PARK, West End ILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA SJN1WSQ100L (By E. 0. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IlL) LESSON FOR MAY 9 PRIENDSHIP OF DAVID AND JON. ATHAN. LESSON TEXT-1 Samuel 20:32-42. GOLDEN TEXT-A friend loveth at all times.-Prov. 17:17. There is perhaps no narrative in all history or literature which so perfect ly illustrates the conditions of friend ship as this which is before us. Jon. athan was every inch a man; affection ate, sweet and tender, deeply pious and withal loyal to both duty and friends. His rights, as the king's son, he gladly set aside for David, whom he "loved as his owne soul" (ch. 18:3; 20:17). Jonathan is a great- type of the surrendered life (ch. 23:17). 1. David's Danger, vv. 32-35. Three times in the previous chapter (vv. 5, 14, 30) we read that David "behaved himself wisely." "Saul eyed David" (v. 19) and his jealous anger grew as he gave vent to his hate. Jonathan's desires for David drew the anger of Saul (20:30), but it only put him more upon his guard and made him more de termined, if possible, to save both David and Saul. Following David's escape (18:18) he consulted Jonathan regarding his safety (20.1-10). They renewed their covenant and swore fealty to each other and to those of. their house holds (vv. 11-17). It is a standing re buke that Christians treat so lightly their covenants with the church and with the world. David was safe at Naioth (19:18-24), for each company sent after him, and Saul himself, were hindered by the Spirit of Jehavah from carrying out Saul's foul designs. This seemed for the moment to humble Saul (20:1; Ps. 97:1). Jonathan, though great and mighty, was not strong enouglh to deliver his friend from the renewed wrath of his father. "Vain is the help of man." "Our help is in the Lord." Jonathan showed his true friendship in that he told the ex act state of affairs to David (v. 10). When Saul became convinced that Jonathan was taking David's part, he tried to kill Jonathan and reviled the mother who bore him (v. 30). In his loss of self-control Saul allowed David to escape. Even so, sin overshoots its mark. The contrast is a dark one to contemplate. ii. David Delivered, vv. 35-42. Jon athan did not revile again (v. 34) when insulted and assailed by his father, and his manifestation of just anger (for his mother was reviled) was quite different from that of his father. Any attempt to reconcile Saul to Da vid (v. 34) was a useless exposure to danger and for Jonathan to be seen with his friend would imperil his own life. This explains the expedient of shooting arrows in the field. Jonathan shot his arrows "beyond," i. e., David must go "beyond" and out of the reach of Saul. David trusted Jonathan's fidel ity (v. 23) when the test came, though Jonathan might have good reason for playing him false in order to promote his own interests. Dismissing the boy, Jonathan drew necar to David's hiding place, to the south of the stone Ezel (V. 41 R. V.), wher-e a most touching parting took place between these two friends. First of all David bowed ceremoniously three times, touching his head to the ground, perhaps to show his unshaken loyalty to Jonathan as the king's son. This was but for a moment; as men of the East and friends, they rushed to each other's. arms and wept for a long time. These wvere the manly tears of two brave men not afraid to show their love and emotions. It has been suggested that Jonathan should have accompanied David as God's elect (H-eb. 13:13), but we feel that duty bade him to remaIn by the side of his sin.-stricken father. The Lessons of the Lesson. True friendship costs. God's love gave to the wvorld his Son. Jonathan's friend ship for David was costly, but was given gladly, not grudgingly. True friendship neither forgets duty nor neglects its desire towards the object of its love. It is not governed emotion ally, yet it disregards all other ties, if they are wrong. Not even a father or mother should lead us to wrong a friend. When David came into power ho remembered the everlasting cove nant made with Jonathan (II Sam. 9:3). Our "Son of David" has made a similar covenant with us (Acts 16:31; 2:39). True friendship is of slow growth, but is not easily killed, chilled by reverses, nor frozen by ad versity (Prav. 18:24). True friendship is unselfish. It gives and does not seek. True friendshil', is founded upon re ligion and the best friendt,, the ideal friend, is Jesus Christ. That friendship which is based upon oaths, ritual and dues, is not abiding, nor truo friendship, for it excludes all who fail to possess the same pass werdl or a sufficient amount of money. That friendship which is based upon expediency, or a quid pro quo, is by no means true friendship; it is as ephemeral as the mor-ning mist and as frail as a chain of sand. The friendship which has as its com mon center God's best boon, the friend ship'of hin Son, will, if it is true and genuine, abide forever. Today will, be observed by many schools as "Mother's day." Deafness Cannot B3e Cured by local applications, as thcey cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to euro deafness, and that is by cojnstitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamsed condi tion of the mucous lining .of theo Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a, rumnbling sound or -imperfect noe'ring, and when it is entirely closed, D~earnesg Is the result, and unlessq the in Ilammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal -condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nino cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, wyhich is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces. ~~1Iivo One Hundre Dollars forsnycaef ro. recas rb Hold - V - eco. Oolenoy Nws Notes Oolenoy, April 29. -At a very early hour on last Sunday morn Ing, when the moon and stars were keeping watch over a 814p iig world, a. loe *nan in a shackly bugy, draWn by a-lit tle red mule, Was qxietly wend ing his way along the mountain road. Indeed, he seemned to be enjoying the quiet hour to'the fullest until suddenly confronted by Rural Policeman J. T. Mc Kinney and our magistrate's constable, S. A. Burgess. Upon search it was found that-he had in his possesion several 'gallons of so-called "motintain dQw." He was carried to the couity jail, where he remained until he gave bond. This is the first Visit of the rural policeman, who has just recently received his , ap pointment, but the citizens feel confident that much good in the way of law and order will be accomplished by him. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. M. Keith spent the week-end with the lat ter's brother, Mr. Silas Robert son, of the Peters Creek section. Mr. Robertson is critically ill and little or no hope is held for his recovery. Hon. and Mrs. Matthew Hen drix attended the funeral of his brother-in-law, Mr. Edward W. Keeler, ou Monday at Ebenezer church. Mr. Keeler was well and favorable known in this vicinity and his death is a source of much lament. Mr. S. 1". Keith spent Sunday with his uncle Mr. Silas Robert son. Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Edens were visitors at the county seat last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E.

The Scandai Monger ''So strong,so swift, the monster there's no gagging; Cut off Scandal's head, still the tongue is wagging." How many times have all of us had occasion to realize the truth of Garrick's unitiue rhyme. The cause of gossip may be abated, b~ut once a scandal has started, like a prairie fire, there's no stopping it. The subject is of pertinent in terest because of a very recent affair in this city. A shooting scrape in an office building is explained on the ground that trouble between the two men was engendered by idle, if not malicious gossip. How easy it all starts-the mere raising of the eyebrows is sufficient. The next man shrugE his shoulders, and the third gives vent to some exclamation. Fin ally, it is a matter of gossip, then downright scandal, and in the end a woman's good name is blackened, a man's reputatior ruined, or the standing of a bus iness house menaced. 2,"Tale-bearers are as had a: tale- makers,'' said Sherid an, bui modern opinion is that they ar< a great deal worse. When on has only laid the foundation foi a fire, the other fanis it into conflagration. A scandal monger should b< despised of all men and women --Macon News.
