What Are Friends?

Many answers could be given
to get them. HISPE= ~:hr-ssA~=~s'Nt
but true friends are willing to
forego som . expected lleasure or
leave undone some work to min

Mothers and sisters, have you

King Aichol? Let's all be sold

When we think Of the value uf

Ispent in arousing public senti'

more life lines of sympathy and
safety and removal of tempta'

Mothers, would it not pay a
