Chicago. July 29.-"Jonah and
the whale IL not simply fish
story" according to Rev. G. H.
Jackson, pastor of the Chicago
Lawn Methodist Episcopal church,
who addressed the Des PLANES
eampmeeting today.
Many preachers are afraid or
ashamed to preach about Jonah
FOR fear OF being laughed at. but
the book of Jonah Is one of the
most evangelical of all the books In
the old testament. Some people
say that the gastric juices do not
act on a living body and this is
given as an answer to those who
argue that 1t would have been i'm
possible for Jonah to have re-
manned In the whales stomach for
three days without being digested.
1t was a plain case of acute indi-
gestion on the part of the whale.
