HOMES FOR CHILDREN
Sir, —What a lovely response from the people of New Zealand, in the ap- ] peal for homos for overseas children, but how sad, that on their arrival here they will have to bo separated from their brothers and sisters in order to be placed conveniently in each individual homo. Need that bo? What a comfort it would bo for the parents that have had to part from them if they had tho assurance that their children were not separated from each other in order to have a home. And what about tho children themselves? Their little hearts must acho with homesickness, and tho sudden loss of all they cherish. It is certainly pitiful to think that they must also be parted from each other. I am a mother of five small children, but thoro is always room for more than ono more, if it would mean comfort and happiness for thcin. So let us do unto others as wo would that they should do unto us, and God grant that wo may never have to part our baby sons and daughters from each other. » M.OTUKR OK FIVK.
