May is the month in which the
second Sunday is given to the remem
brance of our mothers. On that day
a white carnation is worn for moth
ers who have passed on and a red one
for the living mothers. What a happy
thought it is to have this one day
when we consc’ously do things for
mother, showing her our love and de
votion. We are sure no one deliber
ately neglects his mother. There is
too much of a tie and too much sen
timent for her for this to be possi
ble. But many children grow care
less after they are grown and engag
ed in affairs of their own. They for
get that the homes they have left are
a little lonesome no\V, that they are
missed by their dear mother when
gone. A letter from one of the
children helps mother through the
whole day and for days to come. It
kee|>s her in touch w ; th lives that
were once very closely bound to her
own. Once her arms was your sup
port. Think of all the helpless years
her dear hand has guided you. She
watched you through man; lohely
hours. Never a friend st> true and
now iu her declining years, to her be
true, and think of her on that day
and write her. She may be far away
and please do think of her that day
for she often thinks of you. She may
be sitting all alone so sit down that
day and write. X.
