With the Manhattan skyline acting a* a backdrop and the Brooklyn bridge towering above it, the stern section of the split tanker Fort Mercer, is shown enroute to a Brooklyn shipyard for replacement of the bow which she lost off Cape Cod. Thirteen crewmen rode out the winter’s worst storm aboard this floating section. Should you always Answer: Certainly not. Marriage is perhaps a special case—at least, for women—but it is wrong to feel that you never must “put yourself forward.” In the average conversa tion, for example, if you wait until someone says. “What do you think?” you will simply be left out. You can be, and many people are, too eager to attract attention, but as an adult you cannot always ex pect someone else to “draw you out” or “discover” the talents you may be Hiding. The world is too busy and most people too much self- absorbed for this to happen, and to sit back and wait for it is an evi dence of childish timidity, if not a desire to feel abused and neglected. “wait to be asked”? slavish dependence upon that of your neighbors, but only a morbidly self-centered person can be happy without some appreciation and “moral support.” Tell a person whom you love or who works for you when he has done something well, and you will not only please him but inspire him to do even bet ter next time. Do adults need “approval”? Answer: Just as much as children, though they may get it from a much wider range of sources. Unless you are reassured from time to time that you amount to something and that what you do is worth while, you can scarcely feel that there is any point in living. If you have grown up emotionally, the approval of your conscience will keep you from Does diet affect “social adjustment”? Answer: Yes. In the Journal of Home Economics, Martha Potgieter and Viola Everitt tell of a study of the eating habits of 385 elementary school children. For seven consecu tive days each child, with the help of his teacher and the school nurse, kept a record of everything that he ate, and the diets wer6 rated as “better” and “pooref.” Comparison with school records showed that chil dren in the “better diet” group rated somewhat higher in marks, health and school attendance and notably better in “social adjust ment.” For one thing, a well-adjust ed child is less apt to compensate for disappointments and frustra tions by over-indulgence. KEEPING HEALTHY Many Mental Patients Cured Swiftly By Or. James Y ears AGO there was such a de- mand for hospital beds in men tal institutions that it was estimated 'that within 50 years one half of all the people in the world would be needed to look after the other half, Who would be in need of mental treatment. Fortunately, with the •coming of shock treatment—insulin, nmetrazol and electric—many mental patients were cured in a short time «Ad the majority able to returq to their regular work. The national association for men tal health tells us that today “there is a definite trend upward in the quantity and quality of care and treatment for many of the 750,000 patients in the nation’s public men tal hospitals as well as an increase in the outpatient psychiatric facili ties.” Despite this encouraging note in the association’s annual report, mental illness continues to be our W. Barton nation’s number one health prob lem; today there are more' people in cur mental hospitals than there are in all other types of hospitals put together, and mental hospitals are badly understaffed. In some in stances the gains made before World War II have been wiped out by the draining of hospital person nel into industry and defense activi ties. The report states further that ac cording to present-day trends, at least one out of every 10 persons will need professional psychiatric care at some time during his life. What is being done to combat this increase in the number needing mental and emotional care? This association sponsors and helps fi nance inspection and rating pro grams for public mental hospitals. These surveys, conducted by the American psychiatric association, promote higher standards.

FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Acts 16: 6-40. DEVOTIONAL. READING: Proverbs 31:10-31. Business Woman Lesson for March 23, 1952 Dr. Foreman MIRROR ^ U Should You Always Of Your Wait To Be Asked? MIND By Lawrence Gould T HERE were no tinjetables and no maps on the ship that carried Paul from Troas to Samothrace and Neapolis. But even if there had been maps posted in the passengers’ cabin, and even if they had had the words ASIA and EURO P E where they ought to have been, it is doubtful whether Paul or any of his party woul ’ have thought that as im portant as we think it is. Fov the Christian religion was now for the first time, so far as we know, leaping from the continent of its birth to the continent where it would have power for more than a thou sand years. But Luke, writing Acts, does not even notice this fact. To educated people of that day, the name of the continent of “Europe” meant little or nothing. It was most ly populated by barbarians anyway. The important world of that day was centered around the Mediter ranean. Going into Macedonia from Troas was simply going from one province of the Roman Empire to another. Centuries went by before Christians realized what an epoch- making step this was. • • • * She Was at Prayer-Meeting I F there were no maps, there were no Hotel Red Books, either. There was no way of wiring ahead for accommodations. When Paul ar rived in Philippi, a strange city, he did not look up the Travelers’ Aid or the Chamber of Commerce; he hunted up the nearest prayer-meet ing. There he met and converted the woman named Lydia, the first European ever to become a Christian. She is in many ways a kind of sample of many and many a Christian after her. For one thing, she was a business woman, a seller of purple, that is, the purple dye which was so expensive and so much in de mand in those days. It is an interesting fact that while Christianity draws from every level of society, top to bottom, the first convert in all Europe was not a rich man, not a beggar, not a pro fessional man, not a slave, but an independent, middle-class business woman. • * • Successful Salesman C HRISTIANITY has always ap pealed to salesmen. They do not pretend to be the greatest people on earth, but they have always helped to mak the world go ’round. One of the most vigorous Chris tian organizations in America is the Gideons, made up entirely of travel ing salesmen. It would be interest ing to think what it is about the Christian religion that appeals es pecially to business people, but we must pass on. Lydia, we note, must have been successful in her purple-dye busi ness, since she had a home big enough to entertain the entire mis sionary party. Able, successful peo ple, people who can go out against stiff competition and make good— the Christian church is well sup plied with such persons. They have always been the backbone of the church. Then Lydia was also a suc cessful woman. Some religions, such as Islam, appeal especially to men, and leave women out of the picture except in so far as they can be useful to men. Christ, on the contrary, ever since the earliest days in Galilee has made an appeal to both men and women. Indeed, one of the greatest triumphs of Christianity has been what it has done for womankind. If woman’s lot over the world is better than it was 3,00T years ago, if women would rather live, if they had their choice, in Christian lands than where Christianity has never taken strong foothold, it is because of the kind of religion that Chris tianity is. 0 0 0 Open Heart, Open Home F urthermore and most im portant, Lydia devoted what she had to the service of Christ and his cause. She set her house at the disposal of Paul and his missionary friends, and we can well imagine that Lydia had a large part in later years, in sending those parcels to Paul in prison at Rome. How much the church owes to hospitable women! ' A good church Is one into which the women who are mem bers carry the same hospitality that is their habit at home, not only opening their homes to min isters, missionaries, Christian workers, but making the church itself a home-away-from-home for the lonely. Life without a woman’s touen would be a dreary thing; and so would a womanless church. ♦ ♦»•****♦«**♦*( One a Penny, Two a Penny, Hot Cross Bans!

World Population Up In Postwar Period Resurgence of births and de clining mortality in large areas of the globe have resulted in a spurt in world population during the postwar period. In the United States the annual excess of births over deaths has averaged better than 15 per 1.000 population, which is above the level immediately following World War I, and about twice the rate during the depression decade of the 1930’s. The trend has been similar in Canada and New Zealand. In France, where virtually no population gains had been made ! for a century, and where as re- j cently as 1940-1944 deaths exceed ed births, the rate of natural in crease has averaged better than 7 per 1,000 each year since 1946. In Ireland, which had been losing population for a century, the ex cess of births over deaths has been somewhat more than 8 per 1.00C during the past six years.
