Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The True Makers of Canada: The Narrative of Gordon Sellar, Who Emigrated to Canada in 1825
Mother kept on working, mostly out of door jobs, . Washing or house-cleaning, a neighbor being asked to look after me. When I got old enough, she would tell me, while I was in bed, where she was going, . And in the evening I would go and meet her. Some times, not often, she got sewing to do at home and these were bright days. We talked all the time and' she taught me much; not simply to read and write and cast little sums, but about everything she knew. My reading book was the gospel of John, which she' said was fullest of comfort, and it was then my faith in Christ took root. There could not be a more con tented or cheerful mother, and her common expres sion was that when we did our duty everything was for the best. She had a sweet voice, and when she sang one of Burns' songs neighbors opened their' doors to hear her. I was nearly ten when a bad time came. Mills closed, the streets were full of idle workmen, and provisions got dear. Mother got little.
