MOTHER'S DAY
Mother's Day will be observed by
millions of Americans and it right
that some special notice should be
taken of the day set aside to honor
the Mothers of the nation.
It should be borne in mind, how
ever, that the observance of a day,
once a year, does not constitute the
most appropriate or an exclusive
method of honoring motherhood in
general or mothers in particular.
There are men and women who na
turally revere motherhood; they do
not need a special day. They are
worried, for example, by the sad
plight of unfortunate mothers who
suffer unnecessarily in connection i
with the birth and care of their chil
dren.
Certainly, we recommend the ob
servance of Mother's Day but we al
' so advise that support be given to
agencies set up to assist mothers
throughout the nation. It is all right
to praise motherhood but the best
way to show praise is to make it pos
sible for all mothers to raise their
children in a satisfactory manner.
WILL WAR COME?
The probability of war in Europe
continues to engige the attention of
the American people. Nearly every
one wants to know whether there will
be a war and the answers are some
what conflicting. . .
Those who look for war assume
?.hat Hitler is bent upon establishing
a great German empire and that his
expansion will inevitably meet with
resistance, which will begin a great
struggle. Some even believe that the
beginning of war depends solely upon
Hitler's conclusions as to Germany's*
chance to win.
Another good argument thai
is frequently heard, is that the in
ternal condition of Germany has
reached such a point that the collapse |
is a question of time. This being so,
the argument is that before permit
ting such a collapse the German lead
ers will risk a war.
On the side of those who maintain
that no war is near, the argument is
that if Hitler and Mussolini had in
tended to fight the democratic na
tions, they would have done so; the
theory being that Great Britain and
France, through vast rearmament
programs,'are catching up with the
dectator states and that every week
sees them gain in relative strength.
Consequently, those who accept this
reasoning, say that if Hitler and Mus
solini had intended a test of strength,1
they would have taken advantage of
their superiority during the past six
mftirtht
Li. -J
Anotner use 01 uwugni, auvaiaw
by those who do not expect a mr,
is the thonght that the economic con
dition of Germany is so bad Oat it
would be hopeless for Hitler to at
tempt a war. Already, it is pointed
oat, there is a scarcity of food, as well
as raw materials. Gold is virtually
non-existent and the finances of the
nation seem hopeless. The argument
is that Germany today cannot with
stand a naval blockade, that she ean
notexpeet a short, guide and success
ful war and that therefore, knowing
' that defeat is certain m a long war,
the German leaders will not start to
fight'
So ran some of the argonauts in
the debate. Nobody known what is
going to take plaee in Europe. War
or peace depend wpon what Mr. Hit
ler determine to do. Nobody knowns
r what he has in mind. Gowequaatiy,

MRS. FRANCIS MARION DAVIS,
THE IDEAL MOTHER
God has decreed no nobler profes
sion in all fo* world than that of be
ing a mother. This He has dignified
and made divine.
Moving majestically in the sphere
of motherhood, we find Mrs. Frank
Davis, queen of the home of one of
Farraville's most successful mer
chants. As quiet and unobtrusive as
a benediction, she radiates love and
and far-reaching hope.* There
is nothing abqut her to mar the per
fect hanroay of her gentle life, not
a jarring noce in the whole symphony
of her living. She reminds us of Haw
thorne's characterization of Phoebe,
"She is like a prayer, offered up in
the beauty of one's mother tongue."
A soft voice, made melodious by
frw-oTwiwg accustomed to motherly
soothlngs and encuragement, is one
of her most impressive beauties. This
voice, the gentle touch the subtle, in
tangible, yet magic air that she car
ries about her permeates the very soul
and mind of those whose lives she
touches either daily or occasionally.
Tennyson pays his tribute to such
mothers as Mrs. Davis, when he says:
"No scholar, save in gracious house
hold ways;
Not perfect, nay, but full of tender
wants;
No angel, but a dearer being, all dipt
In angel instincts, breatheing Para
dise;
Interpreter between the gods and
men;
Who looked all native to her place,
and yet,
On tiptoe seemed to touch upon a
sphere
To gross to tread. And all men s
minHn perforce
Swayed to her from their orbits as
they moved,
And girdled her with music. Happy
he with such a mother!
Faith in womankind beats with his
blood, and trust
In all things high comes easy to
him."
?Alvada Gunn, a teacher of
* the late Dr. Francis Marion
Davis.

MY MOTHER
-
God fashioned her as woman, and sent
her down to earth,
For he knew of all her goodness, and
he knew of all her worth.
He was sure that she was needed;
- for of her kind there were few,
Who have such lofty morals, and
aims .so good and true.
He gave her to a family, that she did
truly bless;
And, to a host of friends, she always
gave her best.
She never was so healthy, yet cheery
as could be;
And, always passed on sunshine to
all she chanced to see.
But now her life is over, and God has
called her home,
Leaving us only memories, and an
example for our own.
Now, all of us have a Mother, or
someone who is fine;
To lift us from the sordid, and give
us the sublime.
So try to get a model that you can
live up to, "
Take all of their good qualities, and
add your own anew.
?Mary Alice Harris.
LITTLE MOTHER
Oh yes, little Mother of mine, how
faithful and kind you have been.
Through years of sorrow and glad
ness you would smile at us and sing
sweet lullabies.
We know Mother you are growing
old for your eyes are dimmer and
there is silver in your hair, but do
you think our love for you has les
sened, when from you we had W
part? Don't you think those days of
parting caused our hearts to ache?
How sweet your memories linger,
Mother of our childhood days, and do
you think we can ever forget the lit
tle prayer you taught us and the
times you tucked us in our beds with
care? <
How sad Life wpnld be without,you
Mother* Listen, kind friends, nave
you written Mother a line? If not,
do it now, for there is no better time.
Always think of Mother, who is so
true.
?Mrs. Roy Skinner.
