REV. A. a. REAVLEY WRITES
IMPORTANT BOOK

Rev. A. A. Reavley, former pastor
of what is now Trinity Methodist
church of this place, has written a
book ''The Master and His King
DOM In this book he answers de-
votional, theological. social, political
and economic questions. "The
Kingdom of Cod What, he asks,
is this kingdom? He goes on to show
that despite the fact that the He
brews of the Old Testament had
recognized it and striven for it, the
Jewish teachers of Jesus day mis-
understood His references to the
Kingdom" expecting it to consist OF
material glory, and to come at once.
The authors implication is that
some such misunderstanding exists
today as to the nature of the King
dom of God. He states that some
theologians maintain that Christ
spoke only of his life after death;
others insist that the Kingdom
was prophesied as something which
would come into existence on earth.
The author arrives at the con-
clusion that the righteousness,
of which Christ spoke, is the pri-
mary quality which distinguishes
the Kingdom. In the second half
of the book Rev Mr.. Reavley dis
cusses just what conditions on
earth would bring about a prevail
ing state of righteousness. In seek
ing to establish this he presents the
case for and against Communism,
Socialism and Capitalism, and other
isms. put forth as panacea for ills
of this world
Fordney's Publishers, Inc, 87th
Fifth avenue, New York City, are
publishers Of the book, which sells
for 81. The publication of the book
depends upon the number of ad-
vance orders

proclaimed 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 AS the animals shar-
ed in their masters fast and sor-
row, their believing and bleating
were so many appeals to heaven for
mercy.
V. 8. "But let man and beast be
covered with sackcloth, and cry
nightly unto God; yea, let them
turn every one from his evil way
and from the violence that is in
their hands, The situation called
for drastic measures. This showed
how thoroughly the people believed
the words of Jonah. There is still
power in prayer when it is sincere
and mighty.
V. 9. ''Who can tell if God will
turn and repent; and turn away
from his fierce anger, that we per-
ish not?" The people naturally felt
that the threat of destruction was
not Gods last word. Threats as
we'll as promises are conditional,
and what God will do depends upon
what man does.
V. 10. "And God saw their
works, that they turned from their
evil way; and God repented of the
evil that he said he would do unto
them; and he did it not" Gods
repentance is not like ours. Sorrow
and regret are not implied. COD
changed his attitude when the peo-
pie turned from their wickedness
with real sorrow and repentance.
Here is hope for mankind in gen
eral
Jonah 4:1O. "Then said the
Lord, Thou hast had pity on the
gourd. for the which thou hast not
labored, neither madest it grow;
which came up in the night and per-
ished in a night" Jonah had re-
joiced greatly when the gourd ap-
peared and shaded him from the
hot sun. (See the previous verse;
His regard for the gourd was large
ly selfish, because of the shade it
could afford him.
V. II. "And should not l spare
Nineveh, that great city, wherein
are more than six score thousand
persons that can not discern be-
tween their right hand and their
left hand; and also much CATTLE"
Jonah had regard for trivial, in
sensate thing, and was angry be-
cause it was not spared There was
far greater reason that God should
have regard for the inhabitants of
great city and spare them when
they repented.
