BARN OF GLEASON GILL DESTROYED BY FIRE * WITH ALL THE BRAN OF THE WHOLE WHEAT During a terrific electrical storm which swept over this district Friday afternoon the large barn of Gleason Gill in Fullarton Township, was fir ed by a bolt of lightning and com pletely destroyed with 30 tons of hay, 1,000 bushels of wheat, oats and barley, four prize Holstein heif ers and four prize Holstein calyes. The loss, which is only partly cover ed by insurance, will reach $10,000. The barn was 34x80, and one of finest in the township being equip ped with Delco lighting system and milking machines.

(The narrow J pah’s experience was indeed a “sign or s'ymlboj of the resurrection of Christ, as the Lord Himself said al most a thousand years later. God gave Jonah another chance, i Where would any of us be if God did not do the same for us? This time ■Jonah headed in the opposite direc tion and went straight to Ninevah, and there he began his powerful preaching, declaring that the city, because of its wickedness, was doom ed and would days. A strange this unknown denunciation of the sin of this heath- I en people, a country-wide revival _ HL, The King of Ninevah j himself set aside his royal robes, j put on sack-cloth and ashes, and ] published a proclamation calling up- I on his people to fast and repent, He I commanded that they “cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, .and turn away from His fierce an ger, that we perish not?” When has God ever failed to lis ten to the broken-hearted cry and confession of repentant sinners? He saved Ninevah. It was one of the greatest evangelistic events in the history of’the world. Christ told the , Pharisees of His day that the men of Ninevah should pass judgment upon the Jewish generation of Christ’s- day and. condemn it, “Be cause they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.” Now comes the strange climax, or anti-climax, to the whole episode. Jonah was very angry because God had spared Ninevah. He wanted to see it destroyed. He tells God that he had been afraid God would be merciful, and* that that was thy he had fled to Tarshish. In fact Jo nah thought it would be better for him to lie now, rather live under this great humiliation. The doom predicted had failed to strike. God, the God of Israel, had actually shown loving not of God ting a to the and east wind, and then letting the gourd die. As Jonah resented bit terly the death of the plant, God asked the prophet whether it was not more important to spare a great city like Ninevah, with its hundreds of thousands of human souls, than to have the. selfish own comfort which ing? And there abruptly, with the and convicting question. Let us never forget that God call ed out Abraham as the founder of the Jewish nation and separated the people of Israel from all. other1 people, not merely in order to bless-1 Israel, but in order to bless the whole ljuman race through Israel. “In thee shall all families’ of' the earth be blessed,” said God to Ab raham when He first called him (Gen. 2:3). ;So God’s use bf a Jew ish prophet to save a heathen nation was in keeping with God’s covenant with Israel, and was a foregleam of what God will do when Christ comes- again and the Jews become the greatest evangelists and foreign missionaries the world has ever* seen. •Sept. 21.—-Jonah. ( Nationalist rebuted.) Read Book of Jonah. Golden Text the Of a truth, I perceive that God is- no respecter of persons; but in every nation he that fearetlr Him, and wo-rketh righteousness, is accepted With Him.—Acts 10; 34, 35. Jonah was a real person, and his story is real history. The Lord Je sus Christ said so (Matt. 12:39, 40), Even if the Lord had never men tioned Jonah, we would be equally sure that the bool; is history, for it is recorded in the Old Testament as . __ If the story of Jonah is not, broke out, there is no such, literal 'history, then reason to suppose that the stories of Abraham and of Moses and of Is rael’s national life are historical re cords. Archeology also lias corrobo rated the Jonah history in connec tion with Ninevah and her heath en gods. The brief four- chapters make one of the most dramatic and thrilling stories in the whole Bible. Jonah’s biography may be summed up in nine words; Commissioned, Disobed ient, Judged, Repentant, Restored, Recommissioned, Obedient, Resent ful, Rebuked. Jonah as a historical character, whose prophecy in another connec tion was fulfilled, is mentioned in II King’s 14:25. God told him to leave his. land, Israel, travel northeast to a distant and heathen country, and cry -out against the sin of its greatest city. Ninevah. What chance had an un known Jewish prophet if he sudden ly appeared in the streets of a pros perous wealthy and wicked city in a strange land to tell the people of their sins! What chance would an unknown Chinese or African have, if he appeared in the streets of Lon don, Toronto or New York and out the same message today? that was Jonah’s commission God. He decided to flee in the opposite direction, westward across the Med iterranean, and so get away, “from the presence of the Lord.” -It is not quite so easy as’ that to escape from the presence of the Creator. The Lord pursued him with a mighty tempest, and the rest of the story is well known. The mariners pray ed to their heathen deities for de liverance, which did not come;’lots were cast and fell upon Jonah; he •confessed that this storm bad come because of his sin, and asked them to cast him into the sea, which un der protest the sailors did, after pra-ying to Jonah’s God for absolu tion from this atot. After Jonah had been cast overboard, these men “feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto ’ the Lord and made vows.” It looks as though ‘Jonah’s preaching on board had made true converts to the only God: A great fish, prepared by the Lord for this miraculous event, swallowed up Jonah. A close read ing of the second chapter'shows that Jonah died within the He speaks of going, down or the place of the dead, ed utterly and cried out deliverance, and God brought him back from the dead; then the great fish, on the third day, ‘‘vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.” .So Jo- cried But from great fish, into Sheol, He repen t- to God for There passed away in Sarnia re cently- Archibald Weir, K,.
