contests where time. want, and danger
are involved. and is an aid and comfort
TO You through life. Therefore. stand by
the old friend. never give him up for the
new, and cherish him through life. for
he is a treasure. II. T. HANLON.

one that we could call our true friend.
True friendship is invaluable It's ties.
its love. its kindness and respect are
binding all through life. even unto death
How beautiful IL IS 10 have some one
10 whom you can tell in confidence the
secrets Of your heart. TO feel at home in
their presence. 10 enjoy their converse
ton, 10 love them, and at the same time
10 feel that they enjoy yours and that
they love you.
Friendship is indeed g beautiful thing.
1t is indeed invaluable. and one should
never do an act In life that they would
be ashamed for a friend or the world 10
know. HARRY ". BRIaIER.
The power Of appreciation Is a pre-
requisite 10 the value of friendship. The
elements that develop true friendship are
born and can never be made. We Oft
times waste years trying TO make some
one our friend. and We fail because there
is lacking that indefnable something that
unites soul with soul and causes hearts
10 commune without the spoken word.
We cannot cultivate that which has not
been sown. There IS no asset so valu-
able as that of true friendship, some one
before whom we may lift the I'D OF the
soul and let them look In with a heart OF
/ sympathetic interest, encouraging in the
hour of doubt and darkness, bearing mu-
tuaI burdens from youth through the
valley of hard trials and despair, with
soul attuned TO mutual welfare When
we find such a friend we should bind
them 10 our hearts with bands Of steel;
aye. even wear them in our hearts core"
; HENSON b. HICKS.
To put reason before friendship IS Ike
kindling a fire with wood on top and
coal at the bottom"
Friendship holds out both handsome
empty. one full: one ready to take. one
ready 10 give.
We are not fit TO gather the blossoms
of friendship unless we are willing 20
water the roots in their darkness.
True friendship needs few words. Il is
knowledge above language.
Friendship is a river of clear water in
thirsty land.
Friendship is a tree Though II may
have bitter bark. II bears sweet fruit.
True friendship Is the deep pulsation Of
the great heart OF nature,
Eve are never too old 10 make new
friends. Friendship don't depend on age,
Z but on the kind Of a fellow ye are A
man should keep a boys heart an he'll
make friends like a boy
Friendship is the mysterious might God
grants noble souls.
To be a true friend in the true sense is
ta take another soul in such close, low
= ing fellowship that his life and ours all
knit together as one.
, A friend. THE first person who comes
in when the world goes out"
In the time Of darkness the star OF true
friendship shines the brightest.
Friendship is worth taking trouble
about. Hold fast that which is good.
