to Observe Mothers Day

NIOTHER'S DAY will be celebrated
lM all over the United States on
Sunday, May 13. Philadelphia, City
of Homes, with it's motto LET
Brotherly Love Continue" always
gives to this celebration whole
hearted observance. But in this
time of crisis, when the mothers of
the nation are being asked to give
their sons in defense Of our liberty
and in a supreme effort to bring
liberty to other lands, Mothers Day
makes an irresistible claim upon
every individual.
With the strength born of man
hood and the sincerity of the child
let us give this one day in the year
to a recollection and realization of
what each owes to mother love and
mother care, finding in such an ac-
acknowledgement of our debt Of graft
tude to the mother influence, a new
loyalty to the motherland in this
hour of supreme crisis.
