Of blessings.
How much better are two than one
more than twice in accomplishment

one be not alone when he falleth.
Friends are for hours of adversely

Woe to him that is alone when he

The paramount need of all in this

Rev. L. w. Langston. a southern
Baptist missionary located at San
Paulo, Brazil. writes of remark
able case of faith and liberality on
the part of a Brazilian Christian
woman:
There is a widow who is a mem
Der of the church. She has no liv-
ing relatives. She is fifty years old
and cooks in a boarding house for
a living The pastor asked this
woman for contribution to the
church fund. She gave him $3.50. the
amount she had saved against the time
when she could no longer work. She
accepted the challenge of Jesus and
put the kingdom first. believing that
all things needed would be added to
her. She had done what shs-could."

revolutionary forces occupied op-

firing at each other. He merely
raised the stars and stripes over

that he might pass along the river

First Way.

Enemies, as well as friends. are made
by looks. The countenance reveals the
disposition. contemptuous look is a
chilling blast to kindly and generous
impulses. A sour. stern, peevish express
sion Of the face not only drives away
friends. but creates enemies.
1t Is the sweet. cheerful smile that
allures the reluctant, even the most OBJ
durate heart. To look upon some faces
is benediction. The light shining in
the countenance of a true friend has an
Irresistible charm. Who can measure
its influence? The sour-visaged Chris
tian does not make converts. nor do
proud and naughty airs invite esteem
and confidence. which are essential to
the existence of true friendship.
An excellent way of showing our
selves friendly is by putting on. and
wearing as we do a daily garment, a
pleasant, agreeable and cheerful coun-
tenance.

Training the Tongue.

There is a positive way, however. in
which the tongue should also be train
ed, and that is in training it to ex-
press the good and helpful thoughts
and feelings. Paul wrote to Timothy:
The servant of the Lord must not
strive, but be gentle unto all men, apt
to teach, patient, in meekness instruct
ing those that oppose themselves; if
God peradventure will give them re-
pentance to the acknowledging of the
truth"
The tongue may be trained to express
the good in us-the love in our hearts
in words that are kind, cheerful. low
ing, grateful, sympathizing or inspir-
ing.
Let US join the League Of the Kindly
Tongue" and train our tongues to only
express the good, and to refrain from
expressing the evil that is in our
hearts and minds.

Opportunities.

The opportunities for gaining friends
are found in the domestic, social. indus
trial and political environments in which
our lives are placed.
| We may have many friends among
| those who are allied to US by the ties Of
blood. But to have friends in the home
we must show ourselves friendly. The
ties of nature do not of themselves bind
the nearest akin in the bonds Of friend
ship. We know that between husband
and wife. between parents and children
and between brothers and sisters in their
relation to each other. or to their parents,
there sometimes exist the bitterest
enmity.
He that hath friends among those of
| his own blood must show himself friendly.
Indifference and unconcern about the
comfort and pleasure of others in the
| home. as elsewhere, are barriers to the
| joys Of friendship.
We may have many friends in the
| social surroundings of our life; in the
church or religious organizations with
which We are connected: in the business
world In which we move. and in the
I broad arena of the universal brotherhood
| Of mankind. but society does not open its
| arms to those who are ungracious and
\ unfriendly.
| The church opens its doors to all, but
he who enters and has no kindly word
! or look of recognition and interest for
those who sit in the same pew en-
gage in the same service cannot hope TO
gain personal friendships. So IT is in
all the commercial and political asso- =
Citations incident to citizenship in the
| world The boon of friendship is only
attained by those who show themselves
friendly.
! There Is no other way to secure
| friends from among those Of our own
| blood or religion or society.
Evening star., 1916-08-05
Third Way.

The third and the highest way of show
ing ourselves friendly is by deeds
1t is not enough to look kindly and to
speak such words as BE ye warmed and
filed" and yet not give the things need
full for warmth and comfort. There is a
world of meaning in the familiar saying,
Actions speak louder than words"
Are any hungry in body or mind?
We should feed them with food, or
with sympathy and love. Are any naked i?
Clothe them. Are any sick? Visit them.
Above all things else it is by deeds of
kindness that we show ourselves friendly
and thereby win to ourselves friends.
The friendships of earth are very
precious Without friend life is un-
bearable, but we have no need to be
ffiendless.
There Is a friend that sticketh closer
than a brother"
u 4 Is
Friend Of the Friendless.
God is the greatest Of all friends. We
must show ourselves friendly to Him and
Evening star., 1916-08-05
friendly is by kindly words in COM
pany with kindly looks.
~ ~ as ~
Second Way.

1t is "a soft answer that turneth
away wrath" Angry words produce
anger. and anger is not the road to
friendlness. 1t is very seldom. If
ever. that we are called upon to speak
all our mind. Even II we are sure
our friend has done wrong. we are not
justified in making harsh or abusive
criticism. We are not perfect-no one
is-and there is always danger of just
retaliation for any unkind words we
may speak.
Words Of love and gentleness, words
of Just praise, and appreciation, words
of sympathy and hope, words which
convey the friendship that is in the
heart are grand ways of showing our
selves friendly and thereby gaining
friends.
Looks and words are the cheapest
and the easiest form of expression in
making known a friendly disposition.
Yet how many there are who fail in
kindly looks and gracious words!

STATE GETS HIGH
 PRICE FOR COTTON
Sell 11S Bales From Tucker
 Farm Yesterday for 22.51 1-2 Cents-Highest Price Ever Received-CrOp Will Pay Debt

The penitentiary commission Thurs day sold 11S bales of cotton from the Tucker farm for the highest price ever paid the state for cotton. It was bought by w. M.

 ABSORB ADVANCES
Fall Follows Early Rise, But Close is 13 to 16 Points Up- Houses With Liverpool Con nectiOns Were Good Buyers.

New York, Sept. 14.-A sharp early advance was followed by reactions in the cotton market this afternoon, with January selling off from 15.56c to 15.70c and closing at 15.75c. The gen eral list closet steady at net advance of 13 to 16 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 13 to 25 points, in response to higher Liverpool cables, bullish overnight spot advices from the SoutfS and unexpectedly heavy domestic con- sumption figures-from the Census Blu reau. Houses with Liverpool connec- tions were good buyers here, while there was an active demand from do- mestic sources which seemed to in- crease trade buying, rebuying of longs and covering of shorts. Offerings were heavy at the advance, but were very well absorbed by broadening demand until late in the morning De- cember contracts sold at 15.7Sc anu March at 16.03c, or about 2t points aobve last nights closing figures and approximately $4 a bale above the low level of last Monday morning.
