America To Her People
What do you fear, my people?
What is it that you dread?
Have I, your land, once failed
That you go with drooping head?
Are my kind fields less fertile.
My water courses dp"?
Have my mines ceased their treasure?
, Has the blue left my sky?
Lo, I have fires to warm you,
And trees to roof from storm.
My gentle herds, my cotton fields
Makes clothes to keep you warm.
My fruits, my vines, my gardens.
Yield foods to keep you whole.
No earthly gifts are lacking—
The fault lies with your soul!
Straighten your backs, my people!
Lift your eyes from the gray sod.
Give praise for what I give you,
And trust your father’s God.
—Anchusa.

I HOME DAY?
1 By Presidential , proclamation
(since 1914, there has been nation
wide observance of the second Sun
day in May as “Mother’s Day.” In
jthe opinion of some Protestant lead-
i ers, however, “Mother’s Day” has
lately bejcoine too sentimental an
[occasion and too concerned with
i honoi*ing mother to the exclusion of
! other members of the family. Last
jweek, a movement was underway to!
j change this. I
i Backed by the Federal Council of
ithe Churches of Christ in America':
j^nd the Greater New York Federa-i
|tion of Churches, the plan was to
celebrate the date of “Mother’s Day”
I as “The Festival of the Christian j
jHome.” This substitution w'ould au-
] toniatically further the honoring of
i fathers, grandmothers and others, on
j whose behalf many rather unsuc-
I cessful efforts have been made to j
' establish special “days.” i
j In the opinion of Prof. Samuel L.'
i Hamilton, chairman of the Federa-:
I tion’s Committee on Family and |
i Parent Education, w^hose group has,
I prepared a suggested program of
[worship for next May 12, the Home I
I Festival also offers “a fine opportu-j
I nity to get away from the romantic!
i sentimentalism too frequently asso- j
jciated with Mothers Day.” At thej
j same time, he added, the plan would |
permit “Christian use of the second |
Sunday of May for bringing into fo-|

,home in the Christian nurture of|
childhood and youth.”— The Path-|

**THESE Quality
Features aloxe
They desei've all the attention, all
the love and devotion that w-e can
give them.
Most people, when their mothers
pass on, have feelings of deep regret
for the omissions of the past, and
feel that greater sacrifices could
have been made to make their moth
ers happy.
The young people are full of their
plans and fun and ambitions, and
they never seem to notice that the
mothers are toiling and slaving to
give them good times. A mother will
go without new clothes and will go
around looking shabby and old fash
ioned, so there can be enough to
provide the girl with new finery for
some party, or to send the boy to
;olIege.
The boys and girls seem to take it
for granted that all this care and at
tention will be offered to them, and
they no more render thanks for it
than they do for the sunshine of
heaven or the fresh air of the sum
mer breezes. They seem to think
that the young people can spend
their lives in pursuit of their own
ends, and never give any recognii-
tion of all that has been done for
them.
It could be wished that many of
these youngsters could wake up and
realize how all this care is being
spent on them, and feel that they
ought to reciprocate by giving their
mothers pleasure, and making little
gifts at every possible opportunity.
It would be better for them to stay^
at home sometimes and do the work,
and let the mothers go off to good
