II Is not taste that is plentiful, but cour-
age that is rare. For It Is only by trying
to understand others that we can get our
own hearts understood. - "Yirginibus

Love thy neighbor as thyseif, but no
ore can love his neighbor who has not
ira ned himself to translate that word
into acts Of friendship. Unless your life
be Of some service 10 others, unless your
daily achievements aid your feIlow-men
and contribute their quota 10 the i'm
provement and betterment Of the world
at large, you shall have missed the great
object Of life. Man cannot live by him
self. He needs the assistance Of others,
and they need his assistance. What IS
more true fellowship than the Optlmist
Club. for each and every one contributes
helpful little quotations or essays for the
benefit OF others. NJ. T. HANION.

fellowship Tempered with reason. 1t is

and tries 70 eradicate them. aims to rem

regard. It's stable and placid countenance

Fellowship for the most part Is slow IN
choosing. and grows only with the IN
folding Of ones acquaintance, and ripens
with the maturity Of friendship.

Fellowship improves happiness and

We are not formed as notes OF music are.
For one another, though dissimilar
Such differences without discord as can

Those sweetest sounds in which all spirits
shake
AS trembling leaves in a continuous air.
Shelley.
When a man gives proof that mis- heart
is sound and that his life is sound. there
is no divergence Of opinion that should
keep us from fellowship with him.

To be OF good fellowship TO each other
we must be gay, debonair. undaunted,
generous. and tender. We need courage

shiftlessness. and greed IN others and in
ourselves. AS he gives. so he shall re-
ceive: and therefore the man who figures
each daily task only by what II shah

joyment OF life consists in what good we
can do for others. not in pampering and

It's honest grip
OF cOmradeship
Makes a fellow take heart again;
It's the word Of cheer
From a friend sincere
= Makes him feel life's not In vain.
When the way is dark
And the luckless bark
Is driftiNS from safety's strand;
WIZ GA bless the men
And tLe semen. who then
Hold 70 US a helping hand.
When you're out Of luck
And you're out OF pluck
And the fight doesn't seem worth While;
What viii give you heart
To do your part?
Why. handclasp and smile.
So. when all Is black
And we've lost the track.
In a world We can't understand.
Then God bless the friend
Who is there TO lend
A smile and helping hand

individual souls, the fundamental inter
ests of which are identical
Each soul assists others in the degree
that it increases the general stock of
love or wisdom and thus in
ereases the supply available for all.
