It Is almost impossible for a
Samoan child to acquire a mother
fixation. Everyone wipes the
Samoan's baby's nose. everyone
kisses his bumps. And, because
he does not depend on any one
person too greatly, he learns to
depend on himself. Love is not
eliminated from his life, but it is
scattered. He grows up feeling
that the whole community is his
family, and he rarely feels an in
tense fondness for any one indi.

That will shock some Of US.
We will feel that the Samoans are
truly savages, who know nothing
of the loveliest experiences of life.
But, as a matter of fact, the wis

always advised just such a plan.
They have always warned us
against too close family ties, say.
ing that such ties dwarfed life.
Christ said that. Once when He
was speaking to multitude, some.
one asked Him, Behold Thy
mother and Thy brethren stand
without, desiring to speak with
Thee" But He answered and
said unto him that told Him, who
is MY mother?" And who are My

His hand toward His disciples and
said. Behold Ny mother and My
