JANE JORDAN—-
FAR JANE JORDAN—I was married June 15, 1935, and separated recently. I wanted to go places once in a while, but my husband wanted to stay at home all the time. He wouldn't let me even visit my sister of whom he is very jealous. He is 31 and I am 23.
I admit I could -have done bett: husband and feel that he still love
er, but so could he. I love my s me, but he was the boss and
loved telling me what to do. He always could find something to
argue about. This is the second tim
e we have been separated and I
believe that his pride will keep us from going back together, as he
“has tried so hard to hurt me.
He left me; so should I get a divorce, kuowing that we both still
care? He has applied for divorce.
Should I
ntest it? I know he
doesn’t want a divorce. He just wants to hurt me. What should I do?
- 8 8 =
L.P.C
~ Answer—Your husband can’t get a divorce from you without grounds. If the charges he brings against you are untrue, you have ‘every right to contest his action and should do so.
Your troubles do not sound serious to me.
The things you cite
sound more like the spats of two children than the irreconcilable
differences of adults. My guess is
that neither of you have: had
good training in co-operation with others. Each wants his own way
and won't give an inch.
I believe that you should have let your husband be the boss. The male has been boss of the family clan since human beings ran
in tribes and any departure from
this custom is apt to result in
unhappiness. The trouble with his bossing was that he did it with the selfishness of a petulant child and it failed to inspire your
respect. On the other hand you could
have done a lot to help him by
deferring to his opinion and respecting his wishes when they were
eveni half way reasonable. Most women are accustomed to getting
their own way by indirect methods which skillfully place the male in the role of an indulgent, kindly husband rather than an auto-
cratic, crat
boss Your sister could have helped you a great deal by playing up to your husband's ego and agreeing with him even if she had to stretch a point. No man likes to feel that two women have combined against him. Doubtless your sister was critical of your husband and he
knew it. He must have felt that instead of the other way round.
Let your husband get his anger
she influenced you against him against you out of his system.
Learn not to protest until his wrath has died down. Then you can reason with him calmly and accomplish a lot. This is the way we
deal with recalcitrant children.

NE may say for the, comfort of those who have to teach this lesson on Uzziah, “the king who forgot God,” that it is a most difficult lesson to teach. One wonders at times why, with so many fine passages in the Bible which are clear and /beyond any question as to their meaning and their application to life today, the distinguished Christian leaders who have selected the lessons should have gone so far out of their way to choose a passage which inevitably involves questions and difficulties. It is not often that one has such a complaint to make concerning the lessons, for most of them are at least very clear in their application. But if any teacher feels himself in difficulties with this lesson, he may take some comfort from the fact that com-
also do not find it easy. : The-facts as recorded in the lesson are simple. Ugzziah began to reign as king of Judah when he was 16 years old, and he reigned for 52 years. On the whole his rule is recorded as good, and it is stated that it was right in the eyes of the Lord “according to all that his father Amaziah had done.” We are told also that he set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, and
prospered. But the record goes on to say that when_.he was strong and his heart was lifted up, he turned from this good course and acted corruptly. It is especially charged against him that he went into the temple to burn incense upon the altar. ‘ The priests, who regarded this as their sacred and holy right, strongly opposed him, and we are told when Uzziah was

he ‘was suddenly stricken with leprosy. = 2 2 HE story leaves one with some embarrassing questions. The record we have was probably written by some priestly writer. Was Uzziah’s offense a real sin, an act of paganism, or was it merely an ecclesiastical offense, a matter of authority and privilege? It is easy, of course, to modernize the lesson and make it a case of the head of the state invading and interfering in the offices of religion and to have an offense against our modern American idea of the separation of church and state. But somehow, one would like to have Uzziah's side of the story. Did a king so noble and good, whose reign was so fraught with all that was fine and progres-
and just punishment? Also, are we to teach the young that when they do wrong, judgment will come upon them thus quickly and severely? The Bible itself, in its whole teaching, is in conflict with that idea, It teaches clearly enough that sin finds man out, and that evil-doing inevitably and surely brings evil consequences. But it also teaches that these are not always apparent. The Bible speaks of the wicked flourishing and spreading himself like the green bay (tree, while at the same time it presents to us the saints of God suffering cruelly and unjustly, but sacrificially, for the sins of others. If we are to teach a lesson like this with any realism, it must be in the atmosphere of this larger experience and teaching of the Bible. One wishes that lessons were chosen with the purpose of this making the larger aspect of the main highways
of Scripture more emphasized and
