OLD FRIENDSHIPS AND THE NEW FRIEND Practical Sunday Evening Address De- livered By Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D.[! D. O1d Friendships and the New Friend | was the title of the practical Sunday | evening address which Rev. Joel B.! Slocum, D, D., pastor of the Sentral | Baptist church delivered this week. Alfred Edward Kearney, pupil of Tra Holland of Sousa’s band, rendered | two cornet solos. Rev. Dr. Slouum in part said: 1 One of the most beautiful of the old | friendships recorded in the old book | is that of David and Jonathan. It | came about in this wa: Saul, the king, saw the young war- | rior David going forth to battle and he was struck with his appearance. Calling_his chief of staff, Abner, he inquired as to the identity of the young man. Abner replied, “I do not.”” “Then find_out” commanded the king. So on David’s return from the slaughter of Goliath—the Philistine champion— Abner brought David, flushed with his remarkable victory, into the presence of Saul. David was still carrying the head of Goliath. And Saul sai “Whose son art thou, Young man And David modestly replied: “I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemit: That was all he said, for in talking with a king you must not presume to talk beyond questions. So David waited. RBut in that room that dav was one who from the first had been devouring D- with e that expressed the ardor of hero wor- ship. It was yvoung Prince Jenathan. He had been listening to the conversa- tion, and with a young man's wonder he had been looking upon the immense, ghastly head that David bore as a | trophy. ~ Then and there the soul of | Jonatitan was knit with the soul of David, for Jonathan loved David as his own spul. And these two made a sacred covenant of friendship—a covenant that was kept as a solemn trust througn the lifetime of Jonathan, though it was tested by many trials. This old friendship whosz story told | in the Bible is like the delicate aroma ! of pressed flowers, plucked in the long ago and imprisoned between the leaves of some familiar volume—this old story of an undving devotion is tvpi- cal of a great many other old friend- ships. O, vouth is the time for making life long friends. 1f you are forty or forty- five or moz» go back to the old spot where you knew some people in other Vvears. Perpaps it is -the school or colleze. 1t is commencement time and | alighting from your train you go by | the familiar paths across the campus and find y urself deluged with old n_the pefsons of Tom and d Ned'and Jim and a lot of bound up with Yo in a deathless friendship and with whom you now greet by the old mick names that nothing cah dislodge. ‘What matters it that these men have risen to places of eminence, they are boys again now; and the old pranks come up in fopd recollection. No mat. ter- how many new friends have met that day, it was the old ones ! owerlogg to express, But 1et me introduce a m whom 1 think you will enjoy. so different from mos you will be drawn to him is that Mysterious charac to in Proverbs:. “There : that sticketh closer than a brothier. Whatever and whoever other friends may be, He is the one altogether love- ly and the chief among. ten thousand. | When you have met Him it scems a though you had known Him for a long time. While you are in His pres- ence you feel that you are inspired to do your best. As you converse with Him you find that He tells you ihe deep things in your own life. The democracy of Jesus imp:essed the people of His time. Without ex clusiveness and with an evident de sire to be of the largest possivle ser vice to all people regardiess of tacir station, He went into the hom:s of the rich and the poor alike. \ hile this must have pleased a great many people of all classes, there were others who made it the occasion of criiicism bitter and relentless whith tacy di- rected against Him, as they snecied at him: “He has gone to be a friend with publicans and sinners.” Later, while He hung on the cross, there were those who mockingly said: “He saved others,” himself He cannot save.” In each of these criticisms there was a grain of truth. It was true tiat iie became a friend of publicans and si ners; but only that He migat help them. ‘It was not true that 2350~ ciated with publicans and sinners be- cause He admired their ideais. the other sneer, it was true that He saved |otheu; buf it was not true tiat He could not save himself. It was simil true that He would not save lilmsel 'hecause He was so eager to wave verybody else.

Ile saved others, himself He couid not save. He went about doing good.” The publicians were deposited as the very offscouring of the earth. And yet Jesus saw in them gomething worth saving. But we must remember that He was champion of the rich as well as of the poor. If He did not do so much for them as He did for tie poor and neglected it was becausc they would not let Him. Then Jesus was a great friccd be- cause He was compassionate. Ile saw veople as sheep having no shepherd. The paly given by class 1917 of ._h; q'\dlt for the capable manner in which | June.
