" A Good Place to Trade " TRIBUTE TO MOTHER. Sunday is Mother's Day. Of the thousands upon thousands of words that have been writ­ten for this and other such days, none sur­pass in meaning- or beauty the following, written years a -;o by an author whose ident­ity has been lo.ts "Mother is the nano of woman, whether she bears and mothers her own children or mother the children of another, or the waifs of a city or the refuses of a desolation. "Call her Intuition, for she has the sense of future events. "Call her gcura e, for she is braver than the bravest of the brave. "Call her Comfort for even God could find no richer figure - "As one whom his mother comforteth, so I will comfort you." "Call her Sacrifice, for she gives her all - body, mind, and spiritj gives all gladly and weepin; only that, having given all, she has nothin ; loft to give. "Call her Pationc*, for, in her this grao has its perfect work, "Call her Forvivoness, Aye, call her Forgiveness, and into forgiveness blend the colors, the fadeless colors of unchaneeable- ness. She is "the same yesterday, today and forever." "And Faith - call her Faith, at last, and to the last - faith when all else fails and all others flee. "Intuition, cour . e, comfort, sacrifice, patience, forgiveness, and. faith - these are the seven perfect ports of mother love, mother love, which next to the love of Christ is mast sublime.
