JONAH AND THE WHALE

Published by request
In the Bible we are told
OF prophet who was called
To city that was stepped in awful
sin.
All the people in that place,
We're devoid of saving grace,
And the prophet seemed afraid to en-
ter in.
Chorus:
Over there, over there, in that land SO
bright and fair,
Oh, he'll tell me all about it over
there.
On that Hallelujah strand,
I'll take Jonah by the hand,
And he'll tell me all about it over
there.
Then this prophet forth was sent,
That all Nineveh might repent,
But instead to Tarshish he set sail.
Oh, the winds began to blow,
Overheard did Jonah go,
And he found mercy seat inside the
whale.
In the cold and heaving deep
Tears of grief did Jonah weep,
And the big fish threw him out upon
the shore.
Then he gladly went his way,
Preached to Nineveh night and day,
And he didn't oare to backslide any
more.
Oh, some people don't believe
That whale could him receive,
But that does not make my song at all
untrue.
There are whales on every side.
With their big mouths open wide, \
Just take care, my friend, or they will
swallow you.
Many souls are tossed about
By the whales of fear and doubt,
But the Savior wants to take them by
the hand,
If they will His voice obey,
He will save them light away,
And He'll guide them safely to the
promised land.

common to South America. the West

The passion fruit. whose scientific
name is passi-fiora. is delicious fruit,
which has taste resembling that or
the grape, but which usually grows
as large AZ an ordinary peach. AT
present Il thrives in the open only in
tropical countries. Mr. Fairchild has
hopes that there can be developed
variety OF the fruit which will be
hardy enough TO withstand the climate
OF the southern half OF the United
States. To fruit growers who are in.
terested in experiments along this
line he has suggested the crossing cf

through the process OF crossing. the
production of passion fruit on COM
mercial scale, with its sale on the
markets of the United States, will be

will result.
The passion fruit is eaten as are

line.
In some countries the growing OF
passion fruit I'm greenhouses has be-

years ago, when Mr. Fairchild was In
Edinburgh. Scotland. he was sur

South American varieties to a number
OF men owning large private green
