A MOTHER’S APPEAL.
“A MoTirifß” writes thus in the Dominion “August 4th, the first anniversary of the declaration of war, is drawing near, and the thoughts of all will naturally turn to the losses we have sustained through twelve months of fighting. Many homes have been overcast with bereavement, and many mothers are heartbroken. As one who has four sons on active service, I can fully understand the feelings of those whose hoys are gone. I would suggest that in this time of widespread sorrow, we set apart August 4th as a day of prayer. To this end I would urge every mother to request the authorities to declare that day, throughout the Dominion, as a lime for waiting upon God. Already, I understand, the Ministers’ Associations in many places are arranging in this direction, but it would be much more fitting if the Dominion as a whole ob served the daj 7 . i trust that this suggestion will be taken up with spirit,” The suggestion has been taken up bv the churches throughout the Dominion.
