Our comrades are the few men and
women out of the multitude who arouse
mutual interest, thoughts, and tastes
the people with whom We feel at per-
feet ease-with whom We are constrained
to be perfectly frank AMI honest They
are the old-fashioned people; not the
SNOWY kind. they are stronger than the
masses; stronger than anything mortal;
the storms. rains, and frosts come and
so and We see this class of comrades
through the dawn OF a new day still
standing green and straight by our side
