Christian Guardian, Toronto. 5 How much does the world owe to its mothers? They are usually thrust into the background while the men do all the great things, win all the applause, wear all the medals, write most of the books telling what they have done, and generally succeed in convincing themselves that they are in deed and truth "lords of creation." Of late years it is true that women have been coming more prominently into public view, but in most cases it is not as the mothers of the race, | but rather as fellow-workers, and | even rivals, of men in fields which | have hitherto been recognized as ex- | far removed in most cases from even | the women's suffrage clubs, the mo- | edge.

Is that mother sleeping with the sainted dead? Let us see to it that we hand down to our children sacred and blessed memories of just such untelfish Jove!

F. Nickle, M.P.P In his opening remarks he stated that it was a great pleasure for him to visit Queen's University and ad- dress the graduating class. It was also a pleasure for him to get away from Toronto for a day and as he remarked, "escape the terrors and traps of the legislature." In a jocu- lar way the premier also stated that he had the pleasure of a talk with W. F. Nickle on the way to Kingston. Mr. Nickle, he said, had not been con- ducting himself as well as he might in the legislature, but the premier added that after this trip, he believ- ed that he had converted Kingston's member, and that he woul be all right now, if he did not backslide. "This 1s graduating day,' said Premier Drury, addressing his re- marks to the graduating class, "and to you it is a great day--a day which marks the finishing of years of work and study.

It isn't only that the mother gives her time and labor to her children; she gives her- self, her thought, her love, her cease- less solicitude. And in these, mother- love resembles most the love of the Eternal Father. And as we celebrate Mothers' Day we bear striking testimony to the fact that self-forgetful love is not un- appreciated.
