 l A FRIEND
 By Gertrude Bryan Leeper A friend is he who stands aside, un- | til the plaudits cease. | Then quietly holds a weary hand, and | Soothes the soul to peace. | A friend is he who gathers up shat l tered reputation. .. | Who bids the idle tongue be still when speaking defamation. l A Friend! no title holds more honor | since first the world began His .crest-a sheaf of kindly deeds 1 unto his fellow-man.
