Thut the book of Jonah !■ histori-
cal we believe for the following rea-
sons : First, its record and use In
the Scriptures. That the writers. of
the Bible Intended the impression of
Its historicity is without the shadow
of a doubt. The suggestion that it Is
a pafuble is absolutely gratuitous.
Second, the unbroken testimony of
tradition among the^Jews is that it is
historic. Third, the testimony of Jesus
Christ (Matt. 12:39-41). The words of
Jesus Christ are final.
I. Jonah's Second Commission
(vv. 1, 2).
When called*the first time to go to
Nineveh, he found the t^sk too great
for him. For Ids -unfaithfulness, he
was chastised, lie repented and God
restored -his commission. The Lord
said to him, “Breach the preaching
that I bid thee", (v. 2). God knows
how he wants His work done. Happy
Is* tlie missionary, minister, Sunday-
school teacher, who preaches God's
Word just as' He gave it.
II. Jonah’s Preaching (vv. 3, 4).
1. IBs field (v. 3). “Nineveh wa*s an
exceeding great city." Nflt only was
the city large, but its Inhabitants were
noted for Hheir cruelty.
. 2. His message (v. 4). “Yet tqfXy
days and Nineveh shlill be overthrown.”
This means that forty days were given
by God for repentance ere the judg-
ment would fall. God is long-suffer-,
lng, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should repent (II Pet. 3:9).
Though He Is mercififl, yet there Is
a limitation to It. He says, "Yet forty
days.” ' ,
III. The Repentance of Nineveh (vv.
6-40).
1. They believed God (v. 5). They
" haileved that God was speaking to
them through the prophet about their
sins and impending Judgment. o
2. They proclaimed* a fast (vv. 5-8).
The king and people Joined sincerely
* In tills movement. The call was for
them to turn away from their sins.
Their penitence was genuine, for they
not merely put on sackelaih. the vis-
ible sign of mourning, but they cried
to God (v. 8). .
3. They reasoned that God would
repent (v. 9). Though they had no
assurance that God would have mercy,
yet they reasoned that the sending ofe
a prophet and the giving of a time
before the fall of doom Implied that
God would lie merciful If they repent-
• ed. They were wise In so doing. We
today know that God will have mercy
If we repent (Acts 3:19). What ut(
ter folly to go on In sin In the face
of the assurance that God will Judge.
5. God’s mercy shown (v. 10).
"God saw their works that they turned
from their evil way.” God’s eye is
omniscient. Wherever there Is a soul
who Is turning from sin in penitence,
He sees. No one has ever wept over
sin unnoticed by God. God rejoices
when a ’sinner repents (Luke 15:10).
In the Boofc of Jonah we have por-
trayed the typical history of Israel:
“1. Jonah was called to a world
mission, afld so was Israel. (2) Jonah
’ at ‘first refused compliance with the
divine purpose and plan, and so did
Israel. (3) Jonah was punished by
being east Into the sen, and so was
Israel by being dispersed among the
nations. (4) Jonah was not lost, but
rather especially preserved during this
purt of Ids experience, and Israel Is
not being assimilated by the nations,
but being kept for God. (5) Jonah,
repentant and east out by the fish, Is
restored to life and action again, and
Israel, repentant and cast out by the
nations, shall he restored to her former
national position. (0) Jonah, obedient,
goes upon his mission to Nineveh, and
Israel obedient, shall ultimately en-
gage In her original mission to the
world. (7) Jonah Is successful In that
Ids message Is acted upon to the
snlvatlon of Nineveh, so Israel shall
be blessed In that she shall be used
to the conversion of the whole world.'
—Dr. Gray's Commentary.

Members of the Greek Church Have
Reasons to Look Upon It With
• Misgivings.
* * -
To most persons of western tradi-
tion Friday is more or less considered
to he an unlucky day. Many of them
pVefer not to say this straight out,
but they are a hit wary of starting
any large enterprise on a Friday. The
iden may come from the fact thut for
so many people Friday is bald as a
fast day and great interest in purely
secular pursuits should he held some-
what in abeyance. The old Norse peas-
antry give a different explanation.
' “To begin a big tiling on a Friday
leads to a great temptation to break
the Sabbath,” Is the way one old grand-
mother imts it.
To most members of .the Greek
church ii is not Friday, hut Tuesday
that is the most unlucky day. The
reason is clearcut and historical, for
it was on this, day that—a Tuesday, In
1453-s-Constantinople was lost ,to the
eastern empire and passed under the
control of the Turks.

Ranks as One of the World’s Greatest,
Though It Was Long Compara-
tively Unknown.
The Yukon is one of the grent rivers
of the world. It is more than 2,300
miles long and is both the longest and
I lie largest river flowing into Pacific
w aters In the western hemisphere, sur-
passing by a considerable margin its
nearest competitors, the Columbia and
the Colorado. Among all the rivers
of North America the Yukon is sur-
passed In length only by the Missis-
sippi system and the Mackenzie. It
Is longer than‘the St. Lawrence, as
well as all the other fivers except the
Mississippi system which flows into
the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic.
The Existence of such a large river
as the Yukon* in the Far North was
long unsuspected. A Russian lieu-
tenant, Zagoskin, entered its mouth
by boat in 1842 and’ traversed it for
several hundred miles. The Hudsons
Bay company had discovered its head-
waters in
of information were not pieced to-
gether. The existence of the river
as a stream of great* magnitude and
length first .became* really known
through the daring and romantic proj-
ect of installing land telegraph wires
between America and Europe across
Alaska, Behring strait and the wastes
of Silieria. Robert Kennicott, fn con-
nection with this enterprise blnzed
the Yukon trail by descending the
river in 1865. The first trading
steamer nschnded the stream in 1809.
The Yukon really came into its own
with the discovery of gold in the
Klondike in 1890.—Bulletin of Na-
tional Geographical fjociety.

To Geoffrey Chaucer, "well of Eng-

not gold that glitters,” "Out of sight,
out of mind,” “Man proposes and God
disposes.”
