There Is a close relation between Mothers and God. Some one ■has said that God could not be every where and so he made mother* Jesu* had a mother of all women, the most sacred. She was the connecting link between the human Chiist and his father God. Today it Is mother that teaches the child to know God and to pray to him. She is still the link connecting a child to God. She it Is that

The schedule culls for the release of one picture every two weeks to schools, churches, and theaters. o I Church I Forurnffil How did Mother's Day originate? The thought of a special "Mother's Day" in Sunday school and Churches originated with Mlns Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, to whom the idea ‘ante when she was asked by tile superintendent of the Sunday school In the Virginia town in which her deceased mother had long been the moving spirit, to arrange a memorial service. With the carrying out of this congenial and sacred duty came a realization of the growing lack of tender Consideration for absent mothers among woridly-minded, busy, g:own-up children; of the thoughtless neglect of home ties and of loving consideration engendered by the whirl and pressure of modern life; of the lack of respect and deference to parents among children of the present generation; and of the need ot a reminder of the loving, unselfish mother, living or dead. And thus the "Mother's Day" idea came into the churches aud Sunday s< bools, and lias been ejcpaneled to Include ati nut ward demonstration of the latent love and graiitude to mothers, by a gift, words of appreciation, an act of kindness, or a letter on the part of every body.
