But if he hath one enemy, he will meet him ev erywhere.” Doubtless, this poet never any truer words than these; for is it not true that we never see where we ean spare a friend? Also doesn’t our ene mies seem to follow us, and be always present to mar our pleas ure?

In view of this fact we should strive harder to possess the friendship of others and to lessen the cause for enmity, As the new year has dawned it is a good time to for get past offenses and start anew. Those who have offended others should repent and the one uf fended should freely forgive. In many instances this might be ac complished but for the reason that stubborness and pride have control of either or both parties concerned.
