Lesson Text Jonah 3:1-10;
4i101I

The Book of jonah is entirely
biographical, giving details of
the doings of a member of the
Jewish race, who was called by
God to preach to the heather peo-
pie in the great city of Ninevah.
Jonah is sometimes referred to
as an allegoricaI character, but 2
Kings I4:25 definitely Identifies
him as historical parsonage
who lived during the reign of
Jeroboam III, probably a short
time before the time of the pro-
phet Amos.
+ When the first call of God
came to Jonah to preach to the
people of NineTeh, the mission
was so utterly displeasing to him
that he fled from his native city,
took ship at Joppa, the princi-
pal seaport of Palestine, intend
ing to sail as far as he could at
that time, to TarshiSh, which is
believed to have been in south
eastern Spain
However, as a punishment for
his unwillingneSS and his diSObe-
dience, a terrible storm arose
while he was at sea. The sailors,
in a panic of fear, decided that
there was some one on board the
ship who was the cause of their
danger. They cast lots and Jonah
was chosen as the cause of the
diSpleaSuFe. He confessed his
guilt and was thrown overheard,
only to be swallowed by a great
fish prepared by the Lord, and
later coughed up by the fish,
fully alive and rational. with a
clear remembrance of all that
had happened to him. While our
lesson is not concerned with this
experience of Jonah, it might be
well to state here that the his
toricity Of this famous event need
no longer be doubted because
50 much indisputable evidence of
different kinds is available today
to confirm the statements of this
record.
A new period in Jonah's life
began after his, experience. He
is thought to have hurried back
to his native city. Jerusalem, to
give thanks to God for his de-
iverance and to resume his
prophetic work. However, a
second call came to Jonah from
God arise, go unto Nineveh.
that great city, and preach unto
it the preaching that / bid thee.
Especially fitted this time for the
task by memory of his remark
able experience, Jonah took ad-
vantage of his second chance to
do the work commanded by God.
His message of warning to the
people of Nineveh that unless
they repented of their sins and
turned unto God, they and their
city would be destroyed, had a
remarkable effect on the people.
They believed his message and
accepted the warning. Even the
king of the peoDIe renented NIT

The tragic fate of Europe should teach
us one economic lesson. A nation that
works will eventually OverpOwer the ma
ton that plays. OF course, the smaller ma
tons will always be at the mercy of the
larger ones if they at any time decide to
be ruthless and abuse their power. Eng
land and France elected to win popular
approval by spending large sums on so
cIal security and cutting down the work
ing hours and lived labcriOus days with
the result that both countries are now
fighting for their very existence. We can
see with the examples before US that we
mast mend our ways, discard the more
.bundant Hfe'' and throw prOfligacy out
of the window. Luckily we are seeing the
ran writing on the wall and are preparing
for eventualTties which will find US ready
if and when they come. To do that We
must make great sacrifices and-wOrk.

Gilbert Ortiz
Returns To Port

Gilbert Ortiz, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Ortiz, OF Tampa, left
over the highway yesterday noon
for Port Everglades, where he is
employed by the Sullivan Ma
chine Shop.
MIR. Ortiz had been spending
several days in the city visiting
friends and relatives and was re-
siding at the home of his uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mr.. Benjamin
Demeritt, 531 Francis street.
Known locally by the nickname
of Dirty Bill, Gilbert was
prominent in sporting circles in
Key West for a number of years
when his family was making its
home in this city.
This was the first visit here
of Mr.. Ortiz in five years. Dur
ing that time ne travelled to Eu-
rope on five trips made by an oil
tanker out of Philadelphia and
was also employed by the P. g. o.

BLITzKRIEG HIT STREETS!

Editor, Key West Citizen:
If something isn't done to
remedy the condition of the
streets soon, the merchants and
business men of this city may
just as well make up their minds
now to face a slump in the tourist
business next winter. No doubt,
the first impression a stranger
gets when he drives in Is that one
of Hitler's Blitzkriegs has taken
place here. Most of the streets
look as though they have been
used for bombing practice.
Every Key West car owner
should fatty refuse to pay the
$500 city tax this year until
something is done to put the
streets in better condition. Even
if the holes are filled with mud
they will be a lot better than they
are now.

One Friday evening recently.

It ;.or Not Ripley stood on the
decks Of the famed Marine
Studies and opened his popular
Columbia Coast to Coast broad
cast.
This was to be one of the most
unusual broadcasts ever made.
Ripley was preparing to don a
divers suit and descend to the
floor of the Oceanarium, where,
with specially installed under
water microphones, he would
broadcast a first-hand impress
sion of the underwater fairy
land.
Every mechanical detail Of this
strange program had been taken
carefully into consideration-but
one.
As Ripley discussed his pro-
posed dive with his 10000, 900
listeners, only a slightly audible
rumble of the surf could be
heard Overhead a blanket OF
stars Shone down from a tropical
Florida sky Suddenly, without
warning, thirty million listening
radio fans heard the faint -drone
of airplane motors. Ripley glanced
upward uncomfortably as the
noise grew louder. The sensitive
microphoneS were picking UP the
motors hum of an Eastern Air
liner enroute from Daytona
Beach to Jacksonville. For a
brief period CONSERVATION ran
riot in the radio control rooms;
Ripley'S voice was all but drown
ed out.
The flight crew and passengers
unknOwingly participated in one
