H-A TEsr or FRiRSDimp.-It is
one Of the seyerest tests of friendship
to tell man of his faults. If you are
angry with a man, it is not hard to go
to him and stab him with words, sting

him in the presence Of bis foes, but so
to love a man that you cannot bear TO
see the stain of sin upon him, and TO
go to him alone, aud SPEAK painful
truths in touching, tender words-that
is friendship, and Ia friendship as rare
as il is precious.
