FRIENDSHIP OF BAVID AND JON
HAN,
ft
There is perhaps no narrative in al’
history er literature which so. perfect:
illustrates the conditions of friend:
ip as this which is before us. Jon-
athan was every inch a man; affection-
ate, sweet and tender, deeply pious
‘withal doyal ‘to both duty ‘and
friends. “His rights; as tHe king's son,
‘hegladly set aside for David, whom he’
“loved as his owne® soul” (ch, 18:3;
20:17). Jonathan is a great type of
the surrendered life (ch. 23:17).
I. David’s Danger, vv. 32-35. Three
times in the previous chapter (vv. 5,
14, 30) we Tread that David “behaved
himself wisely.” “Saul eyed David”
(v. 18) and his jealous anger grew ag
‘he gave vent to his hate. Jonathan’s
desires for David drew the anger of
Saul (20:30), but it only put him more
upon his guard and made him more de-
termined, if possible, to save both
vid'and Saul.
Following David's escape (18:18) he
consulted Jonathan regarding His
They renewed their
covenant and ‘swore fealty to each
other and to those of. their house-
holds (vv. 11-17). It is a standing re
buke that Christians treat so lightly
their covenants with the church and
with the world. David was safe at
Naioth (19:18-24), for each company
sent after him, and Saul himself, were
hindered by the Spirit of Jehavah from

One of your agents on a visit to MR. HENRY FORD
broached the subject of a possible August 1st. REBATE.
“Mr. Ford,” he suggested, “is there anything we can
say to our people with regard to the FORD MOTOR
COMPANY'S 800,000 CAR REBATE PLAN?”
“We shall sell the 300,000” was the quiet reply,
“and in eleven ‘months, a full month ahead of August 1;
then, barring the unexpected, a refund is ASSURED.’
Factory and branches are sending out 1800 daily. I
then said to Mr. Ford—*If I could make definite refund
statements we would increase our local sales 500 cars.
“Yes,” was the response, “you may say that we shall pay
back to each purchaser of a Ford car between August
1st., 1914 and August 1st. 1915, barring the unforseen,
the sum of $50.00. You may say that I authorize you to
make this statement.”
