THE STORY.

GGXXY E have chosen thee this day tc
w be our prince and captain that
thou mayest fight our battles"
Jonathan would never forget those
words spoken by his brethren some
time after the death of Judas. Other
honors were to come to him in his
brave and noble career, but none ever
warmed his heart more or stirred it
more deeply than those words of con-
fident trust from his own brethren.
In that hour great and undying am
bition was born in his breast to prove
worthy and faithful as the leader of
his people. And his devotion was to
be tested to the utmost, as subsequent
events proved.
It was not long after his call 70
leadership before Bacchides, the pow
erful captain under King Demetrius
laid a plot to kill him, and certain it
is that it would have been successful
had not one unto whom Jonathan had
shown a kindness years before secret
" brought word to him. Then JON
athan, and Simeon his brother, and
all that were with him fed into the
wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched
their tents by the water of the pool
Asphar.
Upon this, Bacchides followed, but
Jonathan escaped across the Jordan
after he had killed about a thousand
of the men of Bacchides' army.
Then did Bacchides return to Jeru-
salem and repaired the strong cities
of Jordan, and took the sons of the
chief men of the country as hostages
and shut them up in the tower in
Jerusalem and caused much distress
in the land, but it came to pass that
finally he returned to his own land
and Judea had rest. But not for long,
for all the ungodly men of the land
! who hated Jonathan took council to-
gether, and said:
Behold, Jonathan and his company
are at ease, and dwell without care:
now therefore let us 60 to Bacchides
and urge him to return thither, for
except we have his help Jonathan and
his men will destroy u.s.
So 1t came to pass that Bacchides
| returned with a strong army, but JON
athan discounted him SO that he was
glad to make peace with him, but be-
lore departing Gem the land he slew

A Sublime Truth.

In the mythology of no country is
this wonderful thought found: No
man hath seen God at any time, the
only begotten Son, which is in the bo-
som of the Father, he hath declared
him." So that here, in the primary
truth, supposed to be the simplest and
most manifest of all, we find ourselves
in the presence of the most sublime
and glorious of Divine relations. We,
in common with the most needy and
sinful of men, have heavenly Father,
and the service which he requires Of
us is that we love him with all our
heart and soul and strength and mind,
and that we love our neighbor as our.
selves. To take out the last element,
and to treat it as though it were the
whole of religion, is to mistake alto
gether the teaching of Scripture: HE
who loves not his brother whom he
has seen, how can he love God whom
he hath not SEEM" But on the other
hand, that pure, sympathetic, active,
merciful love of man which is seen in
the heroism Of q parent and self-deny-
ing service for humanity, can never
reach it's true elevation unless it be
quickened and inspired by a love to
the common Father of us all. For it is
Jesus who has revealed the Father to
us, and those who deny the Son there.
by deny the Father also. The world
has had no such friend as the Saviour,
who freely gave himself for us all:
and that which robs US of him leaves
us without the one purifying and gra-
cious force which can weld us into
one brotherhood of love.
