The selfish life is not worth while. It blights all that it touches, and it has no strength to impurt to those who ure struggling to overcome. * We* meet those along the-path of - life each day whose hearts are hungry for 'love and friendship. They are cumbered with care. It mattters not what one has to do or may do for himself, real and . lasting happiness "t cart only come to one who has made nnntVini" Vior..>*> ....... . The happiness I send into the life of another, returns to my life with a dpuble measure . of blessing and peace. .* " ; . There is nothing in being envious. Such a condition keeps us.from being Dur_h?st_and_?ram. doing..ojir heat. . The subgect 'of-'-friendship has engaged the attention of thinkers in all ages. Many of their conclusions have come down to us in proverbs. From these sentences of condensedv wisdom, we can catch many a shrewd, Hint. For instance, a maxim found in various forms in different languages is: The way to make friends that^will last long is to be a long time in making them. -The Greeks had it: Do npt make "friends quickly. A precept abuot friendship fram-ftias that has aroused much discussiorr is_-.as follows: Love ao if ono day you will hnto; hate as tf one day you love. 7~An offset to -this is attributed to Caesar: I ' would rather die once than mistrust pt always. Spurgeon's apothegm was: 1 He who believes everybody will be bitten, but be who believes nobody will be devoured. Still another has said: He "who is too~much a friend -to himself, is a friend to no one else; Aristotle quotes a Greek proverb which says: Who cea,ses to be a 1 xncuu never was one.. Anotner pror ? verb is to-this effect; One friend is worth a hundred relatives, or Fate (fives us relatives7 W6 choose our own friends. This shows the superiority inr the common mind, of friendship^ over kinship; It was Socrates who. said: A friend is another self. A friend ans have a'jproverb relative*lo~ friendship which runs as fp.llows: Freundes stimme, Gottes Stimme (A friend's i ' 5 voice is God's voice). The French have one which is as follows: Coupid' ami, coup cheri (A friend's blow/4 is loviny .blow). Again the Spanish have a proverb which is: No hay me-. jorsepejo que el aimgo tfiejo< An' old friend is. the best mirror). -- _ The heart of the world is hungry 1 in the effort to help others, we shall bu misdirected, deceived and abuacdi - But the exceptions to this rule will repay us for all of our trouble^-TrueJ friends can be found by each one Nvho make the .proper investment in men and conditions about him. "The life that is full of scorn and the selfcentered life* has no lifting power. Ofrrthg Joy 'that comes to on^ who. "helps a fellow who has lost his way 1 back to strength and to the^spin^ tion for the best things in Jife. HtSwever, the most bapgful influgn?e that ^ ..can touch an individual's Hie is a deceptive expression of friendship which he or she has realty allowed to enter into their lif-tff We can measure the sorrow th&t this' has brought to millions ntyti living as well, as those whom it/?lew ?

The 'Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, the M. E. Church and others are among those who carried to him their fegards. Miss Georgia, Parker, Mrs. Mary C. Larke and Mr. B. I.

To hear the voice of one ' as it ripples away in deception and its,! labored efforts to deceive, delivers a : blow that many never outlive. . Inexperienced people contract many ' destructive friendships that lead to j misery. A man or a woman may be married and not be friends. One may | have even, a brother or a sister and 1 not discovep in them an expression of true friendship. ' Friends are" not made. They are discovered. They come to us out of i1 the conditions that life in thj^ worUL' creates. In most cases they come 1 to us in those whom we have nevqr sought and hi whom we had no- prevjio.us interest. Sometime they, come i to us from those who are far removed | -from our social standard ;Of life.* Yet, they come at a time when ?hey ?re needed, and if we are so unwise as to turn them awaJvwe may go through life . lonely and sad. My. young friend: Every one who smiles in your face has no idea of being, yohr friends; Oh! how false ; friend? love us when they cao~put ~ their hands into our pockets and ( spend our money? Then they can be induced to say all kinds of good things about us. They, sing our praises from every house top. They are ready to tell the world how well they love MC nr.fl ViAw miiph thoy nVP Cvilliny to do for us. However, when they are sure thaf^our money is gone, hnd when no more big tables can be set, and . when no more loan, gifts can be made, then they flee from us as from tjie , pest. . " ' .1 _ Young lady: The faci that any one spends nioney on you is no indication J of their friendship for you. Each of 1 such gifts one receives in this life : has.* a price tag on them. In most 1 ctses, the price that one pays far ' exceeds the value of- such gifts.. But i it is not the way of a true expression of friendship to-deceivey mislead-and-to destroy. Such an expression of friendship, endeavors to build"- up. It binds up the broken-hearted arnf wipes their tears away. It comes to i-us -When-all is -dark and droary -and. when there appears to be no light on | life's pathway to encourage our [hearts in the conflict of life. It does not come to temptvrrs- with its money or to- seduce, us . with its subtle se-. .ducUons. But it comes to support us dn our Ufesjpair, and to bid us go | forward in the upward way?:.

Such a heart generates its own joy and becomes the assurpffte of its own peace. A life* thus lived j^full of power for service. Wc--need. more lives thus lived in our so much scorn, jealousy and lit- 1 , tleness here and there that depresses and-crushes the weak and the strug- j Ogling about us. The old time friend- 1 ship that many of us once had for ? each other is slipping. The commet- j cial vision of stripping each other of ; all that we can by deception is tak- j ing its place.
