Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 23, No. 20. Delivered by W. L. Hutcherson Over Station KFII. The Radio Vesper Hour Sunday August, 17 1940. Editor's Note—It was my privilege to hear this message. Realizing that there were many of our readers who did not hear it, we therefore asked Captain Hutcherson for the privilege of running it vertically in The Negro Star—(Mrs.) Virginia M. Sims. During the decade 1919 to 1929, there were more books written about Jesus than in any preceding five centuries. All over the world men are making a new study, reeking a new discovery of Jesus. They want to know what message he has for such a world as the one in which we find ourselves, today, likewise, individually, men are seeking to discover the place of Jesus in their individual philosophies. Therefore, I have been re-evaluating His message and meaning for me, personally: and I shall endeavor to share it with you. Of one thing I am fairly certain: Jesus is not for me just the figure at memorial alt, literature and to some extent ecclesiastical findings have sought to make Him. I prefer to see Him as He was, a member of a despised race, a Jew who with a singularly penetrating sense of life, its meaning, experiences and values gathered up and demonstrated in His life that which I believe to be God's pattern for all mankind. For me Jesus means among other things suffering, rejection, defeat, death, miserable death on a shameful cross. But if Jesus was despised, rejected and crucified; if He means suffering and shame, He also means something which presents Him in another light and at the same time does not do away with any of those characteristics, does not deny them, forget them or leave them behind. Jesus gave glory and dignity to shame. He enobled suffering and He robbed death, even on the cross of its meaning and turned it into life. What, therefore, would otherwise for me be dark is now illuminated because of Jesus; what would otherwise fill me with fear I now face because of Jesus; bitterness, hatred and desire for retaliation in life's experiences are temptations which ore can face and often defeat because of Jesus. Jesus means therefore not only power and victory but hope that in spite of the force of the natural man, a greater force may prevail, even love, which is at once the cause and result if the hope which Jesus inspires. In truth "He lifts us up, shows us the best and tells us it may be," and to pre Jesus means that the be-t may be because it was in Hilm. Thus it has been through the certitudes and to man everywhere. To Me An African. There is something at once arresting about the universal appeal of Jesus; in fact that is one of His most significant meanings; He is for all. In Him and among those who truly follow Him there is revealed a glorious fact which cuts across rational and racial lines and cleavages; that is the fact of a unity in life and of life because of a transcending unity which He reveals in God and of God. But the significance of what has just been said exists in the fact that Jesus has become a power, a loving force in the life of members of various races and rations and that the universality of love and the sense of unity wild all men which obtain in Him have not destroyed the unique or particular racial interpretation of His meaning. Things being as they are, Jesus is bound to have a slightly different meaning for a Negro compared, let us say, to His meaning for a Scandinavian. Jesus has a particular meaning for me because I am a Negro and I must speak of that meaning from the point of view of what I am. Rabbi Steven S. Wise tells the story of a Jew who being asked to write on elephants, prepared a treatise in "Elephants and the Jewish (Continued next week) CASH MARKET A greatly increased cash market for corn every year may be anticipated if a favorable decision is rendered by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde on a proposal now before him to modify a ruling governing the use of corn sugar in certain food products. So claim the proponents of the change who appeared recently at hearings before the Department of Agriculture at Washington. Under existing definitions, refined coin sugar may be used in confectionery, ice cream and bakery products without special label mention, and enormous amounts are being used every year by these food manufacturers. But the leitions of certain food products such as sweet pickles, catsup, canned fruits and vegetables and preserved fruit, and also carbonated beverages such as ginger ale, will not permit the use of refined corn sugar in their preparation without so mentioning on the label, and Secretary Hyde has been asked to modify this. Advocates of the proposal at the hearings claimed that the public will not purchase food products freely which mention the use of refined corn sugar on the label, because it has been taught to believe that mention of a particular ingredient implies that the foods are inferior or adulterated. They cited as proof that over 130,000,000 pounds of refined corn sugar was used last year by manufacturers of confectionery ice cream and bakery products which require no label mention, while practically none was used in the preparation of other foods in which the noting of refined corn sugar is required. This they said, means that the present definitions, by preventing food manufacturers from exercising a choice, are standing in the way of a greatly increased use of corn sugar, and hence the consumption of corn. The manufacturers of corn products are now using 86, 000, 000 buchels of corn a year or about a third of the corn coming to the markets, and it was estimated at the hearings that consumption would be increased anywhere from 20, 000, 000 to 40, 000, 000 bushels a year if these discriminatory restrictions were removed.

EDUCATION REDUCES CHILD ACCIDENT EDUCATION REDUCES CHILD ACCIDENT A primary reason for the steadily increasing toll of automobile accidents that have attempted to meet changed conditions with old, inadequate laws. In many states traffic laws have not been revised to any extent since the on-cart days. More and more cars strong highways. Congestion in increases. Speed ranges rise. The chance of accident grows constantly greater. And until traffic laws are modernized and standardized, the accident problem will increase. Last year our laxity resulted in the deaths of 31,000 persons and untold property damage. Only a few states make it necessary for a driver, before using the public highways, to learn how to operate his car and understand the rules of the road. In the others anyone, irrespective of his competence, is allowed to drive a high-powered, potentially, deadly vehicle on crowded highways, where he is a menace to the lives and property of all other motorists. The bright spot in the traffic situation is the condition respecting children The adoption of safety teaching by progressive schools throughout the nation has resulted in an amazing decrease in accidents to children. Such a demonstration should encourage more intensive efforts in the future. Accident prevention has been great- WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 22, 1930 MANUFATURING AN ISSUE As we approach November, and the off-year elections, the so-called "power trust" has once more become a leading topic of political argument. Office seekers must have an issue. The very term "power trust" has an ominous sound that some persons think can be turned to the purpose of vote getting. There is reason for believing how ever, that the public is less interested in vague accusations than in actual facts. And here the argument against the power industry fall somewhat short. No matter how forcibly its critics attack it, the fact remains that the price of electricity is low and is getting lower. No matter how much they talk of watered stock and unfair valuations, the people know that electric service is on a higher standard than ever before. And no matter how much they say regarding the colossus of interconnection and break-down of regulatory facilities, every one who can read knows that interconnection has made it possible to provide hundreds or thousands of farms and villages with the same type of service enjoyed in great cities, and that the electric utilities have time and again signified their readiness to cooperate with the states in strengthening regulation. At any rate, power will came in for a great deal of "political" attention between now and November, after which it will probably be forgotten until 1932. Politics must have an issue, and rhetoric can sometimes obscure facts. THE MANUFACTURER AND IN- DUSTRIAL NEWS BUREAU LOOK BEFORE LEAPING Those western states in which there has been agitation to increase the tax burden borne by the mining industry would do well to look before they leap. Recently the prices of several basic metals dropped to the lowest point in years, due to causes outside the control of the domestic industry. Almost over night mining profits reached the vanishing point. It requires no seer to forecast what would happen to the industry if, under such a situation, it was forced to pay a tax rate making it difficult even in good times to earn an adequate return on its investment Mining should pay its full, and equitable share of public taxes,which it does; but it should not be penalized in order to provide a dubious and unbound variety of "relief" for other industries. Wage earners and the public would be the greatest losers from any such policy. ESAU Weary and faint, and famishing, Hear foolish Essau cry, "What profits my birthright to me, If I perish and die? Give me a meee of pottag fine, Ireoh, and my birthright is thine. " Listen now, to his sad lament; 'Husser is satisfied, But, rather than my birthright lose Better that I had died; A curse my folly brings to me, And doom to my portcity" Listen, whoe'er may be inclined As did Essau, of old, Your own birthright to trade away, For silver, or for gold,-- For thing that perish--and beware, Lest you the fate of Essau share! ly aided by casualy insurance companies. The public should join wholeheartedly in efforts to reduce uncalled-for accidents. Devotional services at 11 o'clock. Scripture lesson, 8th chapter, 1st Cor.

The state hns accelerated its highway program. Thirty thousand workers on Iowa roads will earn $18,000,000 this year. And a multitude of cities, towns and rural communities will enjoy the prosperity that always accompanies intensive road building. At the end of 1920, nine-tenths of its roads were mud. At the end of 1930 eight-tenths of them will be surfaced The greatest present road need is the construction of practical and comparatively inexpensive secondary, farm-to-market highways that will give agricultural communities all-ear contact with their markets. The American Farm Bureau Federation has repeatedly pointed out that so long as 5,000,000 of the 6, 250,000 American farmers are barred from these markets during several months of the year by mud, we will have a farm problem increasing sensness. The modern application of asphalt and road oils to dirt, macadam and gravel surfaces is making possible the building of tens of thousands of miles of low cost, waterproof surface, secondary roads which would have been out of the junction a decade ago. PROHIBITING PISTOLS "A man walked into the office of The Post the other day and presented a pistol at the editor's head," says an editorial in the Bridgeport, Connecticut, Post, of May 16, 1930. "Fortunately for the editor the pistol wasn't loaded and the person behind it was neither a hold-up man nor an indignant subscriber. He was Carl Naramore, Bridgeport manufacturer and small arms expert. The pistol which Mr. Naramore armed was a peculiar looking affair but examination of it showed that it was perfectly capable of firing a bullet with destructive effect. It was a 'home brewed' pistol which Mr... Naramore had constructed in the rubbish pile or work bench of the cellar of his home with materials available in the rubbish pile or work bench of the average home. He made it with the expenditure of not more than a few hours' time and demonstrated to the editor's satisfaction that what he had done others could do. The editor in an unguarded moment had written that prohibitive laws governing pistols could be more readily enforced than other prohibitive laws because the manufacture of pistols was an elaborate process which couldn't be duplicated in everybody's cellar. Mr. Naramore disproved this statement and the editor hereby retracts it. Pistols can be made at home. "The incident taught the editor a lesson: that a mass is on the safest ground when he is sticking to his principles. The Post editor has generally maintained the principle that in seeking to remedy an abuse, the law should confine itself to that abuse and not, by the issuance of a general prohibition, forbid the exercise of rights and privileges which could not be construed as constituting an abuse. Mr Naramore demonstrated that pistol prohibition would only drumm the honest citizens while leaving the crooks free either to obtain pistols by surreptitious methods or by manufacturing them in their own cellars. Like other prohibitions, this one would defeat its own purpose." By A. B. Mann Antigone According to mythology, this girl, Antigone was the daughter of Oedipus, and, wehn her father became THE HUMAN TORCH. THE FOLLY A blow torch in the hands of a mechanic working on a car in front of a garage suddenly exploded and flames quickly enveloped the man's clothes. Terrified, and crying out in pain, he ran to the home of a neighbor who endeavored to beat out the flare with her hands. As a result, the she was communicated to her clothing and to her house; she was burned, her home was damaged and the mechanic was terribly scarred. Incidentally, two automobiles were also destroyed. When clothing catches fire, according to literature published by The National Board of Fire Underwriters, one should get down on the ground on the floor and roll in an attempt to smother the flames. If possible wrap a rug or other woolen material around the body, starting at the neck to avoid lashing the flame. When one remains standing he soon becomes a living torch, as the flames spread quickest in this position. Running is still worse, as that fans the fire to greater intensity. The National Board's literature is widely distributed in an effort to reduce the suffering and losses from fire. Approximately 6,000 people d'e annually as a result of fires in homes, 31 per cent of the victims being women and children. Fire occurs in an American home every two minutes in the year, on the average. No further incentive should be necessary to urge the American people to protect their homes and families from the ravages of fire. blind, she denied herself the pleasure of youthful companionship and other legitimate pleasures and shut herself in with her blind father for whom she cared until his death. Who would deny that she is entitled to a place among the sacrificing heroes of mankind.? In this age of tremble conscience, calloused sensibilities, and fallal forgetfulness, many children are indifferent to the interests of their parents. Aged and afflicted parents are left to suffer; and this is especially true of fathers. Under these conditions it might be well to magnify the devotion of Antigone. The most lamentable feature of this whole story is that the devotion was misinterpreted and this girl was accused of incest with her blind father. What a sham! In works on psychanalysis the so-called "Oedipus Complex" has reference to this case. Such may be the circumstances in other lines of duty, but every girl, and every other person, should face duty and do it regardless of cruel and murder to take impress This image contains no text. The Fate of Lo—The mythical Lo was a beautiful, innocent maiden who was unfortunate in attracting the attention and inspiring the love of the god Jupiter. There is nothing to indicate that she invited this love nor sought thus to influence Jupiter. The double moral standard obtained, and willingly or unwillingly she accepted Jupiter's love. The ancients attributed human passions to their gods so it was not natural that June, wife of Jupiter should become calous and take venance. The method of venance in this case was that she transformed Lo into a helper. She selected this form in order that Lo might become repulsive to Jupiter and humiliated in the sight of all others. Moral: The moral is that innocent maidens had better be careful how they trample with married men. Under these circumstances men make extravagant promises, pledge unfulfillability and ample protection. But often, they forget these promises. Married men, mathematical or real, have nothing to offer innocent maidens but flirt: love with its dancer and inviolable penalties. Inevitably will come loathey betred, and venerece of the wife of the married convert who in these things will be merciless as a tiger. Io was changed into a helper, something considered low, debased, degraded. So humiliation and suffering will come to all I lose and as in all areas, "But I love him I am not wishing anthology, because he does not love his wife" "I will diversen her and marry me" there are some of the expressions used to justify such departures as caused the downfall of In. If the boys of this age would avoid serious trouble, escape shame and disgrace, penal servitude, devastating disease and premature death, Five Cents Per Copy. (The Literary Service Bureau) Gehazi was the servant of the prophet Elisha, who healed Naaman, perhaps the most famous leper of all ages. Elisha had refused the presents sent by the king of Syria, and it was in connection with this refusal that Gehazi committed his folly and incurred the severe penalty. The servent looked with covetous eyes on the presents which his master refused, and, after the departure of Naaman, Gehazi ran and overtook him and said, "My master has changed his mind and has decided to accept a talent of silver and two changes of garments to be given to two sons of the prophets. Then, he took these things and hid them in his own house. Elisha called the guilty servant to account and pronounced the penalty. It is recorded, "Ile went out from his presence a leper, white as snow." Gehazi got what he went after but he lost what he had—his master's confidence, his own character and reputation, his health and his innocence; and perhaps his soull This story of Gehazi and its tragic ending is as old as human folly, greed and avarice; and of human sin and resultant punishment. Here are a few other examples: Esau got his mess of potage, but lost his birthright. The wicked brothers of Joseph got their money from the Iareahites, but lost their peace. David got the beautiful wife of Uziah, but lost the coveted privilege of building the temple. Solomon got what he desired in lustful pleasure, but he lost his uprightness, his peace, his reason--and maybe, his own soull Judas got his thirty pieces of silver, but lost everything! Thus will it ever be with covetous Gehazua-- They will get what they go after, if they are willing to pay the price but their loss will be infinitely more than their gain. Let those who are inclined to be covetour beware. (The Literary Service Bureau) The world will ever condemn Jacob for deceiving his father, defrauding his brother, and taking this brother's birthright for a mess of potage. But it will also censure Esau who was foolish enough and weak enough to sell his birthright. Yet, in this enlightened age thousands of boys, and men, are committing greater folly. Esau's birthright made him a master, and loss of it made him a servant. Having it gave him preeminence, but loosig it made him subordinate. It guaranteed to him and to his posterior a priceless heritage all of which was lost when he sold it. He envied and his honor coveted, but after he had sold it he became an object of derision. He sold something substantial for that which was of but temporary utility. His action caused grief, sorrow, and remorse; but there was no escaping the penalty. The Bible tells us that "He sought it with prayers and tears, but retribution was inexorable. There are thousands who, like Esau, bartered priceless possessions for trifles. Languishing in prisons are thousands who gave up liberty for ill-gotten wealth. Thousands are dying because they bartered health for the pleasures of carnal indulgence. Many gave up all their peace for that which leaves but residue of remorse and sorrow. And so runs the story of folly and suffering. Every boy is a son of God. He has a priceless heritage of goodness, of nobility. The enemy constantly offers to him temporary pleasure, dazzling beauty, the ultimate in worldly enjoyment. But thus tempted, every boy had better beware, less he sell his birthright for a mess of unsatisfying pottage. they must recover the Book of God's Law and restore His statutes to their rightful place in their hearts and lives. Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By RV P R FITZWATFR D D, Member of Faculty, Mandy Hinkle Institute of Chicago) (2. 1930, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for August 24 JONATHAN AND DAVID; A NOBLE FRIENDSHIP LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 18 1-41:20 24-17, 22, 34, 41, 42. II Samuel 11 17-27 GOLDEN TEXT—A man that hath friends must show himself friendly and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother PRIMARY TOPIC—Two True Friends JUNIOR TOPIC—David and Jonathan. Friends INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Finding Worthy Friends YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Friend Who Does Not Fall. The friendship of David and Jonathan has become immortalized in the world's thought. It was unique in that it occurred between two men of rival worldly interests. Jonathan was the crown prince, heir to the throne according to hereditary rights. David was help by divine choice and arrangement. Jonathan knew this and magnanimously waived his natural personal rights in favor of the one he knew God had chosen. 1. Friendship Established Between David and Jonathan (1 Sam. 13:1-4). 1. Love at sight (1. 1. 2). Following the interview of Saul and David, after the victory over Gisulf, Jonathan's soul was built with that of David. He loved David as his own soul. While there was mutual love, this pleasing trait stands out more prominently in Jonathan than in David. 2. A covenant established (sv, 3, 4). The bringing of David into Saul's home give opportunity for expression of love between Jonathan and David. This love resulted in the establishment of a covenant between them. Following this love covenant, Jona than stripped himself of his court robe and his equipment and gave them to David. This act was a virtual abdication of the throne to David. 11. Jonathan Defended David Against Gaul's Frenzy (1 Saum, 1917:7). David went into the battle with Goliath out of zeal for God and true religion, not for personal glory, but it turned out as always, that because he put God first, God honored him. On David's return from victory over the Philistines, according to oriental custom, he was met by a triumphal chorus of women of all the cities of Israel, chanting praises to him for his victory over their enemy. They ascribed more praise and honor to David than to Saul. To hear sung the praises of a shepherd boy as surpassing his own was too much for Saul. It aroused murderous envy which had been slumbering in his heart and moved him to attempt twice to kill David. This is not an imaginary sin. Its counterpart may be found in many of our own hearts. The only cure for this dreadful evil is to put God first—to think more of him and our duty to him than our reputation before men. In Saul's third attempt to kill David, Jonathan defended him before his father, from whom he secured the oath that David should not be slain. III. Jonathan Revealed to David Saul's Murderous Attempt (I Sam. 20:30-40). The beginning of the new moon was celebrated by sacrifices and feasting at which all the members of the family were expected to be present (v. 5). David's excuse for being absent was that he might go home to attend the yearly sacrifice of his family. The annual feast was more important than the monthly feast. Matters were now so serious that Jonathan and David renewed the covenant between them. In this renewal the terms were broadened beyond the life of Jonathan (vv. 14, 15). Saul's anger was now so fierce that for Jonathan to be found in David's company was most dangerous, so he cleverly planned a sign by which he could make known to David Saul's attitude and purpose. True friendship is proven in warning those who are exposed to danger. Concerning friendships, observe: 1. It should be made while both parties are young. This is the time when hearts are capable of being knit together. 2. Real friends are few. Great care should be exercised in the formation of friendships, for white loving everybody, it is possible to have only a few friends. 3. Both parties must be God fearing David and Jonathan both recognized their obligation to the Lord, and that his help was essential to the welfare of both. IV. David Mourns for Jonathan (II Sam. 1:17:27). When David learned of Jonathan's death he sincerely mourned, remember his undying loyalty and his personal worth. Love is the Conqueror Love alone in this world is the conqueror; by love alone can the nations of the world be brought into the paths of peace; to pursue and to attain love is to pursue the one thing needful to attain the only thing in the world—Rt.

S WISE WORDS FROM CANADA Advocates of unconditional compulsory insurance for automobiles would do well to read a report on the subject made by a commission in Ontario, Canada. The report strongly recommends against compulsory insurance, and favors the enactment of a financial responsibility law of the type in effect in several American states. The compulsory insurance laws, says the report, and the financial responsibility laws differ fundamentally in one point: "While the earliest compulsory insurance required all to insure on a certain day, the Safety Responsibility Laws leave a motorist alone until he has been convicted of a serious violation of the Highway Traffic Law or Criminal Law, it has caused serious or substantial injury through motor accident. This difference makes the Safety Responsibility Law more logical, more acceptable, more workable, and less oppressive, and has the great merit if only affecting motorist who have themselves demonstrated that they are careless or reckless. Thus, the vast majority of careful drivers are untouched by the law. ....." Unconditional compulsory insurance, in other words, penalizes the many because of the dangerous few, while financial responsibility laws place the burden where it belongs on those who cause accidents. It is worthy of mention that unconditional compulsory insurance tried for several years in Massachusetts, has been productive of chaos and dispute. It has driven insuran companies from the state and congested the courts, while the accident rate has not gone down. In contrast to this, other states with responsibility laws report they have been highly successful. A MORE LOGICAL SUPPOSITION Throughout the nation a number enterprising gentlemen seeking public office seem determined to put the so-called "power issue" into politics. It is, of course, their right to denounce the utilities, state commissions, rate and financial structures and to demand government ownership and operation of the industry. But it may prove that this is poor political capital. It is doubtful if the American public con be raised to a state of excitement regarding power. It will much more liably be unresponsive (Continued on page three) The Negro Star—tor the Good of the People WICHITA'S BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL INDEX DR. HUGH N.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION The new Tariff Commission of six members will administer the flexible provisions of the 1930 Tariff Act. It is stated that President Hoover desires to make the Tariff Commission a permanent scientific body working continuously and exclusively in this subject in somewhat the way the Interstate Commerce Commission works at our railway rate structure. If he succeeds in this attempt he will have accomplished more toward taking the tariff out of politics than any Chief Executive in the nation's history. The time is ripe for such an effort. The country is tired of seeing "tariff tinkering" made a partisan football and a log-rolling contest.

(Note: For advice on various problems write Maxie Miller, care Literary Service Bureau, 634 Franklin, Avenue, Kauas City, Kaunsas. For personal reply send postage) The letter which suggests this article would be amusing if it were not for the seriousness of the writer. He must be unusually unsophisticated. He writes: Dear Maxie Miller, I am in trouble I've been writing to a fine girl, and just stopped writing, what is the reason? Should I keep writing to her? I am going with another girl, but I don't like her as well as the one that's gone. Would it be best to stick to the girl here, that treats me right? I am thinking of going to the city where this girl is. Would you? J.B. Well, J B. the reason this girl does not write is just that she has not much interest in you. Perhaps in the large city, this smalltown girl is attracted by same one else. You cannot make her write and it would be foolish to try. The fact that you are going with another girl, shows as is generally true of men, you are not playing the game fair, and that the matter is not so very serious with you after all. Stick to the one that treats you right Sure! "A bird in the hand" is worth a dozen that have flown away! If this girl at home treats you right bank on her and forget the other one as she probably is doing concerning you. Follow the other girl! For what J. R. If she has not interest enough to write she would not want to see you. Associated with new friends of a new type, the probability is that she would be ashamed of you and your experience and she might actually knub you. There is an amusing saving with a measure of truth and that runs "Never run after a street car or woman; there will be another along soon." Then J.

Here is a letter from one of the "57 varieties" of female weaklings of which there are thousands in this country. They are of all classes. But here is the letter: Dear Maxie Miller: I am worried and puzzled and I am asking advice. I am 23, intelligent, fairly good looking, moderately educated and I have no interest in what is termed, "a career." I'd rather get married and have a home--but I just don't want no children! I have a plenty admirers and have had a number of proposals, and I can get married at any time, if I say so. There's a fine boy woh is just wild about me, and I think I love him, but this business of children is in the way; he wants children and I don't!" The letter continues: "You see, Maxie Miller, I love pleasure and just can't the myself down. Then I think of myself as fat, with a double chin, expanded hips, bloated abdomen and wobbly ankles. In such a case I am afraid my husband might be attracted by some more shapely woman, perhaps some wiry, grinning flapper. Then I have the picture of myself remaining as I am, retaining my form and attractiveness and losing my husband who might even prefer illegitimate children to none, at all. O, what shall I do? Dilemma. Well, "Dilema," first of all, you are young, yet. Your mind is plastic and very apt to change. You are not in love, yet, and there should be no marriage without love. A girl of 23, in love, would not allow such a thing to cause hesitation very long; so I know you are not in love or you would not allow this to stand between you and happiness with the man you loved. If this young man loves children, as you say the probability is that he would not be happy without them. It is true that his love might stray and your fears of illegitimate issue be realized. Or he might become morose, cross and disagreeable and your home be an unhappy one. But, another thing, Dilema, a woman does not always lose her beauty in childbearing. There is something in it that tends to develop her. But, if there should come physical change the experience will so modify, enrich and temper her inner life so as to make her substantially more attractive. Then, there are a few men who ever lose interest in the women who go to the gates of death to bear children for them. I tell you a little child is the strongest possibly tie between a man and his wife! When you are in love, get married and forget your fears—let your "wobbly ankles" take care of themselves.
