TAKE TINE TO PLAY

REV. Jackson made . strong plea in
behalf of the human body in has dis-
course last evening. He said II needs
work. rest and recreation. Recreation
is not work, it 10 not rest, ii lies ike .

know Of one man, who. every night
when he goes home takes jolly romp
with his wife. Up and down the house
he goes. and passers by might think
there were burglars in the house. but
does it from sense OF religious duty
The speaker made reference 10 the
"noble old man." Mr.. Gladstone, noble
not only becvuse he 10 an eloquent ora
tor but because he 10 . noble man.
Even in his old age he keeps up hIa vi
tai powers through physical recreation.
Ii we are TO do work faithfully and

II 10 wonder TO me how some people
seem to think q laughing cheerful face

tian should never be questioned in bis
use of happy joyful hours, he needs
them and should have them. Rev.
Jackson told an amusing story Of his
early ministerhood. He WAS playing
croquet and interested IN the game he
had almost won it, when . good old
sanc:imonious deacon came along, and
leaning sadly over tho picket fence
looked sadly on the awful scene. He
walked away with the deacon
and received chiding. II

half apologized for the deed and / am
ashamed that did. The body needs

The soul that will be beautiful, strong
and vigorous must b in = strong active

life. We are here to work, TO suffer
and travail. Our play must be subor-
dlnate; means to an end, but all law
ful recrea ton 10 blessed. The final
supreme test of all amusement
il this: Do we come away
stronger and better equipped for the
battle of life? If not then - the time
to abandon them. would say to ell
this company Of young people, enjoy
life but watch that you do not beonme
q slave to folly: do not forget duty.
The manly thing is not 70 shut yourself

LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

INTERVENING Evansville second
chapter of the Book of Jonah contains
the prayer of Jonah ssunto the Lord
his God out of the Hsh's belly" The
penitent and humble prayer was an
swered, and, at the command of Je-
hovah, the fish ''vomited out Jonah
upon the dry land" The lesson fol-
lows.
PLAcEs.-It is not stated where Jonah
was when the second message came to
him. Probably he returned at once to
Gathhepher, his home. Nlheveh Is
first mentioned IN Genesis 10 II. Ac-
cording to the Revised Version, its
founder was Nimrod ('.he went forth
into Assyria, and builded Nineveh,"
etc., So the margin of the Authorized
Version also. 1t became the capital
city of Assyria, but may not have been
so at the time Jonah visited it. 1t was
destroyed in B. G. 625 or COG. Recent
discoveries confirm the biblical state
ments respecting its size and magnif-
cence. 1t a situated on the eastern
bank of the river Tlgris, opposite the
town now called Mosul. There is some
discussion as to how much of the ex-
tended group of ruins belonged to the
city in the days Of Jonah, but nothing
has been found to initiate against the
truthfulness Of the biblical statements.
TIME.-Probably not long after the
date Of the last lesson. Some place all
the events of the book in the latter
part of the reign Of Jeroboam II.
PERSONS Jonah, the king and peo-
pie of Nineveh. The name Of the king
is not given, and the uncertainty as to
the exact date and other circumstances
prevent an Identification with any of
the kings of Assyria. a list OF whom has
been recovered.
INcIDENTs.-The word of the Lord
comes to Jonah q second time, the
command being even more pronounced.
The prophet obeys. Entering the great
city one days journey, he proclaims
its destruction in forty days. The p T. O.
pie believe, and proclaim a fast. Even
the king puts on sack-cloth, and issues
a proclamation forbidding all to eat or
drink, and commanding penitence and
prayer. Their penitence is recognized,
and the threatened evil Is withheld.
