OUR LATER FRIENDSHIPS.
When Vanity Departs and We Feel
the Need of Friends True
Satisfaction Comes.

People make friends later than they
used to, or at least so it seems to US
probably because they grow old, in
general, later than they did, says COL
liers Weekly. Friendship must
change it's nature with advancing
years, but whatever makes later life
full of activities and new beginnings
causes friendships also to begin at even
the later stages of the journey. OF
two old men, early friends, who had
quarrelled, Coleridge said:
''They stood aloof, the scars remaining
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder."
Such an image, of course, gives pow
erfully the sense Of fixity, the opposite
of the fluid potentiality of youth. Yet
in the same poem we have the hint
that not all is glorious in youth:
"And constancy lives in realms above:
And life is thorny, and youth is vain.''
Friendship becomes rid of some van
ity, it becomes more noble and salts
flying to the deeper thoughts and
ideals, when the roots of it grow back
into a long distant past; and if we
can keep the power of making few
new friends in age, as we need them,
to supplement those inherited from
youth, which grow fewer with the
years, but ripper and more select,
friendship should play a satisfying
role far along toward the end of life,
the best role, indeed, of it's career, If,
as Emerson thinks, a lifetime is needed
for its completeness, while an hour
or a day is enough for toll or play.
The late friendships of the unmarried,
the childless and the widowed have a
special necessity and pathos of their
own, for mates and children, to 4
large extent, at certain periods, natu-
rally take the place of other friends.

Death Of Mrs. Smith.

Once more the home, known
throughout the Sandy Valley in
years gone by as the home OF good
cheer, the fav0rite resort Of all the
gay and happy throngs, was a
scene OF sadness; sadness in its
fullest sense, for, as the procession
followed the casket all covered
with flowers, with the sunshine OF
heaven kissing their petals, it was
realized that 1t bore the last re.
mains OF this home to its final rest
ing place, and that smother" and
"home" would be no more. But,
borne by the loving hands Of affect
ionate grandsons, and followed by
six grief.stricken daughters, she
who had shared their pleasures,
who had borne their burdens, who
had, as one OF old, truly dome
what she could,'s laid to rest,
with a life lived which will, for
generations to come, stand out as a
more beautiful monument than
one carved OF magnificent marble.
| Mrs. Jane Smith was born Jan.
uary %, 1923, In Lawrence county,
4
| Ky. In early childhood she gave
her heart to God, and His image
and teachings were largely used In
the moulding Of her sweet christian
character. Her maiden name was
Jane Curnutte, and she was mar
rled to Edmond Smith in the year
lS43 To this union were born
eleven children, with twenty-one
grandchildren and twelve great
grandchildren, and to them all she
was another superior" Six years
ago she followed the husband Of
her youth to the brink OF the
waters OF the dark river, knowing
that he had only crossed the mar
row stream that gave him life
eternal and In these years she has
ever kept the "lalnp OF the Lord"
In her hand, and while passing
, "throrgh the dark shadows Of
death, y she feared noevil. She llv-
a ed not for herself alone, but re-
NAMED in the old home, even In
loneliness so that "the girls" as
she still styled them, could have a
homecoming, and it has been their
custom for years, scattered though
they were In different states, TO
hold these family reunions. Not
only was she SO remembered by
those, but, always as a typical
3grandmother, was fondly loved
and cared for by The grandsons and
S daughters who lived near by.

the bread" and manifested itselt
in with whom she came in contact
and whose influence will be fell
