• In teaching this lesson it will be
necessary to sweep into view the en
tire Book of Jonah.
I. Jonah's Call and Commission (Ch.
1:1. 2).
Jonah, a Jew, was called to go and
preach repentance to a Gentile city.
(Gen. 12:1, 2). The story of Jonah
graphically portrays the history of
Israel as a nation. God separated Is
rael to be the channel through which
his mercy and salvation are to be car
ried to all nations. They, like Jonah,
have been recreant to duty. Because
of this, God has caused them to be
swallowed up by the nations which
will one day spew them out upon dry
ground—Palestine. After severe chas
tisement, they will discharge their ob
ligation, and the nations through their
ministry will repent and turn to God.
II. Jonah’s Flight From Duty (1:3).
He turned his back upon God and
attempted to flee from his presence.
In the saige Israel has become an
apostate people.
III. Jonah's Correction (1:4-2:10).
1. Overtaken by a storm (v. 4).
Trouble soon come upon the disobe
dient servant of God. So with the
Jews, misfortune after misfortune
have overtaken them because they
turned from God. They are now tossed
about by the surging of the nations.
2. Cast overboard (v. 15).
In their perplexity the sailors cast
lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Ac
cording to his own direction they cast
him overboard. God had prepared a
great Ilsh which swallowed him.
3. Jonah’s deliverance (Ch. 2).
Jonah in his affliction turned to God
and prayed (James 5:13). God mirac
ulously preserved him while in the
belly of the flsh, and he bus miracu
lously preserved Israel in the heart
of the nations. The flsh could not
digest Jonah, neither can the nations
digest Israel. Jonah repented while
in the flsh. So Israel will repent us
they go into the great tribulation. God
made the fish to vomit out Jonah. So
he will at the proper time cause the
nations to cast out Israel.
IV. Jonah’s Commission Renewed
(Ch. 3).
His experience made him willing to
do God’s bidding.
3. His field (v. 3).
He was to go to Nineveh, a large
city, the people of whilh were cruel.
Israel’s field is the Gentile nations.
2. His message (v. 4).
He was instructed to “preach the
preaching” commanded by God. Forty
days were given to the people in
which to repent. God s supreme desire
Is that all should repent (II Peter
3:9). This message represents the
heart of God in his dealing with sin
ners.
3. Repentance of the Ninevites (vv.
5-8T:-
(1) They believed God (v. 5).
They believed that God was speak
ing to them through Jonah about their
sins, and was announcing impending
judgment. '
(2) They proclaimed a fast (vv. 5-8).
The king and people joined sincere
ly In this movement. They put on
sackcloth, the sign of penitence.
(3) They reasoned that God would
repent (v. 9).
The sending to them of a prophet
encouraged them to believe that God
wbnld show mercy if they repented.
V. Jonah's Behavior (Jonah 4:1-11).
1. He repines at God’s action (vv.
1-8).
He now makes known the real rea
son for his flight from duty. He knew
that the gracious God would spare the
people whol repented. The treatment
of the Israelites at the band of the
Ninevites was such that Jonah did
not want God to forgive them. We
have here a case of a preacher of re
pentance mortified when the people
repent and are pardoned.
2. God reproves Jonah (vv. 4-11).
By means of the gourd God showed
him his error. This Yloslng scene af
fords a striking example of the pa
tience and pity of God Id contrast
with the hard heartedness of

ILDER, YES-BUT SOMETHING MORE.
Chesterfield offers richness, aroma, satisfying
flavor.
BETTER TASTE—that’s the answer; and
that’s what smokers get in Chesterfield in full
est measure—the flavor and aroma of mellow
tobaccos, exactly blended and cross-blended.
Better taste, and milder too!

NAPOLEON LEGEND
HIT BY A SURGEON
Dr. Baudet Denies That He
Had Epilepsy.
Paris.—The persistent legend that
the genius and success of Napoleon
were due chiefly to a condition of
epilepsy has been vigorously attacked
In a lecture recently delivered by Dr.
Raoul Baudet, eminent French sur
geon.
Reviewing the attempts of various
physicians of the past to prove Bona
parte the victim of a malady that in
sured the maintenance of his uncanny
energy and at the same time led him
frequently to adopt the antics of a de
generate, Doctor Baudet scores the un
professional inaccuracy of these medi
cal historians.
He dwells upon the remarks of two
diagnosticians, particularly Lombrosco,
celebrated Italian professor of criminal
pathology at the University of Turin,
who branded the French emperor as
an epileptic and degenerate, and Dr.
Cesav Juarros, a more recent and de
termined exponent of Napoleonic
epilepsy.
Replying to charges made by both
physicians that Napoleon’s sfflictlon
was the natural result of a diseased
ancestry. Doctor Baudet pointed out
that no proof existed to sustain such
a statement; aa for the vague accusa
tions to the effect thst the emperor s
father was a drunkard, hls sister
Pauline wee a chronic hysteric and
hia mother aordtdly avaricious, the
french snrgwMi takes dedalr#
tlon. The father, he attrmn was a

IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING
SOIL FERTILITY.

vital, and I cannot but regard its de
pletion as vandalist and sacrilege.
The good God gave us but one soil,
and He gave it for the use of His
children to the end of time. We are
but hi s trustees in the occupancy and
preservation of the estate of all pos
terity. If we despoil it, if we fail to
maintain it, if we leave it less fruit
ful that we received it, we are un
faithful trustees, and I feel that in
the sight of God we are as culpable
as if we robbed the estate of orphan
children of whom we were made guar
dians by decree of court.
"Spiritual or emotional considera
tions aside, the first rule of all sound
business enterprises is to maintain
the physical plant. Allowance for
depreciation and for replacing wear
and tear is the first charge against
profits;? l it cannot be spent or dissi
pated without inviting bankruptcy.
The soil is the fanner's laboratory
plant, and it must be maintained.
There was a time when increasing
population called for a larger volume
of supplies, and when the greater de
mand enhanced land values more than
soil depletion depressed them. But
we are nearing a state of equilibrium
between population and supplies. We
now have overproduction of nearly
•very prodart and ta every agrfcai-
tuml country Heareforth. the ftret
that we are recreant to the trust im
posed upon us by an allwise Creator
of leaving our soils as good ag we
found them. In other words, that we
have sinned and must sooner or later
pay the penalty, if, indeed, we are
not paying it now.
