The Friendship Of
David and Jonathan
Sermon by
REV. FLOYD w. TOMKTNS.
Text: I. Samuel "A.

Friendship is beautiful thing, and
the word friend is one OF the most sa-
cred OF words. 1t can only be known
between man and man and between
man and God. and II can only be really
known between man and man when
is known between man and God.
nat is to say, true friendship is born
81 God. We love others because God
owes us and we love Him. 1t was
necause OF the loyalty of both David
and Jonathan to Jehovah that they
we're able to love and trust each other
There we're certain characteristics
OF this friendship which ii is we'll for
US to note particularly. as they have
TO do with all true friendship. First:
There was absolute frankness between
the two men, they kept nothing back
from each other. AS Longfellow beau
t!fully writes in his "Hiawatha." they
Snake with naked hearts together.
rendering much and much contrivinE
no" the tribes of men might prosper.
The conversation OF the two men is

us race that openness and confidence
"lthout which there can be no friend
snip There must be absolute sincerity
ana openmindcdness between friends
me reason so many friendships fail
ana hearts arc broken is because Of
deceit, either wilful or unconscious.
READY TO MAKE
SACRIFICES FOR EACH OTHER
NOTICE. again, how both David and
jonathan were ready to sacrifice every
ming and submit each to the Will Of
nc orher. Jonathan said to David I.
hatsoever thy soul desireth will
even no II FOR thee" And David swore
70 jonathan: II will not cut off ny
Hindness from thy house foreve- -
mere can be no true friendshin with
7n' sacrifice. and this sacrifice is made
possible By confidence True love is

In 1915 Il. G. we have u tablet re.

stipulation mat the young woman sup

which she was to become absolutely

who belonged to a luxurious class.
Again, a little girl IL adopted and
seven shekels Of gold paid to her
mother. 1t is agreed in the deed that
she he allowed to pour water occa-

From this collection Of tablets we

very ancient and that a woman APP

contracted to lease her goats and
sheep to a man and he left the impress
Of his thumb in lieu Of seal upon the

In 1000 Il. G.. Beltani, n widow from
Sippar, sued a man named Zasia In

The worst thing about Guatemala
l., the monetary system. The ram
American financial conference in
Washington in one of is group con-
ference reports sought to ana.yze the
situation for the benefit of the .AIneri-
can public. II discovered that the
monetary system needed r~eorEariZa-
ton and that the people needed better
credit facilities. The large volume of
paper notes outstanding has largely
deprecated the buying power of the
people: but the worst effect, on which
the Ian-American group Gid not touch,
has been the loss Of wages to the work
ing population. The Pan-American
group found that IT would he neces-
sary for Guatemala To borrow sl",0Oo,-
O00 in gold to pace II nam
tain the country on a gold II 4.
4 loan N the United states was sug-
eested for that purpose.
American inanc!ers heretofore have
been shy of financing Guatemala,
though a few years ago plans were
