Bund., Schotf l—im W'wA Bible Material: Jonah. Deretleaal Beadles: Paalm <7:l-7. For All People Lemon for September IS, IM9 JONAH is a strange sort of book. It was placed by the early Hebrew editors among the prophets; but thers is nothing to indicate that Jonah wrote a line of it. It is a story about a prophet rather than sermons by a prophet. It is strange, moreover, that something

Dr. r.irrmnn

good is said about •vary one mentioned in this book — all except Jonah. Further, while prophets were expected to proclaim God’s word and will, this man Jonah argues with God and shows very

plainly that he does not think well of God's attitude. Indeed, except when inside the fish, where the man was very pious indeed, Jonah’s remarks are with one exception rather peevish. Iliad Fraphet the reader learns a great deal from this book. Jonah is generally wrong, but God is right. The trouble with this fractious prophet was that he could not see things ss God saw them. Maybe this makes him no prophet, some one will ask. To be sure, he is never called a prophet in this book, but he must be counted one, for ho did finally say what the Lord told him to say. And still, his stubborn peevishness is much more in the picture than his obedience. For one thing, Jonah could not see the repentance of Nineveh. Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, a nation which brought great disasters on the Israelites. Jonah evidently shared the general opinion of his fellow-Israelites at that period, that the only good Assyrian was a dead Assyrian. The sins of Nineveh were plain enough to Jonah. What he could not see was ths people’s repentance and faith. It is a strange contrast we have here: the people of Nineveh who

believed God. and Jonah who did not; the people of Nineveh who repented and Jonah who (ao far aa the story goes) %ever did repent of his attitude to Nineveh. Jonah had what la now called a “Mtereotype” In hie mind when he thought of a Ninevite, that la, a fixed picture which he could not change, a picture of a hopelessly godless and wicked man. A repentant Ninerite, weeping for his sins, was something so strange to Jonah that he could not see it. lye far Children

At the end of the story, where God is explaining to Jonah why he (God) took pity on the great capital city, 130,000 persons are mentioned who “do not know their right hand from their left.” It is generally supposed that this refers to children. God even speaks of the cattle: the divine interest in animals comes out in this book as nowhere else in the Old Testament. It is clear that Jonah had never thought of the children, much less of the cattle. What he wanted to see was fire from heaven, a burning city. That there would be innocent sufferers in the flames does not seem to, have occurred to the man. Again Jonah had his stereotype of Ninevites.

“Far Oar iMlmtlM" “Thesa things wars written for our instruction,” said a New Testament writer about ths Old Testamsnt. Certainly the book of Jonah has something strong to say to us here and now; so strong that it is hard to take. (The Israelites never did “take” the message of the book of Jonah.) We also have our favorite stereotypes, we think of people in certain fixed ways and we seldom think they could be otherwise. Let the reader test himself. What do these words suggest to you ?— Negro, Russian, boss, farmer, banker, congressman, socialist, N. A. A. C. P., scientist, German, European, union organiser, bureaucrat? It is sass to say that many readers have fixed ideas about some of these, and perhaps some fixed hatreds. In war especially, wo always think of the enemy, as Jonah did of Nineveh, in terms of the harm the enemy has done to u& It is a hard pill to swallow, and wo don't know whether even Jonah managed to swallow it, but the fact is, ws love everybody except our enemies, but God loves our enemies too. Peace will never come till Gods people begin to love ths people God loves.

Dodd said he was not notified of the impropriety until after it was too late for him to comply before the Sept. 1 filing deadline. Crowded Schedule Planned For Nikita WASHINGTON <UPI) — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s crowded U.S. schedule will take him from a white tie White House banquet to a farmhouse lunch and from an agriculture experiment station to a Hollywood movie lot. The Russian leader, wjio arrives here Tuesday, also will speak to the National Press Club and the UN. General Assembly, dine with union, financial, political and civic leaders, and visit an IBM plant and a university during his 13-day U.S. tour. A detailed itinerary of Khrushchev’s first 13 days in the United States, released by the White House late Thursday, showed that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, former New York Gov. Averell Harriman and corn farmer Roswell Garst of Coon Rapids, lowa, were the only private citizens scheduled to entertain the Soviet boss in their own homes. Conspicuously absent from the schedule was any visit to the Capitol. The Senate and House are trying to clean up their business and adjourn before Khrushchev arrives to avoid the ticklish problem of whether to invite him to address a joint session. The agenda for the first nine days starts with Khrushchev’s arrival at Andrew Air Force Base in nearby Maryland at 11:30 a.m. e.d.t. and ends with his arrival at Pittsburgh at 11 p.m. e.d.t. Wednesday, Sept. 23. The rest of the schedule, to include private Eisenhower - Khrushchev talks at the President’s heavily-guarded Camp David retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, will be made public later.

CHURCH GOING Bev. J. R. Meadows Church going and the worship of God every Sunday in His church are obligations not only to God, but more directly obligations we owe to one another. The public worship of the congregation is helped or hindered in the measure in which each of us contribute to the creation of an atmosphere from Sunday to Sunday surcharged with love and loyalty, devotion and inspiration. The brethren are dependant upon us for . this atmosphere, the clergyman is helpless without it, and is shorn of a great deal of his power without the loyal witness of the members of the church to the reality of the truth he proclaims. Attend your church next Sunday with a prayer that you may be able to render real service to your Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
