MANY MODERN

WAR IN PALESTINE
Country, as in Days of Scrip
ture, Is Center of Whole

.
The name of Jonah is good for a
smile in almost any company. The
slang: phrase "He's a Jonah," is com
mon among: myriads who do not know
the first word of the story of the run
away prophet. Other masses of peo
ple merely have a dim notion that
Jonah brought bad luck to a ship;
was thrown overboard and Bwallowed
by a whale, of which more anon.
Now, by the choice of the Jonah
story by the International I.esson
Committee, there Is put squarely up
to the millions of members of the
Sunday school the realisation that
there are modern preachers and
teachers who are Jonahs In two
senses. In that they encumber the
gospel ship and run away from their
divine mission and message. Pur
posely or not, there are a host of
Christians who are modern Jonahs in
the first two phases of that prophet's
experiences Thank God, there are
also men who represent Jonah in the
third and victorious stage of his
work.
The thing that is most wrong with
our day is that our prophets haven't
given us their uttermost message.
They have declined to declare the
whole counsel of God. They have
put human comfort before divine
commands. They have sought their
own ease rather than served their
divine mission. Let us admit it frank
ly, that many of us have shrunk from
the hard places in kingdom service.
There are a score of applications for
the pulpit of every prosperous church
with a good salary which becomes va
cant. but the difficult fields go un
manned. What is this but the case of
Jonah over again?
Perhaps our present universal
shake-up will be the big fish exper
ience for our modern Jonahs. Out
of the travail of the world's woe we
may hope to see new prophets emerge.
All great spirits are suffering heavi
ness of heart because this "collapse
of civilization" has come to pass while
the church idled complacently along
about petty concerns.
To-day In Old Vinevali
Nobody has yet attempted to ex
plain why the currents of world war
and of universal human interest are
once again setting in toward Btble
lands. Palestine is anew, as In the
days of Scripture, the center of the
whole earth. Military movements and
diplomatic struggles converge on the
scenes of the Bible story. Perhaps
the great God ha* designed some new
revelation of Himself in the ancient
land of Abraham. Does this converg
ence of events upon sacred soil por
tend a new crisis for humanity? Cer
tainly there Is a new dramatic rela
tion betwen the daily newspapers and
the inspired Scripture.
A novelist could soarcely Imagine
a more melodramatic situation than
that now beheld in the exile of the
Armenian survivors to the city of
Mosul; for Mosul Is directly across
the river from the ruins of Ninevah,
and connected therewith by a bridge
of boats. Women of Mosul do their
laundering on the eastern banks of
the Tigris and spread their clothes to
dry beneath the ruined walls of the
ancient capital of Assyria, the city
of Jonah. This city, to which the
Children of Israel were later driven,
is now the destination of hunted and
harried Armenian survivors.
As these persecuted Christians in
1915 look upon the vast ruins of the
once great city, even as I myself
have stood upon the remains of Sen
nacherib's palace and viewed them,
will they recall the ancient proph
ecies, and remember, that while God's
Justice may seem slow, it never fails
to run. Ninevah crumbled to dust
is God's testimony that His word is
sure, and that His people will be pre
served.
Where Jonah's Name Lives
I found at Ninevah a startling thing.
The great city—and its greatness may
still be seen in the ruined walls trace
able from the heights of the palace
ruins—is now levelled to earth and un
occupied. The only life in it is one
little village, and this is called "Neby
Yunis." which Is the Arabic for
"Prophet Jonah." The village is
built about a sacred mosque over the
ruins of an ancient church which
contains the reputed site of Jonah's
tomb. The sheik of the mosque es
corted me down to see Jonah's grave.
It is poetic justice that after twenty
eight centuries the name of Jouah
should still persist on the site of his
preaching; while that of Ninevah's
kings is lost.
This is not the place to go into the
question of the historicity of the book
of Jonah. Whether it be a literal
record or an allegorical homily, as
modern critics contend, its message
is one and the same. No point of
fact named in the story is lmpossi- j
ble.
That Whale
Mountains of good paper have
been spoiled by absurd dissertations
on the point that a whale's mouth is
not large enough to admit the body
of a man, and that, therefore, Jonah
could not have been swallowed by
the whale. Well, who says he was?
Certainly not the Book of Jonah.
The translators of the King James'
version did fall Into the error, in the
one New Testament allusion to Jonah,
of translating the Greek word "great
sea monster" Into the biggest thing
of which they had personal knowl
edge, which was a whale; but the ori
ginal books in both the Old ad New
Testaments use the word "great sea
monster." It is a matter of scientific
demonstration that there are, or have

been, such great fishes. For that mat
ter, the Book says that God "pre
pared' a great fish, which phrase in
itself eliminates all difficulties for de
vout souls who do not balk at miracles.
It seems like a device of the evil one
that the real message pf the Jonah
story should be obscured by the figure
of a whale, which has no business In
the picture.
Jonah, who was a mature man, a
sort of court chaplin in the palace
of Jeroboam, king of Israel, was call
ed to a foreign mission, to preach
repentence to Ninevah. Ho ran away
from his duty and took ship for the
West. When a storm arose, and the
sailors began to consider who was
responsible for the wrath of the gods,
Johan's manhood reasserted itself,
and he offered himself as a sacrifice
to the waves. When the storm did
not abate, he was thrown overboard)
and found refuge for three days, or
pnrts of three days, in a cavity—the
word does not necessarily mean stom
ach—of a great sea rrtonster. He
was cast up on the shore that he had
lnft. I have visited the shrine near
Sldon which the Moslems maintain
to mark the very spot where they say
Jonah came ashore.
This experience of stress taught
Jonah his lesson. He went back to
Israel, and thence overland to the
Tigris and down the river—probably
on a kelek, or goatskin raft, which
is still the present fashion—until he
reached Nlnevah, the then capital of
the world. He had been disobedient
to his first call, but so 'great is the
patience of God, that He often gives
men a second chance t< do their
duty. When Jonah gave up his
pride for obedience, he won a success
in Nlnevah that makes a modern
"Billy" Sunday revival seem small.
What Ails Our Cities ?
Like many a pastor of a downtown
church, whose prosperous members
I leaving, Jonah wanted to run
away from a hard Job. There is scarce
ly any other test of faith like that of
a great city. It represents in our
time the convergence of all moral and
political and religious problems. The
heart-lireaklnK difficulty of Christian
i work which envisages a whole city,
■ is known only to those who are in
the thick of the tight. Yet it is In
I the greatest cities that the greatest
. victories must be won for God.
All profound students of the city
problem perceive that religion is Its
one hope of final solution. The mod
-1 ern city task is not so
easy as Jonah's; his work Is many
sided, and ever tends to dissipate him
from his primary task of preaching
repentance. He has to think in large
units, for parochialism Is a primary
peril of city churches. Not all Chris
tians have learned to weep over the
city as their Master did. The more
prevalent fashion is to move to the
suburbs whea conditions 4frow un
comfortable. Still the need abides,
and those who dare to remain for
the task are confronted with the de
mand for new methods of presenting
the old Message.
Going to the Hard Places
The Lesson Committee designates
this as a foreign uxuision lesson.
Ninevah Is to represent the need and
call of the world outside Christen
dom. Jonah has been termed the
first foreign missionary. Dean Stan
ley calls him "the first apostle to the
Gentiles." What he was reluctant :
to do, our own time has attempted
more courageously, as notable meet- i
ings this winter of the Laymen's Mis
sionary Movement illustrate. We have
dared to go up against heathendom '
with a victorious message of God's
love. "Woe is me If I preach not the
Gospel," has come to many men, ma
ture as well as young. Only recently
the rector of one of the most fash
ionable churches In Philadelphia of
fered himself to his mission boards for
service in the Philippine Islands.
As even Ninevah repented under
Jonah's preaching, so also both the
CASTORIA for Infantum! Children. Boars the ,/rrs, "T"*
Till Kird You Have Always Bought of
modern city and heathen lands are
succumbing to the gospel message.
The story of "Billy" Sunday's work
In America, and George Sherwood Ed
dy's work In Asia, are worth study
ing in connection with the Jonah
narrative. Great mass movement*
towurd Christianity are undter way
in India, especially, but also in Chin*
and In Africa.
"I may not stay to see the day
When the great Saviour shall bear
sway.
And earth shall glitter In the ray
That cometh from above;
•But come It fast, or come it alow.
'Twill come at last, I surely know.
And heaven and earth shall feel the
glow,—
And men shall call It Love."
