ship cannot continue to the end that

There is more bogus friendship in
the world than there is counterfeit
money. The ''jollying" Of the sales
man; the glad handing" Of the poll
tician; the flattery Of the self-seeking
sycophant-all these call themselves
friendship. Whereas the essence OF
friendship is unselfishness. 1t has its
roots in character. 1t was only because
both David and Jonathan were in
themselves such rare and royal spirits
that their friendship became the per-
feet thing it was. A person finds his
best friends by being his best self.
Friendship must be before 1t can
have. The art Of true friendship-for
friendship is an art as we'll as a gift
of God-requires, first Of all, that one
who would be friend must have in
himself the qualities of loyalty. Of
appreciation and of outgiving. Thus
we are returned to the old. old ques-
ton of personal character. For it
needs nobility Of soul to enable one
to be a great friend. sharer of the
souls best. The Perfect Friend was
also the Perfect Man.
Groups Of young persons may profit
ably discuss What Is the first essen
tial to friendship? How NAV qualify
for the role Of friend?" To achieve q
great friendship is one Of life's noblest
ambitions. A friend is the best for
tune. But such friendship may not
be expected by trifling. drifting,
superficial character. The best he
may hope for is the congenial and
transitory companionship Of those of
his own ilk. 1t takes a David to win
the friendship Of Jonathan.
As some gushing women call every
body dear" and darling" SO light
minded persons deem every pleasant
acquaintance a friend 1t has been
said that "acquaintances We may have
many, but acquaintanceship is merely
the grape of possibility from which
the rich wine of friendship is aged
and mellowed" Websters Dictionary
defines friend as "one attached to
another by esteem. respect and af1ec-
ton" So even the photographer puts
first in friendship the more spiritual
qualities which are soundly based

standings often separate friends, when
candor and confession would have
healed the rift. One notable aspect
OF the David and Jonathan friend
ship Is that while the two were one
In spirit they were definitely opposite
in interest. Jonathan was heir to
1sraels throne; David, as both knew
was destined to supplant him. This
situation was frankly recognized and
the prince besought his friend to deal
kindly with his children when David
should wear the crown.
Jonathan was a great giver. His
divesting himself Of his robe and
armor and bestowing them upon David
was symbolic Of his character. For his
friends sake he risked not only his
fathers wrath and recriminations but
also death at Saul's hand. True loves
make no reservations. "A friend
loveth at all times, and. there is 9
friend that sticketh closer than q
brother" Courage is OF the warp and
woof Of friendship.
Great friendships are usually en-
riched by devotion to a common
cause. Soldiers who have fought side
by si.e; men who have shared great
experience together; followers of a
study, a crusade or a leader. find
themselves bound by ties of personal
friendship. We used to jest about
the marriages that We're made within
the Christian Endeavor fellowship.
Co-educational students often develop
greater tie within the lesser unity
Of devotion to alma mater.
That is why a large proportion of
the country's marriages arises out OF
church fellowship. In friendship with
Christ human friendships are born.
We love. because He first loved us"
All that We know Of friendships power
to bind, to restrain. to inspire, to
comfort and to satisfy springs from
our exalted experience of the Divine
love. He that loveth not, knowett
not God. for God is love"
Friendship is more than an en-
thusiasm or an ecstatic passion. 1t
has wings. but it also has we'll shod
feet, to walk the ways Of everydayness
Mrs. Browning's familiar lines. How
Do Love Thee" are a keen charac-
terization of friendships expressions
How do I love thee? Let me count
the ways.
love thee to the depth and breadth
and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out
of sight
For the end Of Being and ideal Grace
love thee to the level OF every day S
Most quiet need, by sun and candle
light.
love thee freely, as men strive fol
Right;
love thee purely, as men turn from
Praise.
love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs. and with my child
hoods faith.
love thee with love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints-I love thee with
the breath,
Smiles. tears. Of all my life!-and, II
God choose,
shall but love thee better after death
