self, and acts for himself. In throwing the individual thus back upon himself it is not shutting his eyes to the stimulus and light and new life that come with the warm pressure of the hand, the kindly word, and the sincere expression of true friendship. But true friendship is rare; its great value is in a crisis — like a lifeboat. Many a boasted friend has proved a leaking, worthless "lifeboat" when the storm of adversity might make him useful. In these great crises of life, man is strong only as he is strong from within, and the more he depends on himself the stronger will he become, and the more able will he be to help others in the

hour of their need. His very life will be a constant help and a strength to others, as he becomes to them a living lesson of the dignity of self-reliance.

A SONG— EARLY IN THE MORNING (Dedicated to Hamilton G. Park.)

When Aurora glints the mountains, in the resurrection day, While the dew is on the lilies where the fragrant breezes play; When the angel sounds his trumpet for the dead in Christ to rise, may I behold the glory of his coming through the skies

Chorus: Early in the morning of the resurrection day, When the dew is on the lilies and the fragrant breezes play.

In the joyous, sacred dawning of the resurrection day, May I find my loved ones waiting to pursue our upward way Through the flaming, golden splendor as we answer to His call: Come, ye faithful, I will crown you— I, your King and Lord of all. Chorus

When his presence fills the temple, in the resurrection day, May I meet the seer beloved with the saints in white array; May our voices intermingle in that glad seraphic strain- reign. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Christ has come to earth to

Chorus: Ruth May Fox. Salt Lake City, Utah.
