"PAGE 10 Mother, 36, Wants to Be Evangelist
She Should Solve Her
Own Problems First, Jane Says.
Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will help you work them out by her answers in this cclumn.
EAR JANE JORDAN—I read your column daily, trying to find a problem like my own, but up to date I haven’t found it. I am sorry to burden you with my question. I always have wanted to be “an evangelist, and time nor conditions do not mar that inner call. No difference where I go or what I do I am very unhappy. Some still, small voice seems to say, “Go ye and preach the gospel!” My family makes fun of me and objects, but they are afraid if I did this I would not be here to wait on them. They do not want me to go a single place, not even to church. I never get a kind word and I am very unhappy. Sometimes I feel that I cannot keep from leaving, never to come back. My own mother died a year ago and I wasn’t even allowed to go 50 miles away to her funeral. I am tired of it all and have! no one who is brave enough to advise me; no one even cares. -I have two children, 9 and 12 years of age. I am 36 years old and my husband is 40. .He goes when he pleases. 1 could take care of the two children and go to church too. All I am cared for is as a house servant. What would you do? ? CHRISTIAN. ANSWER—Believe it or not, it isn’t always the voice of God which prompts us to go out into the world and preach. Many times it is the prompting of our own desire to escape disagreeable conditions at home. We cannot say. “I do not love|my family and my family does not love me. At home I am ridiculed and belittled. I count for nothing. I want to get even with those who do not appreciate me by adopting a calling which will make ashamed of themselves and respectful toward me. I want more power than I have at home.” What we do is to cloak our underlying dislike and discontent with noble motives which conceal our real purpose from ourselves and others. As an evangelist you would be obliged to concern yourself with “the problems of others. One of the first requisites of a person who ‘expects to guide others is the ability to solve his own problems.

Mrs. James H. Holton, playing at |

Mrs. Holton sat East and, not realizing that her partner had opened the bidding with less than minimum, strength, naturally decided to try for a slam. West's delayed support In spades, with East's own fit in clubs and an honor in hearts, as well as the diamond strength, suggested no trump as the best contract. Mrs. Holton won the first trick with the king, then laid down the ace of spades, and learned the distribution of that suit. However, she did not give up, but next led the ace of clubs. Then she took four more club tricks, discarding two small diamonds and one spade. South had to find four discards and quite naturdlly threw two small diamonds and two small hearts, retaining the queen, jack, and five of spades, the jack and nine of and the jack of diamonds. Now the diamond finesse was taken, dropping South’s jack. The ace of diamonds followed. South was forced to discard. He dropped a small spade. Mrs. Holton now led the 10 of spades, forcing South to win. South returned a heart, but the ‘ace won in dummy and the spades
in declarer’s hand were all good
for tricks. If South had discarded his hearts,

Adventure Is Breath of A Boy's Life
We Hold Reins Too Tight- |
ly on Child Sometimes, Writer Says.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Adventure is the very breath of a boy’s life. And he will get it, be sure, if not first hand, through the medium of books and movies.
This spirit is so strong in every|
human being, man, woman and child, that .constant repression seeks an outlet in vicarious thrill. If we can’t do the things we dream of, we must go through the sensations of others doing them. This explains the pull of the movies. We demand the magic of the unattainable. So don’t blame the boy or girl who retires into a book, every chance he gets, or begs for money for a show. Denying Child Realism
Here we are preaching realism,
living life first hand instead of sec- |
ond-hand, and at the same time we are steadily denying children the right to it. In many cases it can’t be helped. Cities are no place to turn children loose on their own, or considering the hazards today of cars, the country either. + But sometimes I think we do too much protecting. Not that caution can ever be discarded, but overprecaution may become a habit. We will allow Jim to go along with the nature-study class, out to the woods to observe swelling buds, and coloring branches, but we might not allow a dozen boys to go on a hike for the fun of it. If we allowed a dozen, we might not allow two, even though we convinced ourselves that they were almost entirely safe. Boys prefer to work out individual plans, rather than be merely part of a program. There is no adventure to program. There is nothing of Waring-do in it. And everyone knows that just a little element of risk is what makes adventure.
Learns to Protect Himself
The child will learn valuable lessons, too if he is faced with his own responsibility, learn to protect himself rather than depend upon protection. It might be as well not to hold the reins too tightly. When we deprive a people of the right to risk, they soften and give too much ground to fear. To face problems and overcome them is life itself. So I leave this thought to you. Are you being overly apprehensive about your growing child? Are you, from habit, withholding consent from normal and, we'll say, reasonably safe adventure?
