A flower will not grow apart

away, you say, you have heard
birds sing while pent np in an iron
cage. But, listen have you heard
the sweet music that has its origin
in the woods. Why? The birds and
and woods are friends, and nat-
ural friends at that.
Thus you see how the sun’s rays
paint the beauty of the flowers “as
it waxes warm.” They are friends
and united by the greatest force
that broods over all the region of
this world nature. True friends,
why? what do they accomplish?
What is the result of their united
efforts? They transmute them-
selves into the rich juices of the
fruit. Well, you ask me if true
friendship for that is the only kind
of friendship begets great, grand
and honorable results. I say, with
a|| the frankness that I can com-
mand, that there we approach the
foundation of chilvary—the rock of
manhood, the flower of feudalism
for there is an alchemy in light
whose secret no alchemist knows.
Nor can ahuman heart unfo|d a
part from an evironment that is
warm and nourishing. Then do
your friends “make up” your every
day company? * Is it true? Did
you ever leave a friend without
a sudden “something" at the heart
which beats in your left side? You
never did, and you never will.
Then how can you stand up be-
fore your fellow citizens and say
that your happiness does not de-
pend upon your bonds of friend-
ship? After this realization, and
crystalization too—how can you
“jump around” this peg; the droop-
ing heart is an infallible §ign of a
soil that’s frigid and a shadow
thats deep.
In that hour when strange mis-
fortune, a weird fate, snuffed out
the light have you felt into the
darkness and longed for the touch
of a loving hand? Then don’t
preach smiles to a fellow on sweat-
shop wages, and be a citizen, be a
man, and last and best of all be
a friend, and yell these words down
the line:
"Smile, a smile as we go along,
Whistle a tune or sing a song,
Keep our joy thoughts ever ago,
We could mak eour happiness
