LSamuel 14: 1-46; 18:1-4; 19:1-7; 20:1-42; 23:15-18; 2 Samuel 1:17-27 Printed Text, 1 Samuel 20:4-17 Golden Text â€" "A friend loveth at all times" â€" Proverbs 17:17. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time â€" The major part ot Jona- tban'a life (alls in the latter part of his father's lite, which can be said to be somewhere between the years 1100 B.C. and 1050 B.C. rittce â€" Michmash is a deep ra- vine running from the highlands ot Benjamin down to Jericho; Gib- eah is, probably, a conspicuous hill six miles n theast of Jerusalem now known as Jeba. The Jonathan ot our lesson is the eldest son ot Saul, Israel's first king, and is, therefore, a member ot the tribe at Benjamin. He was regarded in his father's lifetime as heir to the throne. Like Saul, he was a man of great strength and activity. "Of all the stories in the Old Testament, there is none which appeals so quickly to one's sympa- thies as that of Jonathan. , More than twenty years have elapsed since the victory over the Philisitines recorded In chapter 14, during which time Saul proves him- self to be unfit tor such a high posl- tioa as king over Israel, David is anointed to be Saul's successor, and Goliath, the Philistine giant, is slain by David, who is brosght into the presence of Saul as Israel's great deliverer. At this hour Jona- than's and David's friendship be- gins. It is "ery interesting to note that In no place in the sacred record is David said to have loved Jonathan. The love is always on Jonathan's side lor Bavid. While every one â- would grant that David certainly did love Jonathan, yet the record â- would seem to indicate that the more unselfish, the deeper, the more spontaneous love was on the part of Jonathan. 4. Then said Jonathan unto Da- vid, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I â- will even do it for thee. 5. And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow^ is the new moon, and I should net fail to sit with the king at meat; but let me go, that 1 may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. 6. If thy father miss me at all, then say, David did earcstly ask leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 7. if he say thus. It is well; thy servant shall have peace; but if he is wroth, then know that evil is determined by him. 8. Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Je- hovah with thee; but If there be in me iuquity, slay me thyself; for â- why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? 0. And Jonathan said. Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were deter- mined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell thee? David's plan was to go down to Bethlehem to offer a yearly sacri- fice and thus to have a reasonable excuse from being absent from the feast, It, as a consequence of his absence, Saul should speak quiet- ly and approvingly of him, he then â- would know that he could safely return to the king's court. But Da- vid would never know exactly how Saul expressed himself in his ab- sence concerning him, unless Jona- than would devise some means of communicating this iuofrmation to him, and the following verses un- fold tor us the scheme that Jona- than had for so communicating this information. The Plan 10. Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me it perchance thy father answer thee roughly? 11. And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both ot them into the field. 12. .\nd Jona- than said unto David. Jeohovah, the God o( Israel, be witness; when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day. behold, it there be good toward David, shall 1 not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee? 13. Snappy Uniforms For Trans-Canada Airline Crews Here are the snappy uniforms which Trans-Can ada Airways stewardesses and pilots will wear when big Lockheed passengers airplanes' open the aerial route across the Dominion linking east and west by a few hours flying time. Sections of the line are already being flown experimentally. This picture was taken after a TCA airplane had flown from Seattle to Vancouver, and the group shows S. J. Hungerford, president of the line, Lucille Garner first TCA stewardess and Walter Fowler, pilot. Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my fath- er to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 14. And thou Shalt not only while yet I live show me the loving-kindness ot Jehovah, that I die not; 15. but also thou Shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies ot David every one from the face of the earth. 16. So Jonathan made a covenant with the house ot Da- vid, saying, And Jehovah will re- quire it at the hand of David's en- emies. 17. And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. Jonathan now divulges his plan to David. David is to remain away tor three days, and then he is to come back and hide near "the- stone Ezel," the exact location of which we do not konw. Jonathan will shoot three arrows, and say to a lad whom he send after them, "Go, find the arrows." If ha tells the boy that ''the arrows are on this side of thee," then David is to know that he can return to Saul's court in E-'^y, but, if he should Stage, Screen and Radio Stars At 'blue coad' Cavalcade say to the boy, "Behold, the arrows are beyond thee," then David is to know that he must flea. "The farewell of these two is one of the most exquisite pictures in alt of the Old Testament." We come now to the last meeting ot these two friends. The circum- stances surrounding this meeting are compactly given in 1 Sam. 23: 14, 15. How like a perfect friend Jonathan was when, knowing that David must be in a mood of deep repression, he came to him and strengthened his hand in God. And' Jonathan knew that he was to be supplanted; yet he clasped hands with the same loyal, tender love as in the first days, and they parted with their arms around each other's necks and their souls knit together. There is nothing in the records of humanity which comes nearer to the pure, unchanging love of Jesus than this.

Uambly, curator of African ethnology at Field Museum of Natural History, says that among the Tuareg people of the Sahara and Timbuktu, the women, traditionally veiled, are becoming lax about wearing theirs, but the men wear veils and are very strict about never revealing their full faces in public. These people are Mohammed- ans, and it is, therefore, custom- ary for the women to wear veils, Religious Leader Playlets with casts of outstanding professional actors â€" motion pic- tures â€" an actual reproduction ot a famous radio bi^adcast â€" are only a few ot the features ot the latest 'blue coal' sales promotion project, which the D.L.&W.

On the oth- er hand, the men, who even un- der Mohammedanism would not elsewhere be expected to veil themselves, are extremely rigid in adhering to a local custom re- quiring them to cover the lower part of their faces, leaving only the eyes visible. They lift their veils but do not remove them, even while eating.
