PASE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, APRIL 24, FERS The Golden Gift Of Friendship SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1948 REE By NEWMAN CAMPBELL IN THESE troublous times, when the world seethes with suspicion and animosity, and aggression casts its shadow on the future, it is good to contemplate the story of the fine friendship of two Israelitish youths --David and Jonathan. It is a tale of one of the greatest friendships in history of two men -- one a simple shepherd lad; the other the son of the king. Stories such as these remew our faith in mankind and his ultimate redemption, discounting the stories of crime, violence, sadism with which our minds have been satiated in the last decade and our souls sickened. After David had slain the Phil- istine riant, Goliath, with his sling shot, and the enemies of Israel had fled, King Saul took the shepherd boy. hero into his own royal house. hold, where Sauls son, Jonathan, and David became fast friends. Jonathan, to show his friendship, "stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow and girdle." In spite of these honors, David behaved wisely and modestly. One day, however, the Isreaelitish wo- men came out of the cities to greet the king, singing and dancing, but the words they sang did not please the King Saul: "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thou- sands." Saul knew he had once angered the Lord, which made him jealous and suspicious that his throne might be taken away. The Lord, the king realized, was with this shepherd youth who had slain a giant and delivered Israel from her enemies. Therefore, jealousy, born of the wo- men's words, and fear for his throne made Saul hate David and deter- mine to kill him. Saul heaped honors on David, however, while he secretly planned his murder. He made David his son-in:law and when he saw that his daughter, Michal, David's wife, loved him, he hoped she would prove a snare by which to trap Dav- id to his death. She failed him, how- ever. He also spoke to Jonathan and all the servants that he meant to kill him. Jonathan told David to hide in a field and he would come there with his father and talk to him to find out how matters lay. David did so, and when Saul and Jonathan came aE i. to the field Jonathan reasoned with his father, reminding him of how much David had done for them, and he so softened his father's heart that, for the time being the king gave up his evil plot. 3 Not for long was King Saul freed from the evil spirit which prompted him to kill this youth. Ohe day, as David was playing his harp in Saul's presence to exorcise this de- mon within the king, Saul hurled his javelin at David but missed. David fled into hiding. David could not understand why Saul hated him and sought to harm him. Jonathan tried to comfort his friend and promit2d to warn him when he was in danger. Jonathan contrived a way to let David know how Saul felt about him and whe. ther it was safe to continue at court. The king's son would take a boy to a field where David was hiding and shoot three arros ' into the field. He would then send the boy to pick them up. If the arrows fell between David and the boy, the news was good and David would stay; if they went beyond, David should flee. David, hidden; got the message. "The arrows are beyond thee," and fled for his life; but not before Jon- athan and he had pledged eternal friendship. Jonahan risked his father's wrath in his fidelity to David, and suffer- ed as a consequence. The relentless Saul pursued the exiled David from place to place, but never caught him. At last, the Philistines attacked Israel again with a mighty army, and this time there was no David to help his people. In the terrific fighting - Jonathan was killed and Saul sorely wounded. Seeing his men flee from the Phil. istines and knowing the battle was lost, Saul commanded his armor bearer to kill him, but he refused so Saul fell upon his own sword and died. When David heard the dreadful news he tore his clothes and wept, mourning for his friend. "My bro- ther Jonathan, thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of wo- men," cried the stricken man. Down the ages this friendship has been a beautiful legend and an ideal of friendship between two human beings. If the spirit of David and Jonathan should spread through the nations of the earth, that other ideal -- world friendship -- would be realized. Let us pray for it and work toward it. Our Continuing Spending Spree By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Despite all the urgings of econ- omy aad the very evident uncer- tainty of our days there is little evidence of any official determina- tion to tighten our economic belts. The governmental spending spree is still a more or-less accepted fact. Government estimates do indeed suggest an apparent saving, this year over last, of some $132 million or slightly better than 6%. While not very substantial it would, if it could be accepted at its face value, suggest a movement in the right direction. We are, - however, com- paring more or less final figures for 1047-48 with prelimindry figures for 1948-49. We have to remember that the former figures include an item of $198 million for supplementary estimates. As it is hardly likely that "supplementaries" this year will be much less than last year, there is every indication that expenditures will be up rather than down. We have grown somewhat cal- loused to these mounting costs; so much so, that at times we forget that the resources against which we are spending are not inexhaust- ! ible, while worli conditions, that we caa do little to control, are lim- iting sharply our possible sources of income, It is therefore somewhat disturbing to recognize that econ- omies have been made only where such economies were almost inevit- able, and that where this inevit- ability was lacking expeaditures have increased. The sharp declines in costs have been in such items as rehabilitation of veterans, about $50 milliohs; re-establish- ment credits, $15 millions; reduc- MISSED A FORTUNE Alexander Graham Bell tried to persuade Mark Twain to invest $500 in his telephone invention, but the author loaned the money to a friend who went bankrupt three days later.

The Fin- ance Department shows a saving of $29 million, mainly in reduced interest charges, that naturally de- cline as obligations are met. Ex- ternal Affairs costs are down $23 millions. All, it will be seen, are in expenditures that are grouped as uncontrollable. Our enlargements in spending, on the other hand, have been largely in those services and benefits that can be controlled. It is a rather bitter pill, for in- stance, to discover that an increase of better than $10 million is for tax collection. It is rather startling to learn that we contemplate spending less than a million dollars more for immigration while we have extend- ed our. appropriation for Natldwnal Parks by $5 million, and almost $12 million for airways and air services, Sometime, we have to begin to make savings, and it must be a mater of active saving--doing without what we might reasonably want. This is the only way 'of economic safety. WESTMOUNT UNITED CHURCH GIBBONS STREET R, M.

BARCLAY WARREN After the first great war and the framing of the League of Nations, many expressed hopes that wars would cease from the earth. After the second great war even the most optimistic refrain from any such cheerful predictions. But there is a "peace for our time." It is "The Peace of God, whic... passeth all understanding." which "shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7. This peace will help us to "rejoice in the Lord always." Our sweet reason- ableness will be manifest to all men. This peace will help us to have freedom from wciry, and to pray effectively in the spirit of gratitude for past mercies received. It will help us to think upon things whiceh are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report. Instead of being malcontents we will say with Paul, "I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Paul wrote this message from a prison. God's peace in his heart was 50 deep and so real that not only was he inwardly happy but he radi- ated confidence and hope. To his readers he said, "My God shall sup- ply all your need according to his r' hes in glory by Christ Jesus." This is the "peace for our time." "Wars and rumorsof wars' may come but each of us may have the peace of So which passeth all understand. 8.
