' / ^ SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON XIII JONAH: THE OUTREACH OF GOD'S LOVE â€" Jonah 3, 4 Printed Text, Jonah 3:1-10; 4:10, 11 Golden Text â€" "Salvation )• of Je- hovah." Jonah 2:9. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tlui(» â€" Jrmali lived (lurlug the reign of Jeroboam 11, who reigned from 700 lo 750 B.C. Place â€" The even in of tiie last two chapters of this book occurred at and just outside of the city ol Nincvah, located on the east bank of tha upper Tigris Hlver. In this lesson we mako a study of gre;'t revivals â€" considering the character of the messenger, the fundamental elements of the mes- sage, the power with which the message Is conveyed, the evidences that a peopla are under the convic- tion of sin, a true turning to Clod, and tba ultimate abiding conse- (luences of a revival after the par- ticular period of preaching is over. The question might well bo asked whether the revival in Jonah's day bad the same fundamental elements that revival must have in our day. 2 Kings l-»:25 definitely Identi- fies the prophet Jonah as au definitely identifies Jonah as an historical personage who lived flhortly before the time of the pro- phet Amos. Jonah was a native of Gathepher In Galilee, situated just four miles north of Nazareth. And when Jonah was first called to go to the great city of Nineveh and prophesy, the mission was so utter- ly distasteful to him that he fled from the presence of the Lord, took ship at Jeppa, intending to sail to Tarshish, which is probably to bo identified with Tartessus In south- eastern Spain. The rest of the story Is familiar to everyone. lilS SECOND COMMISSION Jonah 3:1. And the word of Je- hovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying. 2. Arise, go unto Nin- eveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee, Nineveh was the last eastern capital of the Assyrian empire. Jo- mah's mission to Nineveh took place aftw his wonderful deliver- ance. 3. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nlnevah, according to the woi-d of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an ex- ceeding great city, of three days' Journey. 4. And Jonah be- gan to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said. Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall he overthrown. Jonah's sermon was exceedingly brief, consisting of a clear, definite, easily understood announcement of the Imminent de- struction of the city. The sentence upon Nineveh was conditional; If the people repented, their city then could be saved. THE GREAT REVIVAL 5. And the people of Nineveh be- lieved God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 And the tidings reached the king of Nlnevah, and he arose the king of Nineveh, and ho arose from him, and covered him with sackcloth and sat in ashes. 7. And he made proclamation and publish- ed throughout Nineveh by the de- cree of the king and his nobles, saying, I>ot neither man nor beast, herd or flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water; 8. but let them be covered with sack- ciotb, both man and beuat, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them tiirn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that Is In his hands. 9. Who know- eth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? JONAH, THE "SIGN" The effect of the preaching of Jo- nah was simply phenomenal. One prophet of the true God changed a city of probably 600,000 perople, for generations worshippers of th« false gods, to one crying for mercy to Jehovah. Jonah was not only a prophet delivering by word of mouth the message of destruction which God had given him, but he was a sign unto the Nlnevites (Luke 11:29-32). Perhaps the amaz- ing story of Jonah's deliverance from death made the people of Nin- eveh aware of God's wondrous way of showing his grace to the guilty who turn to him and trust him. 10, And God saw their works. that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil which ha said he would do imio lliem; and he did It not. SHOULD f NOT PITY? Jonah 4:10. And Jehovah said. Thou has iiad regard for the* jiourd for whicli thou has not laboreii. neither raadesl It grow; which rame up in a night ; and perished In a night: 11. and should not I bave regard for Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six- •rnre thousand persons (hat can- not discern between their right Iiaiid and their left hand; and also much rattle?

"THEY SHALL NOT PASS" British history is a proud re- cord of victory won in the face of overwhelming odds, victory achiev- ed by the stubborn slow strongtli of a people not easily or quickly roused. The past is rich In episodes that tell the same inspiring story. And from the days when King Alfred earned his title "Tlie Great" by turning long years of defeat into final victory, over thn invading Danes â€" from tlie Uay.^ when the sea-dogs of Drake smashed the tow- ering threat of Spain's Armada â€" from Trafalgar, whore Nelson broke Napoleon's naval might in the face of great odds â€" from ear- liest history to the present day, each challenge lo British freedom hat proved nu inspiration to B :â-  lish courage. Such episodes as these form the fliema of the now jerlas of dram- atic features, "They Shall Not Pass"! •which will bo presented over the CBC's National Network e ich Wednesday evening, 10:00 to 10:80 p.m. ED8T. They will remind Canadians that they share in a tra- dition of unconquerable courago, that has never counted odds or cost when the real test has come.

Farm Notes . . . PASTURING TIPS According to J. C. Steckley, director of the Western Ontario Experimental Farm, Ridgetovvn, good grazing land is not the only e.ssential in turning livestock out to pasture. Water, salt and shade are just as impcrtant, the director advises. "Water is not only the largest single constituent of all living matter, both plant aiid animai, but carries the nutrients from one part of the living structure to another by holding them in solu- tion," he explained. "Herbivorous animals (those that live chiefly on plants) need a considerably larger amount of common sah than is supplied by their usual feeds," Mr. Steckley said. "Swine and poultry need less salt than other livestock," Mr. Steckley said, "but it is usually advantageous to supply them with some. Water, Shade and Salt Commenting on the third essen- tial, "Shade" Mr. Steckley said; "Shade should be provided for ail classes of livestock and al- though on mcst pasture farms there are sufficient trees avail- able to provide sufficient shade, pasture fields, where there are no shade trees, should be equip- ped with some cheap strut';ure that would servo the purpose. "Particularly, this should be done for swine pasture," Mr. Steckley said, "as the direct rays from the sun may injure young ])igs permanently." Sees America As Big Food Source Canada and United States to Supply Europe â€" President of O.A.C. Stresses Our Im- portant Food Role Tho Important role Canada must play in providing food for peoples of war-torn Europe was stressed by Dr. O. I. Christie in a recent ad- dress at Guelph, to more than 140 delegates representing business and professional women's clubs all throughout Ontario. "We cannot expect to go on amid a surplus of foodstuffs with everything at low price* as enjoyed In Canada and the United States and have the POPâ€" Well. It'« a Game Full of Fish Stories rest of the world starving to death," said the college president. AGRICULTURE DISRUPTED ABROAD Pointing out that agriculture has been disrupted in Holland, Belgium, Denmark and other invaded count- ries, he said the problem of food would confront every Individual in Canada and the United States in the very near future due to the fact that the only food supply for the world is In North America and parts of the South American con- tinent. "People are going to demand food whether they com* here for it or we send it to them. It has to be done aud we shall have to share the responsibility," said Dr. Christie in referring to iacrease4 sacrifices which must be WfA^ la this country.
