Riegle in his tribute to Mothers said: “My Friends: It is a great. plea- sure and honor to appear before you on this program and publicly pay tribute to the Mothers of Am- erica. “Although Mothers Day was ad- opted in this country by a grateful Congress in 1914, we find that the fden, like so many of our customs, rests upon an ‘anclent foundation. Mother love antedates.the Christ- ian religion. Mother-worship with its own rites and ceremonies reach- es back into pagan times. The harshness and general painfulness of life of old times was much re- leved by certain simple and affee- tionate customs - which. modern people have learned - to - dispense with. Among these was a practice of going to see parents, and espec- ially the female one, on the mid- Sunday of Lent, taking for them some little present, such as a cake lor a trinket. A youth engaged in {thi§ amiable act of duty was said to go a-Mothering, and hence the |day itself came to be called Moth- ering Sunday. “It is a far cry from these quaint English observances of Mid-Lent to our new American festival. We can- not claim for Mothers’ Day an un- broken line of descent from the old holiday when English appren- tices went = “a-Mothering.” The modern Mothers' Day is perhaps the most concious and deliberate jeflort a nation ever made publiely {to honor motherhood and all that |it implies. There are only two sorts of pecple in-the world—men-and women—and all relations® between |these two are cleansed and glori- | fied by the idea of motherhood. The {idea of motherhood covers and |<anctifies all human relations.

All urged to attend the gentle chidings, of the best friend that God has ever given us The solicitude of a mother’s love for her lad is one of the richest boons life can offer. The personal intercourse between Mother and fon has a sacramental virtue in zuarding and shaping a boys’ course n life such as nothing else on earth can supply. Men are what their mothers make them. The mother in her office holds the key of the soul: and she it is who stamps the coin of character, and makes the being who would be a savage, but for gentle cares, a Christian man. A man who is known ‘to all of us once said: “It is more than'30 years since I'lost greeting. Whether pale or wan by study, care, or sickness, or flushed‘ with health and flattering success, | wa were sure we should be welcom- | ied there. T have seen a bird in its| | first efforts to {fly, leave its mnesi, |and streteh its wings, and go forth ito the wide world. But the wind | blew sit back, and the rain began to | fall, and the darkness of the mgm" began to draw on, and there was| no shelter abroad, and it squgm; its. way back to the nest, to take| shelter beneath its mother’s wings, | and be refreshed for the struggles| of a new day. The goodness: of a/ home, my {riends, is not depend- ent on wealth, or spaciousness, or| beauty, or luxury. Everything de-| pends upon ‘the Mother. “From a good home, and’ - reverently « used, flows: the stream of a good, a pure, and profitable life. A man never sees all that his Mother has been to him until.it's too late to let her know that he sees it. However, the best thinkers among men in all ages ‘have acknowledged the' su- premacy of the maternal tie, often ascribing divine attributes to her| surpassing tenderness. Benjamin| West said: “A kiss from my Mother | made me a painter.” To this'add| the words of the immortal Lincoln, | “All that I am, or hope to be, T| owe to my angel Mother.” §uch, acknowledgements can be duplicat-| ed over and over again from the| literature of all countries and all| times. Thus Napoleon said, “The| future of the child is always the| work of the mother.” “Let France| have good mothers and she will| have good sons.” | “I love old Mothers—Mothers with white hair, H “And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet, “With murmured blessings over| sleeping babes. “There - is quiet grace | “That speaks the calm of Sab- | bath afterncons. | “Sweet Mothers; as they pass, one sees again, ;‘Old garden and ald lanes.” | “This year, on Mother’s Day, we| are still engaged in a great global! war. We are battling with forces| that are trying to exterminate us. We are striving with all our might and main to preserve for all time| those ideals of freedom, liberty.and | justice we love. We are bending| every effort to make secure for fu-! ture generations the institutions | that have made this country great,| and which have made our people’ happy. We are determined to keep our ships afloat and our flag fly-| ing on the seven seas and in our| distant territories. Once again, we| are determined to protect the gig-: nity and sovereignty of our coun- try’s honor and the security of our people. “This war, with the help of our| allies, will'be won by the soldiers| of America.
