Henry W. INaisbitt delivered an ad-
dress on the subject of Companion
ship" He said the natural drift of all
human nature was towards companion
ship. Very small children take delight
in the presence of other children, boys
for boys and girls for girls. As they
grow to older children, a disposition to
the society of the opposite sex is
evinced 1t was an instinct of nature
to seek those of similar habits and dis
positions. As we grow in life the habit
increases, until most young men and
young women has confidant Of some
one of their own sex. As years advance
this companionship increases beyond
that feeling of confidence which exists
between parents and children. This
feeling often extends into mature man
hood and womanhood, as illus rated by
Damon and Pylhias, and David al d
Jonathan. These friendships or com
panIonships exert an influence through
out our lives. A consideration from man
towards woman exists, and woman to-
wards man. without regard to any init
mate relations. Good associations lead
to The refinement and culture of a
young woman. more readily so tn an
with the young men. Whe the asst C /.
ton Are bad the contrary is the'fact and
whether good or bad, the result is the
effect of COMPREHENSIVE. There can be
NJ communion between persons unless
they agree. Hence light clings to light,
I'd evil to evil The companionship of
t ne sexes in social life is an important
flctor in the foundation of all religious
society. Society would become chaotic
were it not for the influences of COM
papiOn>hip. Our Sunday School Union.
Mutual improvement Associations, and
Relief Societies, offer opportunities of
cjmpanlonship which will lead event
u lily to eternal lives and happiness.
There are also opportunities in. our
C immunity for associations and COM
panionshlp which will lead to degrade
ton and misery. To avoid these, our
efforts should be eXerted that we NAV
shield our sons and daughters from the
designing and wicked. Our youth should
remember that they are not under any
obi cations t. acknowledge attentions
from strangers, or to form companion
ship with those only with whom they
are well acquainted. Our associations.

will unQuestionably lead US into the
same habits. The power of companions

with love, happiness and prosperity, or

advise our young people to consider
well this subject of "companionship.
and act wisely in selecting their COM
panions.
