cannot do 1t. and I find it diff
If1cult to love my husband when
he presses me as If this were a
financial debt.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
While it is utterly wrong for
the husband and his family to
demand religious conversion
from the wife as if it were a
business obligation. they do have
"a strong moral claim with re-
spect to the child, inasmuch as
the wife admits having made the
promise of her own free will.
A promise to change ones re-
ligious faith should not be either
made or accepted. No one should
promise away his conscience, nor
should anyone buy another's
conscience. That never works
out well.
Ruth'S realization that it would
be wrong to turn her back on hel
religion as part of a bargain is
a good thing; it is a sign that
she is not religiously dead. Hel
husband should never again allow
himself to discuss this question
in terms of the pre-marriage
bargain. although he has the
right and duty to bring his child
up in the agreed-upon religion
which is his.
Now that Ruth has at last
discovered a spark of religious
feeling in herself, it is a destruc-
tive thing for her husband to
associate his religion. in her
mind, with a bargain status. If
he stops making claims on her
and if she agrees to the child's
religion. this couple may remove

to keep her promise. This is not
only a shock to me, but a bitter
disappointment to my parents,
who were opposed to the mar
riage and predicted that this
would happen.
Despite the fact that she as
Isured me before the marriage
that she did not feel strongly
bound by her religion, she is now
willing and even determined to
cause unhappiness by refusing
to keep her promise. This in
spite Of the fact that I work for
my father and her own future
and the futre Of our child de-
pend on his good will.

THE DETAILS
PHILIP r. T. - Three years
ago I married a girl of a differ
ent religion from mine, but we
had a definite understanding
that she would join my faith and
that our children would be
brought up in my faith. I wanted
her to change her religion before
the marriage but she persuaded
me to wait, arguing that her
aged father would be terribly
hurt and probably did not have
long to live.
We now have a baby. and her
father is dead. but Ruth refuses

But as the bartender looked at
