Some time ago I saw two pictures
to which I wish to call your attention. !
They were only ordinary photographs, such as you see every day, but each
portrayed a story one of happiness, the other of unhapplness. One was the likeness of a young mother holding in her arms her first-born, a son of a few weeks. At her side was the happy father. The fact that the God-glvea spark that had been buried in the heart of that mother had burst forth into motherhood could not be doubted. It has been said that this wonderful mother-love forma the hub of the universe, and projecting from it like
spokea In a wheel are self-sacrifice, self-control, hope, patience, truthfulnes. wisdom, forbearance, sympathy: in
fact, all the highest attributes of the
human race. As I looked at this picture I though I could see all these qualities written on the mother's
countenance. It would be impossible to describe the happy expression on the face of the stalwart father as he stood beside the mother looking Into the face of their child, ready to protect them and to help the mother bear the responsibilities of motherhood. We all reverence and love the name of mother, but the name of father Is Just as important in making the home what It should be as that of the mother. Below this picture had been written by
