The subject runs; no risk: of exhaustion, As long as human beings inhabit our planet and discover that . none lives to ,himself alone there will be the expression of a fresh, recurrent wonderment: that along life's highway: there spring so many flower's of affec- tion if; we will but take their frag- • ranee and respond to their beauty as we go. We. can have friends, "if we. are. willing to have them. We, may tom enmities, as we choose to melte I them. No friendship ,is worth oily while if it is built tip at the expense' of character; if we, surrender` our finer impulse and our drii-iug purpose to influences that pull us down and to ` holdbe,'us back from all that we'ought- .

If the rest- less, sensational' excitement ceases,' then there comes a sense of intoler- able boredom; they become anathema, and aversion, each to the other. No• friendship can live where there Is not. a swift; eager interchange of human. interests, great or small. -By no -means must friendship be always on those august mountain- tops that are the first and the last_ to. catch the lightof the sun. Friendship lives also at life's common level and, '. by the multitude of little, adorable things -on a mere gesture, an inflec- tion, a ,sudden' beautiful light or a contrast of cool andquiet shade.
