I The Nobility of, True Friendship Sermon .. preached' by Rev. Geo. W. Eielk to the Knights of A sermon preached last Sunday night to the Knights of Pythians, and. pub lished by request of the Pythirms: : REV. G. W. BELil. 1 Sam. 18:1 -"And it came to pass when he had made an end of .speak ing unto Saul, that the soul of Jo nathan was knit toritb the soul of David, and he loved him as his own As we open this chapter, there stands beiore our fancy a young man, clad in the simple garb of a shepherd, and holding the head of a giant in his hand. ' ' ' To the inquiry of the King he makes this gentle answer: I am the son "of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite." His strong poetic eye flashes the light of triumph; - and his handsome face glows with the warmth of the re mit conflict. His countenance is fair and ruddy, and about his lips still tarry the traces of innocent childhood. His form is graceful, athletic, mus cular, of medium hight, and as straight as an arrow. Young and strong and modest, with a gravity of person, and a dignity- of bearing scarcely consistent with his youthful face. But young as he is, he stands there a victor and a hero. A little While ago he came from the pasture-fields, an unknown youth; with the bag and sling of a shepherd. Now he stands before us covered with martial glory, and a fame that will live forever among "the immortal few," and holding the head of the mighty Goliath in his hand. Among those who stood by, and be held the young victor," was Jonathan, the son of King Saul. - These indeed were kindred spirits, for Jonathan was himself a hero. He had taken his life in-his hand, and at tended by his armor-bearer only, had rushed upon the garrison of the Phil- liftines; struck down twenty men, hand to hand, and put the whole army to flight. Strong, fearless, heroic. As these two young men stood there face to face, there ' sprung up between them a friendship, strong and fervent and lasting as life itself. "And it came to pass when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." This was the beginning of a friend ship which, on account of attending circumstance's, still shines with uhdi minished splendor across the receding centuries. I. FRIENDSHIP DEFINED., Webster defines a friend as "One who, entertaining for another sent! "ments of esteem, respect and affection, from Dersonal prediction, seeks his society andXwjslfare." , , The Century Dictionary defines Friendship as "The feeling that moves persons, to seek each other's society, or promote each other s welfare. A true friend is a priceless treasure, One iu whom we can confide with per fect confidence, and trust with absolute tranquility. One to whom we can unfold our pri vate plans, and communicate our secret purposes. One whose devotion and affection are not dependent upon the frowns of fa vors of a fickle Fortune. Conscious of the real value and true worth of tried and trusted friendship Polonus gives this sage counsel to his son Laertes: "The friends thou hast, and their adop tion tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel." Friendship is a flower indigeuous to every country, and flourishing in every clime. It is often exceedingly rich and fra grant, and sometimes bears the most delicious fruit. . - ' r - "" But many, many times, it is only a flower! . . . It's varieties are almost endless, em bracing every pleasing fashion and at tractive tint, and often filling the gar dens of the soul with Heavenly redo lence. Dreary indeed and desolate must be that human heart along whose .barren borders bloom no flowers of friendship. But was there ever on this earth a man so poor and mean that he did not have a friend? And was there ever a human so des stitute of sympathy that it did not re spond to friendship's fellow" feeling? True, "All that glistens is not gold,", and mueh of the" so-called Friendship of this world is "Fast won' 'and Fast' lOSt." " - ' "We have many friends of summer ; Who are friends while flowers bloom; But in cold and bleak December Desert when hours of danger come." II. EXAMPLE OF TRUE FRIEND- ' '( SHIP. -: --- ' There is something In true and genu ine friendship that is almost Divine. ' The beautiful Ruth, leaving her na tive land, toiling in the home, gleaning in the field, and braving the hardships of poverty and widow-hood in a land of strangers, rather than forsake Naomi. Homer, in his Epic, tells as how the death of his beloved friend plunged the brave Achilles into the depths of unspeakable anguish. And rising in his wrath, he put the Trojans to flight, struck down . the god-like Hector, chained him to his chariot, and drag-' ged his body three times around, the wails nf Trnv. because he slew his friend Patroclus. ; ; ;- ' ': . We are told that Lord Brooks was so proud of his friendship with Sir Philip Sidney, that he selected .these words for his Epitaph: ' - : .' . "Here lies Sir Philip Sidney's Friend. Charles Spureeon has .-'There can be no lasting friendship between bad men." : AT4eclares that:- Friendship seared by companion ship in sin will not last long; It is not -worth the having. It deserves not to be knOwn by that.hoble: name; Friends that are only glued together by the sUine of their lust, will be torn asun der soqn." ,, . .: ; There-is - an -old English Proverb which gives this counsel: J. "Before you make a friend, eat a peck of salt with him.: The heathen world was . well-nigh scuutea of true FriendshiD. Its .caeaeries forced from the lips of Soc-'-tcs: "There isnd friend." Yet out of the eloom the Pagan World there is a star of the first magnitude. The friendship of Damon nnrl Pv thius shined in beauty and splendor through the mists and shades . of cen turies. Damon was doomed to die upon a certain day. He longed to see his-wife and children arid set his house in order, TTq Wnnir. 4.1. T": i j. , . uvjuuaui nit; ivms io Kraut mm this single request. At length Dionysius. who hart nn faith in' human friendship, concluded to grant his request upon what seemed to be impossible conditions. Said the tyrant: "If you will find some one who is willing to wear your chains, and ready to die in your stead, in case you fail to return, then I will grant you permission to visit your home and family." Pythias heard of the .offer, and cheer- fully consented to take the place of his mend in the prison. All Syracuse was startled at this evi dence of ftrue Friendship. lime rolled on, and nearer and nearer came the fatal day. Fearing the consequences, the Tyrant visited him in the prison, and tried, to convince him of the tolly of his faith in Damon. His friends won over the keeper, and tried to enduce him to make his escape. But no. His word of promise and his faith -in D.amori were as immovable as the prison walls. At last and by the King's permission, the fairest maiden in all Syracuse, the beautiful Calanthe, who was soon to be his bride., entered the nrison. in all the wealth and loveliness of noble woman hood, and throwing herself at his feet, besought him to break his promise and fly with her beyond the sea. But he had given his word of honor, and that to him, was more binding than; the Tyrant's chains; True, : he loved as his own. sweet life the beau tiful angel that wept and pleaded at his feet. But Friendship and Honor were dearer to him than life. And what comfort or compensation could all the wealth of a woman's love bring to the man who failed to keep promise. They pleaded his own innocence. They pictured before him the perfidy of Damon. But all to no effect. Nothing could move him to break his word, -s. Nothing could shake his faith in the promise of his friend. - Now came the fatal day; but no Damon! -V Dionysius, seated upon a moving throne drawn by six white horses, was conveyed to the place of execution. At the appointed moment, with firm and steady step, Pythias ascends the scaffold. And turning to the multitude of beholders who had gathered to wit ness the strange scene, he spoke in a voice calm and ' dignified : ','My prayers have "been heard. The gods are pro pitious, for the winds have been con trary until yesterday. Damon could not come. He could not conquer impossibil ities. He will be here tomorrow. And the blood which is shed today will ran som the life of my friend. Oh! could I but erase from your bos oms every mean suspicion of the'honor of Damon, I should go to my death as Iwould to my marriage. My friend, will be found noble. His' truth unimpeach able. He will speedily prove it. He is now on his way, accusing himself, the winds and the gods. But I hasten to prevent his speech." Then turning to the officer, he said: "Executioner, do your duty.". f ' .As he closed his speech, a great si lence fell upon the spectators. Just then a voice was heard in the distance: Stop the execution." The cry was caught lip and repeated by the multi tude A moment more, and a man, riding at full speed, came dashing into the rushed to the scaffold and f IaSf Pythias in his great strong arms, cried out: "You are safe, my beloved friend. I have nothing now but death to suffer, and am delivered from the reproaches of having endangered a life so much dearer to me than my own. Pythius looked pained and disap pointed, and remonstrated with Damon for lu "fatal haste,' 'and added: "'But since; i cannot ate to save you, i win die with s'ou.'' f v The multitude-stood amazed.' King Dionysius as he heard these things and saw them, was moved to tears, at the sight of such trud and loyal friend ship, And dismounting from his throne, he ascendede the . scaffold exclaiming: "Live, live, -ye incomparable pair, i Ye have borne unduestionable testimony to- the existence of : virtue, and:, such virtue equally : proves that existence of a God to reward It. Uve happy live re- warded," and. the King closed, by-ask- ing, to i be numbered. with them, and that he too, might be counted worthy of such Friendship. av ,i- Pollok, in his "Course, of Time," gives ; us these exquisite lines on Friendship: , ' "Much beautiful and excellent and fair Was seen beneath the sun: but naught was seen More beautiful or excellent or, fair Than face of faithful friend, rairest wnen seen In darkest day. And many sounds were sweet, - ', , , Most ravisning ana pieasaut iu . iup ear; i,- . . , -4.1. i But sweeter none tnan vuice uj. laiuiim friend. ' Sweet always, sweetest heard in 'loud est storm." III. THE FRIENDSHIP OF THAN AND DAVID.' JONA- As we studv the history of this re markable friendship, we are impressed ?fc with the unequal standing or tne two young men Jonathan was a prince David was a peasant. Jonathan lived in a palace. " " ' David lived In the pasture. . " Jonathan was a leader-of men. David was a leader of sheep; On the part of David there was everything to gain, and nothing to lose by this friendship'.. On the part of ' Jonathan- there was everything to lose,, and. nothing to be ;ained. ... And yet, this princely man, this royal hero, pref erre4 , to lay as.ide his birth- ngnt .claims to the Throne of Israel, rather than break his friendship with David the son of Jesse! ";" 1. IT WAS SPONTANEOUS. There was no consideration, coercion or constraint. It was the free, spontaneous knitting of two kindred souls. Not something formed that some thing might be gained. There, was not even a demand for re ciprocity. As natural as the metal to the mag- net, as constant as the needles to the pole;- as true as gravitation . to, the 1 i. 1 1. A c- simer;; so nami cii, u tuuoutui auu ou true are the spontaneous forces that bind such kindred souls to each other. Friendship, like love,- cannot " be forced or driven To be true and trustworthy, it must be free from all restraint. It may be courted ' and cultivated; but it cannot be compelled. Some natures attracts Others repel, and seemingly without any conscious effort. The unknown author of this little stanza, doubtless voiced the true feeling and: sentiment or nis soui: "I do not like thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why I cannot tell. But this I know and know full well, I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.' On the other hand the soul of Jona than was knit with the soul of David by the national law v of . spontaenous attraction. Kindred spirits seem to have eyes that look at once into the very depths of each other's souls. ' And true Friendship can be found and maintained only between true men 2. IT WAS UNSELFISH. The significance of this statement will appear when the facts in the case are taken into consideration. First, let us bear in mind that Jona than was the son of King Saul. By the law of primogeniture, .he was heir to the throne and kingdom of his father. All these things were well known and familiar to young prince. Second, his father was jealous of David, because the people praised him on every hand. -- When the women of Israel came out to meet them on their return from the battle, answering each other in their dances, saying: "Saul hath slain his thousands; but David his tens of thou sands.' 'We are told that Saul was very angry, and said: "They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me but thousands, and what can he have more but the kingdom. And Saul eyed David from that day forward." Several times he tried to kill him. And when Jonathan took David!s post, and interceded for him, Saul threw his javelin at him. He could not under stand how Jonathan could befriend the only man that stood between him and the throne, . r, . - Third, David had his eye- on the kingdom, and was only abiding his time. Samuel had annointed him to be King in the room and stead of Saul. All this was well known both to Saul and Jonathan. Samuel had plainly told Saul that his kingdom would be taken from him. Again when Samuel reproved Saul for his disobedience, and turned to leave hinv. Saul : caught hold of his mantle and tore it. And Samuel said unto him: "The Lord hath rent the kingdom from thee this day, and hath given to a neighbor of thine that is better than thou." All these things were known . to David, and they rankled in the mind of Saul. But none, of these things moved or stirred the jealousy of Jonathan. Certainly he knew all about it. For when David was a. fugitive in the wil derness Of Ziff, Jonathan made him a visit 1. Sam. 23 : 16 "And Jonathan, Saul's son," arose and went to David, ?o the wood and rtened Wb Pai- Tint fnr tha Vinnri nf fimil ' tyiv father shall not find thee. And thu shalt be King over Israel, and I shall be next unto -thee, and that also Saul, my father knoweth." All this, and not a single trace of jealousy, or envy, or selfishness! This was friendship indeed; 3. IT WAS ENDURING. From the day that David stood before Saul, holding in his hand the head of the' Philistine champion, the friendship of Jonathan and David had grown stronger. Indeed they were true men and capable of firm and' abiding friendship. ' The jealousy of Saul, his fear, his wrath, his envy, none of these things, nor all of them combined, through all the intervening years, could make or stir the green-eyed monster in the noble, manly , heart of Jonathan J ; How it stirs our better-nature to be- hold Friendship like that. Spontaneous, unselfish, enduring and almost divine. Perhaps some selfish soul might be tempted to say "David will be glad to hear of the death Of Saul, his deadly enemy, and of Jonathan -his possible rival But no. His grief was real and in- tense. And in -his sorrow, he poured forth a threnody that has touched and tendered the hearts of millions: "'The beant:of Israel is slain upon te hig place , - CONCLUSION. j And now in closing, let me' call your attention to the purest Friendship; and the truest Friend this world has ever beheld. v A Friend more devoted than Ruth, mor,e loyal than Pythias, more affec tionate than Jonathan. i That Friend that sticketh closer than a father. ' i Jesus, the sinner's Friend. Jesus, the world's Redeemer. Would you., have Him be your Friend? Will you be His?
