Mothers’ Dav was observed at
Salem last Sunday. A very im
pressive sermon was delivered by
the pastor, Rev. H. V. Adamson.
He used for bis text, “Behold Thy
Mother.” At the close of the ser
vice the choir sang, “Tell Mother
I’ll Be There,” which was very
touching indeed
The clouds are dark and gloomy
over our land today, but let us
remember that behind the clouds
the sun is shining, and after a
while it will bre,ak forth in all its
beauty and brightness and we will
be doubly repaid if we will oniy
hold on. The only ambition of
our life is to live now to try in our
feeble way pray for our boys.
We never felt the need of prayer
so much in our life. But if it is
for our good and Christ’s sake, we
are willing to take the chastise
ment. Though He slay me yet
will 1 trust Him. D -ar reader, we
have no idea sf' giving up. We
are more determined now than,
ever before to press on. Some
times we find ours-' Ives pleading,
oh, Lord, if You’ll just grant us
this favor we will be contented
the rest of our life on the crumbs.
