How an unfortunate Complex
may become fixed and contribute to
the life long misery of an individual
has been discussed more than once
in these letters. The practical work
ing of such a Complex or domi-
mating frame of mind, or group of
ruling ideas is to be found in this
letter from a young wife:
ITO understand my quandary I
must give you some facts about my
life. When 1 was thirteen my
mother ran away, leaving my father
with a small family. Soon he died
and l continued to be a little moth
er to the children until relatives
broke up the family.
Then / was sent to my mother
who was living as the common law
wife of the man she had eloped
with.
she treated me terribly. I went
to work, h took my money, and
bought intoxicants while | starved.
FINALLY l married an old man at
her order. l hoped he would help
me to provide for my little sister
and brother. He made me that
promise before the wedding.
-Four months later 1 discovered
that he wa already a married man.
AT once 1 took a train % a dis
ant city, L supported myself, and
ived uprightly according to my ma
.ure.
well, in consequence, a good
an wooed me and now / have a
wonderful husband for whom +
would lay down my life.
Before 1 married l tried to tell
him of my past history but he would
not listen. Only the future con-
cerned us, he said.
But my own aunt has told some
body and in the way bad news al
ways carries, it reached my hus-
bands relatives. Now they are
making all kinds of trouble for me.
They say that unless my husband
leaves me, they will have nothing
to do with him.
"Have 1 no right to a little bit of
love? 1 never had any happiness

band, L want to be happy with hin.
but his people, all good folks. never
will let me.
Must 1 leave him-for his good?"
Evidently the early influences
which made this girl so wretched
have deprived her of her power IL
improve her present chances ci
gladness.
h is cursed by ian inferiorit,
complex which became fixed in hel
childhood. And this association OF
ideas will ruin her life unless she
recognizes the evil and uproots it.
She must learn to value herself
She must learn to trust herself. She
must claim, not beg, for her rights.
By staying with her husband and
doing her best to insure his comfort
and success she will prove her own
wisdom.
What I must do is all that con-.
Germs me, not what the people
think"

VERY SAD ACCIDENT
THAT WAS UNAVOIDABLE

A meagre account of the accident in
which a car driven by Joseph r. Har-
rison. of Berlin. injured John Culver,
Jr, was given in last weeks Messen-
ger. From additional facts that have
been discovered, il appears that the
accident occurred when tn child ran
across the road. from behind baby
carriage. when Harrison's ear was
only short distance away. 1t seems
that Harrison was running at mod
crate gait, and as soon as he saw the
child he applied the brakes. and W Mt
completely off the road in an en-
deavor not to strike it.
Unfortunately, the child continued
across the road, running into the rear
of the car and being thrown forcihly
down, and il app ars that the acct
dent was unavoidable.
