So long as men come together in business, in the home, in the church; in fact, while human habitation covers the globe, the man who has the religion of neighborliness, who touches • with warm and sure hand the greatest num ber of human hear' a, who sees in each of his fellowmen a neighbor, will be blessed with friends ami will lie a giant among his fellows. I have oft told this story, hut it will bear repeating. While the philosophy may seem quaint, it is nevertheless true. "An old man stood near 9 cross roads several miles from town when a new neighbor paused with not over pleasant greeting, "What manner of people live in this town?" asked the new-coming resident. "What itianner of people did you live among before ?", the old which will last through June Tth. . . the tired horses. "The people in the town I came from/' answered the stranger, "were mean. They were narrow, they were suspicious, selfish, close-fisted and qu.ck to take an unfair advantage,*" ' Then," said the old man, "1 am sorry, for you will find the same kind cf people here." And the newcomer found as the old man said. Anoiher day the old man stood at the same cross-rood when another s'ranger stopped and inquired about the people of the town, and to him the-old man put the question "What manner of people did you live among before?" A broad smile overspread fea tures of,the stranger as he answered, 'Friend," he said, "There are no finer people anywhere than the people 1 left behind. They were neighbors; 'they were friendly; they were thought ful and kind, and I loved them. It was hard for me to leave. I loved them all, but I had to journey on." ■"the face of the old man beamed 1 wilh welcome. "Be of good cheer," my neighbor," he said, "for you will find the same kind of people here." Arid again it was as the old man said. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." It is an old proverb, but full of meaning and wisdom. It is not a mere platitude; not a myth or senti ment. It is a fundamental law of life, it is as sure and true in its working as the law that gives the sun its heat. If you crave happiness, you will find it within your own heart. If you want your neighbor to be more sincere ami friendly, be more sincere and friendly yourself. If you regret the 'lack of cordial and kindly interest, be a bit more cordial and more interest ed in others, and just as surely as God Is In His heavens, you will discover that the people you treat this way will treat you this way, too.
