ANNE MARRIAGE ALIENATES SON OF' LONELY PARENTS Dear Anne Hirst: Why do people always • blame t h e mother-in-law in these heart- breaking family problems. I, for instance, have always tried in every way to be a good mother and mother-in-law, and never interfered in my son's married life. Yet still his wife has never shown any consideration for our family." So writes a desolated mother who feels she has lost her son through marriage. She continues: "They have been married a long time. Not once have we been asked to their house. My son never comes to see us, and it hurts us so. They are even keeping o u r grandchildren away. "Why are good parents sup- posed to suffer like this? It seems a son cannot love his wife and his folks too. (How can a man be so weak)? I must have failed in a big way.... Is there no such thing any more as hon- oring thy father and thy mother?

One of my children is married, and I have a teen-age boywith me. I live a very_ lonely life. "I don't drink nor smoke, and 1 like wholesome pleasures. I should like to meet some decent man (I'm sure there are some left) but I am backward by na- ture, and its is hard for a wo- man to encourage new men and not be misunderstood. Have you any ideas? Rita." '* To other lonely women who * write me I suggest they inter- * est themselves in community 4' affairs that attract other peo•� * ple of their age. The many ac- * tivities of your church should * be productive, and civic * groups attract intelligent and * worthwhile men as well as * women. * Hospitals, . institutions,_ and * some libraries appreciate part- * time volunteers, and their * contacts plightprove helpful * as well as interesting. Any * activity that requires your * regular attendance, and your * enthusiasm, will widen your * acquaintance and keep your * mind alert and receptive. * No lonely person meets new * friends by sitting at home and * wishing. You must go where * nice people congregate, and * attach yourself to groups that * can use your talents. Good * luck! :k a• Cherish your :parents while they are still with you. One day they will not be, and then the knowledge that you loved and honored them will be your con- sol,ation.... Anne Hirst's opin- , ion on family situations is sought by thousands.

Collossie s• 3:12-16; . 1 John 4:1.8. . Memory • .Selection.: • If God so loved us, !we ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11. • People who study together, play together or work together usually deveiap some degree. of flio�+ship. But the fellowsllp of the early church is the purest and most , effective of which we have record. No one was left in need. There was unity and glad ness. God was the object Of their praise. It is no wonder that "the Lord added to the .church daily such as should be saved." This fellow- ship was attractive. It was not designed to protect and further their own interests. Its purpose was to bring others into disciple- ship of Jesus Christ. It- was not selfish. It had an outreach. This spirit should always character- ize the spirit of Christians. When we become self-centred we have lost the spirit of Christ. Sinners are not drawn by such a cold and sterile form. Snobbishness has no place in the' Christian's life. Paul callsfor the .church to put on 'Mercies, ,kindness, hum- bleness of mind, Meekness, long- suffering; forebeering ,one an- other, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against • any." These are to be girded by love. Tb.en it will be easy to let the peace of God rule in our hearts... If many more people, including leaders, in the nations around the world had this peace our fears of a third world war would disappear. Love displaces hate and those other evils as greed and lust for power that make for war. Chris- tians must be alerted.

These Mink Travel A Long Distance Plenty of mink on the paw, enough for thirteen full length coats worthy of milady's most meticulous taste, passed through Montreal recently aboard a Can- adian National Railways express • car. Former residents of Lulu Island, B.C., the 737 squealing, prized rodents, valued at $81,000, and their owner, William Dawe, 'moved lock, stock and barrel to a new ranch site at Whitbourne, Newfoundland, to cash in on an extremely enticing offer from • Premier Joseph Smallwood and his provincial government. The provincial body footed the bill for all transfer charges in- cluding 200 pounds of horse meat the mink consumed during their 4,500 -mile trip, A policy of encouraging mink ranchers to settle in the island province, to tie in with 'the whaling industry, is expected to' make Newfound- land the world's leading centre for mink. The ravenous little creatures each eat one-third of a pound of ground horsemeat a day, which at 12 cents a pound, runs up a prettylofty grocery bill. In com- parison, Newfoundland, with its large whaling operations, makes it possible for the, mink breeders to purchase whalemeat, richer in proteins than either beef or horsemeat, for two cents a pound. ISSUE 9 — 1955 Wild Bear Did Baby -Sitting Demetrios and Sophia yang poulos, peasants in an isolated spot on the slopes of mount Zygos, highest peak of the Pin- dus range in Greece, had a ter- rible fright recently when they saw their three-year-old son Constantine being cradled by a bear. The couple had left their stone 'cottage, carrying a sack of old rags, a pair of bellows and a large earthenware jar, and gone into the forest in search of honey. Constantine, meanwhile, stay- ed alone in his cot. That day a bear cub came prowling around the silent house. He went up to the open door, lifted his wet muzzle and sniffed. "A gleam of pleasure shone in his little eyes; his pink tongue licked his chops. He re- cognized the smell of honey. He pushed against the door and approached a jar in a cor- ner of the big room and turned it upside down. Later, stuffed with honey, he went into the inner room where little Constantine looked with amazement at the strange visitor approaching his cradle. As Demetrios and ' Sophia walked home, they congratu- lated themselves on a magnifi- cent crop of honey. They dis- cussed: the good price they would get for it at the market and how they would spend the money. "I shall buy Constantine a bear cub — a plush one with black glass eyes," said Demetri - OS. Sophia clapped her hands. "It seems 1 can hear him laughing already...." She stopped suddenly. Yes, Constantine really was shriek- ing with laughter, and squeal- ing as though someone was tickling him. They entered the child's room and .a strange sight met their eyes. Little Constantine was in his cot playing with a real bear cub! The unusual playmate was soon found to be harmless but he was made to leave just the same!
