Does God Care?

HONSIDER the good reasons Jonah
~ might have given for not going
to Nineveh. They are like the rea.
sons people give nowadays for moi
believing in foreign missions. "a
mission to Nineveh was about al
foreign q mission as any one could
have thought Of. in those days
Reason number one: The
Ninevites were mean people.
So they were. Assyria, Of which
Nineveh was the capital city,
had done. and would do Israel
more harm than any other en-
envy she had.
The Ninevites were an unscrupu.
lous, greedy people. They knew no
law but force. They spread by vic.
lence into many country. They
were the nation nobody loved.
Should the message of God be
given to such city? Jonah thought
Lot; God said it should.
And of course God was right II
the message Of God had been sent
only to peoples and nations that
deserved" such a favor, God 3
messengers would all have stayed
at home.
Too Far From God

was. To reach Nineveh. Jonah
would have to pass through a
least dozen other cities. al
Of which no doubt needed preach.
ers. Were there not enough people
at home who needed preaching? o.
course there were &. Only Jonah
did not preach to them. He had q
wonderful missionary opportunity
there on the ship. Every man Of
the crew was heather. But Jonah
was fast asleep. 5
This IL often too true. People
win protest about foreign mis-
siens: why send preachers and
doctors and teachers and mon
ey % far away? Aren't there
plenty Of heather right Ut home?
OF course; but you won't eften
find the objector to foreign mis-
siOns doing much about IL.
Any church that is awake ant
active in supporting foreign mis-
sions will be found to be just a,
alive and intelligent in meeting tn,
problems Of the neighborhood.
Judge The World
DEASON number three; (Thi!
~ sounds like a silly reason, bu
Jonah actually put it forward
Jonah 4:2) God is too good! Wha
was the use Of preaching to Nineveh
Jonah wanted to know. If God wa,
going to be gracious and not de
stroy the city with fire from tn,
sky?
II God Is good and merciful,
why should we bother about
sending missionaries anywhere?
Won't he save every one any
how? Isn't God too good to
Judge the world?
Jonah overlooked the fact tina
God had mercy on the Ninevite
because they repented. Nowhere il
the Bible is there any encourage
ment to believe that God has mere,
on the unrepentant. To all VIII

fore someone has faced them and made score-you
can do the same by using good common and ap
plying the right step in the present tense.
3. To know what to do and when to do it in crisis
is the ability to decide when others lost in suspense
and VIGOROUSLY make the right in the present
tense.
A. There lot of things in life that some of us
will experience but be braced to force in the
present tense, whatever might put in it's appearance
s. If man would be wise and know how to meet his
struggles and trials intense he would continue show
Improvement his past and live with God in the pre-
sent tense.
6. No, he would not be making so many bunders and
showing such weak Defense he would stop being de-
sent tense.
IF few things in mans past to him seem pretty
fair these the things he delights air. but those
that bring the highest recompene the worthy deeds
performed in the present tense.
g. It takes the mind of Christ to properly motvate
mans neutrality-suspicious. it he acts like who has been
drinking; Christianity only the of pre-

dent with Allen H. Gardner chair
man of a special committee is con-
corning itself mostly with candi-
dates for the County Council. 1t

sible.

Lastly, l should like to thank

In a letter to the press this

For great number of years the

FUR White and Harvey J. White,
the record of Ulysses Griffith III,
and R. Shirley Hayes, a former
member of the House of Delegates
and present candidate for that
office on the Free Democratic Tick
ct.
The Ticket for House of Dele
gates endorsed by the Victory Com
mite is made up entirely of resi-
dents of Silver Spring and Bethes-
da. The Ticket endorsed by the
Free Democrats has two residents
from the upper section of the coun-
ty; namely, R. Shirley Hayes and
myself, Judge DeLashmutt from
the central section of the county,
Charles d. Sanger, Jr., from Sill
yer Spring and Edward S. North
rop and Mrs. Margaret Schwein-
haut from Bethesda. This is a
representative ticket and a ticket
which will gain support from all
sections of the county in the gen.
eral election.
Il do not believe the Democrats
can reasonably expect to beat an
encumbent Upper County Re-
publican if we do not have on our
ticket, in the General Election, one
or more upper County men who are
familiar with and know the prob
lens of the upper county"

On Motorcycles

A small vivaciouS mother OF two
little girls accompanied her hus-
band and his friend on a motor
cycle trip last month which took
the three over the northern route

via the southern route.
Mrs. June Whitaker, her hus-
band Fred and Robert Wolfe, all
Gaithersburg residents, left Mary
land on the sixth of July on motor
cycles, carrying all necessities on
the backs of the machines. The
adventures of the trio were many
and varied. On Bear Tooth Noun
tain in Montana while up nearly
10000 feet the group ran into a
hail storm of such force they were
obliged to pitch tent and huddle
in it until the storm was over.
Some of the stones they report
were nearly an inch thick, and on
an unprotected motorcycle, the eff
feet would be that of someone
throwing gravel with much force,
In the National Parks, the bears
caused much merriment and some
little danger. After receiving food
bear likes to "stick with" his
benefactor. A motorcycle has no
door to slam in a too friendly
bruins face. The proper method
of feeding the bears, according to
Mrs. Whitaker, is to have the
machine ready to start, give the
bear all you have for him, then
quickly gun the machine and leave.
After spending about three weeks
touring the California coast, visit

"revitalizing" the Democratic
Party. In view of the great COP
upset in 1916 there was room for
plenty of revitalizing!
"These young Democrats held a
series of publicly advertised and
loudly proclaimed meetings in

snowfall. The first meeting drew
about 80 Democrats, while the last
one had some 500 party members in

it has performed with commend
