MAY Uth, 1939 No. 5 m 6 t h e r 's d a y VI Next Sunday is M other's Day, when throughout this >AmP *io<in Continent we are all asked to espeoially remember " mnfhers. We, of course, can never repay all the love and affa'tion and self-sacrifice th a t have been lavished upon us,. i'nt if thov are still with us, we can a t least show by our rS 's that we arc not unmindful of w hat they have done for us. Qhniild they have passed on,.then our kindly thoughts of them mrl the stirring of memories of the loving face m ust make theni happier in the Great Beyond, unless there is no tru th in the religion we profess. . ■ , .1 The greatest and most unselfish of all human loves, the most powerful force in the universe, which asks for nothing but (0 give, makes heroes of the timid, is changeless recogniz- in(r mdthei' shame nor disaster, sees beauty where all men • see ugliness and good in the face of the world's condemnation 1-lhat is mother love. The fate of a nation rests prim arily with its mothers. As they are, so will in tim e become their sons and daughters. Our conscious lives begin a t our m other's knee, and to her we turn in oUr childish troubles, as to her we return in. our grown years when the world or sickness prove too much for us. And all know how often the badly injured or wounded pass with their niothei-'s name on, their lips. It is a very great tru st, and few indeed are and., have f - been the mothers'who have, not bravely lived up to ft. Let us honor them for it not only next Sunday but always. THE BURNING BUSH By Subadar ̂ ̂̂ The Americans and the B ritish are beginning to get quite friend­ ly, which spells a tough time for the yellow press, grown fa t by keeping them,, a t logger heads. I'believe that .the difference be­ tween the humor o f the .two peoples has been the chief tause of offense. Imagine, brother, the despairing look of an American as he reads some joke in Punch. To him" it's-simply n o t'th e re 'Oh top to be seen, which makes him mad. The Englishman is told an; American joke and he exclaims:' "Oh! really*̂ now,"" and begins to -dig-for--the-humor--like-'-a- dog- after- a rat which has gone to earth. He also does not g e t.it, becansent's right on ther^surface. along the line of route. If those persons who wish to avail them ­ selves of th is opportunity,-WHl kindly register the information required with the Hev. ,F. A. Ramsey, or the Chief of Police before .May 25th, iaqcommodation will .be provided.
