MOTHERS’ DAY
Sir, —Hardly have my comments as regards brotherly feeling. dried the ink by which they were Written when I read a letter in. a city newspaper under the above heading discrediting the object of the day or the naming of such a day. It is pictured a business to help sales. T cannot believe such a motive prompted any mind to set aside one day in three hundred and sixty-five that brothers and sisters might pay a little extra respect to “mum.” She caught the first accent that fell from our tongues and joined in our innocent glee. No business propaganda could or would prompt these words or their -sentiment. My mother has passed on, but to all mothers: “it’s not. just because you’re my mother, I’m sending my love to you, but because you’re one of the dearest persons I ever knew.” If in every heart there is the foundation, for the world’s future peace Mothers’ Day asks for. it from childhood to old age and what can be shown in respect to my mother can be shoWn to other mothers. Mother gave it a start. • Yours etc.,
P. MORA.
