worldly sense to be the worlds
prophet, to come to the world with
the stern demands of God. We
know what generally happens to
prophets. They are Knocked and
scourged, and stoned And SO
Jonah or Israel seeks to escape the
unpleasant call. He is thereupon
swallowed up by the marine mon
ster, and there he dwells for time
in utter darkness and misery, typi-
flying Israel's punishment and exile.
In due time, however, Jonah or Is
rael is freed, and having learned the
divine lesson that there is no escape
from God-imposed duty, he applies
himself to his mission He finds that
the gentiles hear him gladly, accept
his doctrine or preachment, which
is as healing unto them. Where
Jonah expects punishment, God
shows mercy instead. Right here is
the other great lesson the author
seeks to impart to us. Gods COM
passion acts oftener than his justice,
a doctrine the sages of Israel never
wearied of reiterating. For as an
other Bible author words it, if God
were always to punish us for our
sins, how could we exist at all?
What mortal can be justified before
God?
Should any one again attempt to
make merry over the Jonah and the
whale story, let him remember that
this mythical tale, or allegory, is
used by it's Hebrew author to teach
us the noblest religious truths.
The phrase in which the theme
is worded is SO familiar that it has
become a part of the stock in trade
of the humorists. Who has not
heard some witticism about the old
est fish story, the story of Jonah
and the whale? I need not tell you,
however, that in spite of the famil
iarity of the phrase, there are few
who really understand the story, and
know what it is all about. People
speak Of the story and the book it
contains as one of the curiosities of
the Bible, one of it's perplexing
problems. Now it would be funny,
or perplexing, or curious, if there
were such a thing in the Bible as a
story of Jonah and the whale. But
while there is a Jonah there is no
whale. To see whale swallow a
human being and then disgorge him
again would indeed be funny spec
tacle. But the Bible says nothing
about whale, but just fish, prob
ably some big sea-monster, with
