
It is therefore well that onr
churches should make much of
Mother's Day.
“The finest regard we can
have for Mother la to build a
noble life. Nothing less does
real honor to her. It is signifi
cant how many of our memo
ries are connected with relig
ious values. There is perhaps
no one mcssJge that would
meko a living mother happier
than to know that we had dedi
cated our life to the worship
and service nf (ini. For that
to her means the highest devel- • "B|
opment of our character. It is “
to be hoped that this coming Sunday may witness many making
each a public declaration In our churches in Athens. It would be a
fine message to send home- Most of our churches will have ser
vices appropriate to the day.
“It would bs a fine thing for the mothers to think' lisp of tho
fset that they arc now creating the stuff out of which such mem
ories will one day he woven by their sons and daughters. It would
therefore bo a great day for them to bring their ehtirch letters or
to begin their church .life in one of our churches. May our chil
dren remember us best by our religious lives and the values that
we pul first. This day then should be a dedication day to God
in." IslJIi mothers and children.” '
