men gave the most weight to nag
ging. The second complaint was
lack of sufficient affection. Poor
management of the family income
was way down in 21st place.
In the same study the wives
made selfishness and iaconsidera-
ton their most serious indict-
ment. Lack of affection and dem
onstrativeness was 18th in rank
and insufficient income 25th. But
unsuccessful III mis- business" was
second in order It is not the &C
tual amount of income that wor-
ries a wife, but the relative
amount-the fact that she cannot
be proud of her husband.
Paul Popenoe' answers to the
questions concerning divorce make
a comment of great interest to
the men and women who want
their wartime marriages to stick.
Material things are not half as
necessary to a successful mar
riage as most people believe. The
qualities of the ypirit seem to con-
stitute much stronger glue in weld
ing the marriage bond.

this day.
The program, whose theme is
And the Lord Wondered That
There Was No Intercessor," sug-
gests the use of the Wise Mems
gifts as symbols of intercession:
myrrh, symbol of intercession for
the sorrows of the world; franklin
cense, symbol of intercession fo-
all members of the church family
in every nation; gold, symbol of
intercession for the refining of the
spirit of all mankind with the
dross consumed, our world to be
rebuilt with generosity and un-
selfishness.
