BUILD A 3RIDGE
At first there was no bridge.
On either side of the wide river
people lived.
But those on the farside and those
on the near didn't know each other.
They had no way to trade happiness
or help or help or friendship.
Each v;as the poorer because no
highway lay betv;eon them.
put a bridge builder cane. Across
the river, reaching to the far
shore, he made his bridge-- a
thing of substance, solid and last
ing. And at once the people on
the far side and those on the near
became one people. Across the
bridge flowed an exchar. e of all
the good things that .each pos
sessed. Over the bridge ..eyed
friendship, under tandinx, affec
tion and : t .al : -ard.

Yov can build a brid e, too.

wants your understanding or some
one is happy and -wants to 3hare
