The beat of men must ■sometimes resent apparent reflections on their manhood, their honesty and their character. It is deplorable that thin is necessary, that such affairs must occur. There is in the Good Hook a pase- .ige where the divine injunction is giv- .en that when one asks you to go a mile with you, you should go '.wo, and if one t<mite you on one cheek then turn to him the other, -It's a great pity that human nature can’t stand this tort. How few there atre on earth who would not, even tho ar. the throes of unger, drop their heads *n shame and usk forgiveness if tho brother so approached would present much a front when attacked. The world »* growing better, men are nearer akin to God than ever before, the bi other- hood of mas is n Ja'i'or cemented and W* world is moving onward to a com- ymmity of interest on a higher plane. Consequently the little things thnt .sometimes add little trials and troubloB li is the wearing of a white rose for mother T he ctnbl cm is most appropriate. immaculate purity suggests to us the holiest of life's relationships, love is purer than a mother’s? It contains no taint of selfishness. Both in essence and in origin it is something divine. It recoils from no sacrifice. It complains of no labor. It outlingers all lie oilier loves of earth. The father may turn his boy adrift. He may deny him the shelter of the ancestral home. He may disown him belore the whole world. But mother's love is spun of finer silk. In texture it is even more delicate than the finest thread in Penelope’s loom; but it grips us like the cables of the Great Eastern. The jears have sped since we knelt at childhood's altar to lisp the sweet est of earthly prayers. Some of us are bent beneath the weight of life’s fjurdms. The shows have begun to gather thick. The furrows of care are d rep. But we have found no holier shrine at which to bend tli^n mother’s knee. And the inlluence ol the fireside! Who can weigh or measure them? We are fitted to forget maty things. But there are some accents which ring in our ears Id c the music of silver bells. We hear them above the r jar ol the loudest cataract. On the darkest day they pour laughter and s inshinc into our hearts, and they are sweeter thin bugle echoes because they arc mother's. Who can equal the pies which she used Intake? Or rival the wonderful stories which was wont to tell on the evenings long ago, when she unlocked for us the realm of the fairies with the mystical | AllSWCP One Written Question key ul “once upon a time?” We have often wandered abroad in the harvest season, but we have scented no musk in the autumn fields which can equal in sweetness the memories ot childhood; and the reason is locked in one short word, “moth, er.” Enough. Whether she he here or yonder—among these blossoms of an earth ly springtime or beneath those boughs of fadeless evergreen—she is with us still in ten thousand hallowed recollections. Aye, wc will wear the white rose for mother. For when all the keys have been touched and when all the chords have been swept and when all the minstrels have sung, it still remains that the sweetest of life's lingering strains is the one which tells of her— And he who fares the best may say With him who fares the worst, Man’s truest sweetheart after all Is she who loved him first—The Georgian. What somP time to mingle with others, some time to Improve her mind, some sympathy and love. A horse thrives without all this, but a woman can’t. The farm home by right should for all be the most comfortable, home-like homo in the world. The men don't mean to be cruel or unjust; they Just didn’t think. I hope they can be made to realize that the women cannot work eternal ly overtime In the deadly monotony of the farm home without some recre atton—some fun. It la this never-end Ing grind—this unending round ol tasks, will wear the toughest nature. This steady grind of monotonous work acts upon the mind and works upon the nerves, bends the shoulders, puts crooks in the spine, lime In the Joints, brings gray hair and wrinkles before theli time. It robs life of Its Joys and sunshine, and drives the girls to cities and towns. INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB. The Great’Good Roads Movemeit.
