He went into the kitchen.
Gee, that's good" he exclaimed as
ne put down the spoon. He went
back to paper, pencil and thought.
What one thing do | like best
about my mother?" he asked himself
for the hundredth time. And after a
moment he wrote:
i like the way she lets me lick the
molasses spoon"
Johnny surveyed the answer for
a moment; then he ran his pencil
through it. And he wrote:
i like her because she looks after
me when / am sick and WE'LL" Again
ne considered the answer and
weighed it in his mind and again
ne crossed 1t out. Then he wrote:
i like best her love of home"
Johnny read nd re-read his answer.
HE hooked and unlocked his feet
But the contortions of his body were
as nothing to the contortions Of his
mind. AT last an inspiration struck
him. He sat bolt upright. He res
cued his pencil just as it was disap-
pearing down his gullet and wrote:
There is no best thing about my
mother.
Johnny smiled smile of deep sat
isfaction. He was one of a group of
boys with whom the Brotherhood of
st. Andrew, a laymen's organization
jof the Episcopal Church, was conduct
ing an intensive campaign and the
question he had answered had been
propounded by the man in charge,
Gordon M. Reese, Of Philadelphia. Mr..
Recess campaign is over now but
through the Nationwide Campaign
of the Episcopal Church it is proposed
to conduct similar work among BOYS
in other cities, for the Nationwide
Campaign comes to continue and in
crease the work Of the Episcopal
Church.
OF the forty-six answers Mr.. Reese
received from boys most of them gave
what they liked best about their
mother was her sympathy. "She.
shows me when l am wrong and puts
me on the right track, one boy wrote.
Another said: Il like her best because
she is ambitious and has taught me
that anyone who is lazy will never
get along very well in the world" A
third replied: IT like best her sim
