the sorrow OF the mother or realize
what the going OF the father meant
Chfldlike he was attracted by the sol
der equipment, the shining breast
plate, the long. slender spear with it's
cleaning head and the bow and great
culver OF arrows slung over the
sturdy shoulders OF his father. and
with slender reed for a spear which
he held aloft just as he had seen his
father do, he marched about. fully re.

TO war when he was a man Just az
papa vas doing.
The little fellow looked up as the
last words Of his father were spoken.
and something in his mothers face
held his attention, and he heard her
say:
Yea, victory may be with IsraePs
banner. as Elisha the prophet hath
said. but many brave soldier of Is
fael may fall in the battle"
A tear rolled down the yonan's
cheeks, and the little fellow noted

little face that was upturned TO the
father to receive a last parting kiss
and loving pat, and then without a
word he followed the weeping mother
into the house, while the father fell In
with the other soldiers ana went
marching down the road.
What is it, mamma?" he whispered

prophets name, and somehow con.

The childish query brought a half
smile to his moth er's lips as she
went on to explain that Elisha was

sERMoNErTE.

According to the word Of the
Lord God Of Israel, which he
spaks by the hand Of his serv.
ant Jonah, the son Of AmittaI,
the prophet, which was Of
Gath-hepher."
Jonah was intensely Jewish,
intensely patriotic. Love Of the
land Of Israel was next to his
love for God. Loyalty to his
country was measured by his
loyalty to his God. With him
there was no conflict between
citizenship and holiness. And
for this reason we find him
active in the restoration policy
Of the kingdom, and giving that
advice and encouragement which
undoubtedly united the forces
Of the nation and prepared them
for the aggressive campaign
which ended so splendidIy In the
recovery of the coast Of Israel.
The obligation Of citizenship
devotion to God.
Separation from the world
and the things of the world does
not mean an escape Of social
and political obligations to the
world.
Service to God can only be
shown by service to the world.
1t is wonderful thing to be
the mouthpiece Of God.
God chooses for special serv-
ice those who by ability and
training and impulse are Pc
cuiiarIy fitted for such servite.
Jonah was a close student Of
his nations history, he knew
the promises Of God concerning
1t, he was jealous for the po-
liticaI as we'll as the religious
prosperity of the nation, and
for this reason God used tim
not only to speak the words of
prophecy concerning the re-
covery Of the territory which
israel had lost, but also to so
inspire and unity the forces Of
the nation as to make 1t pos
sibie for King Jcroboam to
wage his successful campaign.
Of course we must not forget
that in addition to his natural
fitness for his mission as
prophet to the nation of Israel,
he also possessed that pity and
sense of vital union with God
which made him willing and
obedient to the purposes of
God.
To be sure his intense pa
triotism and loyalty to his own
nation proved his one weak
ness and led him to try and run
away from, the command Of God
which directed him to seek the
good of neiehboring nation
whose revival and prosperity
he feared might threaten the
safety Of his own nation, but we
find him finally yielding to the
discipline of God and obediently
going on mission of mercy to
a rival nation. In other words,
obedience to God transcribed
any human obligation. Well is
it when the soul srasps this
thought.

remote district near the Arapaho peaks

tho trail about four hours I got a
fresh trail leading to the Devils Thumb,
one Of the Arapaho peaks. I had on

carbine swung over my shoulder by a
strap and both hands busy with the
brake stick and a long steep descent
before me. Had a stern chase for more
than a mile, but the spirit of Daniel
Boone got the better of me and threw
the brake stick away and fairly ran over
that buck! In the meantime 1. got my
