More Woman’s Work
By Mrs. Leonard Thomas
The child from its birth is more woman’s work than man’s.
The Call of the Unborn
By Ethel Blackwell Robinson
(Author of “The Religion of Joy,” and “A Child’s Glimpse of God, for Grown-Up Children”—from which the following is taken.)
Oh, smile up your heart for me, mother,
Be happy, be buoyant, be mild;
Oh, smile up your heart, for I’m coming!
You’ll make me a lovelier child.
I’ll bud as a gay little lassie,
Or bloom as a cheery young lad;
So, smile up your heart, mother darling,
You’ll always be grateful and glad.
