Boy and Girl Friendships.

\ boy must necessarily have some ac-
quaintances and friends outside of the
home circle, but rs the wise motber will
often have him bring them there they
should be chosen discreetly. He cannot
afford to tarnish the Wilderness of his
soul by an immoral associate, nor lower
the standard of his purity by Il friend
ship with one who is profane. These
evils will at first shock him. but if
brought in frequent contact with them.
he will gradually lose his horror and dis
gust of them, and in time he will find
himself quite compacent with such asso-
ciates.
When he grows little older. he will
have girl friends. too. modest. sweet
girls. whom his mother may invite into
her home, and vino will give him high
ideals OF womankind. If early in life
boy learns to respect wOmankind
through his mother, it will be a great
incentive to Il purer life. If he has no
sister, the friendship of a refined girl
will prove of great benefit to him. \
friendship may exist for years between
two young people and never ripen into
love.
If he forms such a friendship it
should be encouraged. and not made a
subject of rdicule as is too often the
case. Between boys and girls platonic
love is possible. and may be cultivated
with equal benefit to both.-The Pilgrim,
