At one time Jonathan was un | and David was down, Now David is up and | Jonathan's family is down. As you bave | often heard of two soldiers before going into | battle making a covenant that if one is shot | the survivor will take charge of the bo ty, | the wateh, the momentos and perhaps of the | bereft family of the one that dies, so David and Jooathan had made a covenant, and | now that Jonathan is dead David is {inquiring about his family, that he may show kind. ness unto them for their father Jonathan's sake, Careful search is me than by the exeoadingly homely name of Mephivosheth is founda, His nurse, in hisin. fancy, had let him fall, nnd the fall had nut both his anklas out of pli «. and they had never been set, This decrepit, noor man is brought into the palace of King David, David gazes unon him with malting tender oubt seeing in his face a resome- blance 8 old fri Jonn- David . the de verry am | than, “How im King zia How vou remind friend an 1 Your and & son of Jona. nes an u, Mephibosheth nr inther, mv « [ made » YORrS ALO, What AN resol irzain wit grad « hall be seat it was partis iAM« In grace apd tor, and we will eve! tha wr midlife vo wr in past 5 Vest incre vo kb the time and cheated, i HRvVe © to the o Insion in all that man Ou CAND say “There deositini, ahov iy wicked,” What lieved befors, now vou ! sheth is lame f ave be believe that Mephibe on both | Again, Mephibosheth in the text stands for the disabled human sou. humbled and re. | etored. When this invalid of my test got a command to coms to King David's palace he | of Mephibosheth had treated David most shocking!y, and now Mephibosheth says to | himself: “What does the king want of me? : Isn't it enough that I am lame? Is ho going | to destroy my iife? Is he going to wreak on | me the vengeanes which he holds toward my | grandfather, Saul? It's too bad.” But go to the palace Mephibosneth must, sines the | king has commanded it, With staff and i erutches and heiped by his friends, ses Mephibosheth going up the stairs of | the palace. I hear bis staff and crutehes rattling on the {ezwsliated floor of the tharoneroom. No sooner have these two persons confronfed each other—Mephib. osheth and David, the king-—than Mep- hibosheth throws himself flat on his face bee fore the king and styles himself a dead dog. In the east when a man styles himself a dog be utters the utmost term of seif-abaegation, Itis nota term ao strong in this country, where, ifn dog has a fair chanee, he some. times shows more nobility of character than some human specimens that we wot of, but the mangy curs of the oriental eities, ns [ know by my own observation, are utterly detestable. Mephibosheth gives the utmost | term of seif-loathing when he compares him- self 10 a dog. and dead at that, Consider the analogy. When the com- mand is given from the palace of heaven to the human soul to eome, the soul begins to tremble. It says: “What is God going to do with ms now? Is He golag to destroy me? Is Ha golag to wreek His vengeance upon me?" There is more than one Mephibostieth trembling now because God has summoned him to the palace of divine grace, What are you trembling about? God has no pleasure in the death of a sinuer, He does pot send for you to hurt you. He sends for you todo ou good, A Beotoh preacher had the fol wing circumstances brought under his ob- servation: There was a poor woman in the parish who was about to be turned out be. enuse she conld not pay her rent, One night she heard a lond knooking at the door, and ghee made po nuswer and hid herself, The rapping gontinued louder, louder, louder, but she made no answer and continued to hide herself.
