day set apart to commemorate and
pay tribute to th« honor and memory
of "Mother" the sweetest word by

I honor the memory of our mothers,
not only one day in the year but 365
We hold and stand on the fun-
damental and scriptural truth that
our poor old neglected "Dads" art at
least justly entitled to a minimum
share of the tribute being handed
around to our dear sweet precious;
