Jonah, giving him a second chance;
and with Nineveh, giving them 40
days warning of their impending
DOOM; and then how tenderly He
dealt with the sulking prophet out
side the city wall until He could
make him see His way.
III. Application
There are many applications that
could be made to our own lives as
result Of our study Of this wonder
full little book; but of them we shall
choose only two.
1. There is no way to escape God.
He is everywhere present. Jonah
had an idea that Jehovah was the
God Of the Jews only, and, therefore,
would be confined to Jewish terri
tory. To go to sea and thence to
Tarshish would take him out of Je-
hcvah's presence. He spared the
idea Of the heather that a deity was
only local. He learned differently.
He might have LEANED it from David,
who sang "Whither shall I flee from
Thy presence? If 1 ascend int3
heaven, Thou art there: if I make
my bed in hell, behold! Thou are
there" etc. Psa. 139i7-10).' But he
had to learn it from experience, and
Jonah found God when he found
hmimself, and found Him a God who
could not be confined within the
borders of any nation, but who was
omnipresent.
2. Gods mercy is too great also to
be confined to any one nation. Jonah
was an intense patriot. He loved
his own nation. He knew God to
b.. gracious, and he ran away from
Nineveh because he was afraid God
would have Nineveh, and the saliva
ton Of that great people might mean
the loss Of Israel. That's why he
pouted outside the city when they
repented; he was not cruel in want
ing Nineveh destroyed, but he loved
Israel more. He was d narrow
bigoted Jew who was refusing to do
what God had chosen his nation to
do, "a light. to tighten the heather"
Jonah learned the great lesson-the
lesson of the book-and for which
purpose it was written by the Holy
Spirit for us-that God loves every
man regardless Of race, condition, or
color; and is not willing that any
should perish. but that all should re-
pent and be saved. Have you learn
ed that lesson?
A prominent Bible teacher says he
reads the book of Jonah at least
once every week, and that he never
closes it without an overpowering
serse of Gods love and mercy. Yes,
our God is wonderfully kind, and
wants you to be saved, too.

IS LORD KITCHENER
NOW LIVING in
RUSSIA?

LONDON, March-is Lord Kitchener
Kitchener of Khartum-really dead
He sailed away on the Cruiser Hamp-
shire in June 1916, leaving the Grand
Fleet in its snug retreat at Scapa Flow.
In those war days all shipmovements
were shrouded in mystery. Little by
little the fact that the Hampshire had
gone down at sea leaked out. The cen
sorship was still close. Little was
told AS far as, the world ever knew
only half dozen battered sailors, half
dead, were picked up. The great cruiser,
with half thousand men, disappeared.
The secrecy surrounded the tragedy
fed the rumors. Kitchener, the hero of
the Soulan, of India, of South African
campaigns without numbers, was Il hero
to the British empire. The early years
of the war had been marked by bicker-
ings over his conduct of the war. There
was much jealousy among the men
in authority in the empire.
All of these things combined to throw
screen about the disappearance of
Kitchener and the Hampshire. Kit
chener's reputation for silence and mys-
terry deepened the feeling.
Even today, nearly six years after
the tragedy, hundreds of old women
and men too, for that matter-refuse
to believe that the great field marshal
is really gone from the world.
'sKitehener deade Rot, J, OF course
he's not. Why, everybody knows that
he is really alivetand in Russia battling
secretly with ar army of unobtrusivc

visits. You hear that tale anywhere
you like in London.
To those dear odd ladies who belong
by rights to thevtarly Victorian era the
field marshal is very much alive. Such
IA thing as bis sSAeath' they cannot and
will not understand. They will tell you
that the sinking of the Hampshire was
Il "'blind = and that all the crew and
staff of that battleship are working
now in Russia with the Silent Mar,
shall @
Unfortunately it has been proven that
the Hampshire struck a mine and that
Kitchener went down with her. That is
now accepted by the great majority of
sane thinking people both here and in
France, where for II long time the
rumors of Kitchener s resurrection were
really believed.
That. hasn t put stop, however, to
the amazing series of Kitchener yarns
which are. still talked of in clubs and
private homes throughout London and
all the empire.
On the other hand spiritualists, in
fluenced by the writings of such men
as Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle and others, are still today hold
ing regular seances at which the
spirit of Kitchener appears and tells
inner secrets of the great war. At one
of these meetings the other day exit
chener' is said to have described his
feelings as the great cruiser lurched

MECHANICAL COTTON
PICKING MACHINE
DEMONSTRATED

CALEXICO, March 23.-In the pres
ence of a crowd Of cotton growers, me-
chanical experts, agricultural depart
n,ent officials and others interested in
the business of raising and marketing
cotton, there was demonstrated at the
A. M. Shenk ranch, 20 miles south of
Mexicali, mechanical cotton picker,
that is acclaimed by all who saw the
degree.
The demonstration was given by
Messrs. p. M. Davidson and r. p.
Hankey, experts connected with the
sales department. of the manufacturers
of the machine; George Hartman, the
designer, and Edward Hasselbach, me-
chanical expert of the company. The
demonstration it was announced mt the
start was, not under the most favor
able conditions. The field in which the
machine was put to work was of rank
growth and had been handpicked
twice; the stalks in the field ranged to
9 height of five feet and in great
many crows were matted and inter
locked. But despite these handicaps
the machine on it's caterpillar traction
feet moved steadily through the field
and absorbed every speck and flake of
cotton in sight and did it in less time
than it would take a half dozen hand
Dickers 20 cover, less than half the
ground.
Mr.. Shenk was the host at an elab
crate dinner served at the ranch house
to all those present and q number of
speeches of congratulation and felicita.
tion were made. Manager Clark, of the
G. M. ranch, in an impromptu address
gave publicity to bit of important in
formation that was received with a
great deal Of enthusiasm He announced
that the C. M. ranch had planted and
expected to harvest 100000 bales Of
prime cotton this fall, which is large
iy in excess of any crop heretofore
gathered on the ranch. Mr.. Shenk also
stated that he would harvest 10000
acres this year and that the mechanical
cotton picker would gather every pound
of the three-quarters of bale to the

beneath his feet and began to settle to

another he is credited with having told
at large the inner secrets of the am
munition troubles of 1915. At another
he is supposed to have given away the
plans of the general staff for the allied
ENTRY into Berlin The '.sayings'
of the great man are repeated, but
they sound so childish and absurd that
the dead soldier would turn in his ocean
grave were he to hear them.
That dOesn t prevent hundreds of
people believing Kitchener name is
still one with which to coniure, and any
thing which appears either in the news
papers or in the gossip of the clubs is
retailed, enlarged upon, and of course

Kitchener type (supposing it were
possible for him to manifest himself
after death) with such a statement as:
- am the man of iron. Kitchener
from his watery grave holds converse
with YOU now
Kitchener never talked dramatically
He called spade a spade and let it

his friend that in the event of his be-

a sign. He kept his promise. At the
very hour when he met his death, a
wooden coat of arms of Kitchener s
family in the Hamon home, in the music
room, where the count was sitting at
the time, fell, splintered in half, from
ITS place on the wall.
; = know that Kitchener died at that
very moment,' Hamon says.
