Professor Francis I. Walker, head of the English department in the New Trier High School, has recent- ly collaborated with his brother, Ferdinand G. Walker, a well known artist of Louisville, Kentucky, in the composition of a Mother's Day song wich has attained a wide popu- larity. The song, "Memories of Moth- er" has been placed by Lyon and Healy in their folio of mother songs and during the past month has been sent to all parts of the United States. On Mother's Day, May 13, it will form a special feature of the pro- gram at the Wilmette Methodist Church, and Mr. Walker has receiv- ed word that it will be sung in a large number of the churches in the larger cities . The inspiration for the song came from a well known anecdote of Lin- coln which Mr. Walker clipped from a newspaper several years ago. The story runs as follows. Just before Lincoln's mother died, she called her eight-year-old son to her bedside, and, placing her wrinkled hands up- on his head, whispered the words, "I'm going away, my boy, but 1 wish you always to remember that your mother wants you to be a good man." Lincoln's life bears witness that he heeded those words and never forgot the touch of his moth- er's hands. Mr. Walker immediately wrote a poem which was published in several religious magazines. Then the idea of setting it to music occur- red and, with the help of his brother Ferdinand, Mr. Walker wrote the song which in coming years will be sung wherever the name of Lincoln is known and loved. The words are as follows: By night and day I hear my moth- er's voice Calling across the fleeting years tO. me, Bidding my fainting strong and free Oh mother voice, sweet mother voice, I hear thy tender call, and I will answer thee. heart be Oft' in my dreams I see my moth- er's eyes, Eyes that smile back when vict- ory crowns the day, Eyes dimmed with tears lone and dark the way, Oh mother eyes, bright mother eyes, Your light is on my path, and I shall find the way. when Thro' all the years 1 feel mother's hands, Hardened with toil, still to me, Pressed to my brow would wayward be; Oh mother hands, strong moth- er hands, I have remembered all, and yours the victory. , my but softer 1 when ADVERTISED LETTERS At present prices food is getting to Gus Bank, be a good deal of a luxury.
