Fellowship is the halt mark Of our
own advanced civilization. ard contains
! such an element OF mercy, that It gives
to the simplest deeds. a human touch
Of kindness
We see In Gods divine love the true
essence OF fellowship. and 1t is His ex-
act calculation that make the trees grow
more luxuriantly in forests; that make
the ants more provident in colonies;
that make the fish safer in schools; thas
make man an improved creature OF

he enjoys the blessing Of fellowship in
cities, towns. or communities

ing ignorance Of the jungle breeds hate,
envy, and pessimisn. we find a human
being. who hides away in the gloom and
solitude Of a cave And filed with trera-
bling fear. he watches day and night,
70 protect his own shallow life. No
fellowship kisses down his eyelids IN
restful slumber; no dreams OF loved ones
stir mis- soul TO a joyful awakening.

There is a magic power in real fellow
