MOTHERS' DAY.
WHITE FLOWER SUNDAY. A "Mother's Day" service was held by the Central Mission at the King's Theatre yesterday evening. Quite a number of those present wore a white flower in tiieir coats or dresses out of respect for the "mother." A printed placard on the platform bore the inscription,,"When did you write to mother last." An address was given by Mrs.. Blamires, who referred to the good influence of a mother's life, telling the story of a Scotch home, the mother's prayer, and the prodigal's return. She then contrasted that with some of the homes she had seen in London and in Wellington, where, the children grew up to curse the day they, were born and the mother who gavo them birth. This picture contrast was used to urge the sacredness' of motherhood. The love of a true mother was tho best earthly illustration of the mother-love of God. and the mother's call "Come home" was au echo of God's incessant pleading. Music suitable to tho occasion waj rendered during tr.ct evening. Mr. T. C. Newton singing "His Mother's Prayer," and the band plaving "Tell Mother' I'll be There."
