TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
FRIENDS OF THE C. c.: In answer TO Minnie Cur
ry g question, . hat is a true friend? Will give
definition. Friend: F, Fidelity; K, Rivers Of
love; ], Infinite love; i, Endless love; N Never
dying love; ID, Death itself cannot part with the
memory of having known and loved a true friend.
"A true friend will share your SORROWS AS well as
your joys; will stand by you in time Of trouble,
when clouds of despair overshadowing You.
VIII try TO lift You up to higher and nober sphere
instead of helping to drag you down. and do every
thing IN his or her power for your present and
future welfare.
Beware of one who praises your every action;
we all have our faults and such will praise
your weakness In order elevate himself by your
downfall. true friend will gently remind you of
yonr faults and help you to mend them.
Yes. think we should accept every persons
friendship for IL is better have the good will ola
dog than the illwill. do not mean to say that we
should be Intimate with every one, but can
have a kind word and pleasant smile for all with
out n the least injuriag moral character. God
says we should love neighbors ourselves,
ana THINK that all human beings our neigh
bors.
Ii we do not make new friends as we Journey
through life, will find ourselves lett alone.
While we are surrounded by prosperity we all have
many called friends, bat il is very difficult To tell
the false from the true. j would rather have one
true friend than n Thousand fiattcrers.
A trae friend cannot be overes;imated, but how
many OF US through thoughtlessness cast our hest
friends aside. their places he filed by fat
ie:ing. deceitfu person. who will say all manner
oil evil abont us soon orr backs turned.
We have but three friends be sure Of
God. Christ. and mother. Pro Patria-Ads Bern
