Adopted Children
Sure to Find Out
Truth About Selves

DEAR MISS DIX: We are adopt
ing a little boy and girl, both under
5 years Of age. These children are
not related to one another and
were born out of wedlock. Now is
it vital that these children shall
be told the truth about their par
ents as they grow older? viii 1t
make them bitter about their
birth? Why should they not grow
up believing us to be their own
father and mother? They love us
and we love them as dearly as II
they were our own, but we want
to do what is best for them to
build their lives into happy ones.
P. E. w.
Answer. Whenever people adopt
children the one thing they should
surely do without fail is to tell
them that they are adopted as
soon as they are old enough.
Sooner or later every adopted
child is bound to ind out the
truth about itself. and II this
revelation comes to it after 1t
is grown 1t seems to shatter 1t.
It makes 1t feel that 1t has been
tricked, deceived. and it can't
forgive the foster-parents for lying
to it. Somehow, it appears to
wipe out all the love 1t has felt for
it's parents, all the gratitude for
years of kindness 1t has received.
Perhaps this is because children
trust their parents as they do God
and when they discover that those
they believe were their fathers and
mothers are not their fathers and
mothers it takes away their faith
in everything.
I get many letters from per-
fectly frantic youngsters who have
suddenly found out that they were
adopted children and their re-
sultant feeling is one Of great
bitterness against their foster
parents. They will speak In one
breath Of how devoted their foster
parents have been to them and Of
all they have done for them, and
in the next they will say, II am
going to leave these people and
find my own mother. I don't care
what she is" which is perhaps =
natural reaction Of childish
mind smarting under the blow Of
a blighting revelation that has
shaken its little world to its

By Jessie Font Evons

The Rev. E. w. Dunbar, general
secretary of the Seventh day Ad-
ventist Young Peoples Depart
ment. is almost as much at home
in Africa as in the United States,
to judge from his travels.
On a hree-and-a-half month
missionary trek, from which he
recently returned by air. he held
four major gatherings and 26 les
ser camp meetings.
These latter sessions took him
all the way from the Congo
through Uganda, Nyasaland,
Northern and South Rhodesia
and the Union of South Africa.
The 9,000-mile return trip by air
was made In AZ hours Of flying
time.
The hop to the Belgian Congo,
penetrating to its easternmost
tip, began July 4. Just prior to
this journey he had presided over
the Missionary Volunteers SEES
sions here which packed the audi
forum in Takoma Park. The
volunteers. the young peoples
groups, now boast a worldwide
membership of some quarter mil
lion.
Natives of Highest Type.
The first of the huge day camp
meeting in Africa was held in
Ruanda -Urundi, where $4,000 per-
sons. part Christian and part
heather. assembled. The country,
comprising two of the richest ag-
ricultural sections Of the Congo,
was formerly part Of German East
Africa, but is now under Belgian
administration. The terraced
farms rise to the highest slopes Of
the mountains.
Those attending the meeting,
Mr.. Dunbar told me, were princi-
pally natives of great natural dig
nifty and poise. some coming from
as far as ITO miles. Many of them
sang as they walked in columns
beside oxen bearing food and sup
plies.
They have distinct family
loyalty" he said. They have a
strong code OF morality with strict
penalties for laxities. and they
are eager to espouse Christian
teachings"
Mr.. Dunbar was greatly i'm
pressed with the government
financed farms being set up In
the Congo, and also by other ex-
amples Of good colonial admin
istration. For instance. each ma
tive carries a card identifying him
and stating whether or not his
taxes are paid.
Big Meeting at Malamulo.
Next big meeting devoted to
youth congress activities was at
Malamulo in Nyasaland. where
the Adventists have a large med
ical center for natives. Here, as
in other congresses wherever held,
emphasis was placed upon alb
stinence from alcohol and tobacco
