every milepost of his career.
Il do not refer to the fair-weather
companions who aided in his ex-
penditure Of time and money. but
to those rare intimates of his soul
who tome into his life at epochal
places. heartened him and drove him
on from one achievement to another
by the sheer power OF their watch
fulness.
Carlyle suggested that the help
that one man can yield to another
is infinite. Friendship cheers like
sunbeam, charms like a good story,
inspires like brave leader, binds
like a golden chain, guides like a
heavenly vision.
"Our evolution in friendship is an
important part OF our education be-
cause we make friends in the re-
ciprocal act OF being a friend; for
whoever thinks of his friend as his
bank is quite sure to find that the
security is insufficient.
"Our most serviceable friends do
not lend US money. and even where
their acts Of loving kindness are
mountain high, these are the lesser
part OF their uplifting. OF far
greater value Is their enduring af-
fection their confidence, their assur-
ance that, whatever else betide, they
will expect to see our names written
on the roster OF success II by some
sad stroke of the fates I should be
bereft OF all I possess OF worldly
goods would still be rich indeed if
kind Providence spared me the
recollection OF all that sea of kind
fRces that passed me somewhere in
the vale OF yesterday.
The chief Office OF our friends is
to prod us along, to energize and
goad us to do the things that would
be impossible to us in the absence of
the affectionate belief they exercise
, in us. One good friend may modify
and sanctify our tendencies all
through life. His admiration for us
and his unconscious supervision
over us is reflected in our energy.
our honesty, our sincerity. Our in
tellectual capacities, too, are ex-
tended in direct ratio to our friend
ships Emerson says: The scholar
sits down to write and all his years
OF meditation do not furnish him
with one good thought or happy ex-
preston; but it is necessary to write
a letter to a friend and forthwith
troops of gentle thoughts invest
themselves on every hand with
chosen words.
But that man who has bullded
his friendships only from the view
point OF his own development has
suffered a lopsided growth. We
should have three kinds Of friends
those who are above us, those who
are at parity with us, and those who
are below us. We naturally grow
up with the second class, and for
selfish reasons we gravitate towards
/ the first and away from the last
class.

buds we pick for those in whose
