MY FATHERS FRIEND"

An inherited friendship. Who now has one? His parents were friends of my parents Parents are gone treasure the friendships that were sacred to parents.
 Are the friendships of today sucl. as will endure the test of years, of wide distances. of long separations? :? Will the children of present school children and even the grandchildren still retain that warm place in the heart for fathers friend, or mothers friend, and love to the second or third generation because of the love of today?
 Friendship goes deeper than the surface of the heart. It does not exist in fleeting pIeaure in one an others company. It is founded on endearing qualities of character. on congenial feeling, on d love that bears any and all tests. Tfere must be perfect confidence, a trust not easily disturbed by any untoward circumstances.
 To love my fathers friend be- speaKs love and reverence for the father. Such friendships may be rare. but they do exist. Would there were many more of them. Thine own friend and thy fathers friend forsake not" is precept worthy q wider hearing than it gets.-Nilwau- kee Journal.
