Prayer That AvaiIS.
Those who reject sne first and
second chapters of Jonah will
hardly be interested in the third.
with which the text for our talk
begins, but those who ACCEPT the
Bible as true will see how a re-
pentant nah obeyed a SECOND
call and went to deliver Gods
message to Nineveh.
Nineveh was an exceeding
great city. and Jonah spoke with
such earnestness that he con-
verted the whole population
They proclaimed a fast and put
on ssckcloth, from the great
est to the least.
Even the king harkened to
the message. laid aside his royal
robe, covered himself with sack
cloth, the coarse garment that
indicated repentance, and sat in
ashes. He issued proclama-
tion command nding that neither
man nor beast should taste food
or water.
II was a real revival, a sim
cere turning from sin and an
appeal for mercy. They did not
know whether God would repent
and turn away from His fierce
anger, but they felt that they
must either touch the heart of
the Almighty or perish.
This is the prayer that avails:
II expresses faith in the power
OF God and faith in His loving
kindness. II is the kind OF re-
pentance that makes IL possible
for God to blot out sin and re-
member 1t no more against the
transgressor.
The Most Wicked iCan Repent.
And the people prevailed with
God. The Heavenly Father saw
that they turned away from
their evil way; "aud God re-
pented Of the evil. that He had
said He would do unto them;
and He did il not"
The experience of Ninevah
presents an impressive lesson.
ItN was a wicked city and its
wiekedness threatened its de-
struction. But the most wicked
can repent. They can turn from
their sins and be forgiven. The
wages Of sin Is death. but sal
walton is possible when the con-
ditions are complied with.

Wicked Nineveh Converted
By Earnestness of Jonah
Strength and Weakness Of Human Nature
Shown in Life Of Prophet Whose Words
Lead to Repentance.
by WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
who is the first missionary OF
whom the Bible gives us an
account!
Jonah: and. like all Bible biog-
raphies. his sets, forth both his
virtues and his faults.
The story, contained in the
four short chapters of the Book
Of Jonah, begins with, Now the
word of the Lord came unto
Jonah the son Of Amittai. say
Ing, Arise. 20 to Nineveh, that
great city. and cry against t.:
for their wickedness is come up
before me-" -
But Jonah. instead OF obey
ing the call, fled from the pres
ence Of the Lord. and at Joppa
took ship for Tarshish. There
follows the account OF the storm
sent by the Lord. so that the
ship was like to be broken:
the fear that came upon the
sailors: the casting OF lots. and
the selection OF Jonah as the
one to blame for the tempest.
II must be said to Jonah's
credit that in the hour Of trial
his conscience resumed COM
mand. He admitted his sin and
was willing to be cast into the
sea. The sailors hesitated, but
finally choosing between the
sacrifice of Jonah and their
own safety. cast him overheard.
BibIe's Most Diseased Verse.
Then follows the one verse In
all the Bible most frequently
quoted by those who reject the
miracles recorded in the Bible.
II there Is one miracle at which
the skeptics scoff, 1t Is the
miracle that saved Jonah.
Now the Lord had prepared a
great fish to swallow up Jonah.
And Jonah was in the belly OF
the fish three days and three
nights"
Thus the first chapter Of
Jonah's biography ends.
Then Jonah prayed unto the
Lord his God out OF the fish's
belly" Thus the second chapter,
which gives his prayer, begins:
and II concludes with this verse:
And the Lord spake unto the
fish, and 1t vomited out Jonah
upon the dry land"
The text Of our talks 80 far
this year have contained a rec
ord of numerous miracles. and
the rejection OF one is hardly
possible except upon grounds
that would lead to the rejection
of all. Acceptance OF some OF
these miracles requires a much
stronger faith than is necessary
for the acceptance OF the miracle
wrought for the rescue of Jonah.
Elijah's prayer test with the
priests of BaaI. for instance, ana
Elisha's raising from the dead OF
the son Of the ShunaInmIts
woman - both OF these are
greater illustrations OF the
power OF God manifested through
His prophets. The sending OF
the ravens to feed Elijah and
the healing OF Naaman. captain
OF the hosts of Syria. OF his
,eprosy were as clearly miracu-
lous.
The Trouble with the Critics,
The trouble with those who
reject the miracles is that they
have adopted an hypothesis that
precludes the miraculous. 1t Is
not, therefore, question of
proof with them, but what they
regard as a matter Of principle.
They profess to believe tina:

Text of Mr.. Bryan's
Bible Talk T0dag
(Jonah 3: 1-1O.)

(Jonah 3: 1-10.)
And the word of the Lord
came unto Jonah the second
time, saying,
Arise, go unto Nineven,
that great city, and preach
unto it the preaching that
bid thee.
So Jonah arose. and wen,
unto Nineveh. according to
the word of the Lord. Now
Nineveh was an exceeding
great city OF three days jour
ney.
And Jonah began to enter
into the city a days journey
and he cried, and said, Yet
forty days. and Nineveh shall
be overthrown.
So the people Of Nineveh
believed God. and proclaimed
a fast. and put on sackcloth,
from the greatest OF them
even to the least OF them.
For word came unto the
king OF Sineveh. and he arose
from his throne, and he laid
his robe from him. and COW
cred him with sackcloth, and
sat in ashes.
And he caused il to be pro-
claimed and published through
Nineveh by the decree OF the
king and his mobiles. saying.
Let neither man nor beast.
herd nor flock. taste any
thing: let them not feed, nor
drink water:
But let men and beast be
covered with sackcIoth, and
cry nightly unto God: yea
let them turn every one from
his evil way. and from the
violence that is in their
hands.
Who can tell IL God will
repent. and turn away from
His fierce anger, that we per-
ish not?
And God saw their works
that they turned from their
evil way: and God repented
OF the evil that He had said
that He would do unto them.
and He did 1t not.

The title higher critic" is not
a happy description of those TO
whom 1t is usually applied. In
matters of religion they might
better be called "dyspeptics." The
Bible does not agree with them:
they do not have the spiritual
fluids in sufficient quantity to di-
gest the miracle and the super
