Memory Verse, 42—Golden Text, Prov. xvii, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D- M. Stearns. Our lesson topic today is "The Friendship of David and Jonathan." but the lesson verses give only one in cident out of many. As our next les son will be in chapter xxvi, we will consider the David and Jonathan in cidents in chapters xviii to xxili. In chapter xlv the iiame of Jonathan is mentioned twenty-four times, and in chapter xx it is found twenty-seven times. His name may mean the gift of Jehovah, and he surely was such to David, a real friend and comforter, making us think of Paul's words con cerning some of his helpers. "Fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me" (Col. iv, 11). In our first introduction to Jonathan (chapters xlii and xlv), In which we find his name just twenty eight times, we see him as a brave sol dier, relying upon Jehovah to fight for him and with him(xiv,6, 7). The next mention of him Is after David's defeat of Goliath, when we read that his soul was knit with the soul of David, for he loved him as his own soul. He stripped himself of his garments and armor and put them upon David (chap ter xviii, 1-4; see also xx, 17; II Sam. 1, 26). They were truly kindred spir its, both strong in the Lord. We can not but think of Him who emptied Himself for us. laid aside all His glory, that He might redeem us, clothe us with His righteousness and share with us His Kingdom. We think also of the disciple whom Jesus loved, who leaned upon his bosom, but we remem ber what is written in John xlii, 1, of all true disciples. "He loved them unto the end, to the uttermost" (R.

How beauti ful was Jonathan's reply to David, "Whatsoever thy soul desireth I will even do it for thee" (xx, 4), or as in the margin. "Say what is thy mind, what thy soul speaiteth or tblnketh, and I will do it." What a friend to have and yet listen to 111 m who calls lis friends, "If ye 3hall ask anything In My name I will do It" (John xv, 15; xlv, 14). Jonathan seems not o have believed up to this time that his father meant any real harm to David, prob ably attributing all to his fearful tem per, for he said. "It I knew certainly that evil were determined by my fa ther to come upon thee would not I tell It thee?" (xx, 9.) They went out into the flel
