The immediate re- sponse was: "I had a friend." We should carefully guard our friends as we should regard our sav- ings. Both should be treated as a bulwark against disaster.

One should learn to give as well as to take and when a'true friend is discovered bind him to your heart with bands of steel, True friends are not easy to find.
