FRIENDSHIP.

The right kind CT friendship can
not be praised or valued too much.
But that's the RIGHT kind.
There is another kind of friendship
that gets you no place Two peo-
pie are in a rut and become friends.
one providing a kind of background
for the other They're always to
gether, SO that you can hardly pic
ture one without the other. Mind
you, we are not saying that one
should not have a BEST FRIEND
but we are saying that one should
have others too.
One should ask himself why is
my B ST FRIEND my BEST
FRIEND? Is it because he or she
always listens to my troubles, siding
with me? Does ne or she ever say
l am wrong? Does he or she al
ways do what | want to do? Is he
or she any competition for me? Does
he or she ever have any new ideas?
Do l respect him or her? These
questions are for you to ask and
answer.
Surely, one wants to CT a m as
friends those who are helpful as well
as those who might be helped. It
would be selfish life to think only
in terms of friends who can streng-
then and supprt ME. I should also
think in terms of friends whom l
can help and in helping those friends
| grow in love and understanding.
Without friends this would be
very lonely life, and most people
strive to prove themselves friendly
so that they might have friends If
equally as much care was taken to
make FRIENDS with Him who was
born nineteen hundred and forty
nine years ago, as many Of US take
to make earthly friends whom we
can use to do the things we want to
