Sunday School Lesson By REV. W. S. GOLDEN The subject of our next lesson is ■f „ Jonathan. To mention the name of % Jonathan brings up the thought of J friendship, for the friendship that ex isted between David and Jonathan [ standi as one of the most attractive " in all history. * The basic facts to remember in ap preciating the friendship of David and < i Jonathan are these: Jonathan was the 1 son of Saul. Saiil was the king, but f was already doomed ti>, lose the • throne, according to the prophecy ofi ! God through Samuel: If Saul should 1 « lose the throne, Jooathan. would nQ J longer stand as heir toJ,he throne, or ? as a prince of high poatidn. Further | more, the man to whom Saul would * some day lose the throne was, accord ' ing to the prophecy of God through V Samuel, David. As the star of Saul (and Jonathan) should wane, the star of David should rise. There is no f more perfect example of clashing in I terests than this. Everything that was . I , to David’s advantage was to Saul’s % and Jonathan’s disadvantage. Of all > the yodng men in the world to be the \ bosom friend «f David, it would seem { that Jonathan would be the last. How, then, were they such good friends ? ,i Both, of them were young men who appreciated this finer things of life. Both of them admired truth and cour age and beauty. Each of them was able tp appreciate the rare attractive ness of the other. Jonathan was the ' kind Of man that David liked, and *. vice versa. Saul was a melancholy man. His despondency grew deeper as time passed. Perhaps the cause of it was that he brooded upon the prophecy of Samuel that his reign would end in failure. Saul was slipping, and he knew if, and he knew the cause of it (he himself was the cause of it), and •yet he’was not man enough to correct the trouble and do his duty as he knew that duty. There would come days at a time when Saul was so de spondent that he did not care whether he wefe dead or alive. Like a man in a daze, he was unfit for anything. The only thing that seemed to help him in these times was music, played and _ sung by David. Saul loved the music, and hated the musician. One of the-finest poems in the English language is the poem ‘Saul”, by Rob ALONG THE WAY By J. MACK WILLIAMS GAMALIEL BRADFORD No man of our time excelled the late Gamaliel Bradford in the art of writing biography. A semi-invalid most of his life, living in seclusion at. Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, he drew with penetrating insight his portraits of “Saints and Sinners”. 1 Methodically and unceasingly he ? worked on year after year until His * collected works fill a book-shelf near a hundred portraits of the great and the near great. Included in these ex haustive studies of the human soul of special interest to Southerners is Our best portrait of Robert E. Lee. Mr. Bradforcj, although he was a Northerner by birth and tradition yet he had a clearer understanding of Southern ideals than perhaps any author of our time. His portraits will live in American literature many generations because over and beyond all other writers of biography he had in an unusual degree a combination of qualities not often found' in an au thor. He did his Work with accuracy and thoroughness, ' He never drew con ? elusions from guess work or hearsay evidence. Every statement he makes is drawn from authentic source rec ords. He had a sense of proportion. In tlte study of a life he can separate ert Browning, describing in a wonder ful, way the songs of David and their effect upon Saul’s mind. On one Occasion, Saul was suffi ciently aroused from his dazed condi tion to grasp a spear and hurl it at the head of David, whose music he seemed , to love, but whose person he detested. On another occasion, Saul hunted David to kill him. David was hiding in a cave ini the night. Saul came in, and David could have killed him, bpt did not harm him. 'Again, David came upon. Saul in camp, asleep, and could have killed him with a blow, but instead only cut off a scrap of his garment to show afterwards how near he had been, yet unknown to Saul’s guard. Saul pursued and persecuted David for years, thinking perhaps if he could destroy David, he could break up the prophecy of Samuel that David would succeed him., . All this attitude on Saul’s part .was very embarassing to Jonathan, and was considerate of Jonathan’s feel ings. 'Their friendship is very beauti ful indeed when we consider the cir cumstances which surrounded them both. Let us learn these things about friendship: 1. We shall never have a friend whose interests will always coincide with ours. Even the interests of hus bands and wives never completely agree, Therefore, no friendsihp is ever possible without some sacrifice, some unselfishness. 2. Friendship requires that we look for the best in our friend, that “if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, we think on these things.” David might have thought “Jonathan is Saul’s son.” Instead he chose to remember “Jonathan loves Saul, his father, yet Jonathan regrets his fath er’s dislike of me, and Jonathan is a fine, unselfish, courageous man, whom I am glad to have as my friend.” 3. Although there are low planes of life on which our interests may clash, there are higher planes upon which we may all be friends. Two men may be competitors in business, or rivals in politics; yet it is entirely nossible for them both to live on a high plane of Christian manhood, where their interests are the same. “In the kingdom of God there is ample room for every love filled life.” the essential from the non-essential. Despite his profound knowledge of the human heart he is seldom cynical, often tolerant and even charitable. He loved nature with the passion of an* artist. While his study was man, yet he recognised man as part of nature, and often found rest and renewal in the serene contemplation of plant life, forests, groves and streams. He had a wholesome, religious phil ,osophy, having gone far enough into thought to perceive that “our little systems have their day” but more im portant than all these is man’s rela tionship to God. It is to me a source of real sorrow that he will write no more as I count ed him among my personal friends for many years exchanging an occa sional letter with him. However, I have just received a recent letter from Mrs. Bradford in which she states that “a large volume of extracts from his private journal will be published this month and later a selection of his poems, essays and letters.” The world will be richer in having the pri vate thoughts of this great and good man. For in the high art of under standing and portraying the human soul few have been his equal and I know of none who have been his su perior. • - - • SALE OF LAND FOB WILL BE HELD SOON Although the restraining order has caused the sale of land for taxes to be temporarily postponed, the commis held within'thk very near future. . / , i.".*■ • • •• 4' * /' AH delinquent taxpayers will there fore take notice that in order to save themselves the embarrassment of be ing advertised they should settle their back taxes within the next few ;; days.
