life of loneliness and deprivation, which left its mark on the marital bond. The first year remained one of confusion and unsettlement for the mother, who in her heart of hearts blamed the child for it, and so raised a barrier between him and the flow of her affection — while this new guest was waiting to find a place for himself in his parents' hearts, or else to resist and do the impossible to win back that right. Had Jamil not gained his parents' help, this would have been his child's fate.

Birth is a natural event, and parents must accept it; and would parents know any happiness if the matter of birth, or its absence, were left to their own decree?..

Parents can adjust the situation to suit their means, then keep every rancor or grudge away from the atmosphere of innocent child-hood and its share of happiness — the psychological reward that parental feeling pours out — and be content with the position they have reached through diligence and struggle, not by preventing a birth or casting off a child already born.

Every human being has his own path in life: taking meals, entertaining friends, then sharing life's pleasures — all these are measures that tell you where you stand in the world and how far you have realized your dreams and hopes. But have you ever thought that these things change the day the new baby appears? You adjust your situation to his demands, and it is right that you should fight to keep the arrangements familiar to you.

You count it a sacrifice to leave your dwelling in order to follow your children's demands, but you receive for it a precious reward if you are aware and patient, when

you see your children — whom you took for barriers — to be the ladder of ascent and contentment in your life!

Many young people hate children, but the birth of a child from the core of their own being changes their view entirely. It matters less how much you wish to watch the child or play with him than that his need be met — the preservation of

the bonds of affection and mutual love between you. Your duty is to make a place for the child in your heart and in your mind, and the finest gift you can give him is your welcome, and the assurance of sound affection in an atmos-phere saturated with understanding and feeling.
