In this world one never knows how many and true are his friends until the testing time comes. In the trying ordeal which I have jjst passed, mine (by the score) have proven themselves in more ways th m i could ask or expect. My heart goes out in gratitude to them aii for their interest and prayers. It has been a revelation to me. To be blessed with such loyal friends makes the world brighter and inspires one with new desires to live, and in some faint way show the heart’s true appreciation. Friends, 1 thank you, I thank you; and may each one be blessed by Him who is able to bless and who rewards even the giving of a cup of cold water in His name. G. W. Cavenaugh.
