I do not know hs creed, I only know That here below, he walked the com mon road And lfted many a l'oad, lghtened the task, Brghtened the day for others tolng on a weary way : Ths, hs only need; I do not know hs creed. What was hs creed? I neve r heard hm speak Of v sons raptuorous, of Alpne peak, Of doctrne, dogma, new or old; But ths I know, he was forever bold To stand alone, to face the challenge of each day. H s creed? I care not what hs creed; Enough that never yelded he to greed, But served a brother n hs daly need; Plucked many a thorn and planted many a flower; Glorfed the servce of each hour; Had fath n God, hmself, and fellow men; Perchance he never thought n terms of creed. I only know he lved a,me n deed! -H. N. Ffer.

It s by the beneft of letters that absent frends are brought together. Be frends wth a man's goodness, and not wth hs weahh. A man's frends belong to hm not a wht more than he belongs to them. Those who are not our frends need not be our enemes. The fewer frends one has, the more one feels the value of frendshp. Do not pass by a place where there s a frend. Frendshp draws men together; self n terest separates them. When the character of a man s not clear to you, look at hs frends. For the frendshp of two, the patence of one s necessary! Better lose a lttle money than a lttle frendshp. No company s preferable to bad; we are more apt to catch the v,ces than the vrtues of others. Dseases are far more contagous than health.
