third day Jonah was cast by the while
upon the land. 1t is still further recorded
that Jonah then went 10 Nineveh and de-
livered his message, that the people re-
pented, =
Now. the radical skeptic, without giving
the subject careful study, sums up the
case in single dogmatic assertion, which
is this: | do not believe one word of this
story. a dogmatic reply, in kind, or a
clerical rebuke of some sort, will get no
where and will leave the dsputants look
ing at, or making faces at, each other
sane criticism would be, however.
that the assertion OF the critic is far too
sweeping. for unless one is prepared to
deny the crcdbility of all history, some
parts Of this story of Jonah, on the ground
OF Tie highest criticism, are such that one
cannot help believing them.
The first fact TO be noted is that the
age in which Jonah is alleged to have
lived was not mythical, out historical and
prophetical. Jonah was contemporaneous
with Obadiah Joel, Amos and Hosea who
belonged 10 the last grouping of the Old
Testament prophets. He lived in the time
Of Jeroboam, with whom ne had great in
nuence. II, therefore, Jonah is consigned
TO the realm of the mythical, there is no
reason why these other prophets, and this
King. or indeed no reason why the Greek
ana itOman CLASSICAL writers oil the same
period. and even those who Aourshed
later, should not also % consigned to the
realms OF myth. Indeed. one can present
Jus; as strong reasons in support of the
statement that Virgil, Dante and Shakes
peare were unhistorical as that Jonah, the
sen Of Amittai, was such

Another adverse criticism on the Jonah
narrative is that no large sea monsters
frequent the waters of the Mediterranean.

quented in early times by a species OF
shark called the sea dog, CAMS carcharias,
whose normal length at maturity, accord
ing to modern works on zoology, is thirty
feet.
The noted French naturalist, Lacepede,
states that these Mediterranean sea dogs
can swallow animals much larger than
man without mutilating them. In his His
tore Des Poissons" is this statement:
Sea dogs have lower jaw of nearly six
feet in it's semi-circular extent, which en-
ables us to understand how they can swal-
low entire animals as large or larger than
ourselves"
And 1t is a well-known fact that the
voracity OF sea dogs, and, indeed, that OF
many Of the shark family, is such that
they never chew their food, but swallow
everything they can without chewing.
This, then, in brief, is the challenge OF
the skeptic: The retaining of ones con-
seriousness for the length Of time alleged,

pers" of the Bible And one may think
from the frequency and violence of the
attacks upon the historical integrity of
this story. and from the sport made of il,
that il is the most vulnerable narrative in
the Bible.
Not so very long since tho story of
Jonah was handled in such a way by an
eminent clergyman who is also literary
critic the Rev. Or. Lyman Abbott, as TO
excite great merrment and outburss of
laughter in the congregation. though such
results the doctor afterward said. were
not intended But if the story. as he as
sured his hearers, lis wholly fiction why
should not just such facetious and laugh
able results have been intended?
But it, on the other hand, this narrative
is regarded by many intelligent and scho-
arly people as veritabe history, then the
case is different, and the story is such as
may demand reinvestgation
Adopting this method, ii is legitimate,
first of all, TO bring before the mind the
more important facts or what are said to
be facts, and then ascertain what parts OF
the narrative are credible, and what, IL
any, are 10 be ruled against The follow
ing matters are found in the record:
Jonah the son of Amitta was born al
Gath-hepher about eight hundred years
before Christ. He was what is termed a
Jehovah prophet and. after prophesying
concerning Israel, was sent to Ninevch,
the metropolis OF the Assyran Empire to
preach repentance 10 that great and wicked
city. Instead OF obeying the command he
took passage at Joppa for Tarshish either

tesus in Spain; the latter place is the
more probable. The narrative from this
point on is So briees and faultlessly stated
that one need attempt no pharaphrase, but
may give the story, up to the point OF
.Ionah's casting into the sea, precisely as
IL is in the record. ending:
Now the Lord had prepared great
fish to swallow up Jonah And Jonah was
in the belly of the fish three days and
three nights. tChap. j. AID
This account is followed by what seems
to be the most improbable statement of
all-that Jonah retained his consciousness
and offered prayer while in that loath
some Imprisonment. Il is also said that
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1914-02-01

and under such conditions as ares alleged
is incredible and impossible, and, there Is
no power or agency on earth that could
have restored "a partly digested man to
consciousness.
In this opinion of the railroads.&c. skep
tic let us say that we fully concur. and
confess that we know of no agency on
earth that could have saved the disobe-
dent prophet from death in the FOOD
STOMACH Of whale. provided he were
there three days and nights.
This, then, is the evangelical confession
of faith: We believe the Bible narratives
and miracles because on scientific grounds
they are possible; because they are sup
ported by circumstantial, monumental and
other indisputable proofs, and because
there were purposes of sufficient magni
tude to justify divine interposition.
We believe that the jaws OF the sea
monster opened and closed upon the dis
obedient prophet, but God interposed and
delivered him in order that the more
faithfully he might declare the divine mes
sage; that the people of Nineveh might
listen more atentively and obediently to
what he had to say; that Jonah's deliver
ance might be prophetic sign Of Christ's
resurrection, and that his deliverance
might also be prophetic sign, extending
through the ages, that God can keep his
children in safety, though dead until the
morning of the resurrection.

large enough to do it, but was right whale
and that Jonah was not taken into the

the whale, which was large and commo-

We quote the following from the edi-

"a large whale may weigh as much as
eight hundred men. and it requires as
much fresh air as eight hundred men re-

So many persons have signified
their willingness to donate to the guest
house fund that the failure Of the
twelve teams which canvassed the
city last week to make the required
amount will not close the campaign
but active work will again be taken
up the last week in the month. This
was the decision Of the directors last
night at meeting held at the home OF
Miss Robinson on North Eleventh
street.
The following statement was issued
by Miss Wilson, a member or tho
board Of directors Of the Guest House
association:
while the amount hoped for was
not secured during last weeks cam
paign for funds. the Board feels that
the sum raised is sufficient to warrant
proceeding with the project, contribu-
tons are still coming in and the teams
are busy with work that could not be
comDleted by the end of last week.
so many people have expressed a
willingness to contribute later that
the board of directors and the execu-
tive committee of the Auxiliary feel
no hesitancy in starting another act
i've canvass the latter part of the
month to secure the necessary bal
ance.
ITO those engaged closely in the
work the ned for such home is ever
more apparent. The vision of home
where working girls, weary from a
long days work, may have a cheerful
evening meal, a quiet hour by the fire
side, books, magazines, music, in short
a home that ministers to heart, mind
and body, this vision is so clear tc
those who are engaged in this work
that their efforts will not cease until
it becomes reality.

any Interior motive, but with a rea
desire to perform a service to those
who need it.
1t was planned on a broad basis sc
that the things necessary to human

After the splinter had been re-

impression that the library committee
is asking that a man be placed in

The intention was to say that ref
erence librarian Is needed. This has
been suggested by Mrs. Bernhard
the present librarian, and is recon-
mended by the library board.
The committee has given nobody
word to the effect that a change In
library management is needed or ask
