The New Hats for Men
Are Coming in
The Monmouth Herald
Monmouth Ore., Feb. 6, 1920
,4 Coming Mother's grayer
0 God I am going down to find a
little soul,' a ; thing that shall be
mine as no other thing in all the
world has been mine.
. Keep me for my child's life. Bring
me through my hour stiong and
well for the sake of my baby.
4 Prepare me'for real motherhood.
Preserve my mind from doubts and
worries and all fearsome misgivings,
that I may not stain my thoughts
withcowardice, for my child's sake.
; Drive all angers and impurities,
all low and unworthy feelings, from
me, that the little mind that is
forming may become a brave, clean
wrestler in this world of dangers, i
And, God, when the child lies in
my arms, and draws his life from
me, and when his eyes look up to
' (nine to learn what this new world
is like, I pledge Thee the child shall
find reverence in me and no fear
truth and no shame, love strong as
life and death and no hates nor pet
ulances.
God, make my baby love me. I
ask no endowments nor excellencies
for my child but only that the
place of motherhood once given me
it may never be taken from me. As
long as the soul lives that I shall
bring forth let there be in it one
secret shrine that shall always be
mother's.
' Givethe child a right and clear
mind, and a warm, free soul
. And I promise Thee that I shall
study the child and seek to find what
gifts and graces Thou hast implant
ed, and to deve'op them. I shall
respect the child's personality.
" I am but Thy little one, 0 Father,
I fold my hands and put them be
tween Thy hands, and say give me
a normal baby, and make me a nor
mal mother. Amen.
