BE TRUE TO YOUR MOTHER. r (Bv H. C. Godfrey in Mill Life.) ( We may search this wide, wide ;orKl from shore to shore, but we hall never meet an earthly friend ust like mother. We may hav-j riends by the score who are willing o stand by us, yet not one of them an fill mother's place. When we . ere weak and helpless little babes, t was mother who spent unknown ours of care and anxiety as she ten- j erly cared for us. When we be- } ame sick it was mother's tender 1 ands that soothed our aching brow, j J Vhen we strayed from paths of right j j. t was mother's gentle, loving voice : f hat sweetly called us to return, i ? Vhen sorrow and distress came to ! is and all this cold and pitiless world j urned it's back it was mother who jt tretched forth her loving arms and : enderly'embraced us. A mother'?, j* ove is ofttimes compared to that j 4 if our blessed Savior. It is an uniyin^c love. A mother will give her ife for her child. Boys and girls ilio may cfiance to read this, Is nother living? If so, obey her counel. be kind to her. Rarely, if ever, . ill she give wrong advice. Shs t 5 your best earthly friend. When * he has gone, you can never find nother to fill her place. Live a life hat will make her rejoice. Do not o against her wishes. Seek ever o cheer her tender loving heart. )isobedience to mother is one among he first steps to ruin and disgrace, lany a man has filled the drunkard's rave because when a boy he disrearded mother's advice. Many a lan has lost his life on the hang lan s scaffold because he departed rorn mothej's counsel. Many a man oday is shut out from society and reedom behind walls of stone and ars of iron because he heeded not nother when a boy. Many a bright irl has strayed deep into sin and disrace because she failed to give heed o her loving mother's advice. Dear girl and boy, let me repeat, e kind to mother, take her advicj oday. There is coming a time when ou will long for that loving hand o sooth ytfur aching brow, but it annot reach you. There is coming . time when you*will desire to hear lother's gentle voice speak forth irords of sympathy and advice, but las, it will be forever still. There 3 coming a time when you will long o see mother's kindly beaming face,. c ?ut ah, sad thought, it will have van - c shed. Mother cannot always abide ? irith you. Some day God will calt j ier from your presence. Then you 11 brill realize the solemn fact, that' c our best friend has gone. This is a known fact. Once I had , t , dear loving mother. O, how sweet \ 3 the memory. For many long * ears we journeyed life's pathway j1 ogether. But alas, this sweet union s id not last. One sad October after- I ioon just after the shades of night * ad fallen, God called. We gathered ^ wa11tc/1 U a??

If you wait, to place hem on her grave it will not profit, Ihe cannot appreciate your kindness c i death's silent sleep.
