VERNONIA PlJft’tD LAST SUN- Behalf of Inland Route Highway. DAY IN ST. HELENS 4 The spirit of our modern Mother’s Day has came down to us through the ages. • The custom of Mothering Sunday originated in pagan times. Among the ancient Romans a festival of the Hilaria or Mother of the Gods was held, when the people made offerings in the temple. The name “Mothering Sunday” arose from the fact that in the early days of Christianity a day was established when it was in cumbent upon children to visit their parents and their mother church, taking with them some gift. In England it became rhe custom among the young men and women who were occupied as apprentices or servants or who lived at some distance from their first homes to return_ for a visit on This was called this occasion, carrying gifts for their parents, "going a-Mothering.” In our own country this old custom was introduced by the __ Association, which was incorporated __________ Mother’s Day International by a special "act of Congress several years ago. The Association, founded by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, was formed to develop an interest in observing the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day, set apart for the purpose of showing our love and devotion to our mothers by remembering them with gifts and in various other ways. Moiher’s Day has become one of the largest church attendance days of the year.
