ALTERNATIoNs OF FRIENDSHIP

John Smith was middle class. He
drove six-cylinder car that he
couldn't afford. possessed ten friends
who were very dear to him, played
golf and conducted wholesale gro
Gerry business that paid him a profit
of about $4,000 year. The income
of his friends was neither much great
er nor much less than his own.
John desired wealth. In an effort
to acquire it quickly he began to
speculate in futures. Within six
months his business, house and car
We're gone and he was fiat broke. He
moved to neighborhood where rents
were low, and got a job with a rail-
way company,
Johns friends loved him and were
determined not to drop him. True,
he no longer had time to play golf
with them and he could no longer en-
tertain them as he had in the days
of his prosperity; but they looked him
up at frequent intervals and did their
best to remain on intimate terms

full. John had his share of pride and
he would not accept favors he could
not return. Moreover, the evidence
of their continued prosperity made
him more keenly conscious of his
poverty, and he watched them mar
rowly for signs of pity. AS an in
evitable result his friends began to
be ill at ease in his presence, and
John, being morbidly sensitive, be
came morose and ungracious, so that
at last his friends avoided him and
left him to his fate.
John was not content in poverty
however. He labored long and
planned shrewdly, and the big fellows
in the railway company began TO no
tice him. Within year he was divi
sion superintendent. Then, with his
self respect restored, he looked III
his old friends and began to enjoy
them again. They welcomed him
heartily.

rammed 1t down the throats of what
ever sinners or dilettantes crossed
their paths. John the Baptist would
not have put his spiritual affairs ia

But what do they know about original
sin, the history of creeds, the dis
guises of Satan, the ethics of liturgies,
the preservation of saints and all that
sort OF thing? Only very few of them
do.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?'

The years pass with relentless and
irrevocable regularity. Time Is a
feature of the universe even II it
has on beginning and will have on
ending Man is q pin prick upon the
blackboard of the armament, but
man is fact nevertheless, and his
stay, tho brief, Is to him and his a
most potention and important pro-
ceeding.
Most of our life is bound up in
work of some sort and much of 1t
is divided between the work we like
and desire to accomplish and the
work we do not like quite as much,
but which provides the fundamentals
of existence in material way.
Many of us who view the rapid
progress of the available time with
both awe and apprehension, wonder
occasionally Just what we are driv-
ing at and where we are going to
bring up. Shall it be the necessary
task always, or some day the volun-
tary breaking away from the things
we have had to do and taking up
few of the things we have always
wanted to do.
If so, what are your plans? Have
you any? Is it a country home and
a garden, a chicken farm with fig
trees and berries on the side. Maybe
a modest cottage on the stream or
bay and a motor boat to overcome
and mastera-dn a few rods and
lines and hooks. Or else 1t may be
bookshelf and new friends; or
desire to set upon paper thoughts
and dreams which have beset your
inner consciousness for ages. Or
you are an adept with tools and like
to build, create, construct and you
have never had the time.
Have you planned for the day, for
the future day when you hope to
realize upon your industry for few
of the years that may be yours, or
have you drifted and drifted content
to leave the future take care OF it.
self. In work we find health, solace
and content. Idleness breeds their
antithesis.
In your dreams you have looked
into the years when the sun of life |
shall have passed the meridian and
dropped towards the horizon OF
eternity Have you made your plans |
for these years? If not then begin.
