AS we study today's lesson the i'm
mortal portrait of friendship we can
not fail to recall how mother, our best
friend, exhibited all the characteristics
of friendship that has made the mys-
tic tie that existed between David and
Jonathan the worlds great model.
Friendship proves itself in times of
adversely, when the self-sacrificing
services reveals beyond question the mo-
tive that prompts a friends endeavors.
The tie that united David and Jona-
than, as we have seen in our former
studies, was a spiritual affinity.
Founded upon a common love for Je-
hovah, who had guided and given VIC
tory to both when in response TO His
call they had dared to enter into bat
tie alone for His glory and the veal Of
their nation their friendship was fos-
tered by their patriotism and bravery.
Each admired the other for his cour-

It required true friendship to give the
warning that would save David's life and
give him without any doubt in Jonathan s
mind the kingdom. He had risked his
fathers displeasure and his own life to
keen his covenant with David. There was
no hesttancy in his acts. The boy was
sent after the arrows as they planned
The message that proclaimed danger to
David meant the loss Of the throne for
Jonathan 1t called for pure affection
and loyalty to God, who had selected
David to be king, and to his friend
Jonathan never faltered in his duty to
save David, even when 1t meant risklng
his own life to save the one whose e!eVa-
ton meant his exclusion from the king
dom. After the signal had been given
and the boy had been sent back to the
capital. David and Jonathan had bitter
parting
The two friends. who had but a mo
ment to be together, knew the risks that
they took David trusted Jonathan, and
the latter, too. wished TO say goodbye
to his friend before he started out on
his wandertngs.
Last summer the writer saw tho scene
repeated time and time again as men
embraced one another, kissed one another
first upon one cheek. then the other bid
ding Sons. cousins and members of their
tribe goodbye who had responded to the
command OIL IIe " IlloDillZt the
forces in Palestine They, too. realized
as did David and Jonathan that they
might never meet again. Not many
words were said, for things were urgent
and the danger of delay was great, but
as they embraced great tears were shed.
The tears were those Of manly men, who
loved one another with all their hearts
They renewed their covenant and parted
probably forever.
AS they parted David seems to have
been the most overcome. He did not
forget his covenant, as We will find out
in later studies when we consider him
on the throne Jonathan we admire. yet
he might have gone a step further
The step that mother always takes for
her own. The step Jesus took when he
left His throne In glory to share the
life of humanity. If Jonathan had taken
that step, quit the court and followed
the fortunes of his friend his friend
ship would have been without a flaw.
There are too many today who are
ready to help the cause of Christ and
His church by warning them of the
crisis that the kingdom of God is fac
ing, one that calls for all to show their
colors, who hesitate to break with
friends, who are foes of Christ and His
church. The friend who proved His
friendship for the world by His death
on Calvary wants to count us among
His friends We are such when we
obey His comma ndments. We prove
our friendship by loving Him all the
of the Holy Spirit to do His will. JON
athan proved his friendship by being
willing to sacrifice for David. Let us
sacrifice our all and help make Christ
king SO that the world might have His
peace.

Congregational Church. at 10th and G
streets northwest, has received call
to the pastorate Of the Congregational
church at Upper Moptclair, N. j.. one
of the Jersey suburbs Of New York
city. While he has not yet declined the

the offer.
Rev. Stocking came to the First Con-

Prior to coming to Washington he had
occupied the pulpit of a church in
Mass. A short time ago
he declined a call from a church In one
OF the suburbs Of Boston.

ageous stand that he had taken in the
hours of trial.
Jonathan loved David as his own soul
and entered into compact OF friend
ship with him shortly after David had
succeeded in defeating Goliath, when
as sign of that friendship that was
never to be broken Jonathan gave to
the hero of the hour his own royal
robe.
During the melancholy period. that
we considered last week. when Saul
sought to kill David, Jonathan had
played the part of a peace maker, prov
ing to his insane father his error, as
no doubt Jonathan thought, and
brought them together once more. Saul
was merely waiting a favorable hour
and method of destroying David, whose
life had been protected by the watch
care of Jehovah.
David. who probably had enjoyed a
temporary Improvement in his rela-
tons with Saul after the latter's ex-
perience at Naboth. recorded in last
part OF the preceding chapter. was
convinced that his life was endanger-
ed when he sought secret conference
with Jonathan that he might have the
benefit of his counsel and renew their
covenant of love.

David's Danger Detected.

The appearance of the new moon is
usually period when the patients in
our hospitals for the insane are the
worst
The fact that 1t was at the time OF
the new moon when the morbid jeal-
ousy against David unveiled itself
rarily insane. If not incurably insane.
The court feast. which amounted to an
act of worship. was attended by all
the courtiers. The absence of any one
had to be accounted for at the feast,
which was a sort of special Sabbath,
when all abstain from business and
unnecessary labor. David's failure to be
present aroused the suspicion of Saul
Upon the second day of the feast Saul
sought an exlapnation of his absence
from David's bosom friend and compan-
ion, Jonathan.
The excuse that had been agreed
upon may have been true, for it was
possible for David to have gone to the
family reunion and religious festivities
and return, a according to his appointment.

David. Saul had forgotten Gods re-
lection. No man can defeat the plans OF
Jehovah. The kings orders for Jona-

worthy to die. tested Jonathan's friend

life was impertled.
Jonathan's loyalty to David did not
make him forget the duty he owed to
his father. who heretofore had been
open and frank with him on all mat
ters. He realized that his father was
not in any frame of mind so that he
could argue with him, SO he passed
over the insults that his fathers merry
speech had hurled upon him, and with
a dignified silence left the kings table
His heart was heavy with grief because
of his fathers unjust treatment OF

 MORE PEOPLE ON LINE

A census of Anchorage taken under auspices of the townsite nMnager, gives the following returns
 Men, 593; women, POS; children 193.
 "We figure that our enumerators got the names of only about 40 per cent of the male inhabitants of the near town" said the manager. "be- cause most of the men are away from their homes in the day time, when the census was taken. Our enumera- tion of the women and children is more nearly correct"
 The total number on the govern ment payroll is 1900, of which about 200 work near enough to the town to live at home, so that the total popu- lation of Anchorage and vicinity is about 2,1O0.

A bear cub which escaped from Fritz Post on the Kenai a year ago was shot the other day. The bear had a collar around it's neck when it es- capped and the remains of the collar, grown into the hide, were found on the dead bear.
 Evidently the cub had become des- perate as it outgrew the collar, for it had torn at 1t until the strong leather had been broken, but not before it had ripped several holes in its hide. The cub had an excellent pelt, except for the holes at the neck
