/<« Happy Mother's Day

By DEEJAYNES Staff Writer Mothers . . . poets, songwriters and historians have filled volumes extolling their virtues and singing their praises. Each year as Mother’s Day approaches, millions of dollars are spent on greeting cards in an effort to tell mothers just howspecial they are. Although most people think Mother’s Day was created on the drawing board of a greeting card company, the idea of a day set aside to honor mothers originally began many years ago in England as Mothering Sunday, held in mid-Lent. Julia Ward Howe first suggested a Mother’s Day in the United States in 1872. She wanted the nation to observe June 2 as a day dedicated to peace, and lor several years she held an annual Mother’s Day meeting in Boston. Mary Towles Sasseen, a Kentucky schoolteacher, began conducting similar Mother's Day celebrations in 1887, and F'rank E. Hering of South Bend, launched a campaign for an official Mother's Day in 1904. The idea of Mother's Day is generally credited, however, to Anna M. Jarvis of West Virginia and Philadelphia, Pa , whose own mother died May 9, 1905. After her mother’s death. Miss Jarvis held annual memorial services and encouraged other sons and daughters to remember their mothers in a similar way. Miss Jarvis wrote thousands of letters to influential persons, and in 1912, a delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Minnesota introduced a resolution recognizing Anna M. Jarvis as the founder

of Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day received national recognition on May 9, 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution of Congress recommending that Congress and the executive departments of government officially observe Mother’s Day. The second Sunday in May was set aside for the observance. One of the best known traditionsYassociated with Mother’s Day isthe.wearing of a carnation. A colored carnation means the wearer’s mother is still living, while a white carnation indicates that the mother is deceased. An International Mother's Day was established as May 11. In India, Mother's Day was established as a memorial to the wife of the political and spiritual leader, Mohandas K. Gandhi. Many other countries also observe some form of Mother’s Dav. Adults across the country may be content to allow a greeting card express their feelings, but that is certainly not the case with children. Given their lack of available cash resources, they rely upon their imaginations to create the “perfect” gift for mom. Lovingly stored in attics, basements and bureau drawers across the country are unique (yet strangely similar) clay dishes,, construction paper flowers, seed necklaces and popsicle-stick picture frames — made and presented with the love of children for their mother. Poet W.R. Wallace has written". . . the hand that rocks the cradle . . is the hand that rules the world." If not the world, certainly the hearts of its inhabitants.

Missionary tour completed; Baldwins return from Africa

The Charles L. Baldwins, r 3, Syracuse, have had the great joy of welcoming their granddaughter, Julie, and her parents, Chuck and Debby home from Africa six weeks earlier than expected. Their early return from missionary duty in Mali, West Africa, was due to the need for Julie to have surgery. They spent six days at United World Missionary headquarters in Florida before beginning their furlough. The following story came from Chuck’s report on the many ways the Lord is working through the plane ministry. Flying in Mali, West Africa is tricky. Weather reports, when they come through, are often incomplete. Weather conditions are always unpredictable. Chuck believes only the prayers of folks who care brought him through one trip safely. When Chuck and a Bible student prepared to leave the village of Kenieba one morning. Chuck loaded half an hour's extra fuel and at the last minute tossed in a funnel and cloth used to strain gas. Both were things Chuck didn’t usually do, since usually there was no need to. The two men flew to the city of Kayes to pick up two passengers for a return trip to Kenieba. They were high ranking government officials by occupation and Muslim by faith. The weather was clear with no clouds in sight. As the Cessna 180 approach Kenieba, Chuck noted a weather change and a storm was apDinner < to honor mothers Mothers, daughters, granddaughters and friends will be honored by the United Methodist Wonen’s organization of the Calvary United Methodist Church in Syracuse on Saturday, May 11. at 6:30 p.m. at the Oakwood Park hotel. Members and friends of Calvary Church are cordially invited to attend this function which is held annually. Following the carry-in dinner there will be a time of special recognitions and a program entitled “As Time Goes By” will be presented by Norma Roose, who is a member of the North Webster Kosciusko County nutritional site. The Lois circle of the church, with Millie Shively as chairman, is in charge of program arrangements and decorations, being assisted by the Martha and Ruth circles.

proaching their destination rapidly. Chuck turned the plane around to outrun the storm back to Kayes. The fuel was getting low, the plane was getting tossed and the two officials were getting scared. The Bible student blithely observed, “Well, if we die, we will go to heaven.” and settled back to enjoy the ride. One glance at the Muslim gentlemen confirmed that they did not share the student’s confidence. “Hey, what’s the matter? You scared to die?” the student inquired. He immediately began to witness to the power of Jesus. In the meantime, Chuck watched the first tank register empty, but calculated that with the extra fuel in the reserve tank the plane would make it to Kayes without further problem. It did, and because Chuck had tossed in the funnel and cloth, they were able to refuel from the drum of emergency fuel at Kayes. Chuck didn’t know why he had loaded the extra fuel, nor why he carried the funnel and cloth, but as he recounted the day’s events his voice hushed in recognition of the foreknowledge and provision of a loving heavenly Father who answers prayer. Two men heard the gospel that day, possibly for the first time, definitely under trying circumstances. All four experienced God’s hand of protection, maybe because we prayed. WMS reports are heard by committee The executive meeting of the United Methodist Women Missionary Society was conducted on April 10, in, Calvary United Methodist Church, Syracuse, with Mrs. R. C. Tytler presiding. There were nine members present and Mrs. Tytler opened the meeting with the reading of a poem on “Power of Love” and a prayer.
