H& said in part: "I congratulate you upon the mo tire that has prompted yon to assem ble on this occasion, to pay tribute to the memory of your departed dead 8nd trust you may be able to gather inspiration from this service, that will better (It you to Win a victory In life's battles. "the three links which so strongly bind you together In these ties of fel lowshtp, and fraternal brotherhood are forged out of the raw material which makes noble manhood and are worth of your beat endeavors. Turn ing to Qod's sacred word, we find ex amples of. friendship written on many of ittpsgea, and manifest In the life nityr of the sAifats, but among the strongest illustrations of this affec tionate link, the lives of David and Jonathan teach us the most 'nuseful lesson. "Jonathan was the oldest son of Saul, king of Israel, and was the one to whom the scepter "bf power would rightfully fall, when his father should cease to rule as king. Saul by dis obedience had laid himself in open rebellion against God's commands, and had through tf&lllshness and greed, been condemned by the proph et, and told of his short comings. "David, the shepherd lad, while tending to his father's sheep, learned mahy lessons of courage and faith falness, and when asked by his father to.gd down to see hoW his brethren ftred in the army that was pitched •gainst their enemy ^the Philistines, did tot hesitate to go, and upon ar riving at the edge of the camp die cohered the source of their troubles.

"Saul saw the faith of this ladl stamped on the determination of his face and that the conviction was born of a pure motive, and he suggested that David put on his armor and I practice a little while before he an nounce to. the enemy his purpose to meet the giant.

"All the alrmy is drawn up in order I as for battle and the enemy is aware that this is to be a great day in his tory, for if the giant should fall the whole army of the Philistines are to be servants of Israel, but If David falls, the Israelites are to be their servants, and with great eagerness every step of advancement of these I two single combatants are watched. As they approach, the giant is de-l fylng the God of Israel, and calling upon David to know what he has ven tured to come out against him for, and as David climbs up the hill he Is looking for some unprotected spot, un der the shields of the giant where he I may direct his fatal blow. In the hand of the giant Is a mighty sword, and he is wbiting to get close enough to David to strike him to the ground with one stroke. In David's hand Is his accustomed sling, which he has used BO successfully, and in which he has the utmost confidence, and in his heart is a prayer that God wi'l give him steady nerve, and strong age for the great hour is on. David casts the stone and smites I the giant in the forehead, and he falls to the ground, in the presence of both armies, and David rushes up and takes the sword of the giant and brings it back as a trophy of victory. "Scarcely had the news of David's courage and victory been announced, when the women took up the strain of triumph, and sang through the whole land "Saul has slain his thous ands, but David his tens of thousands" with such earnestness that It created flame of jealousy In Saul's heart that time could not heal, and he al lowed it to grow as a canker In his life. Jonathan so admired David for his I boldness to save the nation, at a time of great need, that their hearts were soon knit together in the bond of true friendship, and they learned to know each other, and even suffer for each other. feu 1 ¥\7iC"'y' "f *eK t, "¥f i1 j* Jonathan Helpa David.

Once when Saul would have killed David, Jonathan told David 4o hide behind a rock in a flel dand when he found out his fath er's Intention he would come out with his bow and arrows and shoot in the direction of the rock, and, say to a lad that he should have with him: run make haste to bring me those ar-1 rows,' David would know he must flee for his life, and if he should not urge the lad to make haste he might know there was some chance for David to remain at court. But in the morning the lad was urged to make baste and David knew he must flee, but the* lad was sent back to the city while David and Jonathan wept on each other's shoulder and poured out tears of true affection and friendship, and pledged to) each other their earnest devotion while life did last, and when death did part them their friendship should extended to their children, and chil dren's children. History proves that it did, and gives to you the right to confidently trust each other with the same true friendship.
