Der InlS-
II thou be born with talents, they be-
long
Unto thy brothers, and thy task-thelr
bliss
To make more real. and help the world
along
Let nature be thy worship. and the
Thy fane-its dome the sky, It's silent
aisles
Earths peaceful wales; and incense up
ward curl
From sunlit mountain tops, thy altar
piles.
So live. and teach the world the purity
OF life. and at the end, by good sus-
stained
And cheered-not' hope to build on false
surety
Thy imperturability maintain.

Fellowship OF heart and soul
Rule the world from pole 20 pole;
And in every land and cline.
Down the shining aisles OF time.
Fellowship shall ever be
The glory OF our liberty!

In the garden OF our souls loyal friends
walk, so lofty in character. they remain

sins. All the wealth OF the world can
not buy such fellowship. 1t Is man to

An author IS known by his writings:
a mother by her daughter: a fool by
his words, and all men by their COM
panions.

There is no better incentive to right
and joyous living than the blessing Of
good and true fellowship. Bright and
happy comrades radiate such pleasing
and uplifting influence, that we are
ashamed to be otherwise than cheerful
and optimistic No one Of US is so able
that he can always do without fellow
ship, for we need the help OF our fell
lows experience, and surely there Is no
sweeter living than the true. pure, and
unselfsh comradeship Of friends.

The race Of mankind would perish
did they cease 10 aid each other.
From the time that the mother binds
the child's head till the moment some
kind friend wipes the death stamp from
the brow of the dying, we cannot exist
without mutual help
Therefore. all that need aid and en-
couragement have right TO ask II from
their fellow-mortals.
No one who holds the power OF grant
ing can refuse it without guilt

God has created mankind for fellow
ship and not for solitariness. which is
clearly proved by this strong argument:

Aristotle has said: "A friend is an
other self" There are some people in
the world. no doubt. who can be conf
dent and self-reliant without the sup
port and sympathy of their fellow beings,
but the larger number of mankind feel
the need Of someone to encourage their
feeble undertakings and TO show an in
terest in their success or failure.
Fellowship must rest upon confidence.
This is the ground work Of all friendly
intercourse. Unless we can fully trust
and depend upon anothc~, there can be
no real communion. Sincere belief In
the manhood OF man has often changed
a rake into one Of natures noblemen.
Companionship is one Of the great
benefits derived from association with
our fellow-man. Loneliness is a terrible
misfortune. Why should any Of us. in
this busy wofk-a-day world suffer from
this malady? None Of us liveth to
himself" The world is full of trial and
tribulation and suffering which we can
relieve Two can generally work bet
ter tnan one. one log VIII not burn
alone. but when two or more are placed
together, one kindles the other and the
result is a blaze.
Fellowship is service. The very needs
of those around US call out this ele
ment. Examples, without number, are
found in history. to show the truth of
this. The names OF David, Jonathan
Damon, and Pythias call to mind brave
deeds performed for others Greater
love hath no man than this. that a man
lay down his life for his friend"
If our fellowship is to amount to any
thing 1t must be permanent. Fleeing
interest in those around us Will accom-
plish little Only by patience and per-
severance can we hope to influence the
lives Of others for good. Truly this
