to create some amphib!an of the

three days?
Revelations Discovered
In the unearthing of the ruins
of Ninevah Psychologists have
made important revelations. These
ruins are on the banks of the
Tigres river, about twelve miles
from the present city of Mosul. 1t
is curious to note that on the posts
of the entrance of the kings pal
ace there are the hieroglyphics of
1.-The man-fish" a head of man
protruding from the mouth of a
monster Ash. Just what relation
this had to do with the appear
anceof Jonah in the city is hard
to say, but probably it was the
rebuke to the idolotators for the
worship of the god Dagon. Any
way the fact that Jonah come out
of fish in miraculous way
helped to wake the sinners Of that
day in cit yof gross immortality
and idolatry. For out of that vast
city OF possibly four million peo-
pie, for in area it was about twice
as large as Boston is to-day there
were 1870, 900 morons and imbeciles,
resultant in perverted sex relations
of the inhabitants. That Is possi-
bly, larger than all population in
the institutions in New England
to-day.
Another reason / believe tho
possibility of fish carrying a man
even in the stomach of great fish.
is that such things has happened
recently. Just out from New Bed
ford on August 25, 1891, large
sperm whale was wounded by a
bomb lance from one of the boats.
The monster in u fury rushed for
ward and struck the boat, Star Of
the East'-a whaler. The sailors
jumped in all directions. James
BARLEY, a steersman, fell into the
jaws OF the whale. The next day
the fish which had been captured
and brought in, was cut open and
they found BARLEY. He had been
in the stomach for SO hours. prob
ably kept alive by the heat OF the
monster-the same as with Il pre-
natal baby.
"The great lesson to be learned
in the story of Jonah is the resur-
rection power of God which can
lift us from our sins-as Christ
was raised from the dead. There
will be more responsibility upon Us
in this age with the background
of two thousand years of Gospel
light. than the Ninevites who
CROPPED in their ignorance and lack
Of spiritual leadership" The hall
was filled with a large crowd and
Commandant Alfred Vincent, COM
manding officer, Is highly pleased
with results.
