Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, Jonathan: Nobility in friendship, I Sam. 18:3-4; 19:1-7; 23:15-18, for Sunday, August 18. Jonathan was a pringe, next in power to his father. Saul, first king of Israel. He was a leader of men, a valiant defender of Israel, but we know him best as the loyal friend of David, the lowly shepherd boy. He tried to be loyal to his unworthy father, but his loyalty to David was based on a spiritual kinship and a natural compatibility because they were both brave and YOU CAN HAVE 98 DAYS To make your first payment, when you borrow Here. 157 So. 2nd Street r Phone 3-3133 UHRICK BROS.

Vs. 3, 4. ‘"nien Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul . . • And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.” It is a common custom in the Orient for friends to express their love with gifts of clothing. The friendship of David and Jonathan has become symbolic of all true friendships ever since. V. 1. “And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.” Saul was almost insanely jealous, and When he found the people lauded and loved David because of his prowess in defeating Goliath, he wanted to eliminate him. instead of being proud of, adding such a ■> man of strength to his court. Vs. 2, 3. “But Jonathan. Said's son, delighted much in David; and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: Now therefore, I pray thee, take heed of thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself: . . . And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art. and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see. that I will tell thee." The covenant of friendship worked to David's benefit almost immediately. Jonathan recognized David as the strong man come to save Israel and he dared approach his father to try to divert him from carrying out his cruel plan. Jonathan resolved his conflicting loyalties by becoming a peacemaker between his father and his good friend. s l Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him. Let not the i king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned 1 against thee, and because his works have been to theeward very good: For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst, rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou’ sin against innocent blood, to slay David without cause?” Jonathan tried to appeal to his father’s better nature, his sense of fairness and ! justice in reminding him of his 1 debt to David and his innocence of wrong doing-against Saul. In so doing, Jonathan made every effort to have his father -take a sane and rational attitude toward David. V. 6. “And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware. As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain," Saul was a-’Weak character, moody and tempermental and therefore unpredictable, but for the moment, Jonathan’s pleading had dissuaded his father from ! killing David. Jonathan pled for l David with complete disregard for his own interests. V. 7.." And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David ‘to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.” Jonathan’s faith and love brought about the truce His efforts at peace making brought good results, even though only temporarily. , Vs. 15, 1«. “And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: • and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood . . . And Jonathan Saul's son, arose, and went to David in the wood, and strengthened his hand in God ” Jonathan was truly self-sacrificing in that, first, he was willing to stand aside and see David made king, and then, risked his father's displeasure and violence by seeking out his friend to give him the encouragement he so ' needed. Saul’s violent jealousy made him forget the truce and he again sought to kill David. Vs. 17, 18. "And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou ;hait be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth. ... And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to

his house." Jonathan recognized David's destiny and was content to be second in command, which never came to pass because of his untimely death. David kept his covenant of friendship years later when, as king, he befriended and cared for Jonathan’s crippled son. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of I Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.SA., and used by permission. oal rk| Discussion Question on the Sun- i day School Lesson, Jonathan: Nobility in Friendship, for Sunday, August 18. 1. Why did Saul try to destroy the friendship between David and Jonathan? 2. What are the characteristics of a loyal friend? 3. How did Jesus say we could prwe our friendship toward Him? 4. What principles should guide our decisions when we have conflicting loyalties? 5. What characteristics did Jonathan have that made him strong and what characteristics made Saul weak? Happiness Big pleasures and great happiness are but the consummation of many little pleasures and deeds of kindness bound together, as a loaf of bread is jnany crumbs in the aggregate. J Happiness is the art of finding joy and satisfaction in the little J privileges of life: a quiet hour in j the sun instead of a far-away jour- ' ney; a little outing in the near-by ’ woods instead of long trips away; an hour with a friend instead of an ! extended visit_with relatives: a few" pages of a book instead of hours of reading at a time; a flash of sunset, a single beautiful flower, a passing smile, a kindly word, a little gift bestowed anonymously, a little thoughtfulness here and there as the days slip by- these are the crumbs of happiness. Do not despise them, lest when the evening finds you. you be an- ‘ hungered and disconsolate. I Do ASD) You K no i Give four Bible answers to each question: t 1. Disciples of Christ ? 2. Foods ? [ 3. Tribes of Israel? i 4. Mountains ? 5. Cities ? I ; Our Preacher Says: “Lord, I pray that I may seek to ! console rather than to be consoled; to understand, rather than to be understood; to love rather than to ( be loved. For it is in giving that , we receive; in self-forgetfulness . that we find our true selves; in forgiving that we are forgiven, in dying that we are raised to life everlasting." Some people carry their religion . like a load on their backs, when they should be carrying it like a song in their heartsj Many people owe the grandeur of their life to their difficulties.

Hannah, in turn, kept her promises to God. ? ■, Lesson Prayer: Dear Father, we thank Thee that if we sincerely make and keep our vows to Thee, we are assured of a blessing and answer to our prayers, it they are made in humility and such as to advance Thy Kingdom.

On one occasion, John Wesley expressed great concern because many of the Christians of his day were living satisfied lives in Which few evidences of transformed lives could be observed. They did not have inner strength, nor did they witness to their faith- He wrote, "I am more convinced that preaching like an Apostle, without joining together those that are awakened and training them up in the ways of God, is only begetting children for the murderer. How much preaching has there been for these twenty years all over Prembookshire! But no regular societies, no discipline, no order of connection, and the consequence is that nine of the ten once awakened are now faster asleep than ever.” Why not accept the invitation and COME TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY? Keugious groups control 3» percent of the nation's 1,886 colleges and universities (Protestants, 474; Roman Catholic, 265), reports the U. S. Office of Education. At least half the world’s people over 10 years of age are totally illiterate, another 15% are partially illiterate. These facts were pointed out at UNESCO’s exhibit at UN headquarters recently. The World Christian Endeavor Convention will be held in Adelaide, Australia, next January. A large local and national committee is actively preparing for this event. Dr. Daniel A. Poling, president, is expected to deliver the main address. The American Council of Churches is bringing eight refugees from behind the Iron Curtain to this country who will speak in seventeen cities, including New York and Washington. They have been asked to tell how Christianity and the churches, ape faring behind the Iron Curtain. The American Church in Paris, reported to be the first American riiapcl founded on foreign soil, marks its 100th anniversary this year. Formed to serve the American colony in the French capitol, the church is the oldest nongovernmental _American_ institution in Europe. A $140,000 fond has been raised to restore historic Calvin Auditorium in Geneva. Switzerland, as a world Presbyterian and Reformed Center. The auditorium was erected in the 14th century.
