1 The Friendship of M
8 ' ' ?
s .?SjP,v- a1*berT 1
An expression of friendship that
rings true, is one of the most helpful
. influences'th&fe can touch one's life in
this world. 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

tional .deception in1 one whom -one *
has trusted, is one of the greatest i1
misfortunes that can befall one in:1
this life. 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?:. If
you are seeking happiness, then
i make an' investment in others who
: neera your irienasmp, sunshine and
[ prood?i'lii't'1. The?diroot robelions-i
from such service will more than re|
pa.y jiuu fui your cflforta. ? The
heart that catches it's life visson
from this viewpoint, will never
be lonely or sad. 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. Insofar as this becomes i
the-ruling principles in our lives, we :
shall lose life's best things.
