Latest Announcements of Church News, Activities and Services 'Sunday School Lesson BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSO! JEHOVAH'S MERCY TO A HEATHEN CITY. Jonah, 3.1-4, 11. Golden text—Let the wicked forsake their way, and the un- righteous man his thoughts, | and let him return unto Jeho- vah, and He will have mercy | upon him; and to our od, for | He will ‘abundaptly pardon— | Isaiah i Our attention is focused in this les- %on upon one of the most significant books of the Old Testament. It is the misfortune of men that this wonder- ful book is assoclated in the minds of men with the incident related of the part taken by the great fish in pro- viding transportation and safety in 1f the two verses connected with this event were cut out of the record, the great les son of Jonah would not be “Its marvelous missionary mes a _far greater “miracle than the story of the fish,” which .Jesus treated as istory, making it symbolical of His »wi burial and resurrection from the dead. It is the tragedy of literature that n of God in the Old Testament, which is recorded in Jonah, should be lost in_ studying the details of the story. which teils of Jehovah's wonderful love for hu- manity embracing all nations, even those who are the enemies of our own land. If we turn aside to con- | sider the various questions that have arisen from the study of this little book to perplex the earnest scholar and reverent scientists, we too will fail to behold what is vividly revealed by Go#s attitude toward Nineveh. The nw rative, for it is not & book of proph#\c discourses, contains a spir- itual ~4velation of God's love for all natief8 of the earth that gives it a plasd among the works of the prophets. Jonah, whose preaching during the reign of Jereboam II enabled the lat- i ter to restore the ancient boundaries and prestige of lIsrael, is the central figure. His father was Amittai. The prophetic statesman is reputed to have been the son of the widow of Zarephath, who cared for Elijah in his extreme need. Tradition tells us how he ministered unto Elijah and that he was sent to anoint Jehu. He was the first of the prophets to b sent upon a missionary journey to a Gentile or heathen city. The mess to Jon; s the same as the foreign missionary idea of Christianity. First Forelgn Misslonary. The strongest men, physically, mentally and morally, are needed for the foreign field. The man whose moral fiber will not break amid the isolation of heathenism is the only one fit to represent the church abroad. Many a minister can succeed in a friendly environment who would be a colossal failure in mission work. It takes a heroic soul to stand the strain of the first two vears away from home, learning the language under friendiy guidance so that it will be of service in winning men for irist and the church. No board would think of sending out a mis- sionary who was not thoroughly pre- pared ‘for the work to win men for the Master. be- selected Jonah to ary to a people who s had ground Israel their iron heel, the prophet lined. As long as his ministry along national 1 he was will- to obey the Di commands for two centuri ing When the call came for him to go to ine a foreign field hie tried to put the whole world between him and his Guty. He was called to Assyria. but he took a ship bound for Spain. Tsrael had a duty to proclaim her message about Jehovah, for God had assured Abraham that “in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.” but the people had forgotten their nobler and lofty mission. Many like Jonah would have resented being called to give their reiigious mes- sage outside of their nation. There are many professed followers of Christ Jesus who are indifferent to the great commission. The gospel is not for us only. but for all the world, and no Christian_or church can be true to the Lord if they neglect to do their part in the missionary program, which He has given to His followers. Jonah gives us in the reasons for his refusal in 4.2. He knew that God was gracious and full of compassion. He feared that upon the first evidence r repentance God would exhibit mercy and go back upon His threat- ening to destroy the city. He was un- willing to do anything that would avert the doom of Nineveh, which symbolized_Assyria, whose growing power had been for two centuries a constant menace to and he feared the effect fel countrymen of the tidings of Divine clemen He believed that it would encouraze Israel to continue in their evil conrse, if they learned that the stern threatenings of God could eas- be ily be evaded. “He was jealpus for hesitate 1o use men and women who have failed. He new opportunitiex, o that we ms of the former days. lack confidence in when Wwe have failed them, but God recails us to His serviee after have sinned against Him. provided, like Jonah, we ve given Lo Him some evidence of our repentance. God did not reprove the JMen yprophet for his former retusal and dis- obedience. He recognized thut there could be no better preacher of repent- ance than one who had himseif re- pented: Our Lord allows us to suffer for our mistakes, but He never discharges His servants because of their errors. The second chance is never as good as the first opportunity. Jonah was no longer disohedient to the heavenly vision. God called him again. This time he went boldly to preach the message, which Jehovah had given him. It took cour- are for a prophet of lsrael to,enter tae wicked city and fearlessly proclaim the message of their coming distruction. “Thus saith the rd: Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” ‘The river is colored by the soil tLrough which its waters pass. Every preacher, prophet and poet colars with his person- ality the message he receives from the Lord. , There was no love in the voice of the provincial Jew, who called Nineveh to repentance by his sonl-stirring mes- sage of warning. The miracle of tae book is that the peaple of that ancient city, which has been fo and buried for over 2,500 years, should be- lieve Jonah's message. His dress and dialect were peculfar, but hig startling speech aroused the evildoers, who are, as a rule, cowards when they face pun- isament. While there was nothing In the attitude or tone of Jonah's warn- ing, vet the people and the king clearly perceived that the ms e of warning was also one that offered hope. Nineveh's repentance starfed with the people, but it reached the throne. It was the king who suggestt that pos- sibly God might vet spare them. If Jonah had told them of his experience, how, after trying to escape preaching to them, he was rescued from his ejtraor- dinary prison in the great fish, this might have encouraged them to hop for another chance if they repented. {The revival swept over the city with gheat rapidity, s¥ that the king and the pedple repented in sackcloth and they beliewed God. They put away their evil wans and called unto God for mercy. The jcupacity for the neathen to receive th Gospel was demonstrated by the Nine- vites. Genuine repentance is certain to recelve pardon and forgiveness today as then. The one who turns in faith to God, seeking forgiveness and mercy in the name of the Lord Jesus, will receive the same, for there is joy in thelpres- ence of the amgels in heaven over one sinner that repenteth. When God saw that the city had indeed repented and turned from their evil ways, then “God repented of the evil” which Jonah had announced unto them. There was no difficulty in the relenting of Jehovah, when He observed their genuine repentence and heard their sincere cry. His at- titude toward men Is always condi- tional and contingent upon man's at- titude toward Him. The universality of God's love and mercy is what as- sures to the repentant sinner in every land today the fulfillment of the golden text—"Let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah,” and He will have mercy upon him: and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Fundamentally, God is not a man, that He should lie, or the son of man, that He should repent.” He has two permanent pur- poses in all His dealings with men. One | xinner. obsting wicked Jonah was displeased at the turn of events. Gne of the most awful pictures of the Bible is that of the prophet sitting upon the hill upon the east side of Nineveh, under a booth which he had erected to protect: him from the heat of the sun, watch- ing and walting for God to destroy the city. God's merey extended to his prophet so He drew near and had a personal talk with his servant. He used nature to comfort Jonah and teach him how much Nineveh ‘neant to God. The gourd that brought comfort and grief was used to reveal to the prophet how God had watched over the development of the great city and given to Nineveh its place of power. His love for the heathen city called for Him to be merciful when its destruction meant the suffering of over 120,000 innocent children, who were not responsible for the sins of their parents, as well as the cattle. The brute beasts and children ought to be spared, if it were possible. God's confidence in His servant is revealed by His penetrating question which He left to the prophet to an= swer for himself. The supreme m. sage of Jonah is what the world ne: v this hour, when the wounds of a world war are being healed. His love hath provided a salvation for all men. His program calls for the evangelization, enlistment and education of every man. There never s an hour like the present for win- ing the world for the Lord Jesu: We are called to either go or give so that the gospel may be preached unte the uttermost parts of the earth. The challenge of the hour of oppor- tunity calls for heroic: service and sacri Let us recognize our strategic position in America. God has brought the foreigner to our doors.

Concluding his statement, Brent says: “We Christians have serious busi- ness ahead of us. It is the Church of God that alone is commissioned and empowered 1o create u con- science in men that will make for brotherhood. The Christian preacher has it as his inalienable duty to in- terpret Christ’s teaahinis in terms of the whole world family. We are on the crest of the wave of opportunity. The immediate and concerted action of the churches will decide whether the world is to back-slide or pro- gress. Progress does not control us; we control progress.

The Wash- ington conference has done its work. It has started the nations facing to- ward a warless world. It has turned the attention of the world to plans for the practice of permanent peace. It has brought within the range of practical possibllity the ending of competitive navies, the serapping of many capital ships and large reduc- tion in naval expenditures. “The churches have rendered not- able service during recent months, | | march of mankind toward a warless world.
