He Had Broken Something.

Mrs. Wilson had a young Japanese
servant who had a habit of trying
to conceal from his mistress any
breakage of dishes of which he
CHANGED to be guilty. The good lady
explained that it was wicked to de-
ceive, and directed the Japanese to
tell her whenever he broke anything.
The boy promised to do as she ad-
vised. One day, while Mrs. Wilson
was entertaining some friends in the
parlor, the Japanese suddenly ap-
peared in the doorway. His teeth
were barred in a childlike smile, and
his eyes sparkled with the light of con-
sciOus virtue:

One of Bill Nye's.

Referring to a real estate transac-
ton made by one Peter Minuit, way
back in the year 1928, Bill Nye, in his
history of the United States, declared:
New York was afterwards sold for
$24; the whole island. When l think
of this l go into HTy family gallery,
which l also use as a swear room. and
tell those ancestors what l think Of
them. Where were they when New
York sold for S24?"
The humor of this strikes deeply
when one stops to consider what has
been the outcome of this original in
vestment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets
and a few bottles of rum, SO delighted
the native indians that they gladly
turned over to him the whole of Man
haitian island, now the heart of

THE STORY.

THE prophecy which the prophet
i Jonah had spoken concerning the
political revival of Israel and the re-
covery of the coast line which years
before had been lost TO the hostile ma
tons round about had proved a pop
and everywhere the prophet went he
was enthusiastically received. His
words inspired the people with the
one purpose of bringing about thai
which the prophet had said should
come to pass.
King Jereboam, who during the
early part CT his reign was inclined
to rest content with the victories
which his father had won, and who
apparently had no military aspirations
other than that of keeping what he
already possessed, was at first Gis-
posed to receive the message of Jonah
with skeptical mind, declaring that the
recovery of the uttermost borders of
Israel was impossible, for their en-
emies were strong and Israel's forces
weak.
But as the popular feeling had risen
and swept owe the land, unifying the
nation with the N impulse of re-
gaining lost territory, he had caught the
spirit of the movement, and was soon
the most enthusiastic leader of the
nation. displaying a military genius
even greater than that which his ia.
ther had shown before him.
Jonah watched these developments
with profound satisfaction and graft
tude to God. His message to the ma.
tion had been one to which his whole
being had responded, for there was
no more loyal or devoted Israelite in
all the land than he. He knew his
country's history, and he knew her
needs, and had 1t not been that the
spirit uf God had laid hold of his in
tense nature and held him for a re.

MS story VI oOiio''

self, needs no further lndorse-
ment of scholar or critic to make
it authentic to the minds of the
devout and earnest students of
Gods word. The easiest and
most reasonable way out of all
the difficulties of the book is
just to take it for what it says.
II teaches many profound les
sons, first of all, perhaps, being
that of the Wilderness of Gods
plans and the narroWness of
the conception of Gods serv-
ants.
While God was concerned
with all the world, and his heart
had gone out in mercy and love
to that great city of Nineveh,
his servant, Jonah, had so To-
Called himself and so limited
the mercy and blessing of God
to the one nation of Israel that
he could not for a moment con-
ceive of the possibility of its be-
ing right or Just to give Nine
veh a chance.
Preach to Nineveh! Prepos-
ferrous! And Gods prophet
was in a rage and sought to
escape the discharge of the
commission laid upon him.
There are a great many run
away disciples OF God, it is to be
feared; disciples whose narrow
conception of Gods work tempts
them to avoid the service which
would take them far from home
and to a people and nation not
their own.
Jonah needed a larger vision
of Gods purposes and plans. and
so do we. The prayer: Lord
bless me, and my wife, bless my
son John, and his wife, us four,
and no MORE" must give place
to the prayer which takes in all
the world in that true spirit
which makes one willing to go
and follow up the prayer, in a
life of service.
"Woe is unto me-" cries Paul,
off | preach not the Gospel"
and thrust out from his w ma
ton and his own people he must
needs carry Gods world wide
Gospel to the uttermost parts
of the wide, wide world.
There are two consequences
of Jonah's disobedience and at
tempt to escape doing what God
had directed him to do. First,
his suffering and danger,
and second, the great distress
and peril into which his conduct
plunged other people.
But out of this dark chapter
in Jonah's history there shines
the bright light of an unwaver-
ina faith In God, and his willing
ness to bear all blame and the
consequences of his wrong-doing
in order that the innocent might
escape.
Even death in the sea did not
restrain him from trying to
right the wrong he had done to
those innocent sailors, and so he
urges them to cast him out, his
faith in God being strong enough
to assure him that come what
might he could only afford to
do thaI which was right. The
reward of faith came In his re-
rarkabIe preservation.
