—one kind is the result of brain
damage; the other is a break
down in our ability to meet life,
cused by guilta, fer, humiliation,
continued failure, repection or
insecurity. Sometimes our emo
tional upsets are disturbances be
come complicated — then we
need treatment by a doctor and
often require hospitalization.
Today there are about three
quarters of a million people un
der the care of mental hospitals
in the United States. There are
more people in mental hospitals
than those hospitalized for po
lio, cancer, heart disease, tu
berculosis and all other diseases
combined. Twenty years ago, a
person’s chance of being hospita
lized for a sever mental illness
was 1 in 20; today, it is nearly
1 in 10. More than 10 million
Americans —1 in every 16—are
now suffering from some form of
mental disorder.
Those who suffer from men
tal illness are the children of
God. As Christians, we are con
cerned for all men everywhere.
Jesus came healing the sick —the
sick in mind as well as the sick
in body.
W. S. C. S. members have a
responsibility to find out who
the people in our emmunity are
who need help. We should join
with others in the community
who are trying to get better fa
cilities for treatment of the men
tally ill. We should become bet
ter informed about mental ill
ness. We can visit, write letters,
send gifts and pray for those
who are disturbed and mentally
ill. Kindness, understanding, pa
tience and a Christian spirit can
do wonders toward curing those
cast upon the island of mental
illness.”
BITS OF SOUTHERN
SUNSHINE
MAMIE OZBURN ODUM
IN BABY HANDS
I love each tiny breeze and sun
lit ray
They bring new hope to cheer
me day by day;
I love the homey tasks that
must be done
The “comfy” work that
comes from sun to sun.
I love the wide-eyed wonder of a
child
With tender smiling lips yet un
defiled;
My heart races to meet the
dancing feet
And wait the little arms so
so soft and sweet.
I love the childish chatter, like
a song
The call for bread and butter all
day long.
And soft, sweet memories
stir, and clings
To tender touch of little
homey things;
And with a grateful heart that
understands
That all my joys are cupped in
baby hands.
