Love Is Impartial

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

VIVA J. BESSE

"You know," said Ann, as the Sunday school teacher was marking the attendance cards, "this proving each week what we have learned in Sunday school is very difficult at times."

The teacher had noticed that Ann was unusually quiet. She was generally full of laughter and happiness, which flooded the class, giving spontaneity to all the girls and much inspiration to the teacher. So she said: "Tell us about it. Ann; that is if you wish to. I am sure that our Lesson will answer any question you may have. You know we have talked before about the way the Lesson meets our needs and feeds us. That is why we study it each day, for we are assured of having our necessary spiritual food, and are able to apply the truths we have learned in our daily lives."

"Well." said Ann. "Desda is my very best friend. We have gone through high school together, and are congenial in every way— rather like sisters. We have studied hard and helped each other all that we could. We received top marks, and wanted to go through college together too. Both of us knew that we should probably have to work our way through college, so we decided to try for scholarships. When we heard that a certain university was offering competitive scholarships, we took the examination and tied for first place. Then we discovered that only one scholarship was to be given to our school. Because of the tie, the scholarship board reviewed all our other credentials and decided to award the scholarship to Desda. So it looks very much as though we shall be separated, and I shall have to do something else. I am ashamed, because, while I am happy about Desda, I am sorrier for myself than I am happy about her."
