Childless Couples
Can Be Happy
By Lawrence Gould
Is a childless marriage bound to be unhappy?
Answer: Certainly not. The
larger percentage of divorces
among childless couples seems to
have three main factors: (1) the
fact that such couples feel more
free to separate if they wish to:
(2) the lack of a common interest
to hold them together, and (3) the
self-centeredness which most often
leads to a deliberate refusal to
ngve children. But two people who
sincerely love each other can find
many interests in common besides
children, and all couples need such
interests when their children grow
up. Marriage itself is a bigger,
more enduring thing than parent
hood and need not be dependent on
it
May childbirth be too painless?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Helene
Oeutsch in her book, “The Psy
chology of Women.” The modern
obstetrical technique known as
spinal or “caudal” anesthesia
leaves the mother free from pain
and able to observe her child’s
birth as impersonally as if it were
happening to someone else. But
“something is missing”—there is
little or no sense of achievement.
“From the psychological point of
view, this type of delivery has the
advantage of happy reunion with
the child and freedom from the
aftermath of narcosis. But.the ab
sence of feeling of accomplishment
is very marked,” though “the wom
an usually does not realize this till
later.”
Does old age mean “decline”?
Answer: Not in all respects, by
any means, says Dr. Edward J.
Stieglitz, noted pioneer in geriatrics
(study of old-age diseases). Pow
ers of endurance, judgement and
ability to understand may increase
with age—the main question is how
we can make the aging person feel
that it is worth his while to remain
active and interested. Clinical ex
perience shows that there is more
danger of the average older man or
woman wearing out from disuse
than from being over-active. Aging
people need love and affection, but
they need still more to feel that
they are “needed” and that—as is
generally true—they can still do
some kinds of work “as well as
ever.”

Lazy Thyroid Can Cause Slowness
By Dr. James W. Barton
XNNE OF THE TRAGEDIES that
occurs to some parents is find
ing that their child is mentally de
fective. It is suspected that in many
cases this is due to lack of activity
of the thyroid gland in the neck,
and use of thyroid extract has
proved helpful.
In the American Journal of
Diseases of Children, Dr. A.
Topper reports the following-
up of 20 cretins, hypothyroids
(children born with underactivi
ty of the thyroid gland) for one
to 25 years. There were six boys
and 14 girls. Only one of the chil
dren had developed hypothyroid
ism after birth. Dried thyroid
gland extract had been given
them. The individual dosage
varied from case to case and
from time to time. Psychiatric
or mental tests revealed that
seven remained mentally defec
tive despite adequate treatment.
Why some cases improved men
tally and others did not, de
spite sufficient doses of thy
roid extract, was thoroughly in
vestigated by studying the brain
waves in these seven patients
and on six who had reached a
normal level of intelligence.
Five of the seven who had re
mained defective showed abnor
mal brain waves whereas the
six who had reached a normal
level of intelligence had normal
brain waves.
Dr. Topper believes that when
these studies are made in infancy
they can be of great importance to
the physician and parents, as no
amount of thyroid extract can help
the cases in which the brain waves
are not normal, whereas if the
brain wave test—electroencephalo
gram shows a normally functioning
brain, persistent and adequate treat
ment by thyroid extract can bring
about normal mentality even when
the child was born with an under-
active thyroid gland.

INSPIRATION
Seif Criticism
O NE OF THE CAUSES of world
wide tension today is the human
tendency to see ourselves as white
and others as black. A clergyman
has criticized “the American habit
of confessing other people’s sins.”
Of course it could be said that
others, too, are guilty of this. But
we cannot escape the indictment as
it applies to ourselves. To deny it
would be a proof that it is true.
Self-righteousness is particularly
obvious in national life and interna
tional relations. Communists see all
virtues and no faults in their own
social philosophies, economic sys
tem and political program, while
non-Communists tend to do the
same. Each side sees the other’s
way of thinking and doing things
as entirely wrong.

Methodists Endorse
Birth Control News
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—The Meth
odist New England Southern Con
ference went on record here in sup
port of efforts to legalize the dis
semination of birth control informa
tion to married women in Massa
chusetts and Connecticut.
This action put the conference be
hind a crusade of the Planned Par
enthood League to abolish exist
ing provisions in the two states for
criminal action against doctors who
give such information.
The conference statement on birth
control was adopted as an amend
ment to a commission report, and
was submitted by the Rev. Charles
X. Hutchinson, Jr., of East Hart
ford, Conn.
Support of the McMahon proposals
on disarmament reconstruction was
urged by the meeting. At the same
time, the conference deleted from
a report of its world peace commis
sion a criticism of universal mili
tary training as a “major threat to
the American way of life.”
Secular Competition
Seen As Too Strong
FREDERICK, Md.—A Washing
ton newspaper columnist said here
that the church is losing out in com
petition with secular influences in
American life. He said the reason
is that the church is still geared to
an 18th century pattern which
claims only two horns a week of
the average churchgoer.
Marquis Childs, nationally syndi
cated columnist, expressed this
opinion to delegates at a Protestant
Episcopal family life conference at
Hood College.
“In the days of the 18th century
when the present pattern of wor
ship became established, the church
had little or no competition from
other sources,” he said.
“Today, however, we need to give
serious thought to what the church
can accomplish when it claims, at
best, only two hours a week of the
time of the average member—two
hours out of a very busy week.”
Mr. Childs said that the church
faces “a fantastic array” of com
petition from movies, television,
sports, books and secular organ
izations, all of which are pulling
modern man in other directions.

SALEM, Ore.—Methodist Bishop
Gerald H. Kennedy of Portland
struck out here at what he called
a current tendency to confuse re

affair.”
The bishop used as his theme
Jeremiah who, he said, finally spoke
his beliefs after overcoming the
fear of being called a traitor.
Contrasting Flavors,
Textures Will Keep
Menus Interesting
A MEAL THAT’S LIVELY with
color, exciting because of some
soft foods, some crisp and crunchy,
some tart and spicy while others
have a subtle sweetness can keep
appetite interest high.
Homemakers who want to keep
their families looking forward to
mealtime no matter what the weath
er plan menus with such rules in
mind. Conse
quently menus
never become
dull, and it’s
easy to have nu
tritionally ade
quate foods not
only served but
eaten also.
It’s fun to see what ingenuity can
be used in combining foods for in
teresting menus. Here’s a broiled
cheese and rice combination that
is proud to appear at any dinner
table after a quick trip to the broil
er. Dessert and salad courses are
combined in one with a watermelon
salad bowl, which offers fresh fruit
with its crisp texture, an excellent
contrast to the soft-textured foods
of the main dish.

Think of Brother
Lesson for July 29, 1951
T HE Christians in the city of
Corinth were bothered about a
number of things. One of them
never bothers any
body any more, and
yet, strange as it
seems, it throws a
light on some of the
hottest problems a
Christian meets.
The Corinthian
problem was beef
steak. We have a
problem with that
too.—that is, how Dr. Foreman
are we going to pay
for it? That wasn’t the Corinthian
problem.
This was away back in Roman
times. Every city had its temple
where sacrifices were made to the
gods. Sacrifices were of all kinds,
from flowers to cattle. It was con
sidered rather wasteful, after kill
ing a big bull, to throw the carcass
away; so after the ceremonies at
the temple, the rose-garlands would
be taken off the beast’s neck, and
the animal would be hauled away
to some butcher’s shop, where it
would be cut up into roasts, steaks
and what not, and sold over the
counter just like any other meat.
Now some of the Christians be
gan to worry over their meat sup
ply. Suppose I buy a steak in the
market (one would .ask) and sup
pose that steak came from a bull
or a cow that has been killed as a
sacrifice to one of these heathen
gods? Won’t that make me guilty
of idolatry?
• • •
Your Conscience
May be Clear, but—
S O they wrote to the best man
they knew, their old evangelist
and pastor, the man who had con
verted them to Christ and organ
ized their church, the Apostle PauL
They asked him about this and
other things; and what we call
“I Corinthians” is his answer.
Yon might think this beef
steak problem trivial, but Paid
never handled a trivial problem
In a trivial way. He approached
the problem in this way: Meat
is only meat, he said; It certain
ly wasn’t the boll's fault that ho
was part of a heathen cere
mony. As for the botcher, he
paid good money for the animal,
in a perfectly respectable boe-
iness transaction. Then where .
was the sin in eating such
meat?
But wait a minute. Suppose you
are dining out, and you happen to
know where the meat came from,
and everybody at the table knows,
and somebody at the table isn’t
very clear-headed, and when he
sees you eating the meat, thinks
you must be approving of heathen
sacrifices; then what?
Or perhaps, some one else is less
enlightened than you; eating such
meat seems quite wrong to him,
but when he sees ybu eating it, he
may (just to be polite) follow suit,
and yet his conscience, not being
an educated conscience like yours,
will hurt him all the same. So what
you do quite freely and rightly,
causes another man to go against
his conscience.
• • •
Think of Your Brother!
N OW, then, Paul says: “If what I
eat makes my brother fall, I
will never eat meat again, rather
than make my brother fall.” (Amer
ican translation.) There you have
the Christian principle.
The important question is not,
“Is it any harm?” but, “What
effect is this going to have on
other people?”
We have seen that the basic
Christian principle in all human re
lationships is the importance of
personality. If an act, even a harm
less and blameless act, hurts per
sons—makes them sin, makes
them go against their own con
science, then the Christian’s rule is
at once: Don’t
The rightness or wrongness of a
thing is not all in the thing itself:
it comes from its effects cm
persons. Now apply this to some of
our own problems of social living.
Is drinking alcoholic liquor a sin? Is
the use of tobacco sinful? Is dancing
wrong? (—to name a few.)
Let us suppose, for the sake of
the argument that you are not
harmed by such things yourself. It
is a fact, however, that some people
are harmed by them. Nbw suppose
your act, which is quite harmless
to you and done with a clear con
science, influences another and per
haps weaker person to indulge in
something harmful to him? Then a
Christian will say, as Paul said: If
this thing makes my brother fall,
I will never do it again. Which,
after all, is more important to me,
my own freedom or my brother’s
character?
