ART OF FRIENDSHIP DYMG7

nation Of Closest Ties.

There is ground for suspicion, II not
conviction, that the art Of friendship
Is dying out among US.
The friendship Of the ancients was
very exacting. In modern times wa
should look for a long while for such
mutual regard az that Of Damon and
Pythtas. Friendship in our crowded
days covers wide area, but as in
the case Of all extensive development.
1t loses intensiveness. Instead Of
friendships we have visiting lists. Not
those whom we love but those whom
we would propitiate, we invite t. din
ner. Those who would propitiate US
invite US in turn and permit US to
eat their food and air our views. We
live-alas!-in the suburbs of each
others hearts.
The man without friends can accom-
plish very little in this world in this
age. Depending on his own strength
alone. his mightiest endeavors are as
nothing. At harvest time he gathers
nothing but leaves aad husks. But the
man with friends-strong, true friends
and loyal-who have confidence in his
integrity and ability to do things, has
great power. Where he leads they
will follow him. and all working to-
gether unitedly bring victory. This ia
the reason why some men achieve
great success with moderate abilities,
while their more brilliant competitors
fall short.
To have true friends you must be
one. The quality Of loyalty you get
