Kindness to Son.—2 Samuel 9: 1-13, July GoLbeN Tex, thy father's friend forsake oot. 27: 10, A little more than twenty years be- fore the time of this narative David was a hunted fugitive, Jealous of his favor with God and with men, and perceiving that he w himself the setting and that David was us the rising star, seamed bent on taking his life, LIt wa Jonathan, Saul's son, at that time that made with him a mn Cov the natural heir to thet that it was the Jonathan, not only Saw of should but, d stineti to that this n David and not f himself, with noble disinterestedness, he But be welfare of his own chil 1 par in it. he could not to the and #0, as they decendants ; what seemed likely to be the last David a pledge for him shalt not kindn¢ also thou he craved from gelf and them. “Thou only ae 4% i while [ live show ¢he Lord, that 1 die not : but shalt not cut off th me v y kindness from my Lord of Dav id every n the house forever : no, not when hath cut off the « one from the face of the earth” 20:14, 15). the time seems nemies 1 i Sam.

David had promised to do agreements, pledges, contracts of any kind should be sacredly kept. Not al ways, however, is this done. Son all to ready to agree to anything another may desire, but are careless with respect to the fulfillment of promises. This is It is at the opposite ie are not even honest, pole from magnanimity., That one may be able to do as he agrees, he should be sautious in making agreements; but having given his word, he should let no inconvenience or pain or cost keep him from making it good. (¢) The object of kindness is sought Jonathan's son, here named, was born after and Jonathan last met and parted. David did not know that Jonathan had ever had such a son, But this did not satisfy him. He made inquiry. Even fairly generous sometimes content themselves with giv. ing aid to those who solicit it. This was not the way of him who came to seek as well as to save ; to seek that he might save. Love goes after the lost sheep. The most worthy sufferers are often modest. They hide their misery It is noble and Christlike to seek them out, (d) The kindness is rendered without any prospect of return. What requital could Jonathan's son make for the good David had it in his heart to do? None, Much of the world’s kindness is carefully bestowed on those who can show the same in return. This is not real kindness, It is selfishness, Social life is full of this. But “If ye salute your brethren only or show kindness only to those who can return it, what do ye more than others?” 2. An unfortunate prince.~The inquiry of David resulted in the discovery of a son of Jonathan who had no doubt been carefully concealed. At the time of the death of Saul and Jonathan he was but a child. His ourse, hearing how the battles in which they were slain had gone, fled with the child in her arms, And in her haste she had either let him fall, or stumbled and fell with him, causing an injury from which he never recovered. He was ever after lame in his feet. For security he was taken be yond the Jordan, and there found a home in the house of Machir, a wealthy man of Gilead. It also appears that the royal estates had become the pro perty of the new King David, or had been taken posession of by relatives. And so, though born a prince, and of the noblest of fathers, he was now both out. David men Jonathan's Thine own friend and Prov, Saul | “1 of ( arrived | er {it | crippled and poor.
