The meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of Knox Presbyterian Church on March 21 was opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. A. Enright. gr, ,reports__ were heard from the treasurer, the Friendship and .Service Secretary, and the recording secretary. ,The Glad Tidings Secretary, Mrs. J.R., Leitch, touehed on sjat items of general interest in the March issue. She asked members to grade three articles' in the April 'Glad Tidings as first, second or third in interest. . • Miss F. MacDonald showsed a photograph of the Banner Mission Band of Knox Church of 1894 when 165 children belonged. She asked for help in naming some of the, 'p"ersons in the photo who remained unidentified.

"Bible a month" program was —Author unknown deferred for consideration a1 the April gathering. , A young mother toid 'mel tris • past weekend that she had read recently about a psychiatrist who said that you can't spell a baby until it is at least nine months old. i "Mybaby must be the 'exception,' he told me, cradling her three -month-old son. "I'm • s e oiled. When he¢s being heldhers just fine., Put` him down and hell cry." "It has been a while since my children were babies, but I arra' inclined to distrust what the learned psychiatrist said about not being able to spoil a baby until it is at least :nine months ' old. . I suspect That you, can "spoil" •infants .much ea,lier than that. However, what one person would call"spoiled': may not be anything like what someone else would classify as "spoiled": In fast, 1 would go so far as to say that. every child could - be *termed "spoiled" if the right (or' wrong) perS'ons were assegsing that child. •• For instance, I may consider my child unspoiled if he didn't cry when,' put him to bed at. night. Someone else might think rely child is _very spoiled,. though, because he expects to be entertained between five and 'seven o'clock every evening.' Children quickly adjust to their surroundings; ,it seems, and take on the•temperment of the family. 1 really think that's why children ° never seemed spoiled to their own-. . parents—unless 'they kick over the traces and go' against the wishes of their mothers and fathers: • P I don`t. know why I feel compelled to mention this subject at all in this week's' column, except to say that the young mother • to whom I spoke was having al'1 the pangs of uncertainty which befall all concerned parentsalSome time or another. Because we tend to think there is a standard td which all children must conform .to be considered normal, healthy and well- adjusted, we begih to believe that something is drastically wrong with our offspring if they react "- differently to a situation than we expected. ' • , "They say that a person's , entire future depends on how he or she's been handled as a small baby," lamented this young mother; Obviously worried and afraid she Was not giving her �" y'Ung son the very best possible 'Mart inlife, and not really knOWing„WO* 'tp ,do better. I've always thought- it strange ` that for almost every. other undertaking in life,. we must go through a' training session.?

Keller haven't tried' -my very best.. • I understand the torment that young mother was- eperiencing. In her great love for her son, she wanted to give him the very best, -this-world ' could offer. But I believe that`if a' child has the love and concerti of mother -anti -father , he or she has the most precious gift anyone, c . .m are, things will go better for that child than'ifthere was only a set of rules anal a cold, calculating plan of action to live by. ' • And there's something else I believe. It is that since children are humans with Wills of their own to satisfy, they may get into difficulty despite all the love and concern parents can shower on them. If the psychiatrists woulet tell ,parents occasionally that to do ' t'h`eir very best 'for their children i`s enough, we *valet, have • fewer young mothers like the one I spoke to this weekend who .is blaming herself -unnecessarily. - • ++ Foran example of some of the thought-provoking and sometimes disturbing . statements corning from psychiatrists these days, 1 include- the 'following bit of information for your perusal. ..

Clinic here. ' Although , Dr. Symonds notes that dependency - in itself is not negative, , it becomes neurotic, she says, "when the individual denies his,own needs and relinquishes his . own best interests out of fear and anxiety:' This happens .frequently ih marriage, she maintains, and it's Usually the -woman who does the relinquishing. It all begins early in childhood, the psychiatrist points ouf, when boys ate encouraged to be self- assertive while girls are not. "Thc se girls who do assert themselves," Dr. Symonds points out, k `are made to feel aggressive - and masculine and they generally - react with guilt." Yet the distinction made, she continues, of the church Devotions were conducted •by ° Mrs. C.
