Reason number one: The
Ninevites were mean people.
So they we're. 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 a country. They
were the nation nobody loved.
Should the message of God be
given to such city? Jonah though,
not: 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 favor, God
messengers would all have stayed
at home.
Too Far From God
DEASON number two: Nineveh is
IL a long way off. Indeed il
was. To reach Nineveh, Jonah
would have to pass through al
least a dozen other cities, all
of which no doubt needed preach.
ers. Were there not enough people
at home who needed preaching? OF
course there were s. Only Jonah
did not preach to them. He had a
wonderful missionary opportunity
there on the ship. Every man OF
the crew was a heather. But Jonah
was fast asleep.
This is often too true. People
will protest about foreign mis-
sions: why send preachers and
doctors and teachers and mon
ey so far away? Aren't there
plenty of heather right at home?
OF course; but you won't often
find the objector to foreign mis-
sions doing much about 1t.
Any church that is awake and
active in supporting foreign mis-.
sions will be found to be just as
alive and intelligent in meeting the
problems of the neighborhood.
Judge The World
DEASON number three: (This
- sounds like silly reason, but
Jonah actually put it forward
Jonah 4:2.) God is too good! What
was the use of preaching to Nineveh,
Jonah wanted to know, If God was
going to be gracious and not de.
stroy the city with fire from the
sky?
If God is gend 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 that
God had mercy on the Ninevites
because they repented. Nowhere in
the Bible is there any encourage.
ment to believe that God has mercy
on the unrepentant. To all who
turn to him, God is gracious; and
the job of the missionary. what.
ever else he does, is to persuade
people to turn to God. BE We rec.
to God" said Paul. the
great Christian missionary. II
rebels will not lay down their arms,
how can there be an amnesty?
The great tragedy Of Juda-
Ism Is the tragedy Of Jonah:

the world; but they became In

wish to be q mission Ny faith.
Shall the same tragedy over
take Christianity?

The remarkable and unique
little book of Jonah Is perhaps
the most misunderstood book in
the Bible. Nobody knows how
much ink has been wasted on
the whale (which, incidentally,
was not whale but fish!),
whereas the real message Of
Jonah Is not about whales at all.
1t Is about taking the message Of
God to the most unlikely places

STEPPED-UP EGG
PRODUCTION REQUIRES
INCREASED PROTEIN

You can't skimp on protein in
the laying ration
D. d. Meyer, extension special
ist in poultry at the Ohio State
University, reminds poultry rails
ers that today's birds are bred to
produce more eggs. Therefore
they've got to have a higher per-
centage of protein in the ration.
Meyer says in order to produce to
capacity pullets must have a
total protein intake from all
sources of feed amounting to some
16 to II per cent.
But the poultry specialist points
out that there are number OF
ways of feeding that will give
good results.
Some growers use the all mash
system. When this is followed
16 to IL percent protein mash
should be fed. Where mash
and grain program is used the
mash should contain about 70
per cent protein.
Such system might be corn.
wheat, or oats or a combination
of these grains fed once or twice
a day. If this is done, a little
more than half the total ration
should be 20 per cent protein masn
and the rest grain.
Then there's the free choice
system. To make it work success
sfully, 26 to 80 per cent protein
concentrate is kept before the
birds all the time. Grains, such
as corn, wheat and oats are also
placed in feeders and the birds
balance their own rations.
All of the systems work. But
Meyer warns that in this day of
stepped-up production per bird
it's doubly important to see that
there's enough protein in the ra-
ton.

Gems OF 'hought
Praise of Men

Praise like gold and
diamonds owes its value
only to its scarcity.
Samuel Johnson
Some natures are too
good to be spoiled by
praise, and wherever the
vein of thought reaches
down into the profound,
there is no danger from
vanity
Emerson
We should examine our
selves and learn what is the
affection and purpose of
the heart, for in this way
only can we learn what we
honestly are.
Mary Baker Eddy
Real joy comes not from
ease or riches or from the
praise of men, but from
doing something worth
while. Sir Wilfred Grenfell
Few persons have sufficient
wisdom to prefer
censure, which is useful,
to praise which deceives
them. -Rochefoucauld
Praise too dearly lov'd or
warmly sought,
Enfeebles all internal
strength of thought.
