We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. —James Madison |

A Perfect Mother's Day Gift!
This is a difficult
age to be a woman. The woman who aspires to raise children
for the glory of God, to develop the ministry of the home,
or to co-labor with her husband is deemed “old-fashioned” or
“unfulfilled.” The modern lure of independence and career
has bewitched an entire generation to exchange the beauty of
Christian womanhood for the temporary enticements of a
society at war with the family.

This week's prize is the
DVD "Charles
Colson On God And Government"
In 1914, House Joint Resolution
263 was passed
and on May 8th, this U.S. President signed the resolution
instituting Mother's Day as the second Sunday in May. The founder
of Mother's Day was Anna Jarvis (1864-1948), whose mother had died
on May 9, 1905. Jarvis' mother, Anna Maria Reeves Jarvis (1832-1905)
had been a pillar of the local community. Her life revolved around
the Andrews Methodist Church, which she helped to build. She had
organized a series of "Mothers' Day Work Clubs" devoted to improving
health and sanitation in area towns; these clubs assisted both Union
and Confederate encampments in combating an outbreak of typhoid
fever, and conducted a "Mothers' Friendship Day" to help in
reconciling families divided by the Civil War. As a memorial, her
daughter dedicated her life to the establishment and promotion of a
national, and then an international Mother's Day.
Name the President who signed the resolution
making "Mothers Day" the second Sunday in May.
