2. "Ohre who will encourage us in
our Work' .'s True friendship is, above
'jealousy. Two close and real.friendle
of long standing were separated re-
cently,by the: passing of one of there
to the Great Beyond. The' departed
one had had many honors conferred
on her 'while the other one had work-
ed cheerily and steadily on. without a
great deal of recognition from the
outside .world. ,N'o fresh honor ever
came to the one who had gone but her
friend was just ,els .much pleased a-
bout it as if the honor had been con,
(erred on herself. That is a mark of
true friendship.
$. "A true friend will not agree
with us . in .everything, .but will talk
things over with us without disagree,•
rent" Too often we find two people
who have been friends for many years
quarelling over politics; some major
question of the day; or even church
affairs. They thought they were real
friends but their friendship was not
true. It would not stand the strain
of a difference of opinion. What e
tragedy, the happiness of two lives
spoiled over some trivial matter!
Even if your opinion is not the same
as that of some one else, let it go at
that. Change the subject and stop
the argument before it goes too far.
Even while the discussion is going on
we can pray that God will keep us
from saying something which would,
be better left unsaid. If in our lives
there has been a disagreement such
as that let us be the one who will go
and bring about a reconeilliation. We
will have so much more happiness if
we are the one to do so, we will find
that we have done what Jesus Christ
would want us to do. Even if we are
the loser let u's lose in a gracious
manner. Follow the words of the
Master, "Whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so
to them," If we would only follow
that how much more friendship would,
mean to us.
4. "Someone to whom r can tell my
troubles and they will not be repeated
to anyone." What a oontemptable
thing it is to lead one to expect that
we will keep her confidence and then
go and, repeat what she has told us.
The fact that we may live in a house
by the side of the road and be a friend
to man "should keep us above any de-
grading action such as that.
5. "One who will be faithful to us
during our times of trial," a beautiful
scripture example 'of that is the story
of Ruth who wished to 'go back to
Judah with her mother-itt-law Nao-
mi." Her words are so tender and
thoughtful as she said, "Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to rearm from
following after thee; for whether
thou goest, I will go; and where thou
lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall
be my people, and thy God my God."
6. "One who thinks kindly of us."
Does it ever occur to us that we can
train ourselves to think more kindly
of everyone? We meet people, not
often it is true, whose whole life is
made up of thinking unkind thoughts

Thousands of miles from the war
zone,, people are now slitting their U.S.A.
who have made the supreme sacrifice
in the present Conflict.
This appeal is not made on behalf
of the Legion or of its members, but
on behalf of all Ex -Service men who
are in need'. The collection and ad-
ministration of the Poppy Fund has
been entrusted to the Canadian Leg-
ion. This, however, dose not mean
that the Poppy Fund is part of the
funds of the Legion. It is kept en-
tirely separate and is not even treat-
ed as a part of the relief fund. It is
rather considered as a trust fund
which the Legion administers for the
benefit of all ex -Service men. In
granting relief, members of the Leg-
ion receive no preference but ail ex -1
Service men stand on an equal foot-
ing, Ajny man who has ee2wed and
who is in need, Lias a claim on this
fund. The Poppies and Wreaths
which you will be asked to buy are
made by an Organization of Disabled
Ex -service men. These men are ab-
solutely incapable of earning a living
in any other way, and but for this
industry would be a charge on the
public funds. If Poppy Day did noth-
ing but keep. these men self-suppor-
ting and self -repeating citizens, it
would still be worth while.
1 The organization of Poppy Day, the
sales of wreaths and poppies, the
handling of monies collected', the ins
vestigation and relief of all appli-
cants, are done by voluntary workers.
No man or women connected in any
way with this receives one cent as
wages, salary, bonus, commission or
allowance for expenses. All monies
collected' are placed in a special ac-
count which is controlled by a Board
of Trustees of this Branch. Every
expenditure made is approved and ev-
ery account checked by the Board.
Every applicant for relief is investi-
gated carefully but sympathetically.
Relief may take the form of food,
clothing, fuel, rent or medical assis-
tance. It is practically never issued
in cash.
1 Should any of our friends desire
further information on any point in
connection with Poppy Fund activi-
ties, our Branch Secretary will be
glad to supply it. The Canadian Log-
in is grateful for the hearty support
they have always received from the
general public to make the lot of the
distressed ex -Service man easier, and
it is our hope that there will be no
partial or permanent blackout for
them. GIVE AND GIVE' FREELY!
