IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR MARCH 5 JEHOVAH’S MERCY TO A HEATHEN CITY LESSON TEXT-Jonah 3:1-4:11. GOLDEN TEXT—Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous rnan his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.—lsa. 55:7. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Isa. 46:3>25; -49:5-7; Jonah 1:1-2:10; Mal. 1:10, 11; John 3:16. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Sends Jonah on an Errand. JUNIOR TOPIC—How God Spared * Wicked City. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jonah’s Missionary Adventure. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Missionary Teaching of the Book of Jonah. That the book of Jonah Is historical we believe for the following reasons: First, its record and use In the Scriptures. That the writers of the Bible intended the impression of its historicity is without the shadow of a doubt. The suggestion that it is a parable is absolutely gratuitous. Second, the unbroken testimony of tradition among the Jews is that It is historic. Third, the testimony of Jesus Christ (Matt. 12:39-41). The words of Jesus Christ are tinal. 1. Jonah’s Second Commission (vv. 1,2). When called the first time to go to Nineveh, he found the tusk too great for him. The man called to do foreign mission work was Seeing in the opposite direction. The real reason he did not desire to go was that he was afraid that they would repent, and he knew if they did, God's mercy would be extended to them (ch. 4:2). For his unfaithfulness, lie was chastised. [ Ue repented and God restored his I commission. The Lord said to him, । “Preach the preaching that 1 bid thee’’ ! (r. 2). God knows how he wants His i work done, therefore He gave just • the message which He desired to base I proclaimed to the lost world. Happy is ' the missionary, minister. Sunday-school 1 teacher, who preaches God's Word Just as He gave it. 11. Jonah’s Preaching (vv. 3,4). 1. His field (v. 3). “Nineveh was an exceeding great city.” Not only was the city large, but its inhabitants were noted for their cruelty. 2. His message (v. 4). “Yet fortydays and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” i This means that forty days were given ! by God for repentance ere the Judgment would fall. God Is long-suffer-ing, not willing that any should perish, I but that all should repent (II Pet. 3:9). ' Though He is merciful, yet there Is a limitation to it. He says, "Yet forty I days.” , 111. The Repentance of Nineveh (vv. I 5-10). 1. They believed God (v. 5). They believed that God was speaking to them through the prophet about their sins and impending judgment. 2. They proclaimed a fast (vv. 5-8). i The king and people joined sincerely ■ in this movement. The call was for them to turn away from their sins. I Their penitence was genuine, for they ' not merely put on sackcloth, the vb ; ible sign of mourning, but they cried to God (v. 8). 3. They reasoned that God would repent (v. 9). Though they Inui no assurance that God would have mercy, jet they reasoned that rhe sending of a prophet and the giving of a time before the fall of doom implied that God would lie merciful if they repent- । ed. They were wise in so doing. We today know that God will have mercy if we repent (Acts 3:19). What utter folly to go on in sin in the face of the assurance that God will judge. 5. God's mercy shown (v. 10). “God saw their works that they turned from their evil way.” God's eye is omniscient. Wherever there is a soul who is turning from sin in i>enitence. He sees. No one has ever wept over sin unnoticed by God. God rejoices when a sinner repents (Luke 15:10). In the Book of Jonah we have portrayed the typical history of Israel: “1. Jonah was called to a world mission, and so was Israel. (2) Jonah at first refused compliance with the divine purpose and plan, and so did Israel. (3) Jonah was punished by being cast into the sea, and so was Israel by being dispersed among the nations. (4) Jonah was not lost, but rather especially preserved during this part of his experience, and Israel Is not being assimilated by the nations, but being kept for God. (5) Jonah, repentant and cast out by the fish, is restored to life and action again, and Israel, repentant and cast out by the nations, shall be restored to her former national position. (G) Jonah, obedient, goes upon his mission to Nineveh, and Israel obedient, shall ultimately engage in her original mission to the world. (7) Jonah Is successful in that his message is acted upon to the salvation of Nineveh, so Israel shall be blessed in that she shall be used to the conversion of the whole world.” —Dr. Gray’s Commentary. No Room for Doubt. There is no room for doubt or disputation. The judgment must he; and it must be personal to every child of Adam. The prophecies that proclaim it are for the most part referable to man as such ; to have been born into this world is the sole condition for being the subject of this tremendous dispensation. In the very being—the rational and moral being—that God has given us. He has inwoven the future judgment; He has constructed our nature so that it demands this award as its necessary completion.—■ William Archer Butler. Look Froward, Meet the first beginnings; look to j the budding mischief before it has time to open to maturity.—Shakespeare. I

RAIL MEN BACK MINERS' STRIKE Pledge Moral and Financial Aid, but Will Not Walk Out. OPERATORS STATE POSITION! — Declare Checkoff System Must Be Eliminated and Scale of Wages Corresponding to Present Conditions Must Be Recognized. —— Chicago, Feb. 24.—sixteen railway brotherhoods refused to enter into a synqmthetic strike eement with the United Mine Work 'of America, but | entered iuto a "tive alliance” I with the mine! g them their i “full moral su action came J after Presk’* >wis of the I miners p' Hs of the ■ brothekte ion. “I doj he said, “but Iff d have i your moj The su era, it is under/ a re- | fusal on ' y men I to handb munion , mines. The de adopted the resol rotective , alliance ai pt «. committee of five to dMw up the agreement. No BiM-citie recommendations were given as to tlie scope the agreement should take. The members of the conference are: H. E. Wells, assistant grand chief of ' Locomotive Firemen and Engineers; Martin F. Ryan, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers; Score- ‘ tury R<»ss of the International Railway : Telegraphers; Phillip Murray, vice i president of the International Mine Workers of America, and Vice President Dempsey of the Longshoremen's I union. President Lewis said the mine striae 'was inevitable as a result of the re- ' fusal of the Pittsburgh Coal Pnaiucem’ association refusing to Join other op- | erutors in the central competitive field : in a conference with th” mine union officials, j | H . u]>erators. he has main- . tKiiicd, must be unanimous in atteud- , ance or the union officials would not j confer with them. Illinois operator' have voted in favor of the conference. Indiana and east ; Ohio operators were conferring on the question ot attendance. Southern Ohio ■ vjso atoi s refused to meet the miners. The Pittsburgh oiwratirs' refusal was out.iuied in this telegram: “Answering your message of this date ue will not again enter into a four states agreement. Therefore it । Is not necessary to meet to fix a date । for such u conference. When tiie men i of tiie Pittsburgh district are willing ' to inert with us to negotiate a scale of I wages which recognises present condii tivlis and effcAnates the checkoff, we will meet with them.” Memlwrs of the association employ about 45,900 bituminous miners iu the western Pennsylvania district. Tiie miners originally had sought an i alliance with the rail unions in an ef- । fort to have them declare a sympathetic strike to tie up all coal production and delivery iu case of a strike. I When the walkout first was threatened the operators retaliated by assuring । tiie public that its wants would lie I served out of the nonunion fields. It was to keep the railroads from hauling nonunion mined coal from the area supplied by the central competitive field that the miners sought the alliance. When President Lewis went into session with tiie rail union officials at the Great Northern hotel, he was ; plainly worried. He refused to be quoted directly, but left no doubt that tiie strike would occur unless the government intervened. He told the rail union heads, who represent 2,900,000 workers, that he had no definite plan to offer. "But." he declared. “1 believe the time lias come when there ought to be u colithm movement between tiie rail and mine union workers. It meat's much for the success of both. "1 do not ask,” he continued, “that the railroad unions strike in sympathy with the miners, but I believe tiiat the miners should have the moral support of the railway men.” He then recommended joint moral support against tiie lengthening of workHig hours or reduction in wages. “We are ready to fight,” Mr. Lewis said, “although 1 am not yet absolutely corviuced that the operators will force us to carry out our plans for a strike.” Mr. Lewis said that if the railroad workers ever went on strike it would not be necessary for the miners officials to make a declaration of support by the mine workers. Tiie miners would of their own accord give “support” to a railroad strike, he declared. Four-Power Pact Hits Snag.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best — ’ Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- ! tensively advertised, all at once drop out lof sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. i A medicinal preparation that has real I curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is I recommended by those who have been । benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a , preparation I have sold for many years ■ and never hesitate to recommend, for in ; almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have ’ used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al- | most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of i Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this ! paper.

Howe of Kansas has been something of a traveler. He made a number of trips abroad and went twice around the world. It was on his first trip abroad that he encountered one of the sea hounds whose chief boast is concerned in the number of times they have crossed the Atlantic. Mr. Howe tells the incident as his favorite story. “Is this your first trip ” the sea hound asked Mr. Howe on the occasion of their first meeting. Mr. Howe admitted that it was. “Well.” said the sea hound, “I ve crossed the Atlantic 40 times.” On the second day the sea hound again put the question to Mr. Howe and again vouchsafed the same observation. He repeated it at frequent intervals during the trip. It was on the sixth day, after the sea hound had again spoken of the । number of his crossings that Mr. i Howe said to him: “By the way. have | you ever been to Omaha?” The sea hound said he never had. “Well." re- ! torted Mr. Howe, “I go there every । week.” —Philadelphia Public Ledger.

I Sa I Save the bird in hand— The others may be hard to catch

With enough money, enough time and enough luck, a man may get back the health he has lost—or part of it. It takes patience, too. And then there may be no success, or only a little. It’s better to save what you have than hunt for what you’ve lost —as the most successful health-restorers will tell you. Much of the loss of health is due to faulty, careless diet.
