PAGE EIGHT THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, THURSDAY. MAY iOtb, 1934 During the past year I bave read ta number o! articles. both in maga- zines and newspapers, as well as many letters that have corne to nme. on the subject o! "Nature's Balance," decrying actions or syaterns on the part o! man whicb the writers de- scribed as "interfering itb nature," "4upsetting nature's balance," anti so on. To ail who adopt that attitude, I shoulti like te put mysel! on record to the effect that, personaliy.

One of them is that there is oniy one thing in God's green eartb o! wblch no mortal ever tires. We grow tired of our eternal chase after dollars which recent events have proved so elusive and so varying in value; we grow tired of the chase o! fame, try- ing to be president of tbis or chair- man o! that; we become weary of trying to keep Up with the Joneses and gaining social prominenoe; we tire of our puny attempts to, gain power when we find how difficult it is to exercise wltb honor after it is attained; we grow tired- of even the love chase unti after it bas jostied down f rom passion into that pacld- ity of possession which brings peace. we grow tired of everything on earth except the face which grows brigh- ter when we corne, the eyes whlch wrmnkle at the corners when tbey rest on us, and the band wblch shoots out in happy greeting wben we corne within reach. These are the outer evidences of inward f riendship, andi they bring the greatest and the only untiring joy of 111e. Samnuel Johnson says, "If a manl does flot make new acquaintances as he advances tbrough 111e, be wll soon find hiniseif le! t alone. A man, Sir, should keep is friendshlps In constant repair." There is no man wbo is not a better man because be bas bnci a friend. The only way to bave a friend is to be one. The very unselflshness of being a f riend, the interest in some one else necessary to, frienti- ship. takes a man out of blimseif and rnakes him a bappier andi a better mian. To me, friendsbip is God's great- est gift to man. It is the sweetest thing in life and adds more bap- uiness to buinan existence than any other one thing. William Morris says;, 'Forsootb, bretbren fellowship is beaven and ack of feUlowship is hell: fellowship is if e and lack of fellowship is death; the deeds that ye do upon the eartb, t is for the feilowshlp's sake that ye do tbem." WVHEN MOTIIER PLAYS WITH ME Sometimes when it is raining bard, My mother piays with mie; She m.akes believe sbe's keeping house. And I'm ber company. Andi when I knock upon tbe door She ays: *"Corne in. sit down; I'm very glati that you bave corne; When did Yeu get to town?" And tben we talk about our 'fairs; 110w f ast the chUldren grow; Wbat! had the measies did, you say? You diti not let me know." Tben. when we've had a cup of tea, It's time for me to go.
