is meant by the term, "a loyal friend.
To stand by a friend Through good
and i'll" is supposed to be one of the
requisite qualities of a loyal friend.
Yet he who stands by his friend
to the extent Of justifying his evil
deeds is not his friend. but his worse
enemy.
You. may attend your friend
through his trial before Judge and
jury. and use all the influence you
possess to save him from punishment
OF the law, believing that he will
not repeat his error, but if you JUS
tify his conduct, and uphold him
in defiance of law and order, that
is not friendship.
Only when you inspire your friend
to live up to the best within him
self are you a real friend.
81 will stand by you under all con-
ditions", is not so noble a sentiment
as to say: 81 will always love you
under all conditions, but | can not
stand by you when | know you are
doing what is unworthy of you"
Friendship does rot mean that one
must see no flaws or mention no
faults.
1t does not mean that we should
praise whatever our friends may do,
good. bad or Indifferent. 1t calls
rather for a careful and kind criti-
cism and analysis.
Yet if his standards differ from
your own and he holds to them and
does not abandon them for yours. it
is no evidence that he is not APP
preciative of your interest. For each
soul may follow its own light and not
that lent by another however I'M
be.
Friendship does not necessitate the
same point of view IN all subjects.
1t nccessitates the same honor, the
same adherence to principle, but in
dividual opinions. views and ideas
add to the interest of friendship.
Friendship does not mean bearing
another's burden; it means giving
the friend the courage and strength
to bear his W cheerfully. 1t means
helping him over rough places, but
it does not mean walking and carry
ing him.
