The Miraculous.

Those who do not believe in miracles
will not accept the literal statements, but
treat them with scorn, or seek to explain
them as an allegOry. Those who believe
that Lazarus was raised from the dead
after he had lain in the grave four days.
and that Christ rose again after three
days, will not cavil about Gods power to
keep Jonah alive in the belly of the fish,
or causing the fish to eject him when and
where it pleased Him; nor doubt the
miraculous growth and decay of the
sheltering gourd. There is nothing i'm
possible to God. Things that We cannot
naturally account for may be solved

to go and preach repentance to the Nine
vites he disobeyed and fed.
God raised a storm and provided a fish
to swallow him, when cast overheard
the fish, after three days and nights, cast
him forth on the shore: God gave him a
fresh command, and conveyed him to
Nineveh where he delivered the message;
he was sheltered by a gourd which grew
in night and perished in a night.

mission that He would give them none
other sign than that of the prophet
Jonah-the sign of His resurrection.

siOnary tour as giving foundation

enterprises.
If we could make tour to all the mis-
sion stations. at home and abroad. we
would find the prophets of God for all
who have His message are prophets OF
the Most High preaching the doctrine of
repentance, and manifesting by precept
and example the goodness and mercy or
Him who hath sent them. And connected
with their work we would find much that
is miraculous.

He was not a type Of the good mis-
sionary, but an example to show as a
warning to the church to employ those
who have knowledge of Gods mercy and
justice.
Jonah had the gift Of prophecy; so had
Balaam; but that is not the highest gift.
With it even the heart may not be
changed. Jonah was a prophet, but he
had not the grace that changes the old
evil nature.
he true missionary must have the gift
of love that Paul speaks of q Cor, 1870:
Though l have the gift Of prophecy
and understand all mysteries and all
knowledge, and though 1 have all faith.
so that I could remove mountains, and
have not charity I am nothing"

Jonah we are enlightened as to His
purpose of love and good will toward all
men, and we also learn of what charac-
ter those should be who are sent as His
messengers.

FRENCH EIRDMAN PERFORMS
 REMARKABLE FEAT
DESCRIBED LETTER "s"
Executed "Loop the Loop" at Height of 5000 Feet-FIew Quarter of Mile with Head Downward

Juvisy, France, Sept. 1.-The daring French aviator Pegoud. who on August 20 made a parachute drop from an aeroplane from height of 900 feet to- day which at first sight appears to have been a piece of extraordinary aerial acrobatics, but which experts declare was an epoch making experi- ment towards the attainment of safe ty in the air. Briefly Pegoud caused his monoplane@to describe a gigantic letter 'S'' in the sky, during which he was flying upside down for about a quarter of a mile.
 Assumed Perpendi cuiar Position.
 The strictest secrecy was maintained prior to the test, and only few per sons were present when Pegoud took the air. He mounted rapidly to a height of more than 5000 feet, .des- cribing a curve; then the forward &art of the machine was observed to incline towards the earth. Through glasses the spectators saw the propeller slack en and the areoplane further incline until it was perpendicular with the earth It seemed as if nothing could stop the headlong plunge,
 Pilot With Head Downward.
 As the machine dropped swiftly the tail dipped again towards the earth and the pilot appeared head downward, Seconds, which seemed hours, passed. With almost inPeFeeptibie curve, the machine shifted its course t9 a. straight line, the pilot iH the same position. How leRg he femained upside down the anxious watchers could not de- teFHaiAe; but it was long enough te cause them to believe that he would never right himself.
 Experienced Strange SensatieA,
 Presently the aeaoplaHe dipped zrV.% IL, ,C,rl stunned an erect position. Pegoud flew for B few minutes to and fro and de- seconded by a series of beautiful spirals.
 Ca landing, the aviator said;
 fEEeFy thing went splendidly. Hhe levers answered the slightest touch. I wards, because l wanted to, not be- cause I couldn't help it. Fiae sensation is strange but not unpleasant and the machine did not pitch at all.
 Purpose of the Experiment.,
 T went very slowly So as to avoid sabjectiAg the machine to too violent strains, but had I wanted to, I could have righted myself muck more quick lY.'
 Regead's experiment. was prompted by the theory recently expressed by Louis BleEiot t1aaE iH th@ paramount problem of attaining safely in the air, automatic self-Eight{ng Gegiees and parachntes are beside the question; that they are just as much at the merey of a sudden violent gust as the oydilary air craft BFeFioBs theory poiRIed out that eYea birds are known they were able by fielding their wings te withdraw most of their surface from the aetipp pf the air. Il was urged that aR RndeaEog sf1opld be made to sq coPstTNct aFeoP7aReS that they could not be caPSizeA.
