New York.-A handsome big French
steamer trunk, brought into port by a

SERM RMONETTE

"Ard now, my son. depart out
OF Nineveh, because that those
things which the prophet Jonah
spske shall surely come to
pass"
Gods words never fail.
As man counts time there
seems an endless period be-
tween prophecy and fultIInent.
but at last the Judgment fslis
and Scripture Is fulfilled.
Here we find a devout Jew
OF Nineveh certain Of a great
eity's doom because hundreds
and hundreds OF years before
Gods prophet had declared that
ultimately the city should be
destroyed.
All around him was gayety
, and life. . great city. with mas
sive walls and strong ruler.
Could such place meet destrue-
tionf
Such might have been the
question which reasonably could
have arisen in Tobft's heart.
But when Il came TO a choice
between what appeared to his
outward vision and the express
! declaration Of Gods word. he
believed God. even though he
! could not understand or tell
ho~ those things were TO come
! to pass
u was the old story Of Noah
! ard the noed. No sign Of the
approaching deluse. but God
! said u would come and II did.
But even though Noah preached
! hundred years to warn the
people Of the iudsmen, Of God.
I they turned a deaf ear 70 the
I prophets words snd-psrished
IN the food.
! So probably Tobit sought TO
Z warn at least the people Of his
! own race in Sineveh. but Just
Z as there were many Jews in Je-
( russIem who Needed not the
Z warning to fee and persisted
! r,iserably in The doomed city. so
{ in Nineseh many perished who
! might. like Tobias and his fam
( lily. have found safe refuge in
I another place.
I What lesson for u.s. This,
surely: That just as the
{ warning Of God was spoken to
\ the doomed city Of Nineveh. so
Z God Is speaking his warnings TO
! the souls OF men to-day. They
may trihe with this word. but &,
\ cannot delay or prevent the final
fulfillrert. The few will heed
the warning The many will re-
( main in their present condition
