ability to win friends comes as
natural a. breathing to many,
but keeping them IS q Inc art in
which few are accomplished. In
early childhood se form our cir
Gle Of friends, which wideas as
We attain maturity, but alas for
fidelity to sentiment, few friends
Of youth are to be numbered
among those Of middle age.
The truest friendship Is formed
with congenialty of soul as a
foundation, regardless Of circum-
stances or social position. As
long as tine endures, the love Of
David and Jonathan, the shep-
herd and the prince, will delight
the admirers Of fidelity. The
qualities that win friends are
those that recognize responsive
chords in other hearts, and are
the only ties that bind friends
through life.
The number of true friends we
have IS an indicator of success
as well as character. No matter
how many friedds we win, we
cannot hold them unless We pos
sess integrity, honor and unsel-
fIshness. In business associa-
tons as well as social life, these
qualities are necessary to conf
dence and trust.
While he who would have
friends must show himself friend
", he who would keep them must
show consideration and forbear-
ance. Many a friendship has
been wrecked by exacting de-
mands, unjustiled jealousy, or
lack of tact.
If friends are desired, and we
haven't the gift eff winning them
impromptu, we can win them by
careful and persistent practice of
the virtues and graces that please.
We can keep them by remaining
faithful and true and living up
right lives. Win friends and
hold on to them as you would the
most precious of jewels, for there
by you prove yourself worthy of
happiness and the truest success.
