Ierrnop tcrloN—Israel is to render `a hfglt service to tine nati9ens of the world, Such is the tteach'nii of .the', prophets from very,'; early times. The blessing of Abrahom is not to be for Itiuiself alone, but` he shall be to others also a blessing, Gen. 12: 2, 3. "All the nations of the: earth shall be blessed in him," Gen. 18: 13, In the .dedication prayer of the temple of ,Solomon the•stranger.is not forgotten, and the law of Leviticus joins him with the }tome born in the command. ment of love, 1 Icings 8: 41-43; Lev, 19: 18, 34. The temple is to be called, ""a hoose of praye$ for All people," iso. 50: 7. The great prophet of the :exile declares Israel to be Gods ser- vant, chosen, called, nae strong, in structed, by the 'Spirit of God, to "set judgment (or justice )in he earth,". given "for,a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles," Iso, 41: 8- 10; 42: 1-6. Ile is indeed to do great things for his own people, to restore and re-establish the scattered exiles in their own land, but that patriotic service is "too light a thing" (chap. 49: 6 Rev. Ver,) ; the Lord -says, "I will also give thee for a light to the .Gentiles, that thol. newest be my sal- vation Into the end" of the earth." 'That is "the higher• patriotism" Compare the expectation, frequently met in the Psalms and Prophets, that all nations shall come to. now and worship the ord, Psalm 65: 2; 67: '2-7;•'72: 8-11; 82: 8; 86: 9; Iso. 66: '23, etc. • I.

Jonah blip son of. Amittai _s men- tioned in 2 iKngs 14: 25 asa;prophet of Israel in the days of Jeroboam II' (about -.C. 783-743.) who foretold the zestoration :of his kingdom to it- an- .cient boundaries. He receives a 'calf from the Lord to preach against the :sins of Nineveh, the great capital of the Assv •ian empire, but is unwilling to go. The cause of his unwilling- nese we are not told. It may have been pure selfishness, which would have resisted any such call to a pos rsibly dangerous and ertainly unre- munerative mission: It may have been the strong dislike whir-. r Israelite would, naturally have to such a mis- Sion to a strange city. Te escape the insistent call he gives himselt to mer- •cantile Male, and embarks in a Phcen- Arian ship sailing. from Joppa to the far -away port of Tarshish, on the. south-west coast of Spain. The rl:est .of thestory of chapel is well known. It has been feltmymany readers, whether' they regard the, book of'Jonah as historical or not, that Jonah is a type of Israel,that is of the Israel of post-exilie times. The people of Israel had suffered very trribly by con- quest, tribute, and captivity at the hands of 'powerftl enemies: Egypt, Assyria,. Babylon, and Persia. it is no wonder that they prayed for, and hoped for, the overthrow of these ap- preteors, and for deliverance from them. They desired their destruction, not their conversion. Some voices were heard, it is true, exhorting to a larger hope, and predicting the win- ning of all these nations to the ser- vices of Jehovah, but the prevailing. desire and expectation of Israel, in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.; was for their destruction, Israel, .called to be God's prophet, to preach repentance and forgiveness, thought ,only -cif vengeance upon his foes, and gave himself to the pursuit of wealth .and power. Jonah is truly represen- tative of this narrow, intolerant, self - •centred Israel,' which had not yet learned the universality, the gracious- ness, and the compassiona' kindness ,of the love of God. Scattered through- Mut hrough•out the world the people of Israel were using their unique gifts and oppor- tunities for self -enrichment.. They were becoming the traders and bank- ers of the world of their time, and only :rarely and reluctantly mission- aries of the kingdom of God. II. GIVING I1ALC-ITEAaTED SERVICE,• 3: 1-5. When the second call come, Jonah went to Nineveh. But he wentto preach destruction, not salvation. His message was, "Yet forty days and. Nineveh shall be overthrown." It 'seems very clear that he had no ex- pectation or desire that the_ doomed city should repent and be saved. His spirit is quite different from that of Abraham, who pleaded with God for Sodom and Gomorrah, and from that of Paul, preacher to many ct1'es, who Silo Esme Sees Tobago Patrn: r After 33 Years British Envoy Drew Substan- tial Income From Venture With His • Old Associate Islanders Witness. Reunion Scarborough, Tobago.—When Sir Esme Iloward, British Ambassador 10 the United Stated, stepped, from the small mall steainer froln Port -a. Spain, Trinidad, he was greeted. by nearly every one of the several thou- sand inhabitants. It was a long jour.' hey for Sir Esme and his. son, Lewis, who left New York for Bermuda, where he remained a week, and thence on the Canadian National steamship Lady Hawkins to Trinidad, another ten days of ocean sailing. Foremostamong those who nest the ambassador at the, Scarborough pier was a.tall, gray-b:atred man, Thurleigh Orde, whom -Sir Esme' had not seen in thirty-three Years. They had been close friends in early days and partners, in a large Tobago •plant• anon for the same period 'of time. There were tears in tite eyes of both men when they clasped hands on tlto little landing at Scarborough. ,,partners in Plantation Thirty-three years ago they bought. a plantation together. Sir Esme was called back to England to enter . the diplomatic service and to win a, die- tinquished career, while 'Thurleigh, Orde was to remain. almost a recluse on the tiny West Windward island, to loots after the plantation and live a secluded life, - And now, atter ail tbe years, Sir Esme Howard returns to, see his part- ner and view the plantation ,th'at has brought 'him a substantial Income tor a third 'of, a century. Tobago is onlyy twenty-six miles fa length: and seven miles in breadth at its broadest point. nut there is Much, to see in Tobago;' and Sir Esme had a busy week driving about the conical hills and charming little valleys. Orde has built a spacious house where the ambassador and his son were guests during their stay on the island. Natives Return to Sugar. Tobago has a fertile soil, and pro- duces on its '73,000 acres every kind of fruit and vegetable peculiar to the tropics. When sugar ceased to be profitable the natives went into the cultivation of cacao and rubber . and into cattle raising. Lately they have gone back to sugar, but cocoanuts re- main the one staple article .tor ex- port.* With a total population of 23,000, only. about 200 are whites. The town of Scaraborough has three churches, a club and a bank. Taxes are low and living is remarkable cheap. The British Ambassador , and his son expect to return to Washington late in November. Reds Abolish 15 Synagogues Moscow. -During the last month fif- teen synagogues in Soviet Resale were converted into workmen's clubs. Included were the synagogues of Chaslavitch, Velikolukt and Artio- movsk. Maybe the reason why Russia and China do not get down_to real war is because they fear it mayhave a Jap- anned finish. Why the Interest In England's 8.101? If it 'Sueeeds it May Be the Real Beginning of the Air- ship Era' ---If it fails, the End, at Any Rate, for a Generation BRITISH PRESS VIEWS "We are opening not only a new chapter btu the first chapter of stew book; an exciting chapter, since it may be tate that of many bat niav also, perhaps. be' the last." —Manchester Guardian. There have- been, reapy airships and the Graf 'Zeppelin'f holder of a flee record. Bat experts• in the world of the ale realize. that I -1Q1 our new, airship, is a deciding factor in the future of that class of aircraft,' and that is Why its Oleg exploits are be- ing carefully _gttidied. "The first and greatest' virtue, of the R-101," says the Tierce, "is' that, owing to the employment of furnace MI instead of "petrol as the source of her motive power (at one-fifth of the cost), she will be decidedly safer than all previous airships: The rick of fire is reduced to a minimum, and smoking, wbieh had to be banned in the caee oC the Graf Zeppelin, will be allowed in a ape ia} compartment. "Another great and Hovel advatt• tage is --that the elimination of. petrol will enable her, unlike airships de- pendent on this form, of fuel, to face, the tetnp'erature 're the tropics and. the effect of Itsextremee on the lift of the ship.

But in what is likely W�•prove a new era in airship constetietloa R-101 has undoubtedly made .s good beginning: "The work of building up an air- ship service, which, if it can be es- tablished, Must 'prove of incalculable value to the Empire,'is bound to be as costly affair. And the designers and eoustructora of. R-101 'have worked well and wisely in determining,' even at some possible saoria0e toe the time 'being of speed .and' carrying power, to put before all 'other considerations the iadispensable and match abused attribute of Safety First." • "The Air Ministry,' pointe Out the. Daily Telegraph, ."has not been con- cerned to prove that the 11101 could work- on a given route with the re- gulai:ity. oe a great steamship. The' engineering and the commercial as- pects of the question must be clear ty distingaislsed. "First of }}fi;'it has to be shown that these .great airships are prac- ticable machines, capable of with- standing reasonable risks of weather and of being' .launched and brought back to their sheds•without uhdue dif., acuity. When that has been done it will be time for business inen to consider. more Pully the questions of cost and potential revenue. • "Meanwhile WO may take pride is the thought'. that .British brains and British energy are solving 'the im- mensely complex( new problems of airship building, so that we may hold our own in, this .as in other spheres of human activity." What We Must Ask of an Airship "We ask, more of a traine' observes the Manchester Guardian, "or a ship than safety, and so we shall, after a generous trial, of an airship. Even to trains and ships we allow a certain measure of frailty,' but on the, whole we demand that they shall not only start and arrive in safety. but that they shall do it at stated times.

At present the airship has neither of these qualifications, "The 'Graf Zeppelin .can fly round the world, but the passengers wait- ing t0 go on the German flight which they had booked- have just had to re- turn home because the weather pre• vented the Graf front making a start. "Mooting masts can be multiplied —scarcely ally of them exist at pre- sent -but it will continually be neoes- sary to housean airship in a shed, and that means that there will be continual difficulty with the weather. As t0 costs, it is too soon 'to say Whether there will ever be such a thing as a 'commercial' airstrip. Up to the present the airship has had a curiosity value, and the passengers have been triose who had not to count the cost. Twelve menthe' ex- perience will supply a fund of in- -formation which is at present lack- ing." The Designer's View Mr. A. E. L. Chorlton, the design- er and inventor of the engines ot R-101, in an Interview expressed him- self as highly delighted with the suc- cess of the airship's flight, ' "The trial," he said, "has demon- strated for the first' time . two things —the possibility of using a high-speed heavy oil engine, and, secondly, the use of heavy oil as fuel in aerial navigation. By this means absolute safety against the ever-present peril of fire in lighter -than -air craft is en- sred and there is a greater economy, represented by a figure of ne less than 30 per cent. in feel when com- pared with petrol engines. Further, we are saving in fuel weight another 25 per cent, "The weight of oil -burning engines, of course, is greater than that ot petrol engines, but 1" gurarantee that we can reduce by half the present weight per brake horse power of tate oil -burning engine. Daring the trip only four of the engines were used, and it was 0111y when we came. to manoeuvre for the mast at Carding - ton Mat the port„aft engine was used. Too Skillful London Beauty Experts Op, .pose Tinted Lashes in Feat' of Suits A protest against the growing liking of London women for tinted eyelashes has been reboil by bbs "watch corn mittee" et the Incorporated Guild of Hairdressers, Wigmakers and per. renters, The protest was used on ap• pareutly uuauswerable grounds, Tile guild,' showing a restraint not always found in organised comments upon fashions, bad no fault • to find with the moral or social •implications of eyelash tinting, It objected for business reasons, The operation is difficult to perform and likely to lead to unpleasant complications in the law courts, the oommittee reported. An eminent triohologist has declared that to- tint eyelashes properly and safely "requires almost the profes- sional krill ot a Harley Street spe- cialist;' Few members of the guild consider themselves pompetent to at- tempt it, climatic Conditions, for ahabips oper ating between two fixed and previous-' ly determined points, but it does not solve the difficulty of taking the afr. ship into her shod from the mast, and taking her to tite mooring mast from the shed; nor does it provide a solution for the landing of an air. ship at any placeexcept 'that which has esu previously prepared for her at as cost of many thousands of pounds. "The other great defeat of all air• ships yet built is that they do not obey one of the fundamental laws of transport, Alone among vessels in use to -day, they cannot make a land- ing on their own and without ex- traneous aid. The aeroplane and the flying -beat can, as a rule, make a forced landing without damage. A marine vessel can always anchor or heave -to, a train or motor -oar or any kind of laud vehicle can stop at any time. Airships, however, can only make a landing at a prepared: base, and it is ,to the overcoming of thl's difCnity that we should, in my opin- ion, concentrate all our energies. "I am a firm' believer in the neces- sity for redoubling our activities in the development of the long-distance aeroplane, flying boat and airship,” Soong Bonnie Lesley Hairst Mumu, I wad se ye shinin' sone, Ower barley -field an' links o' green, Wi' a bye -road baith atween. "What remains to be 'done Is to re. duce engine weight. That can be cut down by half. The ship, when the new propellers are fitted, will be in a position to be run fully out and to attain her maximum speed. Even at present there is no doubt that the airship could make a non-stop run to Egypt "The present problem is whether or t10tairships, froma civilian stand- point, are a 'commercial proposition.' The affirmative has still to be prov- ed, rowed, after making due allowance for tbe anti -airship school of thought," says the Daily Herald. "It is true that the Graf Zeppelin has flown round the world, and that should answer•, the 'It can't be done' critics. But there remains the fact that her crew, mindful of the litnita- tions of their craft, bave displayed decided antipathy to her projected Polar flight. That is not to say that she, or her British compeers, could not surmount the difficulties ahead. "But it does suggest that—and }sere, one mauy be sure, the staunchest supporters of airsbips would agree —the problem is not yet solved," An Expert's Opinion "Size in itself is no detriment tc a vehicle of transport for a sea pas- sage,"' writes Commander Sir Charles Denniston Burney, a leading author- ity, in the Observer. "We .do not choose a small liner for crossing the Atlantic because we are frightened of the size of a large one. The real objection to size in an airship is, at present, -that the larger the airship, the more difficult the question of landing and housing her at the completion of her voyage. "Hitherto airships have been hand- led by man -power, but although the size and power of the airship have increased, the size of the man re- mains the same. Obviously, there- fore, if airships exceed a Certain size they become too unwieldy to be man- handled.

The chief was not averse to ac- cepting a gift, however, so Baron. Warthausen gave him a cigar lighter and drew enough gasoline from the fuel tank to supply the lighter for some time. Tribesmen begged that he make a general distribution, as they prized gasoline for its supposed medicinal attributes. Castor Oil for Lighter The baron drained the castor oil trent the crankcase and gave it to the natives. He will avoid that oasisin future Rights, he said. Baron Wartltnsen's long flight was made not to add to the world's store of scientific knowledge, nor to achieve prominence as a spectacular flyer, but simply because lie was enjoying himself. Leaving Berlin in August, 1928, he set out to make a non-stop flight to Moscow, hoping to win the Von Hindenburg prize for the out- standing flight during the year b' a German flyer in a light sport plane. After succeeding in this attempt be met Germany's Minister to Persia, who happened to be in Moscow, and the. minister invited him to fly to Persia. ' Baron Warthausen did so, thinking that It would be a good lark and at the same time would streng- then his claim to the medal. Won Medal After seeing Persia Ile determined to add one more leg to his flight, just to be sure of the medal. He proceed- ed'to Karachi, India. From Karacb& ho flew to Calcutta, where the Ger- man Minister met hint with a tele- gram informing ltisn that be had won the prize and advising hint to turn back to Germany. Instead he went on to Siam, then to China, Japan, and thou to the Unl- ted States. He attempted no dif- ficult ocean croastngs, but put lila plane aboard a steamship to travel be tweet seaports, This does not mean that he shrank front making difficult flights.
