AS l THINK l WRITE
(By Zantha Lois Riinpson)

Concerning the one you call your
friend, tell me will he weep with you
in your hours of distress? Will he or
she faithfully reprOve you to your face
for actions for which others are rid
iculing and censuring you behind your
back? Will he dare to stand forth in
your defense when detraction is secrt-
ly aiming its weapon at your reputa-
ton? Will he acknowledge you with
the same cordially and treat you with
the same friendly attention in the COM
pany of your superior True friends,
l think, must withstand the shocks off
adversely before it is entitled to the
name. Since friendship which is born
in adversely is more firm and lasting
than those formed in happiness as iron
is more strongly united, the fiercr the
flames. Real friends are wanted to
visit US in prosperity only when invit-
ed, but in adversely they come of their
own accord. And if we lack the sag
acity to discriminate wisely between
our acquaintance and our friend, mis-
torture will readily do it for you, be-
cause remember prosperity gains
friends and adversely tried them. False
friends are like our shadows keeping
close to us while we walk in the sun
shine, but leaving us the instant we
cross into the shadow. False friends
like the Ivy decays and ruins the walls
it embraces; hut true friendship gives
new life and animation to the object it
supports. And as I think l write
when sickness shall call you to retire
from the busy world, will he or she
follow you to your gloomy retreat,
listen with attention to your tale of
surrering and administer the balm of
consolation to your fainting spirit? And
lastly, when death shall burst asunder,
every earthly tie, will he or she shed
tear upon your grave? and lodge the
dear remembrance of your mutual
friendship in his heart? If so, then
grapple him to your heart with hooks
of steel; and you shall know the pri-
vilege of having one true friend
And always bear in mind, that a man
that hath friend must show himself
friendly: And there is a friend that
closer than a brother.
