THE "BILLY" SUNDAY BIBLE CLASS
CENTRAL TRUTH OF TOMORROW'S LESSON.
(March St, 1315 International Scries I Samuel It: 1-18.)
HEROISM
By GEORGE G. DOWEY.
Jonathan, the son of Kino Saul, U the hero of this lesson, in which wc
have the story of one of the most courageous and daring exploits of soldier
life. Saul, who in our last lesson manifested such kingly Qualities, and,
i.
glorify his Uod. With this motive and with an unxcaverlna faith in God,
he faced an army alone, and icon.
History records military exploits and deeds of valor toithoiit -number,
but the world's heroes are not all of the past, nor do all their names find
place on printed page. The young saleswoman supporting herself and invalid
mother on a weekly pittance; the aspiring but handicapped youth struggling
for an education; the wtdoived mother fighting away the wolf from tho door
by hard labor till her children be grown, and many vthcr Just plain, common
folk, engaged in daily struggles that call for real heroism, but whose deeds aro
unsung, except, perhaps, by the angels. Jonathan is an example of faith and
courage and is a source of inspiration to every trua soul who, against great
odds, is engaged in the struggle of life.

Think of the labor In
volved In tho preparation
of "copy" In which every
proper name had to bo di

no edition of the Bible was

every one that the pro

and that no liberties had
