As ever, adversity turns a man's thoughts to the one who is closest and dearest to him. Days of childhood trials, of youth's waywardness, and of manhood's affected nonchalance, all these are recurring thoughts to the man overseas, and the memories bring with them the fullness of the sacrifice which is common to> mothers the world over—the inborn mother —love which has always been and always will be the shining example of patient service to the world.
