Canada' know a fine thing when we sée it, too, and so we readily accept this Sunday as a day "dedicated to the memory of the best mother in the world--your own." "0 Some folk are now trying to change "Mother' 8, Day" into a Family Day because they have the feeling that the observance is being: too - commercialized. Well, certainly other special days are beset with bet or Easter. Victoria Day for years was a day to 'get rid of a good deal of fireworks or to put on some sort of show, a day to get extra money out of people's pockets and it is still with us. It does seem that the quiet holding of a Sunday service in honour of Mothers could stand the strain of commercialism, It is" seldom that an excess of with diamond necklaces or Cadillacs. The few dollars that are spent on the extra tributes on Mother's Day are cherished not for .their pecuniary value but for the thought which motivated the spending. It is difficult to know whether this is being written as a mother or a daughter but since 1 am both, both angles will creep in, Being a mother brings so clearly to mind all that our own mothers did for us in their everyday labours and neverfailing presence, but since 1 abhor any thought of martyrdom or self-sacrificing mothers 1 know that there is no pleasure so great as doing for my own family and having appreciation shown in love and smiles, It takes so little to bring joy to a. mother, just a word, a smile, or' some sign that what she feels is important is taking hold in a child's brain. My small boy said to me the other day: "Mother, I've settled it in my mind." "Fine", 1 replied, "what is it you are working on?" "1 decided that I will eat cherry pie and brown bread." It was a great thing to sce him work on his problem instead of going around it or ignoring it. 1 have been buying white bread for him only, every weck and getting a different dessert when the rest of us enjoyed cherry pie. We smiled because his problem wasn't of much size in our estimation. It took a bit of thought and de- termination for him and'l was proud and as 1 thought it over I recalled something. 1 remembered that | nevér ate bananas until I was over twenty-one. Now, if 1 had had what this small boy has 1 would have settled it inmmy mind when 1 was eight and learned to like them all those years. He is a better man than his mother and 1 am pleased along with my amusement. Has anyone cver told you that if you don't carry on the best that was in' your parent's lives they have lived in vain. What a sort over and examine and then plant firmly all the good that they taught us and hoped for us inthe minds of our own children because we are the ones who justify the existence of our mothers and fathers and in our children is our only hope for vindication. It can bear thinking on. : "Being a mother is wonderful. It's work if you want to worry about how the house looks but if you enjoy sharing in the excitement of family growing up and learning to live, if you thrill at the soft sweetness of a new baby or suffer with a child who cant find himself, it's a great life. It is never always easy and who wants it to be for without" the depths we never appreciate the heights and there are always-high moments: in family life. is living; white if she is dead. May you wear your coloured. flower joyously, with great love next Sunday. May you wear your white _ flower with thankfulness and deep appreciation and the sweetest memories hallowed by the Heavenly presence.
