Remem- ber? os IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS (Warrington (Ont.) Eeho) Ladies wore bustles. Monday was washday. Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody had appendicitis. There was no traffic cop. Everybody played croquet. There were no bolsheviks. Men sported wire whiskers. Nobody worked but Father. Tce cream was “ieed” cream. Nobody was ashamed to walk. Boys’ shoes were copper toed. Cream was five cents a pint. Vitamin gauges were unknown. Saturday night was bath night. No one was fined for speeding. Widows’ weeds weren't cigarettes. Only smali boys wore short pants. Nobody was told, “The line is busy!” The livery stable was the secial circle. Nobody cared for the price of gasoline. Farmers came to town for their mail. No one had to look for a parking place. Chickens all went to roost at sundown. The shieks all lived in Arabia or Turkey. Paper and celluloid collars were popular. Beer was 5 cents a glass, including lunch. Food stuffs came in bulk, not in packages. Women wore bathing dresses, not undresses. Ladies used side saddles, not the whole road. Candies for the girl cost her fellow 15c a bag. Sehool teachers “licked” pupils good and plenty. Everybody went to church, or to Sunday. The boyish form was displayed only by the boy. A girl was mostly bustle behind, not bustle ahead. They bobbed your hair only after they got you in jail. The hired girl drew $1.50 a week and did the washing. Girls set their caps—not their knee-caps— for a man. Oyster suppers and church socials were 25¢ a throw. Moving pictures happened only at cleaning time. ~ The melodeon—not radio—supplied the family music. Females all wore corsets—at least we think they did. Statistics were merely a mathematical study at school The hired man got a dollar a day for ’steen hours—and earned it. They didn’t have to hire a big husky man to teach boys how to play. Ladies’ clubs were the Ladies’ Aid, Sewing Circle and the rolling-pin. There were no crooners, except Mother, when she rocked her restless baby to’ sleep. Women’s skirts trailed as much material be- "low theig feet as they don’t now above. People used to arise and retire on the same day; now they retire and arise on the same day. People took a tonic when down, now they usually take an ambulance or the hearse. sleep on house- THE: KEY WEST CITIZEN JONAH: THE OUTREACH OF GOD’S LOVE International Sunday School Les- son for June 30, 1940 Golden Te: “Salvation is of Jehovah”.—Jonah 2:3. Lesson Text-/Jonah 3:1-10; 4:10.41 The Book of Jonah’ is entirely biographical, giving details of the doings of a member of the Jewish race, who was called by God to preach to the heathen peo- ple in the great city of Ninevah. Jonah is sometimes referred to as an allegorical character, but 2 Kings 14:25 definitely identifies him as a historical personage who lived during the reign of Jeroboam III, probably a_ short «time before the time of the pro- phet Amos. When the first call of God came to Jonah to preach to the people of Nineveh, the mission was so utterly displeasing to him that he fled from his native city, took a ship at Joppa, the princi- pal seaport ef Palestine, intend- ing to sail-as far as he could at that time, to Tarshish, which is believed to have been in south- eastern Spain. However, as a punishment for his unwillingness and his disobe- dience, a terrible storm arose while he was at sea. The sailors, in a panic of fear, decided that there was some one on board the ship whe was the cause of their danger. They cast lots and Jonah was chosen as the cause of the displeasure. He confessed his guilt and was thrown overboard, only to be swallowed by a great fish prepared by the Lerd, and later coughed up by the fish, fully alive and rational, with a clear remembrance of all that had happened to him. While our lesson is not coneerned with this experience of Jonah, it might be well to state here that the his- toricity of this famous event need no longer be doubted because so much indisputable evidence of different kinds is available today to confirm the statements of this record. A new period in Jonah’s life began after his experience. He is thought to have hurried back to his native city, Jerusalem, to give thanks to God for his de- liverance and to resume his Prophetic. work. However, 2 second call came to Jonah from God. “Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee”. Especially fitted this time for the jtask by memory of his remark- 2ble experience, Jonah took ad- vantage of his second chance to do the work commanded by God. His message of warning to the people of Nineveh that unless they repented of their sins and turned unto God, they and their city would be destroyed, had a remarkable effect on the people. They believed his message and accepted the warning. Even the king of the people repented, put- We Roast, Blend and Grind BRAND COFFEE to Please Your P: F te ORDER YOUR POUND TODAY ‘WO One they were run | The most prominent part of an attractive girl | was bustle and frill; now its hustle and thrill.

We are not so naive as yet to believe Hitler's declaration that the Americas “are a far-off country” and ne concern of his or his people. The mere fact that he thought of us being toe far away, makes us suspicious.

The Bible said they turned from their “vio- lence”, which was the outstand- ing cfime ef the city’s . bleody history. When God really _ en- ters a man’s heart, that man, or woman: -a€ ned,“ Without questioning, just what things in his, or her, life which is wrong and which must be given up. Seeing their repentance that they had turned from their evil way, God repented of “the evil. which he said he would do unto them; and he did it not”. While it is evident that the re- pentance of the . Ninevites was not so long-lasting, because they soon went back to their former ways, God forgave them, as he forgives us, being anxious to ex- tend his grace to them. The action of God, seems to have been pleasing unto Jnoah. Being a Jew, first and foremost, Jonah icould not escape the nationalistic feeling common to his race and apparently could not help but delight in the misfortunes which came to those of other races round about. When. God spared the city of Nineveh, Jonah be- came despondent and grieved, for he felt that God had lost a good opportunity of wiping out a city which would some day be- come the enemy of the Jews. Instead of delighting in the sal n of the people of Nine- veh and going back to his work in Jerusalem with good heart, Jonah sulked. God remonstrated with him because of his anger, but to no avail. To protect him ‘from the intense heat of the desert sun, God caused a vine to grow up over his head with al- most magical swiftness. Pleased Jonah greatly. but. quickly as it grew, God caused it to wither. This angered the prophet so much, that he ex- pressed a wish to die. Jonah had ;lest his sense of perspective. He was displeased when God sav- ed the lives of thousands of peo- ple from destruction, but “took great content” when the same God provided safety from the burning sun for his own comfort. God said, “Thou hast had regard for the govrd, for which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow;. . And should not I have regard for Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six ;Score thousand persons. . .?” Dr. Campbell Morgan declares: “God cares for the suffering, the dying, the dead world. Whatever the conditions of men may be, or whatever the sin, the voice of God is heard, saving, ‘Should not I have pitv?” Both Jonah and Jesus beheld the city and wept over it. Thus the voices of Jonah teday calls us not only to know God. but to be in sympathy with him, to’ feel his pitv. to carry out his activity and to show to men what a God he really and however, very dis- Jan leaned forward, her as >€ CHURCH White and Washington Streets John C.
