Preaching to the Ninevites

Preaching to the Ninevites
Our special lesson, however, is con
nected with Jonah's mission to the
Ninevites. Jonah's preaching was that
within forty days God would destroy
Nineveh. But the people, impressed
by his message, repented Of their sinful
course and sought Divine forgiveness.
We are, of course, to understand that
God knew the end from the beginning
that He knew that the Ninevites
would repent and that He would not
blot them out within forty days, in &C
cordance with Jonah's preaching.
Nineveh did pass away utterly, great
city that it was, but not within forty
literal days. Possibly the time meant
by the Almighty was what is some
times prophetic or symbolical time, a
day for year-forty days, forty years.
The lesson shows US how much
greater is the compassion of the AL
mighty than that of His imperfect serv-
ants Of human kind. God was pleas
ed to have the Ninevites turn from
their sins to hearty repentance. He
was pleased to grant them an extern
sion of earthly life. But Jonah was
displeased. His argument was, There,
God did make a fool of me. He told
me that this great city would be de-
stroyed within forty days, and !
preached it. But all the while He must
have known that it would not be de-
stroyed within forty days. God has
brought discredit upon me, and I am
now to be regarded as a false prophet.
Jonah was more interested in him.
self and his own reputation than in
the Ninevites and their interests. The
Lords servants must not do so!
God Repented of the Evil
The query arises in some minds,
How can God repent and change His
mind if He knows the end from the
beginning? The answer is that the
word repent has a -1uer meaning than
is generally appreciated. Humanity
uses it only in respect to change of
purpose. But, as modern dictionaries
show, the word may mean either a
change of action or a change of pur-
pose, or both. Gods purposes do not
change. He never repents of them.
But He does change His conduct
Thus Israel, His favored people for
centuries, was cut off, and Gods deal
ings toward them changed. But Gods
purposes never changed toward Israel.
He foreknew and foretold their reiec-
ton of Jesus and his rejection of them,
Ja4 I,
cred to their own land and be forgiven
and blessed by Messiah.
The Lord taught Jonah a lesson re-
specting his sympathy for a gourd, an
inanimate thing, and his lack Of SYM
pathy for the Ninevites. So it is with
many preachers and others. They have
sympathy for the flowers, for the birds,
for the lower animals, for children and,
to some extent, for all mankind under

AUTO men MAKE
GOOD IMPRESSION
SEVERAL MEMBERS OF FARGO
AUTOMOBILE CLUB TAKE A
PLEASANT TRIP TO DETROIT
OTHER MINNESOTA TOWNS
vIsITED-coRDIAL WELCOME.

Several members of the Fargo Au-
tomobile club made a trip to Detroit,
Mimi, and other adjacent points in
the gopher state Saturday afternoon,
and were most cordially received. The
trip was one Of pleasure combined
with business and proved wholly pro-
fitable from every standpoint.
Going on the trip were Mayor ". r.
Lowell, Fred Irish, Hector Barnes, Seth
Richardson, w. Fl. Workman, Eliot
Richards, and Chesbro Smith.
Aside from Detroit the towns visited
were Hawley, Lake Park and Audubon,
where the Fargo representatives were
greeted enthusiastically by the bust-
ness men and commercial clubs of
each place. Mayor Lowell addressed
the commercial organizations OF each
city in his characteristic manner and
it is felt the Fargo visitors created
a good impression.
Stress was laid on the necessity of
improving the roads in Minnesota be-
tween those points and Fargo so that
easy access and good travel could be
had between the biggest little city in
the world and the chief watering
places nearby which have become such
frequented resorts for Fargo pleasure
seekers.
The Fargo Automobile club has ap-
propriated 5000 for the improvement
and betterment Of the roads and it Ia
probable that each of the towns visited
Saturday will contribute their share
to the improvement movement also.
The road between Moorhead and
Dilworth is now In bad condition for
autoists and it is expected the Moor
head Commercial club will be called
upon to cooperate in the improvement
OF that portion of the speedway and
thoroughfare also.

bers are needed on the other side oi
