The word "comradeship" appeals to me
because Of its completeness. Beside it
acquaintanceship dwindfes away into in
significance. and even friendship is not
Iall-embracing: but the scope Of comrade-

Few Of US are so constituted that We
can live the lives Of hermlts. Most Of us
need comradeship. 1t is necessary to our
well being that we have some one tc
whom we can go-not too often. for fear
of making our condolences wearisome-in
sorrow or Joy, failure or success. Were
there more comeradeship in families-be-
tween husbands and wives, parents and
children. brothers and sisters - there
would be more free air for humanity.

And mingled with much people
But never yet could find a spot unsunned

Without comradeship life would be
dun existence. Every natural man is so
constituted that hopes and aspirations
must be shared by some kindred spirit TO
give zest to ambition. This mutual tie IS
the inspiring influence that in many in
stances leads TO success. On the other
hand. the sympathy OF cOmradeship sus-
tains the weary, unfortunate. or mis-
guided soul In times OF trial. II II does
not lead to final Vanquishment OF the
obstacles that beset his pathway. there
will be solace in the thought that at least
one person appreciates and understands

result is as profound as his own. There
