Doan’s Pius MIRROR Of Your M9ND ^ ^ Are Dogs Good Character Judges? By Lawrence Gould Should it flatter you to have animals like you? Answer: It is always nice to be liked, but the fact that dogs or cats —or even children—“take to you’’ need not mean that they realize you like them. It’s more apt to mean you are a relatively calm and “secure" person with whom they can feel safe. Conversely, it isn’t fair to say that anyone whom ani mals and children shun is cruel and untrustworthy; the truth generally is that he is “nervous,” and com municates the feeling to them. But some nervous people are extreme ly “good with children" because they feel safer with them. prolonged emotional disturbances on the sympathetic nervous system. Questioning of sixteen consecutive patients referred to his clinic for this difficulty brought admissions from twelve of them that the situa tion in the homes in which they grew up had been disturbed and unhappy. May unhappiness make you near-sighted? Answer: Apparently an unhappy childhood may have that result— along with many others. Dr. J. P. Dobson of Point Mugu, Calif., writes in the Journal of Aviation Medicine that he had long suspected that myopia (near-sightedness) might be a result of the effect of Can you really “hate yourself”? Answer: Not completely — that might even be fatal. But one “part" of you can hate another more in tensely than either can hate any one else. An extremely large share of all physical and mental suffering is self-inflicted. For insofar as a child gets the impression that his parents like to see him suffer or be deprived of his favorite pleasures, his wish to share their power and win their protection will make him develop conscious or unconscious hatred of himself for wanting to be happy, and an irresistable compul sion to be miserable.

Barton N OW THAT HIGH BLOOD PRES SURE is discussed more than ever before, and perhaps even more than cancer, it might be well to look into the matter a little more closely. Of course, there is no de nying the fact that high blood pres sure can be, and pften is, a serious matter as we- think of the great number of cases of heart strokes (coronary thrombosis) and brain strokes (apoplexy). High blood pressure is usually called hyperten sion by physicians because hyper means high or above and tension means tenseness or tightening of the walls of the blood vessels. However, because coronary thrombosis and apoplexy are us ually (but not always) accompanied by high blood pressure, men and women with high blood pressure are needlessly alarmed, says Dr. Irvine H. Page, chairman, medical advisory board council for high blood pressure research of the American Heart Association. In the book “You and Your Heart," edit ed by Dr. H. M. Marvin, Dr. Page states, “The hypertensive need not avoid the sea of life but he should not plunge in too recklessly and he should be armored against its harsher storms. If he can stand rock-like amid the shocks of the modem world, he need not fear his blood pressure.” The first thought in acquiring calmness of spirit despite having high blood pressure is to recognize the fact that high blood pressure is a lifetime companion unless you are among the lucky ones who have re sponded to treatment. After ac quiring this calmness by religion or philosophy, the important thing to learn is how to live safely, that is on a lower level of mental and physical activity. Unfortunately, the man or woman with high blood pressure finds it hard to live on this lower level of activity because his activity of mind and body is such a great part of his personality. Epileptics can turn out as much work as non-epileptics if their en vironment is suitable, and fellow employees do not have to worry about the safety of the epileptic and themselves. * + » There is a relation between harmful organisms associated with rheumatic fever and cavities in the teeth.

Foreman So completely i iyiHEY WENT fishing together, no * doubt; very likely they worked together In the shop; perhaps lit- v tie James was the nuisance that small brothers sometimes are, but like all small brothers he would tag along when Jesus went walking over the Nazareth hills. As a man in later years he be- came influential and famous; in deed it was he who probably wrote the book in our New Testament called "James.” But as a boy, his neighbors saw nothing re markable in him. commonplace he was, that as Mark 6 shows us, the natives of Nazareth couldn’t believe that one of James* brothers could amount to anything. • a a Unbeliever T^OR years and years James grew * up with Jesus, boy with boy. They lived under the same root ate from the same dish. James may even have worn his big brother’s outgrown tunics. All his childhood days he knew the care and love of the same mother Mary that Jesus had. Through all those "silent” years when Jesus lived and worked in Nazareth, James lived and worked beside him. And yet, the strange thing Is that when Jesus left the carpen ter shop and went abont "doing good" as Peter said, James did not believe In him. It seems Olear from the story In Mark S that both Mary and the broth ers (not James only) had the Idea that Jeans was ont of his mind. They came to get him and would have stopped his ministry at that point. If they could. John also mentions the fact that Jesus’ own brothers did not believe in him. It seems strange, yet the reason may not be hard to find. Perhaps it was a case of the old proverb. "Familiarity breeds contempt" Perhaps James had a sort of in feriority complex about himself, maybe he agreed with the villagers’ low opinion about him, so that he could not believe that his brother could be the Christ. In any case it is plain that if miracles could ever have compelled belief, Jesus’ mir acles would have convinced James . . . but he was an unbeliever right through the day of Calvary. • a • Believer P RECISELY what changed him was never known. Some anony mous writer in early times wrote a "Gospel of James"—a piece of fic tion never accepted by the church as genuine. What we do know is what Paul tells us: that after his resurrection, Jesus "appeared to James.” It may well be that James was convinced by the risen Christ as he had never been by the Car penter of Nazareth. Be that as It may, as time went on and Christians began to multiply in Jerusalem, James appeared as the leader of the Christians’ Home Church. At the important conference held In Jerusalem to decide the church’s first great controversy, it was James whose speech was the “last word" before the de cisive vote. • • • Quality of Leadership J AMES was not an accepted lead er merely because he was a brother of Jesus. There were other brothers who remained quite ob scure. James was a recognized leader because of his personal qual ities. The reader is invited to study these out for himself. But there is one interesting and unusual combi nation of qualities in this man: strictness with' himself, together with flexible generosity in dealing with others. In Acts 21:17-26 It is clear that James kept aD the laws of Moses himself and expected other Jews to do the same. Te the end of his life he was per sonally u rigid eonservative. But when it came to other peo ple, he was far more tolerant. When the question arose. How much of Jewish law shall we expect Gentile Christians to observe? James agreed to the startlingly small nucleus of laws that the Jerusalem conference set forth as the absolute minimum for all James did not wish his own con science to bind every one else. He did not expect every one to be bound by his own pattern. He had high standards and he lived by them. But he did not use his own standards as a club with which jo beat others over the head.
