WHAT is A FRIEND?
Dr Frank Crane


What is a friend? I will tell you.
It is a person with whom you dare to
be Yourself. Your soul can go naked
with him. He seems to ask you to
put on nothing, only to be what you
are. He does not want you 20 be bet
ter or worse. When you are with him
you feel as a prisoner feels who has
been declared innocent. You 10 not
have to be on your guard You can
say what you think, express what you
feel He is shocked at nothing, Of
Tended at nothing, so long as it is gen
timely you He understands those
contradictions in your nature that
lead others to mistake you. With
him you rebathe free. You can take
off your coat and loosen your collar.
You can avow your little vanities and
envies and hates and vicious sparks,
your meanness and absurdities, and
in opening them up to him. they are
lost. dissolved in the white ocean of
his loyalty. He understands. You do
not have to be careful. You can
abuse him, neglect him, berate him.
Best of all, you can keep still with
him. 1t makes no matter. He likes
you He is like fire, that purilies ali
you do. He is like water, that cleans
es all you say. He is like wine that
warns you to the bone. He under
stands. You can weep with him, laugh
with him, sin with him, pray with
him. Through and underneath it all
he sees, knows and loves-you. A
friend I repeat, is one with whom
you dare to be yourself.

MIRACLES IN SKY FOLLOW STORM

Her light was like stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone;
and the city was pure gold, like unto
clear glass"
These words were written for the
New Jerusalem but Milwaukee might
have claimed them Friday evening
after the storm, when for cOmpensa-
ton two miracles were shown in the
sky-a miracle of the east and another
of the west
Eastward the bow of promises was
"set in the cloud" 1t spanned the
lake from the north to south in a
shining arch, and had it's echoe in a
second rainbow, fainter, and yet per-
feet. The lake still troubled from
the wind caught the reflected light
and gave it back.
From the west, shower of golden
light descended upon the city. 1t fill
tered through flmy, scudding clouds
trailing vanishing tendrils through
the lower air.
A field of jade came into the sky,
close to the lake of gold from whence
flowed the drift of shining cloud. The
jade was overlaid with pillows Of sill
yer and grew transparent like deep
emerald waters High up, floated
puffs of rosy cloud, an argosy sailing
to the south. Down from the blue q
white cloud descended earthWard.
People driven indoors by the storm,
"hronged out TO stand with upturncd
faces. They saw new heaven and
a new earh. Trees and grass became
freshly green; the harDor lights
shone like jeweled hearts; the whole
earth took on incauGescent beauty
