64 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE GIVE THE MOTHERS THE MONEY THAT WE GIVE TO HOMES ! HE SAID was washed away, and the long years at the Home left the heart of the child again. That month John Wierman introduced his bill urging widowed mothers' pensions. Never had his eloquence been so convincing ; never had his appeal rung so finely true. Marie was there, and he sought her eyes as he made his plea. "Give the mothers the money that we give to Homes ! " he said. ' ' They will feed the children, house them, clothe them. They will make the money go above and beyond any Home dispensing by the sheer sweat of their bodies and the sight of their eyes. They will do more than feed and clothe them; they will give them souls — hearts to pray, strong hands to work, a vision clearly true. They will send them into the world men and women, gloriously equipped. They will give the nation its wealth untainted." Before the mind's eye of the speaker and his house a vision was conjured up : a sea of childish faces, clean, joyous, childish faces, openeyed and straight and true. Over these hovered the tired faces of women — mother faces, worn, yet triumphantly glad. The speaker's eye sought out one face — a real face — and, quite apart from all things else, he knew that he had won.
