Mothers who give complete service to husband and children are the happlest of God's creatures. Our ha ured by what we give. Lucky are the children who are from the very beginning! Which ones are going to take from, and which ones are going to give to, life? It seems to me this is a more im- portant question than many of those others we ask ourselves 50 anxiously. We worry about their hair and their teeth, we struggle with their schooling, we keep an eye on their manners—but about the actual soul of the child, his nature, his character, about the things that are really going to determine his happiness or unhappiness in this life, most parents seem to feel that they can do> little or nothing. One child is unselfish, sunny, affec- tionate. His brother, perhaps his twin brother, is shy, suspicious, selfish, un- friendly. tinies are indicated, for all time. menly speaking. the fortunate one will be always fortunate; the other always in the shadow. i Two sisters I know illustrate the point. Nancy is jelly, rosy, plump, curly-headed—it is extraordinary how often curly heir goes with a happy heart—good natured. Nancy is not in- telligent, but then she doesn’t have to be. AKE a good Jook at those chil- dren of yours. They mirror, to- day, the men and women they are so soon going to be. Joan, her older sister. is a quiet, wary gitl, with dark straight hair and a hurt, | misunderstanding and subdued manner. Every one is alway offending Joan: she is prettier than Nancy, shc is far more clever—it doesn't ~matter, she never quite fits in. Nancy is happily married; Joan, at 27, is keepifig books for a law firm. o FTER having watched them inti- mately and affectionately for some 15 years, it seems to me that the ex- planation is that Nancy gives, and Joan takes. everything—laughter, | ranicnship, enthusiasm, she holds the camera and lets every the picture; she is the one who gets the seat alone at the theater. If chairs and card tables have to be moved, it is Nancy who is dragging them about; if eny one wants a white hat or a pair of stockings, Nancy has them to lend. Joan hangs back, when charades or theatricels are discussed; she doesn't Jike to be “made ridiculous.” But Nan- ey plungss in, and the more ridiculous she 15 the more every one loves her. Nency is cternally forming friend- ghips and having her friends fail her— che goes on undaunted, and wins a tre- ynendcus popularity out of even failures But Joan waits to see what acquain ances have to offer her: they must be- gin the giving—and sometimes they never do. She tells me, bitterly, about the other girls in the office. “Mary seemed to be my best friend, wish you could have heard the way 'she talked about our friendship. And then she gives a party and keeps the whcle thing a secret from me! No," Joan says, telling me about it, “I won't forgive that kind of thing, I'm not quite a fool. Loyalty!” says poor Joan, wWarm- ing, “T love it. If my friends car't be loyal to me, I've na use for them!” - awn HICH is all very pathetic. For loyalty, to me, seems a much over-rated quality, at least in the re- cipient. Love is everything, love fulfills the law; loyalty has nothing to do with love. When you say “loyalty” ycu are denying love, for love doesn't need it. It may be very nice and kind and gen- erous, but it's a sccond-rate thing, at be Joan demands it But even when she satisficd as with her when a friend telophoned to ask her to g to the theater. John civilly regretted. “It merely means that some one else hss Idisappointed her!” she explained to me, late “She isn't just planning the party, now—she's probably planned it for days.” And she seemed quite triumphant over her shrewdness in cutting herself out of a good time. Humanly speaking, Joan's case is helpless, and Nancy, by some unjust freak of fate, got joy and happiness and Whatever it is, opularity for two. PBut (cyr(unmd) we don't have to speak humanly. There are other ele- ments in our composition besides mere animal instinct and appetite, and the Joans of the world can escape from themselves through these channels. Kow o x (QNE of the most old-fashioned of " We hear . “sanctify- ing grac “means of grace” in these days. but our ancestors used the terms quite familiarly, We can get away from any fault, or defect. or disadvan- tage through grace. Indeed, we can turn the silver lining of any cloud out- side through grace. Grace “the influence of God's spirit in the heart of a believer.” All have to do is turn back to a cer- tain sermon on a certain mount for our definition of grace. Blessed are the meek, the merciful, the pure in heart, the poor in spirit. Blessed 15 he who gives, full measure, running over.

Probably v she prays, but when she says, “Forgive ,us as we forgive those who trespass against us” the words are dead. They mean nothir Nancy got it all for nothing, but { Nancy may have her problem yet. Per- haps it will be one of Nancy's children who must struggle to find peace of * spirlt—to find grace, just as Joan must work for it, if she ever is to be happy, needed, beloved, satisfied. S THERE are thousands of girls like her. TWey write me long descrip- tions of their experiences, their his- tories, the mother who never under- stood ' them. the schocl teachers who were unjust, the business associates who refuse them the companionship and Jove and amucement and popu- larity for which they hunger. They dread loneliness, superfluous- ness; they dread the 30s and 40s; they hate the idea of turning ‘into mere machines; efficient, single, respectable + middle-aged women living in boarding houses all over the Union. Well, the way out is the old way of humility and service; of giving rather | than reteiving. “He that would be | first among you, let him be as one who | serves.” Find some one who needs you, | rather than look for some” one you need.

Mothers who give complete service to husband and children are the haj plest of God's creatures. Our happ! ness, indeed, is very closely measured by what we give.

U. Inaugurates Debate Season. ATIONAL UNIVERSITY last night inaugurated its 1931-32 debate sea- son when two freshman teams staged o practice tilt on the question of abolizhing capital punishment. The debate also marked the introduction of a new balloting system, in which the entire debate class becomes the judg- ing jury. - A criminal trial Friday night con- tinued the moot court program. In announcing | plans for the com- ing seison, Prof. Fred P. Myers, in- structor In legal debating, explained that the season’s forensics will in four major The winners ! each of these tilts | will comprise the fleld of Cfln(flldcrs; for the university faculty prize in de- | bating, which is to be awarded at the | annual commencement exercises in| June. The schedule of debate topics now is virtually completed, Prof. Myers said. The program will include also & | series of meetings with the teams of | out-of-town colleges and universities. In last night's tiit, a comparatively informal competition, Willam T. O'Con- nor and Conrad Christie contended | tal punishment should be while Willlam H. Anthony and P. H. Hume spoke for its con- tinuance. The subject was chosen. Prof. Myers explained, because it pro- vided debate grounds without ex- tended research. | ‘The new {udltn: system which was | inaugurated last night involves the usc | of cards by the debate class, which sits as both audience and jury. "rior to the debate, each member of the class wrote on his‘own card the side of the question he cnose. At the conclusion | of the debate each checked whether he | still held the same view, and, if not, | why he was led to change his opinfon. | This system. Prof. Myers said, will | enable him to keep closer check on the | the progress made under his instruc tion, and will show up weaknesses in the speakers which might otherwise Fred P.
