Austin. Tex., Good Friday,
1912—It is to he hoped that the
custom of designating a day in
eat-h year as “Mothers Day” wiil
become a permanent one in this
State. It is a beautiful recogni-
tion of our best friend on earth,
and the official designation of the
second Sunday in May enables all
the people to unite in paying tri-
bute and expressing their love—a
love that all good mothers inspire
and deserve. Some of us' would
be better and feel more worthy of
the world’s honors and goods if
ovr sainted Mothers could be be-
side us and help us with their love
arajl advice to meet the duties of
the hour and discharge them pro-
perly. It is our Mothers that in-
still into our hearts the best prin-
ciples of our lives. At Mother’s
knee, where we used to rest our
little heads and receive the gentle
touch of her loving hands and ben-
edictions of her kiss and prayers
we learned the first great princi
pies of correct living.
I adjure all the men, women and
children in Texas to recognize the
debt of gratitude we owe to our
Mothers by rendering to them ob-
edience, respect and lovingly ob-
serve the duties due them, through-
out the entire year, and that all
join in paying them one grand
tribute on Mothers Day. It has
been said that the best preacher is
the heart; that the best teacher is
time; that the best book is the
world, and that the best friend is
Go<b—and all of these may be sum-
med up in the one word, “Mo-
ther.”
Mother’s love is our best friend-
ship and is
Like music heard on the still water
Like pines when the wind passeth
Like pearls in the depth of the
ocean.
Like stars that enamel the sky,
Like June and the odor of roses,
Like dew and the freshness of
morn,
Like sunlight that kisses the clo-
Like tassels of silk on the com,
Like notes of the thrush in the
woodland,
Like brooks where the violets grow
Like rainbows that arch the blue
heavens, ,
Like clouds when the sun dippeth
low.
Like dreams of Arcadian pleasures
Like colors that gratefully blend,
Like everything breathing of pure-
ness,
Like these is the love of our moth-
er—friend.
Now, Therefore, I, O. B. Col-
quitt, governor of Texas, do issue
this proclamation, and call upon'
all the people to observe the second
