Nor do they point out how large a percentage of wayward girls and unmarried mothers come from broken iamilles which, by failing to solve their own prob lems, have left their children to suffer for their mistakes. There was a 12-year-old boy whose parents got a divorce and placed him in a boarding school. One. afternoon, the headmaster came to tell him that a table had been arranged for him because his father was coming to dinner, bringing his new wife, so that the boy could meet tils stepmother. The boy was embarrassed but took the news very quietly. An hour later, the distressed head master once more came In search of him. "Your mother just telephoned," he said, "that she will be here for dinner, bringing her new hus band. She wants you to know your stepfather." The child was very white. "What will the other boys think?" he burst out, and then, with a bit terness beyond his years, "Oh, the hell with it!" He flushed. "1 beg your pardon, sir," he said. That night he sat between a stepfather and stepmother, neither of whom he had ever seen before, while his own parents looked on complacently, and, farther away, ,the curious eyes of his school mates watched. He was very quiet and very well-behaved. For days afterwards, he lay in the in firmary, too sick to move. HPHE religious ceremony has stood as the cornerstone upon wmcn thousands upon thousands of marriages have' been founded. Those marriages pass before my eyes like a giant kaleidoscopic picture. A young couple came In not long ago to be married, accom panled by the groom's parents. After the wedding, the older cou ple come up to me, "We have been married 25 years," the man said, "but it was a civil marriage, and my wife has always felt that it had not been truly sanctified." "I wonder," the woman asked, blushing a little, "if you would bless our marriage?" A young soldier whom I mar ried was terribly anxious to have a child. He was with his wife for two months and left, at length, believing that he was not to have one. A few weeks later, his wife wrote to him, "Wo are going to have a baby. I know how happy you will be." In reply there came a letter from the boy's commanding offi cer. The day the letter came, the boy was killed In action, but not before he had read It. They found it tucked in the little book of prayer the church had given him, and on It he had scrawled an answer to his wife. "If I do not como back," he wrote, "do not grieve for mc. You have given me the greatest hap piness in life. You will have sumething of mine and I will be carrying on into the future. Marriage is the rock on which our- civilization Is founded. Too often unsuccessful, it can be made the most magnificent and satisfy ing experience in life. It has floundered and gone down not on big obstacles but, for the most part, on little ones. And yet there is no one who cannot, if he will. solve the little things. Love and romance, rich and rewarding, stand at our side, and we see them only in shadow on the movie screen, unattainable, remote, unreal. Here is your life, now. at hand. Take It and welcome it and mold it to the heart's desire. (The End) McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc. Official Records Water turned on, June 11: Grover Craig, 180!)
