II we have fellowship with God. We
will also have fellowship with man, just
as sure as we have the sun and moon,
the stars. and all things that Gcd has
created

and every one Of us is eligible we are

Fellowship, broadly defined, means all
that is worth while in life; all that is
noblest. purest, and best II is more
far-reaching than love; more broadening
than charity, and more noble than friend
ship. 1t means a fellow feeling and
! fellow-interest in all mankind It
means a smile for every one we meet, a
kind word for everyone we speak TO, a
kind thought for everyone we think Of,
tear for every sufferer, and an excuse
for every evil-doer IN fellowship with
the world we broaden ourselves every
day and every hour, by giving vent 70

best in another. thus enriching our
selves, the world, and our neighbor.

Fellowship Is compsnionship. a fond
ness for another's company, as Webster
describes H.
Fellowship for humanity is well touched
upon in the following Tires, am sure;
In shadow land are upstretched hands
And. midst the noise Of this great world
Are feeble cries for help:
Ny ear shall practice 10 hear Euch calls.
My hands shall train 20 lift the fallen;
Noble men and women who are pushed
aside
Need champions for their cause;
Man, whereer he is or what he be-
