pared a great fish, which phrase in
itself eliminates all difficulties for de-
vout souls who do not balk at miracles.
1t seems like device of the evil one
that the real message of the Jonah
story should be obscured by the figure
of a whale, which has no business in
the picture.
Jonah, who was a mature man. a
sort of court chaplin in the palace
of Jeroboam, king Of Israel, was call
ed to a foreign mission, to preach
repentance to Ninevah. He ran away
from his duty and took ship for the
West When a storm arose, and the
sailors began to consider who was
responsible for the wrath of the gods,
Johan's manhood reasserted itself,
and he offered himself as a sacrifice
to the waves. When the storm did
not abate. he was thrown overheard
and found refuge for three days, or
parts of three days, in cavity-the
word does not necessarily mean stom-
ach-of a great sea monster. He

Ninevah is to represent the need and
call of the world outside Christen-
dom. Jonah has been termed the
first foreign missionary. Dean STAN
ley calls him "the first apostle to the
Gentiles." What he was reluctant
to do, our own time has attempted
more courageously, as notable meet
ings this winter of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement illustrate. We have
dared to go up against heathendom
with a victorious message of Gods
love. Woe is me If l preach not the

work which envisaRes a whole city,
is known only to those who are in
the thick of the fight. Yet 1t Is in
the greatest cities that the greatest
victories must be won for God.
All profound students of the city
problem perceive that religion is it's
one hope of final solution. The mod
ern city preachers task is not so
easy as Jonah's: his work is many
sided, and ever tends to dissipate him
from his primary task of preaching
repentance. He has to think in large
units, for parochialism is primary
peril of city churches. Not all Chris
tians have learned to weep over the
city as their Master did. The more
prevalent fashion is to. move to the
suburbs when conditions grow un-
comfortable. Still the need abides,
and those who dare to remain for
the task are confronted with the de-
mand for new methods of presenting
the old Message.

ELIOT SEES WAR
LIBERTY'S TRIAL
Tells Reformers They Must
Prove Efficient as Autocracy
or Go Under.

Philadelphia, Dec 2.-Charles W. Eliot,
president emeritus Of Harvard Univer-
sity, startled state and city officials at
the closing session of the Civil Service
Reform Leagues annual meeting in the
Adelphia Hotel tonight with the dec
laration that incompetency and ineffi-
cheney of civil servants were endanger-
ing the whole fabric of our government
and the ideals of public liberty and
justice from a war standpoint. He
declared that il had been obvious for
more than a year that democracy as a
form of government was on trial.
First" said DR.. Eliot, "can it be as
efficient as modern autocracy in war?
To-day no one can answer that question
with confidence.
"If the free governments cannot or
ganize and maintain as effective armies
and navies as the autocratic govern
ments can, and fight as we'll as the au-
tocratic governments DO, they will not
survive the attacks Of dcspotic govern
ments which possess as great natural
resources as the free governments and
use them with more skill and greater
concentration of purpose. Such attacks
on free institutions must be expected
and provided against, for 1t has been
demonstrated that there exist IN Eu-
rope strong autocratic governments
which are ambitious to rule not only
their neighbors but the world.
"Secondly has democracy been as
efficient as autocracy in promoting the
public welfare during periods Of peace
Clearly the answer must be No-in
view Of Germany's achievements since
1850. It has been made plain by the
great war in Europe that industrial,
financial and civil efficiency are all nee
essary to military efficiency"
