that discovery and make the new world
an intelligent world.
The United States was getting too
large to be managed by one govern
ment, and topography was invented to
compress within an hour the whole con-
tinent. Armies in the civil war were to
be fitted out with clothing, and the sew
ing machine invention came out to
make 1T possible. Immense farming
acreage is presented in this country,
enough to support millions of our native
born and millions of foreigners, but the
DID style pillow, and scythe, and reaper,
and thresher can not do tho work, and
there came steam plows. steam harrows,
, steam reapers, steam rakes, steam
threshers, and the work is accom-
plished.
SO all events are woven together, ana
the world Is magnificently governed.
We criticise things and think the di-
vine machinery is going wrong, and put
our fingers and the wheels only to get
them crushed. But. | say, hands
off! Things are coming out glori-
ously. Cornelius may DO in C;esarea,
n Peter in Joppa, but their
dreams meet. 1t is one hand that

hand, and II mind that is planning all
things for good. and that is Gods mind;
and one heart that is filed with love
and pardon, and sympathy, and that is
Gods heart. Have faith in Him.
Standing here in Joppa | remember
that where we this morning d~isembarked
the prophet Jonah embarked. For the
first time in my life l fully understand
that story. God told Jonah to go to
Nineveh, but the prophet declined that
call n came here to Joppa. / was for
weeks while in the Holy Land consulting
with tourist companies as to how l
could take Nineveh in my journey.
They did not encourage the undertake
ing. 1t is a most tedious ride to Nine
web and q desert. Now | see an addi-
tional reason why Jonah did not wan
to go to Uneven. He not only revolted
because of the disagreeable message he
was called to deliver at Nineveh,
but because it was a long way and
tough and bandit infested. so he came
here to Joppa Inc took ship. But, alas,
for the disastrous voyage! He paid his
full fare for the whole voyage, but the
ship company did not fill their part of
the contract. To this day they have
not paid back that passage money. Why
people should doubt the story OF Jonah
and the whale is moro Of a mystery than
the Bible event itself. + do not heed
the fact that Pliny, the historian, re-
cords that the skeleton of a whale forty
feet long and with hide a foot and a half
thick was brought from Joppa to Rome.
The event recorded in the book of
Jonah has occur red a thousand times.
The Lord always has a whale outside
the harbor for a man who starts in the
wrong direction. Recreant JONAH lido
not wonder that even the whale was
sick of him. This prophet was put In
the Bible, not as an example,, but as q
warning, because the world not only
needs lighthouses but buoys to show
where the rocks are. The Bible story of
him ends by showing the prophet in a
At of the sulks. He was mad because
Ninevah was not destroyed, and then hi
went out to pout, and sat under q big
leaf. using it for shade from the tropical
sun and when a worm disturbed that
leaf, and it withered and the sun smote
Jonah, he flew into q great g said:
at is better for me to die than to live"
A prophet in q rage because he had lost
his umbrella! Beware OF petulance!
But standing on this Joppa house-top,
1 look off on the Mediterranean, and
what is that strange sight 1 see? The
waters are black, seemingly for miles.
There seems to be a great multitude of
logs fastened together. O.. yes. 1t is q
great raft of timber. They are cedars
from Lebanon which King Hiram is
furnishing King Solomon in exchange
for 20, 900 measures of wheat, 20, 600
baths of oil and 90, 900 baths of wine.
These cedars nave been cut down and
trimmed in the mountains of Lebanon
by the 20, 900 m engaged there, and
with great withes and iron bolts are
fastened together, and they are floating
down to Joppa to be taken across the
land for Solomon's temple now building
at Jerusalem, for we have lost our hold
Of the nineteenth century and are clear
back in the ages. The RATS of cedar
are guided into what is SCALED the Moon
pool, an old harbor south OF Joppa, now
filled with sand, and useless.
And these rough cedars shall become
carved pillars and beautiful affairs and
rounded bannisters and traceried panels
and sublime ceilings and exquisite harps
and singly chariots.
Our Christian ancestry toiled at it
amid sweat and tears, and hundreds Of
generations of the good and the long
train Of Christian workers still moves
on, and, as in the construction of Solo
mons temple, some hewed with the axe
In the far away Lebanon, and some drove
a wedge, and some twisted a withe, and
some trod the wet and slippery RATS on
the sea, and some yoked the OK, and some
pulled at the load, and some showed the
plane, and some fitted the points, and
some bowed up the r~afters, but all
helped build the temple, though some
Of these never saw 1t, so now let us all
put our hands. and our shoulders, and
our hearts to the work of building the
temple of righteousness that shall fill
the earth; and one VIII bind q wound,
and another will wipe away n tear, and
another will teach a class, and another
will speak the encouraging word, and
all Of us will be ready to pull and lift
and in some way help on the work until
the millenial morn shall gild the pin
nacle Of that finished temple, and at
its shining gates the world shall put
down its last burden and in It's LAYERS
wash off its last stain and at its affairs
the last Wanderer shall kneel. At the
dedication OF that temple all the armies
Of earth and Heaven will shoulder
arms" and present arms" and ground
arms" for behold a greater than Solo
mon is. here"
But my first day in the Holy Land is
ended. Tomorrow we start for Jerusa-
lem.
Diet to Build Up "hen Hun Down.
When one is run down or in condition
Of anemia, there is al excess Of the
white blood corpuscles and not enough
OF the red. The best diet to correct
this Is IN food which Is the most nutri-
tious and easiest of digestion. These
conditions are met in fruits. grains and
milk. Some people have imagined that
blood could be made out of blood, and
in pursuance of this theory invalids
have resorted every day to abatoirs I'M
til they got so that they could drink a
pint of blood at a time fresh from a
slaughtered creature. The idea was
that the blood of the OK became his
blood, but this Is q mistake. The diam
eter of the blood corpuscles of an OK
are much smaller han those of n human
being and blood thus taken into the
stomach must first lie digested before it
can be of use, just as with other food.
There Is no better material to make
blood corpuscles out Of han nature fur
nishes in fruits, grains and milk.-Ex-
tract from Lecture by DIR. j. ii. Kellogg.
