King’s Son And His Rival Form Famous Friendship Example of David and Jonathan Holds Hints for Everyday Royal Living—How to Find Friends, and to Be Friends — The Call for Courage.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS An absorbing series of “human interest stories" fill this first Book of Samuel. It is an excellent source 1 of tales for children; for here are adventures, giants, romance, kings and princes, a witch and a Prince Charming fleeing and fighting for out the similarity between David's hia life. Many persons will point fights and forays and those of the ' Arab patriots in Palestine today | . Most alluring of all the Incidents, 1 in this vivid book is the tale of the I romantic friendship between 1 Crown Prince Jonathan and David, I the shepherd-boy hero who slew ' Goliath. Their difference in station 1 I mattered less in the primitive life l of early Israel than it would hi Europe today. They were kindred ;in character and in spirit; their| j love was motivated by loyalty, and so. through changeful scenes, they ' maintained a friendship that has ever since been the world’s synonym for affection and steadfastness. We shall all be better friends for our visit with David and Jonathan. , Fools’ Gold Imitation friendship, the self- ' pleasing indulgence of congenial persons enjoying themselves In prosperity, is as common as night clubs or bar-rooms. It is the "fools’ gold.” which many a guileless spender has mistaken for the true treasure. Our only real friends are those who stand fast in adversity Literature abounds in the bitter ( railings of men who have been for-' saken by those whom they deemed ; friends, but who fell away in time: of need- "That friendship cannot i c®ittnue to the end that is begun Hot art end.” There is more bogus friendship ' in the world than there is counterfeit money. The “jollying" of the , salesman: the “glad handing” of 'the politician; the flattery of the self-seeking sycophant; — all these call themselves friendship. Whereas, the essence of friendship is unselfishness. It has its roots in character. It was only because both David and Jonathan were in themI selves such rare and royal spirits that their friendship became the perfect thing it was. A person finds his best friends by being his best self. At the Basis I Friendship must be before it can have. The art of true friendship — ; for friendship is an art, as well as a gift of God — requires, first of all, that one who would be a friend ; must have in himself the qualities of loyalty, of appreciation and of out-giving. Thus we are returned to the old, old question of personal character. For it needs nobility of - soul to enable one to be a great friend, a sharer of the soul’s best. The Perfect Friend was also the Perfect Man. Groups of young persons may i profitably discuss, "What is the first essential to friendship? How may I qualify for the role of friend. To achieve a great friendship is I one ot life’s noblest ambitions. A friend is the best fortune. But such friendship may not be expected by a trifling, drifting, superficial character. The best he may hope for is the congenial and transitory companionship of those of his own ilk. It takes a David to win the fried ship of a Jonathan. As some gushing women call everybody “dear” and “darling, so light-minded persons deem every pleasant acquaintance a friend. It has been said that “Acquaintances we may have many, but acquaintanceship is merely the grape of possibility from which the rich wine of friendship is aged and I mellowed." Webster s Dictionary I defines a friend as "one attached to another by esteem, respect and I affection.” So even the lexicographer puts first in friendship the ! more spiritual qualities, which ate soundly based. In Spite of All 1 Trifling differences and misund- ' erstandings often separate friends, when candor and confession would ««»»♦•*** ♦The Sunday School Lesson for September 18 is "Messages From Israel's Early Leaders Jonathan: Courageous Friendship.”—l Sam. 14:1-46; 18.1-4, 19:1-7; 10:1-42; 23:15-18; II Sam. 117-27. «»»»»•♦* • .♦*»•♦**

have healed the rift, (hie notable aspect of the David and Jonathan friendship is that while the two 1 were one in spirit, they were definitely opposite in interest. Jonathan was heir to Israel’s throne; Davi(J. as both knew, was destined to supplant him. This situation was frankly recognized and the prince besought his friend to deal kindly with his children, when David j should wear the crown. Jonathan was a great giver; his I divesting himself of his robe and ! armor, and bestowing them upon j David, was symbolic of his character. For his friend’s sake he risked I not only his father's wrath and recriminations, but also death at ! Saul’s hand. True loves makes no reservations. “A friend loveth at all times; and there is a friend that stkketh closer than a brother.” Courage is of the warp and woof of friendship. Where to Find Friends Great friendships are usually enriched by devotion to a common cause. Soldiers who have fought side by side; men who have shar--led a great experience together; followers of a study, a crusade or a leader, find themselves bound by ties of personal friendship. We ! used to jest about the marriages that were made within the Christian Endeavor fellowship. Coeducational students often develop a I greater tie within the lesser unity of devotion to alma mater. I That is why a large proportion {of the country's marriages arises out of Church fellowship. In friendi ship with Christ human friendships I are born. “We love because He first loved us." All that we know of friendship’s power to bind, to restrain, to inspire, to comfort and to satisfy springs from our exalted experieutces of the Diving lujve. "He that loveth not. knoweth not i God, for God is love.” Friendship is more than an enthusiasm or an ecstatic |>assion. It has wings, but it also hae wellshod feet, to walk the ways of everydayness. Mrs. Browning’s familiar lines, “How Do I Love Thee?” are a keen characterization of friendship’s expressions: How do 1 love thee? Let me count the ways, I- love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the end of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as men turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,—l love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
