Only after passing the matriculation of experienceand the examination of fortune willthey be graduates not alone in affection but indiscernment. Though this is the most importantthing in life, it is the one least cared for.
Intelligence brings friends to some, chance tomost. Yet a man is judged by his friends, forthere was never agreement between wise menand fools. At the same time, to find pleasurein a man's society is no proof of near friendship: it may come from the pleasantness of his
company more than from trust in his capacity.There are some friendships legitimate, othersillicit ; the latter for pleasure, the formerfor their fecundity of ideas and motives. Feware the friends of a man's self, most those ofhis circumstances. The insight of a true
friend is more useful than the goodwill ofothers : therefore gain them by choice, not bychance. A wise friend wards off worries, afoolish one brings them about.

MAKE USE OF YOUR FRIENDS.This requires all the art of discretion.Some are good afar off, some when near.Many are no good at conversation but excellentas correspondents, for distance removes
some failings which are unbearable in closeproximity to them. Friends are for use evenmore than for pleasure, for they have the threequalities of the Good, or, as some say, of Beingin general : unity, goodness, and truth. Fora friend is all in all. Few are worthy to be
good friends, and even these become fewerbecause men do not know how to pick themout. To keep is more important than tomake friends. Select those that will wearwell ; if they are new at first, it is someconsolation they will become old. Absolutely
the best are those well salted, though they mayrequire soaking in the testing. There is nodesert like living without friends. Friendshipmultiplies the good of life and divides theevil. Tis the sole remedy against misfortune,the very ventilation of the soul.

MATTHEW 26:6 12
JESUS ANOINTED AT BETHANY6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon theLeper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of
very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head ashe was reclining at the table. 8 When the disciples sawthis, they were indignant. Why this waste? they asked.9 This perfume could have been sold at a high price andthe money given to the poor.10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, Why are you
bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing tome. 11 The poor you will always have with you,[a] butyou will not always have me. 12 When she poured this
perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached
throughout the world, what she has done will also betold, in memory of her.
JUDAS AGREES TO BETRAY JESUS14 Then one of the Twelvethe one called Judas Iscariot
went to the chief priests 15 and asked, What are you
willing to give me if I deliver him over to you? So theycounted out for him thirt ieces of silver. 16 From then
