ANOTHER LETTER FROM NED BURTON
He Grows Eloquent on the Beauties OF
Friendship
Port Royal. Va, Feb. 2lst, 1911.

Port Royal. Va, Feb. Dist, 1911.
To The Free Lance:
Friendship is the theme of my letter.
How much it implies and how impor-
tant to good citizenship is friendship.
1t goes with you to the field Of labor,
comes back to the fireside and makes
pleasant the home. 1t delights the ram
bes over the fields. It's tingling voice IS
heard in the clip of the oar as you glide
over the water; it cries out IN merry
laughter as you gather around the
hearthstone and says, Be magnanlmouss,
be Just and condemn only that which is
wrong.
Friendship is a treasure that can and
should be scattered over this beautiful
Rappahannock valley and in every home
in Port Royal. Let friendship so abound
as to make happy and better everyone
in your midst. Friendship broadens and
upifts everyone coming in contact with
il. Then, too, it is within the reach OF
everyone of US and should be cherished
as one of the greatest blessings. IL
meets YOU at the portal of the church;
it whispers 10 you during the service
and says. o, recognize me. | need your
friendship. I've come here to be made
better by the lessons of truth and
friendship so ably set before US by the
pastor. whose ambition is to inculcate
into the minds Of his flock friendship
and devotion to others.
How much friendship and kindly
greeting can do to make the environ
ments of Port Royal more lovely and
attractive is worthy of your thoughtful
consideration. But someone says, How
am | to gain that friendship so needful
to my happiness, yes, to my life? /
aim to do right, but most everyone
passes me coldly by. But another voice
imbued with that friendship that goes
out TO make men better says, BE OF
good cheer-hold fast to your faith in
friendship-Port Royal is sure to see
the light and beauty it is spreading up
and down the Rappahannock valley and
| hope centering right here among US.
Burton says, Let everyone in Port
Royal attend our Sunday services anc
be greeted by the members OF the
church with that sincere evidence OF
friendship that uplifts and makes happy
the, soul that receives the friendly
greeting.
Our young people are about to orga
nize a dramatic club with view to Civ
ing two or more plays for the benefit
of the public school. 1t is hoped tina
success may reward their effort.

Entombed in the earth calmly sleeping,

Caused by much sorrow and care,

Nothing but one endless day.
