choice. For if you proceed upon what pleases another rather than yourself, yours in life will be the duty of sacrifice, and theirs the prick of conscience; but if you proceed upon what your heart and your mind inspire, there will be good and rightness both for you and for your family.

Q — I am a mother. I feel all the love and tenderness that the word motherhood carries; yet I do not wish this to be my only aim in life. For I feel, in the depths of my love, that in motherhood there is a mission, one concerned with guidance and upbringing.

Is there, then, in devoted indul-gence of our little ones, and in making every difficulty pliant to their wishes, any good for the preparing of their manhood? Or should we leave them to pass through the stages of life solving their problems by themselves?

A — It is true knowledge indeed that motherhood is a mission. It is the mother's duty to lavish tenderness and affection upon her child in his tender years; to enfold him in her fondness and her care as he grows; and to watch over him — with care while he is small, and with guidance when he is grown — without shutting off from him the chance to think, or smoothing every path of action for him by solving his passing problems her-self. For then he will prove unable to manage his affairs and to solve the hard problems of life when he is grown. By being exercised in them while small, he steadies his thinking and his discernment of what is right in them, and grows accustomed to deciding matters — through practice in weighing pref-erences and the fittest of solutions — so that it becomes easy for him, as a man, to bear the responsibility of his own action: if his judgment prove wrong, he meets in his life a useful lesson; and if it prove right, it becomes of itself a spur to progress and success.

Q — Yesterday a quarrel broke out

between me and my neighbor. She is drawn to the cinema to a great degree — she goes three or four times every week, pinching from her family's rationed budget (and she is the mother of four children) to slake this unruly inclination of hers, claiming that this, to her, is life. And she taunts me, because I go only when I am convinced that a film is not to be missed, and that there is benefit in it enough to make up for an outing in the open air, or a sitting with a circle of friends. Which of us is in the right?!

A — There is no doubt that in the cinema there is what benefits and profits, for knowledge is broadened and a person's information grows in many spheres of life. And there is in it, too, what merely pleases and allures without benefit — and

this, to my mind, is the silliest kind of diversion. For in outings in the open air there is what breathes in health and gladdens the soul. And in a gathering with friends there is a delight in which thoughts meet and are watered, and in which souls find rest and take comfort — and it is, upon my life, a pressing necessity, now that fellowship among people in our society has taken to slouching down the slope of selfishness; it is the seed of understanding

and tranquillity among individuals — indeed, it is gaiety for the soul at no cost.

And as I see it, you are in the right in what you do.

Q — I thanked my Lord that I am not in a country other than ours, where the darlings of one's
