HOW JONAH LOOKED LATER.
An African Convert Supplies History
where the bible Is silent.


Where the Bible IL silent
Here is a composition written
by a little Afrca girl at Palanas
five years after she was caught
running wild. 1t was read at a
missionary meeting by Bishop
Clark. The spelling is corrected:
"HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY
AND THE EARTH"
Do you know what history is2
History, you know, teaches US
what is to happen in the past
event. Geography shows where
the thing has happened at. History
tells us when Adam and Eve we're
created, and geography shows US
where the Garden of Eden is
which continent and which divis-
ion. .....
History tells us that Adam
was the first man that was Great
ed, and while he was sleeping
God took out one of his ribs and
made Eve. After a while he went
to walk among the trees of the
garden. Conversation took place
between her and the devil. The
devil told her to eat some kind of
fruit which God had told her and
Adam not to eat. She took it and
ate it; also took some for her hus-
band. When Adam saw it he did
not take no time to ask where she
got it from.
History, geography and the
earth just do go together. One
tells us about this and one tells
about that, etc. Histories are
interesting to read, indeed they
are. 1t tells us about the whale.
The whale is the largest animal in
the sea. Whale is spoken of by
the Bible. When God had sent
Jonah to Nineveh to preach to
the people about their sins Jonah
refused to CO. He went into
ship with some people. He first
went in there to hide from God,
but God caused q storm to take
place. The ship went from this
way to that way. The people was
afraid indeed, and they began to
cast lots. The lot fell upon jon
ah, so they mp and throwed him
into the sea.
while he was going to the very
bottom of the sea he went with
this animal, so the whale said:
My friend, where are you goingY
Jonah answered and said unto
him: Il have disobeyed my God
and am trying to hide from his
face The whale said: You
ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Don't you know that neither L
nor you can hide from his faceP
Jonah said: oh, whale! 1 am
afraid. l do not know what 1
am doing or saying The whale
said: oh, Jonah, Jonah, heark-
Ell unto me, and take heed to your
self, for, indeed, l will swallow
you up soon Jonah said: Have
mercy upon me, oh, whale, and if
it is Gods will, he will carry me
safely to the land, SO l may obey
him. The whale said: Jonah
put your head in my mouth and
get ready for your life.' Jonah
said: Whale. l think you had
better swallow me, because 1 see
there is no use talking The
whale said: Jonah, the idea of
your running away from God You
will bear the consequences; that
is all l got to say. At the same
time he did swallow him up.
Jonah thought the whale s
body was his grave and end.
Therefore, Jonah offers up a
prayer to God for his sins if he
should die before he should get to
the shore if it was Gods will to
carry his soul to heaven. The
whale did not rest day after day
nor night after night, so after
three days the whale went to the

RACE FOR A BRIDE.

was in those days
- VI when Sharp's island,
XII ~ which divides the mouth
TE of the Choptank and the
<1MA Chesapeake bay, was
R the site Of three large
& farms Of more than four
hundred acres. But the
ceaseless roll of the
tides of the bay and river on the two
sides and the numerous ice gOrges OF
the northern rivers of the bay have
caused the island to be worn away to
q mere shadow of its former self
The lighthouse, which is now more
than a halfmile away from the north

solid ground, one hundred or two hun
dred yards from the water. But the
Choptank has not been changed.

The water is of beautiful dark blue
and has that fresh ness and sadness of
air about it which is only possessed by
the ocean itself.
On this particular day the sky was
radiant with flooded sunshine, and a
gentle breeze was blowing redolent
with summers fragrances. There was
a delightful calnness on the river and
bay. which persuaded one to spend his
time in idly dreaming. number of fish

hours of sport. Suddenly from one
end of the island came a swiftly-rowed
boat, in which were number OF

and elderly-looking man. Closely fol-
lowing, and seemingly in pursuit of it,
came a second boat. streered by a
middle-aged man, and propelled by
two sturdy young men.

men.

won't Rome howl?''
II bet on the lovely bride!'
And on the stern parent!
Come, boys. come! Jump into the
boat and let's see the fun out
Dick Wilson's father had died some
years ago, and left his son a fine farm
Of one hundred and fifty acres. Adj
joining the Wilson farm was that of
John Roche. For years there had been
bad blood between the neighbors 1t
WAS all on account OF a point of land
projecting into the Choptank. Both
Wilson and Roche claimed it, and when
it was taken to law, it was decided in
favor of Wilson. About two years ago
Roche married pretty widow named
Barnes. She had a daughter whose
name was Nellie. 1t was love on the
first sight when Dick and Nellie acct
dentally met in the church the
mainland. From that time the
affection grew stronger. They fondly
thought that no one knew it but them
selves. but they were mistaken for

bo8t he looked straight ahead.
He seemed perfectly cool, and ever
and anon, by means of a large bundle
which held the aIl-importlnt veil and
wreath, tried to assure and comfort

fondly thought were not seen. But
such was not the case. For the gig
Cling, sharp-eyed bridesmaids, who
were seated in the bow Of the boat,
discovered them. They revealed their
laughter in the intervals left from
charming the young rowers by their
conversation.
The good parson was the elderly
man. and he it was who would tie the
knot. He sat in the stern, steering
with studied precision
And as the second boat approached.
MIR. Roche arose from his seat, and
cried. with a string of Oaths:

I'm not stealing her." Dick replied.
''She comes of her own free will, and
with her mothers consent. You've

sides, she's Of age
This was followed by outbursts of
laughter and hurrahs from the boys in
the boat. The only thing Mr.. Roche
ala was TO glare ana swear. AFTER re-
covering himself, he finally said:
Il have this against you. that you're
your fathers son, and you'll not have
Nell. I'm the head of the house.
Come out Of that boat, Nell. I'll
shoot"
At these words he leveled shotgun
at Dick. Nellie screamed with terror.
''Oh! Dick, let me go to him or he will
kill you!"
He'd like to, no doubt" said Dick.
''bnt he's afraid Of shooting the rest,

darling, with the happiness that will
be ours SO near!' The last sentence
was uttered to her alone. but the party
heard the rest and cheered him as be-
fore. But though they laughed, they
did not cease rowing. Yet. they did
not increase their lead, for the Roche
boys pulled as Justify as ever.
'Once more I say stop and give her
up or III fire in ano Their minute"
roared Roche again.
What the issue might have been it is
impossible to say, but in their excite

away they sped.
Meanwhile Roche and his sons. who

had no idea but what they could pass

to be lost. since the fugitives were now
nearly across. and Roche and his party
soon left the fishermen far behind.
The bridal party saw them coming,
and their triumph babe fair to be short

dilemma by the horns.
"Children" said he. Its an irregular
thing to do, though perfectly legal;
but ! propose to marry you right here
and now. That old fellow will not be
ten minutes behind us when we reach
the shore. and. besides, those boys
have pistols"
'Oh. parson. you surely would not

younger bridesmaid.
My dear. can bind their hearts
and hands just firmly under this
blue sky as in the most holy church
ever built
So Nellie was assisted to arise and
was helped in her forts by the steady
ing arm of Dick. As she stood in the
middle of the boat. under the clear
sky. she made a Demonstrating bride.
The roses came back to her cheeks,
and she was herself once more.
AS the good parson commenced the
ceremony. one Of the bridesmaids man
aged to put the wreath and veil upon
Nellie. Although it was somewhat
ruffied. it made quite a pretty appear

that it was the shortest marriage cere-

reached the shore carriage was wait
ing there before the church in which the
ceremony was to have taken place. 1t
was a work of a few moments to get
into the carriage and drive to the
steamer. which was about to leave.
Just as the steamer pulled out, Mr..
Roche and his sons. looking a little
the worse for wear from their bath,
struggled up from the beach. They
were just in time to see Nellie waving
her handkerchief from the lower deck.
