roses of childhood's suuny past.
“When all the world is shadowed
And long seems every day
When faded flowers are lying
About your sunless way
O, do not fear, for you will hear
The voice of hope so sweetly say
.’‘Soon the roses will wake for you
Soon the skies be shining through
Soon you’ll hear a golden strain
When summer’s glad birds sing, again
Wait thro’ days that are dark and sad
Time will bring back the moments glad
Hope through your troubles and learn
to smile.
Wait for the roses. Wait awhile.”

for histrionic ability. The play was
rich in humor and difficult situations.
Miss Ora Upshaw rendered a piano se¬
lection with exquisite charm. Miss
Caroline Smith’s reading “The Mus¬
tard Plaster” was so realistic and
Making" that it called for another.
Miss Ruby Vining’s eurhythmic dan¬

\V. C. T. U. NOTES.
Program and policy of Hie VV. C. T. U.
The enactment of the eighteenth and
nineteenth amendments has opened new
anil larger doors to the W. C. T. U.
Much of its work in the past has of
necessity been limited. With the ad¬
ded power of the franchise, it will be¬
come still more constructive, with the
betterment of all humanity as its ul¬
timate goal.
Here are some of the aims for the
year to come:
L To mobilize a million members.
2. To help enforce the eighteenth
amendment.
By electing law-enforcing officials;
by encouraging officials who do enforce
the law; by giving publicity to the ben
efits of prohibition; by developing a
greater respect for the law; by showing
the fallacy of the “personal liberty”
argument; and by every other meth
oil in which women may legitimately
engage. responsibility of
3. To develop the
all women toward the obligations of
Christian citizenship.
First, as they relate to the home,
the town, the city, the state, the nation;
second as they relate to political par¬
ties and platforms; third as they re¬
late to local and national, social, ed¬
ucational and welfare institutions, or¬
ganizations and governmental depart¬
ments.
4. To promote the work of Ameri¬
canization Among foreign speaking
peoples. Americans
By teaching native-born
something of the wonderful histories
and traditions of races other than our
own, so that Americans may gain a
greater respect for their new neighbors.
By showing the foreign-born the pe¬
culiar advantages of American citizen¬
ship. especially
By teaching them English,
the mothers and young women.
By making clear the real significance
of the eightheenth amendment.
5. To teach the value of total ab¬
stinence.
From the scientific, social, indus¬
trial. commercial, national and spirit¬
ual standpoint, total abstinence is a
necessity.
It is the bed-rock of local and na¬
tional prohibition.
6. To proclaim the necessity for so¬
cial morality.
(This from the Augusta Chronicle.)
Somebody—evidently desiring to as¬
sist in the warning against drinking
the drinks which it may be possible to
unlawfully buy from law-flouting law¬
breakers—sent this in last night:
‘‘How about the bootleg goods in this
town?” asked the stranger.
"In what particular?” asked the old
inhabitant.
“Is it potent?”
“'Potent' is the word. A gentleman
of my acquaintance stepped out of a
theater one night during an intermis¬
sion and purchased a few drinks in a
near-by alley. Then he returned to the
theater.”
“Well, what is so remarkable about
that?”
"He didn’t know until the doorkeep¬
er kindly told him, that it was the next
night.”
The joke is a good one. However,
it is not a bad joke to contemplate
that, following the drinking of liquor
that is being sold these days, your
sight may suddenly leave you; or your
reason may suddenly be detroned; or
your heart stop beating.
“Mother’s Day” will be the subject
of the VV. C. T. U. May Day program.
. MOTHER.
‘Mid life's commotion—dismal fears,
'Mid cares and woes and floods of tears
How sweetly breaks upon the ear
Some word of comfort or of cheer;
Yet of our friends there’s not another
Who speaks as gently as our mother.
Here disappointments crowd each day,
Our brightest hopes soon fade away,
And friends long trusted oft deceive;
We scarcely know whom to believe,
Yet, though we fear to trust each other
We are not afraid to trust our mother
Yet here where there’s so much deceit,
Some friends we have we love to meet
There’s love we know that will endure,
Not sordid, selfish, but all pure;
But though beloved by sister, brother
There’s none that love us like mother
Among the names to mortals given,
There’s none like mother, home and
heaven.
For home’s no home without her care,
And heaven, we know she will be there
Then let us, while we love each other,
Remember and be kind to mother.
ECHOES FROM THE CHURCHES
Dr. Reid of Atlanta preached morn¬
ing and evening at the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath, “Cumbered with
Serving” was the theme at 11 o’clock.

MRS. HOLLIS ADDRESSES NEW¬
TON COUNTY WOMEN.
1 find that our calling this meeting
for this dav and hour has given rise
to the misapprehension that this is a
part of the Farm Bureau movement.
I wish to correct that misapprehension.
This meeting was called coincidentally
with the Farm Bureau meeting for
this reason: Many of the ladies in the
different parts of the county do not
drive their own cars, and consequent¬
ly find it more convenient to come to
Covington when their husbands come;
and we thought that the combination
of “first Tuesday” and Farm Bureau
might prove attractive to so many of
the men that more of the ladies might
get to come too. I should like to say
just here that i am in full sympathy
with the Farm Bureau movement
and shall be glad to help it in anv
way 1 can. If the federation after it
is organized wishes to take up that
line of work, it will have full and com¬
plete liberty to do so. The federation
will have the choipe of its own activ¬
ities, But the Farm Bureau is not
the main issue; nor is it the source of
our origin and inspiration.
We do owe the origin and inspir.v
tion of this meeting to the Georgia
Federation of Women’s Clubs—a great
organization that is striving zealously
for the enlightenment and uplifting of
all within reach of its influence. That
great sisterhood, having experience!
the strength and joy and more con¬
crete benefits of union, is holding out
helpful hands to the smaller clubs
everywhere, is trying to help them
sense their potentialities, and to de¬
velop their resources of power and
growth.
It is said that a scientist can take
a drop of water and from its analysis
can prostulate not only the great riv¬
ers and mighty ocean, but the entire
earth: that one small drop contains
traces of all the elements God has
used in making this great globe we
live upon.
That is a more or less appropriate
symbol of our women's clubs: even the
smallest and weakest of them contain
some measure of the essentials and
potentials that are manifest in the
greatest of them: and as in the case
of the elements in the drop of water
chemical cotact is needful to make the
useful combinations, so in our human
relations, physical and mental contact
is indispensable in producing the most
desirable results. One of the out¬
growths of this thought of dynamic
contact has been the plan to unite the
small clubs of each county into a coun¬
ty federation: and it is to make a de¬
cision about this that we women of
Newton county are assembled here
this morning.
We asked the question, and later it
was asked of us: What are the spec¬
ific objects of such a federation? We
have had to make our own answer, and
in part it is this: To promote acquain¬
tance and friendly intercourse between
the different sections of our county; to
profit by mutual counsel; to learn to
work in harmony for the upbuilding of
the county as a whole, and each com¬
munity in particular; and to strength
en ourselves by union and organiza¬
tion as to make our influence and ser¬
vice of their highest value to to our
time and place.
Particularly do we women want to
take up all matters pertaining to the
home—a big undertaking, some one
will say, since ‘home” is not bounded
by the four walls of the house, but only
by the Timits of this great country
of ours. True: but we won’t try reach¬
ing out too far yet. For some time to
come our heads and hands and hearts
will be more than full with the prob¬
lems right around us.
We want to work toward sanitation,
conservation, education. We want to
look forward to medical inspection in
our schools; to securing a county nurse
to all branches of child welfare for the
children are our most important “crop”
and consideration.
We want to specialize in all branches
of community service. One of the
brightest young men in the county said
to me a short time ago, !‘Mrs. Hollis
I would love to help in community
service work, but I don’t know how.”
The answer to that is, none of us
know how. We are all working in
the dark, trying to find foothold to
take a step forward.. When I repeated
this afterward to one of our brightest
women, she cheered my heart by say¬
ing. “That’s exactly one great reason
why we need the federation, to put
our heads together to find the way;
and to put our strength together to
work it out.”
In the interest of this movement I
have visited almost every club centre
in the county. I think I should tell
you just here how my co-worker, Mrs.
Henry Adams, and 1 have shared the
work. Mrs. Adams' family affairs
made it impossible for her to be away
from home; so we discussed the matter
and agreed that I should do the out¬
side skirmishing, and she should stay
at home and pray for me. Every¬
where I went 1 found the ladies ready
to take a cordial interest in the idea
of federating. And many who are not
with us in body here today, are with
us in spirit, and will help the work In
every way possible. stand'

MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION
SUNDAY, MAY 8. i
All days are Mother’s Days, but one
day has been especially set apart as
Mother’s Day, and to be nationally ob¬
served in our own country, and in four¬
teen other countries In our civilized
world, and so Mother’s Day each year
is celebrated on the second Sundav In
May.
Mother’s Day was first conceived
by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia,
who after losing her own mother, was
so grief stricken that she decided to
get at least the people of her own city
to set apart one day each year to be
known as Mother’s Day.
Is it to be wondered at, that not
only the people of Philadelphia, hut j
of the state of Pennsylvania, and even
our whole America and fourteen other
countries so eagerly welcomed the op¬
portunity to pay tribute to God’s great¬
est gift to man.
Napoleon, when asked many years
ago what was France’s greatest need,
answered without hesitation, ’Moth¬
ers.” This is true today over the wide
world—for since God placed Eve in the
home and gave her the privilege of be- j
ing the mother of the living He has
never tried to improve on Mother—for,
she is the perfection of civilization—
she is the most beautiful and valuable
of all of natures productions— for in
her office of motherhood she holds the
key of the soul, of even the unborn.
And as we near the day, which we so
gladly celebrate as Mother’s Day, may
we renew- our vows of love and devotion
to the greatest gift God has given us,
and if the beckoning hands of our own
precious mothers are calling to us
from a better world, let’s make some
lonely mother happy by giving her
the love and honor we would pay o |il ‘;
own. and which she would miss if "'f
were to fail to do our part.
She stands supreme, of all God’s cre¬
ations, manhood
To lighten the path that
must trod; moonlights
Sing of your roses, and
and rainbows—
But Mother’s the masterpiece of
God!
Did the Strap Break, Louie?
A little tulle,"
A yard of silk,
A little skin.
As w r hite as milk.
A little strap—
How dare she berathe?
A little cough—
Good evening, Eve!
