THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- The major part of Jona- than's life falls in the latter part of his father's life, which can be sald to be-somewhere between the years 1100 B.C. and 1056 B.C. Place -- Michmash is a deep ra- vine running from the highlands of Benjamin down to Jericho; Gib- eah is, probably, a conspicuous hill six miles n theast of Jerusalem now known as Jeba. J The Jonathan'of our lesson is the eldest son of Saul, king, and is, therefore, a member of the tribe of 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. "Ot 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 te unfit for such a high posi- tion as king over Israel, David is anointed to be Saul's successor, and Goliath, the Philistine giant, is slain by David, who is brought into the presence of Saul as Israel's great deliveref. At this hour Jona- thdn's and David's friendship be- gins. ' It is very interesting to note that in no place in the sacred record is David said to have loved Jon&than. The love is always on Jonathan's side for David. While every one would grant that David certainly did love Jonathan, yet the record 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 will even do it for thee. 5. And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow {is the new moon, and I should not 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 earestly 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 Inquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? 9. And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were deter- 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. If, 'as a consequence of his absence, Saul should speak quiet. ly and:approvingly of him, he then would know that he could safely return to the king's court. But Da. vid 'would never know exactly how Saul 'expressed himself dn -his ab- sence concerning him, unless Jona- than would devise some means of communicating this inofrmation to him, and the following verses un- fold, for us the scheme that Jona- than had for so communicating this information. - The Pian 10. Then-said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly? 11, And Jonathan sald unto "David, field. And they went out both of them into the field. 12. And Jona- than sald unto David, Jeohovah, the God of 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 I not' then send unto thee, and disclose it unto-thee? 13.

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 Walte r 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 of 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 of David every one from the face of the earth. 16. So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of Da- vid, saying, And Jehovah will re- quire it at the hand of Bavid'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 for three days, and then he is to come back and hide near 'the stone Iizel," 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, tind the arrows." If he tells the boy that "the arrows e=e on this side of thee," then David is to know that 'he can return to Saul's court in s-~"oty, but, if he should Stage, Screen and Radio | | Stars At 'blue coal' Cavalcade say to the boy, "Behold, the arrows are beyond thee," then David is to know that he must flee. "The farewell of these two is one of the most exquisite pictures in all of the Old Testament." We come now to the last meeting of these two friends. The circum- stances surrounding this meeting are compactly given in 1 Sam, 23: 14, 16. 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 togethei?

Men Are Stricter On Wearing Veils Dr. Wilfrid D. Hambly, curator of African ethnology at Ield 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 1 HORIZONTAL Answer to Previous Puzzle 20 He is again 1, 10 The head .
