The warden and the board are in a good

law of the last session forbids them MAX

only about one-third of the men in prison

of their need of such products may be

JONAH STORY PROVEN.
Each year the fish story is brought out
by some infidel lecturer or higher critical
preacher or professor and made butt of
ridicule because of its impossibility, as they
say. This, in the face of many facts al
most as remarkable Hume said miracles
do not happen. yet Prof. Huxley, in his
book on Hume, treating the subject from
the same standpoint, says: No event is
too extraordinary to be possible, and there
fore if by the term miracle we mean only
extremely wonderful events, there can be
no just ground for denying them. The
Literary Digest for April 4, 1896, contains
an account almost as wonderful as the
story OF Jonah, and it has never as yet been
successfully denied, so far as l can learn.
during the semitic expedition made by the
Prince or Monaco in the Prince 5 Alice, in
1893, there was captured near the Azores
gigantic sperm whale forty-tour feet long.
Just before dying the animal cast up sew
efal large cephaiopOds, or which three be-
nnglng TO new species were more than
"a feet in length. These creatures were in
a perfect state of preservation when the
Wnaie stomach was opened Remains Of
other cephaIopOdS were found weighing 231
pounds some of which must have meas
ured originally between six and seven feet.
M: Courbet says further These discov-
erleS render categorical interpretations con-
corning Jonah no longer necessary. In the
first place it has been contended that it
was absolutely impossible tor whale or
right to swallow man, as they have
threats too narrow for this, and feed only
on small fish. Now the sacred text says
nothing at all about a whale or right 1t
says great fish Piscem gran
deur, according to the VulSate;
Letos. according to the septuagint,
which is Greek, and this last word refers es-
pecially to cetacean of which different
specimens-the dolphin porpoise and sperm
Whale-are still found in the Mediterranean.
Being able to swallow animals larger than
a man, the Bible narrative is confirmed on
TINS point, But now comes the strangest Of
all. In February 1891, the whaling
sci Star of the East launched two whale
boats, with an equipment of men, to pur-
sue superb sperm whale that was OBJ
served at some distance. The huge creature
was harpooned and wounded to the death.
While writing in its last agonies one of
the WhaleboatS was struck by its tail and
shattered into pieces. The sailors in it
rescued but two. One OF the others was
found later, but the other, by name James
BARLEY, was not discovered The whale was
afterward brought up alongside the vessel
and a day and night were spent in cutting
it up. When the work was completed they
cut open it's stomach and to their surprise
discovered their missing comrade, James
BARLEY, alive but unconscious. The man is
said to be alive to-day. Things as strange
as any recorded in Scripture are happening
every day The greatest miracle on earth
is sinner saved by grace. The miracles Of
Pentecost and the Bibles progress are
about us on every hand and incOnceivabIy
greater than the one of Jonah. By its fruits
