“Strength and honour are her clothing; and
she shall rejoice in time to com^. She openeth
her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is
the law of kindness. She looketh well to the
ways of her household, and eateth not the
bread of idleness. Her children rise up and
call her blessed; her husband also, and he
praiseth her. Many daughters have done vir
tuously, but thou excellest them all.”—
Proverbs 31:25-29.
Thfoughout God’s word there walk before
us beautiful mothers whom God has enshrined
therefor our inspiration and emulation. There
are mothers like Jochebed, the mother of
MoS'esj and Hannah, the mother of Samuel,
and Rizapah, who encamped at the crosses
wherebn Tier sons were crucified, and Mary,
the mother of Jesus.
Here in this passage of Proverbs we have
a pen-iportrait of the ideal woman, wife and
mother, in which we may see the likeness of
our own dear mother and which represent to
all mothers an ideal for them to emulate.

Mighty forces for the destruction of men
and morals or for the construction of character
and civilization may be set in motion by the
mother’s care and training of her children.

A worttiy son or daughter, strong in body
and well-trained in mind and soul, is woman’s
greatest gift to the world.
The demure young bride, a trifle pale, her
lips set in a tremulous smile, slowly slipped
down the long church aisle clinging to the arm
of her father.
As she reached the low platform before the
altar, her slippered foot brushed a potted
flower, upsetting it. She looked at the spilled
dirt gravely, and then raised her childlike
eyes to the sedate face of the old minister.
“That’s a hell of a place to put a lily,” she
said.
It has been suggested that henceforth Berlin
be spelled “Ber’in,” because the RAF and 8th
Air Force have bombed the “1” out of it.
Lawyer: Anything you say will be held
against you.
Client: Betty Grable.

Diner: What’s wrong with these eggs?
Waitress: Don’t ask me. I only laid the
table.

At a recent fair in a small Minnesota town,
a Mrs. Peterson won the rolling pin throwing
contest by hurling a pin 75 feet.
In the men’s competition, a Mr. Peterson
won the hundred yard dash.
A Scotchman was engaged in an argument
with a conductor as to whether the fare was
25 cents or 30 cents. Finally the disgusted
conductor picked up the Scotchman’s suitcase
and tossed it off the train just as they passed
over a bridge. It landed with a splash.
“Man,” screamed Scotty. “Isn’t it enough
to try to overcharge me? Now you try to
drown my little boy!”
