There need be small wonder that his

1t is not clear why these vehicles are
needed. Cleveland is equipped with a

Jonah and the Critics.

There are several narratives in The
books Of the Old Testament thar merit
immunity from the searching analysis OF
cynical criticism. Their very wonder
adds TO their dignided impresslveness.
and their variance from the humdrum
experiences OF everyday life carries its
own charm. II is only natural that the
adventures OF the sea. with all their
romantic possibilities, should be in
cluded in these records Of the patriarchal
past. The nautical and geological
achievement Of Noah has no parallel in
literature. That Il is unique only adds
to the exercise Of faith.
But scientific investigation sometimes
brings confederation. The celebrated
voyage Of Jonah has been a favorite
object OF attack by the skepticaL They
have disputed the accuracy OF the transla-
ton that interprets his living vehicle as a
whale. Learned biologists insist that no
whale could swallow a man. because OF

that modern industry has utilized to its
profit But there may have been giant
whales in those days, and there remains
the possibility Of uncalculated elasticity
Of the creatures throat But the ccien-
tifc Investigators will not let well
enough alone. The contemporaneous fish
story comes from the ancient Mediter-
ranean that a shark has been caught
having I'm its stomach the bodies Of a
man, a woman, and a child. These
CHASTITY evidences prove a tragedy that
calls for sympathy But they are not
TO be taken as an indication that the
sea monster that swallowed Jonah was
a shark They demonstrate only the
abnormal capacity and melancholy oppor-
tunity OF one particular fish Moreover.
there is ample authority for the state
ment that there are nature takers in
these days. The imaginative survives
the unitarian age. There must be soma
room for credence. It really ought not
10 be necessary to adjust everything
that happened in the dim past TO the
hard liberalism Of present experience.
