God has highly honored the Deets

the past year a continuous revival .
He has made Rev. Bresee D. D. ,
who is Founder of the Na.zarene
Church, and General Superintendent
of the Pe-ntecostal Church of the
Nazarene, its President and has given
it. as Vice President, Rev. Isaiah Reid
A. B., who was the organizer, and
for twenty-nine years, the President
of the Iowa Holiness Association, and
who is the author of the well known
"Holiness Bible Readings, " "How
They Grow," "Soul-Help Papers,"
and ''The Holy Way,'' so long owned
and blessed of God, and which is soon
to be translated by the Cowman-Kil-
bourne Holiness Mission of . Japan
' into the Japanese language.
God has also gathered about these
two me_n a Faculty that cannot; we
believe, be excelled in any similar
institution anywhere. Most promi-
:nent among them is Rev . . A. L. Whit-
comb M. S., formerly President of
Greenville College, Ill., but who is
now assocjated with Dr. Bresee in
the pastorate of the First Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene in Los

than which none higher could be .

Other Holiness schools are rever-
ently thankful this year that ' they
have been able to add some well-

"Did she give you a good home?"

"Yes, sir."
''Then why did you leave her?"
' 'Because she made me tell lies. ''
"Tell lies?" said the surprised jus-
tice. How did she make you tell lies?''
''When people called to see her she
' made me tell them she was not at
home, when she was at home,'' replied
the little fellow. That boy was a hero
for the truth; and altho' he was sent
to the juvenile asylum because he had
run away rather than remain in a
mansion and tell' lies, he is sure to
come to the front in God's own time.
A fourteen year old boy secured a
place in a large store. One day his
employer sent him to the basementi to
overhaul and clean up several boxes
filled with scraps, old papers and rub-
bish. . Among the stuff he found a
bright five-dollar gold piece. He .
slipped it into his pocket and continued
his work until the last box was cleaned
up. Then he reported to .. the propri-
etor, when the following conversation
ensued:
"Sir, I have finished cleaning up
the boxes. What shall I do next?' '
"Done already? I thought it would
take you .all the .
"Yes, sir; I am done; but" (taking
, the gold piece from his pocket and
holding it forth) "I found this in one
of the boxes, and I return it to you."
"You did! And why did you not
keep it and say nothing about it?"
"Oh, sir; that would not be honest,
and my mother always taught me to
be truthful and honest.''
He was a boy hero, and his h'eroism
so commended him to his employer
that he was advanced and promoted
from time to time, untii he became
. one of leading members of the firm.
Boys, take notice also that it was ..
David's heroism that caused him to be
sent for by the king. Read 1 Sam. 17:

inflexible rule, namely, courage for
the right brings a boy to the front.

Suggestive Notes and Comments.
STATEMENT.
As in the stor-iny period of the . )ater
.Tudgcs came the beautiful pastoral. of
Ruth, so here as a spring, cool and refresi,J
ing, breaks from dry r oclts and sunburned
earth, comes the beautiful episode . of
David and Jonathan amid the wars and
.conflicts, a and
1
demonpos
scssed king. Like a clear sky after a long
period of storm and cloud, comes the
'' love-anthem' ' brotherhood of Saul's son,
and the coming king. Around this inci
dent one may gather and garland all the
world's best sayings on love and friend
ship. You can find much that will help
you to the wider conception of this les-
son in Hugh Black's ''Friendship,'' Ale:t
ander \Vhyte 's ''Bible Characters,'' and
"The Wand of Jonathan" in Dr. Carra
dine's "Bible Characters." ..
COMMENT.
- J onntnan wasSaul"s son "and was Crown
Prince. On the death of his father the'
throne would have been his. The fact
that he was to.succced his .father, accqrd
ing to common custom, connected with the
expectations of the people, and the fact
that David had been a'nointcd ' by Samuel,
which Jonathan probably knew, would nat
urally ml)kc ''sworn enemies'' as the
world would"'sl)y it, but it does not seem
to have been that way. 1 .
heart clave to David."
Saul-demon-possessed, grew :ti-tore deter
mined to take David's life. He had re
jeeted God, and consequently he put him-
sef in tho place of people who nrc on tho
rejected side of God. He took the way of
envy and jealousy and they in turn make
place for a species of insanity whose sole
aim is to kill David. Like every insane
man he interprets everything he hears or
sees into r easons for fulfilling this desire.
Like every other insane man he seems en
dued with uncommon fertility .of cxpe
dient in devising plans; 'an'd conneCting up
a chain of present .circumstances to ac
.eomplish his purpose. In this lesson he
makes a very plausible plea to Jonathan
.in which the death of David was necessary
to his accession to tlio throne. Poor Jon
athan! He . have 'l;lnturally desired
him, and after him; has not this been as
sume!l the prerogative of kings7 He is .so
beside himself . that he brandishes his spear
menacingly at his ow'n son. Jonathan
leaves the room ''because his father had
hinl shame.'' Perhaps the .world
never can know what the members .of the
famj ly suffer when one of their number
loses mental balance! Poor Jonathan! '' '
''Went out into a field at the time ap.
pointed.' ' Something must be done and
done. at once. Tile loss of life wouid be
the result . of de)ay. Reasonable conceal
when ' necessary has always had -place
m righteousness. . God reveals to babes
what he hides the so-called prudent
and wise. Moses sent out twelve spies.
Rahab hid those Joshua sent out. Every
husband and wife constitute a legitimate
secret order. The meeting and the busi-
ness of Jonathan ' and David milst . both be
concealed from the king and the public.
The plan had been arranged beforehand,
by which they mee t and their secret
not be _known by' _:what was said or done.
Sec verses 18-22. ' 'So only Jonathan and
David knew the mader." This is the se-
creted key to a ll secret societies, namely,
the use of common words and phrases
and common actions, with another mean:
ing-and a n agreed meaning-entirelv dis
tinct from what is commonly understood
by them.
''The Lord be between me and thee, and
between my seed and thy seed forever.''
\'rith these words ended a special confer
ence after the shooting with .the arrows.
In 1!!:1 it is "Jonathan loved David
as h;s own. soul.'' Like mothlj!r love or
'Mve, this perhaps is-' fhe highest
type of purclove. _____ .. ___ --.,--.. - ---

Reade says of Da,id: ''His is the widest

AS TO TEACHING AND RECITING.
1. \Vhy dt> I say, "Teaching and Re
citing' ' 1 Because it takes both to make
a Sunday School class. A class is like a
pair of shears, it .takes both sides to make
the thing go.
2. The teacl.er can easily. find out what
the class is prepared to r eceive by ealling
for points of character in David and Jon-
athan. brought out in this lesson.
3. Or take up the tragedy envy, j eal
onsy and anger led Saul into. (a) Anger
has a beginning. (b) It grows by what
it feeds on. (c) When it l1as _had concep-
tion in envious, jealous, and evil thoughts
it brings forth an act of sin.
Some points as to Friendship. .. (a) How
is the self-sael'ificing spirit manifest in
