weeds would grow there. He scattered
salt on the milk weeds and the sheep killed
them out, and he then sowed to rye and
pastured with sheep, blowing under, then
planted beans and got good crop. This
worthless land was, by use of sheep, soon
converted into fertile land. Sheep can be

Much Of the pleasure and success Of our
lives depends on our frindships. We are
generally Judged bv the company we keep
This Is, perhaps. not always fair. but it is
true, nevertheless. If we strike hands
with the gay and frivolous, or worse. So
if our companions are good and true,
we will get the reputation for being like
them.
Oar character. too. must be affected by
our associations. 1t is impossible to touch
pitch, and not be detied. We cannot
long be in intimate contact with Others
without being Influenced bv their ways of
thinking and doing. The intimacies
which young people form, more than
most other things, make or break them.
1t Is OF the utmost Importance therefore.
that our friendships be true and good.
Then, also. what a blessing a real. faith
fui friend is! In times of glddue>s and
prosperity, 1t is delightful for Us to have
some one in whom we can cOnfde. and we
are sure will rejoice VITA us. But espec.
tally in times of doubt and trial do we
need a wise and true friend-5ne who will
cling to us through evil as well as good re-
mort, and render us the help we need.
Lick Of such friends has often been the
cause of despair. Get true friends, Young
people and hold fast 70 them.
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Gupple them 10 thy soul with hooks of steel
