Lesson Vl.—Second Quarter, For
May 9, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xx, 32-42.
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. V., mar
gin).
The next incident Is in chapter xlx,
1-7, where Jouuthan pleaded with his
father for David, reminding him that
through David the Lord wrought a
great salvation for all Israel, and so
David was for a time restored to Saul'*
favor, but we saw in last lesson how
worthless and uncertain ft was.
In our lesson chapter we see David
returning from Saruijel (to whom he had
fled) to interview Jonathan and to tell
him that when near Saul he felt that
there was but a step between him and
death and to ask him to find out if he
could Just how his father really felt
toward him, for it would seem as if
David could scarcely believe that Saul
hated him as greatly as these sudden
outbreaks of temper would indicate.
One may give way to temper again and
again and yet really love the person
spoken or acted ngainst. 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<J alone with the Lord and with
prayer/and, as In His sight, they made
a covenant the one with the other and
arranged a plan by which Jonathan
would lind out certainly what his fa
ther's attitude to David really was
(xx, 11-23). When the plan was work
ed out and Saul's anger againnt David
became so manifest that he tried to
kill Jonathan for taking David's part,
then Jonathan knew that It was de
termined of his father to slay David.
So he arose from the table in fierce
anger, for he was grieved for David
(xx, 32-34). Then Jonathan in the
morning went out into the field and
communicated with David by a pre
arranged plan (xx, 18-24 . 35-40).
It was n three days' interval (verse
19), • reminding us of so many three
days' stories, "and it was a morning
farewell that these two friends now
had (verse 35), reminding us by anal
ogy and contrast of so many morning
stories. The statement in verse 39 that
the lad who gathered the arrows knew
not anything of the significance of his
doings nor of the real meaning of Jon
athan's words to him has often come
to me with power, as I have given
His message from His word from time
to time, simply knowing that I was
be faithful to him. but not
knowing anything of what He might
he accomplishing by the message, but
sure always that He knew what He
was doing and that His word will al
ways accomplish His pleasure (John
vl, 0: Isa. iv, 11) . How pathetic the
farewell of these two after the lad had
gone—the kissing, the weeping, the
committing of each other to the Lord,
and Jonathan's "Go In peace" (verses
«i, iz). in tne morning to which we
look forward we shall be "forever with
the Lord" (I Thess. Tv, 17). What a
contrast to this sad parting and all
partings! They met once more, and
Jonathan strengthened David In God.
and they spoke of the kingdom and
renewed their covenant (xxlli. 18-18).
What God does or permits to be done
is often to us a great mystery, but
there is comfort In Ilis words "What
I do thou knowest not now, but thorn
Shalt know hp-oaftor" (John xlli, 7).

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
•Madison Square Garden, indissolubly
associated with the city of New York,
was purchased in 185.". by the Harlem
railroad after the extinction of the
old eastern post road, which ran <1 i
agonally across the block, In 1854 the
railroad company put up sheds for the
handling of the early morning milk
supply and farm products.
Tn ,1863 the train sheds were re
built to house a passenger terminal of
the 'Harlem on Twonty-sixth street and
of the New Haven road on Twenty
seventh street, the trains being broken
up at the present Grand Central and
the separate cars being drawn down by
mules.
The railway ceased to use the build
ing in 1871, and in 1873 it was remod
eled and leased to Barnum for the
congress of nations. Sheridan Shook
and Patrick Gilinore, in joint conduct
of a museum, were the next tenants.
Barnum returned with the circus and
menagerie April 27, 1874. Gilmora
took the place for the next season and
produced the first of his concerts May
29, 1875.
On May 31, 1875, the place was
first designated Madison Square Gar
den. The tearing down of the old build
ing was begun Aug. 7, 18S9. The
present structure was formally opened
