In the Sunday School,
By w. P. CHAMBERS.

In reading the newspapers we often
find where some veteran of the war
between the States, after relating an
incident in which he was the recipient
of favor, inquiring for any descend
ant of the one bestowing the favor,
that he might in some manner show a
kindness in return. The same spirit
that prompts the veteran of today to
feel kindly disposed toward the one
who showed him kindness more than
forty years ago, prompted David to
inquire for any descendants af Saul.
Nearly thirty years has elapsed
since David had looked into Jonathan's
face or heard the tones of his voice,
yet he recalled the sweet companion
ship of his early life and felt the
sacred obligations of the covenant he
and his friend had entered into. 1t
is not improbable that the memory of
this covenant had almost faded from
the mind of David, for he had lived
