As a moral re- voluter we might be a success but it is very doubtful. We could “go for" a thing in good style, but are afraid we would get left nine times out of ten. We could “show up” Tom Dick or Harry, but they might re- taliate. The contract to reform the morals of the town has not been awarded to the editor of this paper nor have we put in a proposal for it There was a time in our history when we would have tackled the father of evil, but that time has passed by. The silver gray in our auburn locks and the vacant spois on our caput warn us to leave the contract to younger men. When we were a boy we used to fight “bumble bees” very small things indeed, but every time they touched a fellow they left a sting. Now the bees that some of our friends want us in our maturer years to tackle are larger than “bumble bees” of our youth We must decline.

In fact the ad- miration of every reader must be extended to this courageous mag- nanimous Hebrew prince. Not in a single instance did he waiver from the perfect standard of friendship and he looms in history as the com- plete example of all that friend should be to one another. let u survey briefly and without effort 0 be exhaustive how Jonathan regard- ed friendship. First, friendship should be unsel- fish.

Surely, in hia on earth, Jesus Cheist portrayed all the noble qualities of Jonathan in far greater excellence than his, and we have this further consideration that for us his friends, he hag laid down his Jife, and that none who Te- ceive his friendship can ever be sep- arated from his life.
