Conflict over religious differ
ences breaks up or weakens SO
many marriages that young
people should make sure that
they have dealt successfully
with all such differences be-
fore they take their wedding
vows. Two people should think
very much alike on this sub
ject. Any wide difference may
make trouble. Statistics sug-
gest that the most unfavorable
combination is that of Roman
Catholic and Protestant. But
the combination of Christian
and Orthodox Jew might be
even more unfavorable if there
were many of them. Even
among Protestants there may
be great conflicts over such a
matter as child baptism.
Mrs. o. is one of those who
did not foresee the difficulties.
II guess we figured the prob
lens would take care of them
selves somehow" she tells.
I'VE seem to be squabbling
more all the time, but we GER
tainly don't want to separate.
How can people solve this
problem when they've already
been married three years."

religion merely as a weapon
to club the other partner.
Mrs. o. 1t frequently serves
that purpose, just as does the
budget or the mother-in-law.

on each side the things you

few points Of difference aside
for the moment and concen-
trate on the enormous num-

into the background for a
while and concentrate on

rain had not fallen in weeks.

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The daughter has compounded
folly with stupidity.
Having slipped so badly as tc
violate her own moral sense and
to forfeit both the man she
longed for and her reputation
she now proceeds to ALLEVIATE ano
embitter her own mother.
The story of her involvement,
II true. would probably arouse
her mothers sympathy. Even
If it did not, the daughter would
certainly be no worse of than
she is now.
1t is abundantly clear from
the mothers comment that she
is more outraged by her daugh-
ter's brazen refusal to confide in
her than by her misconduct
The mother would probably for
give. even If all the charges in
the divorce case were wholly
true. but she cannot bear being
rejected as a mother.
This girl is obviously incom-
petent to manage her own life
yet she proceeds recklessIy on
her own. spurning help. She not
only makes a grave initial mis-
take. but pyramids it into the
Ibitterest tragedy when she might
by using a little judgment, re-
duce her troubles to bearable
PROPORTIONS.
The mother certainly can not
help believing the worst when
she has had nothing but brazen
lies from her daughter.

thrives on procrastination.
Mention any of mans enemies
in the form of disease or acct

is the principal factor in pre-

"shuffied off" prematurely and
unnecessarily. Therefore We
doctors keep asking that you
come to US in time. And after
you have come for advice. we
hope you will follow it.
