HARPER MOTHERS AND HOME *The love of home makes all the * world akin. In Xenophon’s Anabasis, which 1 once struggled through in Greek is told how the 30.000 Greeks under Xenophon who had followed Cyrus into the heart of Persia and, after his death in battle there, had fought their way back, the remnant of them, through terrible hardships find almost innumerable foes, went into transports of joy when they came within sight of the sea that would bear them home, cry* ing, “the Sea, the Sea!” And ’tis told how a homesick American turned away from the throngs of Paris and climbed to his garret and wrote the imperishable words of Home Sweet Home. Henry Van Dyke has written that it is “sweet to dream in Venice and it’s great to study Rome, but when it comes to living th< •re is no place like home.” And time would fail to note all that has been written in love and praise of Home. And home is where Mother is. And because she is there, we love home. It is not strange that the writer of the Proverbs writes of an idealized mother that her hu band doth •■fly trust in her and that her children rise up and call her Messed. And 0 mothers of today, daughters of the mothers of yesterday may you ever nurture your chil’'*n near your heart.
