THE HEART’S DESIRE
‘ FRIENDSHIP. Friendship is naturally treated by the majority of mankind as a tough and everlasting tiling which will survive all manner of bad treatment. Halt this is an exceedingly great and foolish error; it may die in an hour of a single unwise word ; its conditions of existence are that it should be dealt with delicately and tenderly, being as it is a sensitive plant and not a roadside thistle. We must not expect our friend to be. above humanity. —Ouidn. FRIENDS IN NEED* When we have fallen through story after story of our vanity and aspiration, and sit ruefully among the ruins, then it is that we begin to measure the stature of our friends; how they stand between us and our own contempt, believing in our best. —R. L. Stevenson. * -x- * * \\ luehever way the wind doth blow Some heart is glad to have it so; Then blow it east or blow it west, The wind that blows, that wind is best,. —C.A. .Mason.
