lowed, because I witnessed
such q problem" many years
ago.
A friend of mine confided
that she was expecting q
child that was not her hus-
bands. They were having
marital difficulties at the
time and were temporarily
separated. It was then that
she had a short-lived ro-
nance with another man.
Her husband (who may have
had a few things on his own
conscience) acted wisely and
maturely. He forgave her and
made the best Of it. He
raised the handsome little
boy with the same love as
their other three children.
They are now a happy, closely
knit family. The boy, who
might have been rejected, is
an outstanding student to-
day.
The man had two choices:
Acting the part Of the out
ragged husband, and Destroy
ing his family to satisfy his
pride. Or the choice he made.
I admire him beyond words.
