CREAMED COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, GOD’S CONCERN FOR ALL PEOPLE, Jonah 3:1-2,10; 4:1-11, for Sunday, September 13. The Book of Jonah is the great missionary book of the Old Testament. Isaiah had seen Israel’s divine destiny as an agent for the salvation of other peoples, but the Israelites had not followed this course and were highly nationalistic. Jonah had been commanded by God to go to Ninevah and try to bring the city to repentance, but he did not desire to do so, as the Israelites had experienced the cruelties of the Assyrians and hated them.

Ninevah, he embarked at Joppa, but was thrown into the sea by the sailors as the cause of the mighty tempest that arose. The book of Jonah, the author of which is unknown, portrays God's concern for all men. Vs. 1. 2. "And the work of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,... Arise, go unto Ninevah. that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. The “great fish” had thrown Jonah out on dry land, his life was spared, and he was given a second chance to go to Ninevah as Godo commanded him. He went reluctantly and had no change of heart about the inhabitants of Ninevah and the folly of his mission. V. 10. “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said he would do unto them; and he did it not." Jonah apparently preached very effectively, since, in penitence, the king and all his people put on sackcloth and ashes, abstained from eating, and sought God’s mercy. God's love is bestowed on all people who turn to him in true repentance and faith. God's love is universal, available to all people everywhere. Vs. 1-3. “But It displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. .. And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, “I pray thee. O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the veil.. . Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.” Jonah had prophesied that Ninevah would be destroyed and was angry that God had not seen fit to do so. He was not pleased that the Ninevites had repented because of his preaching and tunred toward God since he was not concerned with their salvation, only their destruction. Jonah, even though a deeply religous man, and conscious of God's will, preferred that vengeance be wrought upon his enemies than to be an instrument in their salvation. He preferred death rather than live as a discredited prophet. Vs. 4, 5. “Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?. .. So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.” God's question was a reproff to Jonah and a suggestion that he reflect on his unreasonable attitude. Jonah still had hoped the city would be destroyed so he sat in a safe place and sulked over the fact it had not been destroyed. Vs. 6,7. “And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to com eup over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.” The “gourd” was probably the castor plant with large leaves providing shade to relieve his discomfort from the heat of the sun. In the morning a worm attacked the gourd so that it wihered and no longer provided protection. Vs. 8, 9. “And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to do, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.” Jonah’s physical discomfort made him want to die, as well as his uncontrolled anger that God had spared the Ninevites. Jonah was stubborn and proud and refused to change his attitude, preferring death to changing his position...

Simeon Schmitt, Pastor Sunday Masse* 6 a.m. 7:30 a.m. 1:30 a.m. 9:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1 Weekday Masses 6 a.m. 7:30 a.m. 9:15 a.m. FIRST CHRISTIAN 2nd and Jefferson Streets Edward Pacha, pastor Labor Day is upon us, and it is interesting to note that although it ' is called “labor” day, it is a holiday. I suppose that most peoples will be taking to the highways for this, their last summer week-end. Those of you remaining in town, will you come worship with us this Sunday morning. As is the policy, the first Sunday of the month brings the Junior Choir to lead us in our hymn singing. They will also sing the anthem, “Lord, I Want To Be A Christian.” The pastor’s message will be, “Reach Out Thy Hand.” The nursery will 1 be open for the little ones. Morning worship is at 9:30 a.m., with church school at 10:30. Don’t forget mid-week Bible study Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. It seems September starts a new era. The world takes on a new 1 attitude; summer is over with the Labor Dav week-end and the heart quickens with anticipation of the pace that must be set to meet the demands of the days, weeks, and months ahead. Oh, there may be some that will say my heart does not quicken at the thought of school beginning, but to you and to all that are about to begin school, let me say this: School is not "a lot of hard work,” and should not be “a waste of time." No one will be able to tell you if it is a waste of time or not. What you do iri your classes, and how you handlfe your homework, and what you do with your lives will determine this. I will say this also, school will probably be the easiest thing that you will ever do. You that go to school are in the best times of your lives—don’t waste it. What you are about to do now, you may never be able to do again. If you goof, the day will come that you will weep because of it. Now I’m going to tell you something that I have found to be true. The classes that I disliked the most, were the classes that I was least prepared for, the classes I did the least studying for. If you don’t get behind in your work, and if keep your lessons up to par —you 11 enjoy your school work. Try it—it works. God Bless You. FIRST BAPTIST 221 South Fourth Street Stuart H.
