Judtte Barnes Speaks. 3 In the course of his remarks, Judge Barnes said that he intended to tal on the subject of Friendship spoke in part as follows: Aristotle in his Ethics says that the Mr. and|bad are friends for the sake of the pleasure and the useful, but the ; he says, are friends for the friend’s sake, and so is evolved the definition of friendship, that friendship is love Wwith the selfish element eliminated: If there is one thing that the Master taught as he went. up and down through Galilee, it was friendship. We have Old Home Week and when folks come back we show our friendship by tionate words said about the dead, sy pathy is expressed for those loved ones left behind, but did you ever stop to think that a little, help and a few kind words to your fellows while they are alive and when they are in trouble are of more moment to them than a wealih of costly blooms laid, however tender- ly, above the dead. The secret of success in this life is to be giving as well as taking: A honey bee takes nektar from the flow but also gives when he assists in f tilization and the flowers live. So in our life, when We give as well as take we fertilize the body politie and it lives. If we simply take and do not give the body politic' would die. The fact that we should show friend- ship fn this life is taught us in history, in science and in religion. And science teaches that we should Ab-. The show friendship to our fellows while they are alive and not after they are dead. There died about three ars ago in the city of Paris, the greatest psycho- logist of his day, Ell Metchnikoff. One day Eli Metchnikoff took a piece of glass and placed some drops of blood on the glass and examined ' the blood through a powerful microscope and saw the red corpuscles and the larger white corpuscles moving to. and fro in the Dblood. Now, dozens of scientists had done the same thing before him, but Eli Betchnikoff qperformed an experi- ment. He took some. disease germs and those disease germs in the drops of blood, and hrough his powerful glass he saw that he very moment those disease germs mu- Wwhite corpuscles slowly surrounded disease .germs and dissolved them. And that discovery cf Eli Metchnikoff revo- lutionized \ the entire system of med cine, and so, during the day and in the dai watches of the night, those white corpuscles aré moving fo and fro tigough your blood @and mine to protect us from disease, and they are doing it while we are alive, and not afier we are dead. And religion teac us should show friénds whilé we are alive. Now Bethaney a Sabbath day's journey from Jerusalem, and one day Jesus went out from Jerusalem to Beth- aney to sup at the house of Simon the leper, and .a poor woman, having an alabaster box of choice ointmen:, came in, broke the box, and anointed the.head of.

There lived many years ago on the top of a mountain in India an ola Buddhist priest. He was over eigaty years ald. They called him the Owl 1riest, One day a tourist met the priest whil: he Was ‘engaged in_ prayer on the top the mountain and asked him, “Whdt in a nutshell is the religion of Buddha' Thae oid priest, without opening his eyes, answered, “Eschew evil and show friendship.” Any 3-year- old child can say that,” said the tour- ist sarcastically, to the priest. “Yes,’ said the prie: “any three year oM child can say it; but an old man over eighty years of age, finds hard work to praciice it.” In Kansas are stored more than 77 million bushels of wheat waiting for a fair price. Other millions of bushels are held back-in other states. It is’ estimated that in China over .20 millions will die of hunger this winter. If true fgriendship existed in this world, our government would Luy the wheat #t a fair price and save the lives of those people.
