Oreaon. under the Act of March S. 1*7>. ^3$: • THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS." - George Putnam Mothers’ Day Vision Sunday is Mothers' Day. Lincoln often-times credited his mother as being his inspiration. As a mother gives the breath of life to her child so does she give vision to it. It is fitting that each and every mother should on Mothers’ Day receive tokens of love and respect and an escape from the dull routine of things. Mothers' Day brings into sharp focus the natural beauty of motherhood. So tense is our way of daily living that little time is allowed for weighing its possibilities. Mothers* Day directs our attention to our mothers and away from the routine of our family life, troubles and work. The tiny symbol of love offered a mother on Mothers’ Day is life itself to her. Lincoln's mother set into his being a strong sense of values. Lincoln was ruled by these same values throughout his historic life. The world felt and still feels the effect of this man Lincoln. The wonder of television has probed deep into the thinking of the people of the United Slates and has pointed out clearly how human are those who parade on the world’s stage. I-et. then, mothers take courage on Mothers* Day. If mothers wish a better world. Mankind shall reach glorious heights.
