It was five hundred years 230, and a he, a knight in shining armor, 'was ambling down the bank of that twist- ing stream astride a great . charger with arched neck and blood-red nos- trils. Then down from the wooded slopes, to dispute his passage came |. 1a grim, mailed figure with black, wav- ing plumes and visor closed, to wait like some equestrian figure wrought in iron, silent and sinister, the bright sun shimmering on his burnished hel- met and emblazoned shield. Ruggles recognized him at ®nce from his de- vice--le Sieur Morgaunt de la Marne, a robber baron of ill repute, a' 'pil- lager and ravisher, in the dungeons 'of whose castle back there in the for- est languished many a wretched vic- tim, of whom perchance the wife or Snnubior or sister served as a hand- maiden in Morgaunt's" gloomy lair, There could be no parley with such a miscreant. Ruggle's mailed hand rose to his visor--he gripped at the visor of his bicycling cap, where was pinned the insignia of "Le Touring CluB de France" to be'a member of which costs five francs a year and protects ome on the road: throughout France--his lance was laid at rest. "Have at you, Sir Robber!" The hoofs of his great war horse ground in the shale, as scenting the fray, it sprang forward with a snort of eager- ness. Ruggles lowered his head and began to pedal furiously. The next instant he spun beneath an 'arched bridge and around. a bend, where he pitched upon a tableau which went far to dampen his knightly ardor. Standing with her back to an easel was a slender girl with a pallid face, a palette hanging from her thumb, and her finger closed upon paint brush. Before her stood two lusty vagabonds in baggy corduroy trous= ers caught about their waists by soil- ed sashes of red flannel and with stout cudgels in their thick, grimy paws. The group was on the edge ofa steep bank which dropped almost precipi- | tously for ten feet into the dark green, eddying water. It looked as if the girl had backed away and the tramps had followed her. Ruggles was no coward, but the a sudden 'chill. Like most people who live in France and read the daily press had not the slightest desire in the world for an encounter with French footpads or any of their kind: ly to be blamed, since he realized, as must all people who are acquainted with the 'French type of bandit, that, once departed on an act of violence, e has no idea of where to stop. At violence of any kind he seems to de- velop an insensate fury to which there is no control, and the results' are "often indescribable horror. - Ruggles read "Le Petit Parisien" and other sensational journals, and was quite aware with what sort of a situation he had to deal. Nevertheless, he braked, his 'ted, and let his bicycle fall upon its side; then turned to the girl a face He saw at a glance that she was English, not only from the pure Anglo-Saxon type from "her dress. quite alone i in. so isolated a spot show- ed that she could not possibly be French.: The two young thugs had] ' Rug- him a sullen look, d something that Rug-|~ ot undertsand. _ with | sin 1a them war ly, saw what was coming-- "good col quial pedalling blithely along the |: want that. to them." , Ruggles looked at' he tramps.

The Repentance of the People of Nineveh (3:1-10). The following steps are noted. their conversion; 1. Hearing the 'Word of the Viord (v. 1-4). [ The Lord commanded oa pe go in and there "rein the preaching" that he bade him, Jonal's runaway exper- ience (see ¢hapters 1, 2) was "such that he was willing to obey God. His | chastisement was severe, but by God's grace he was now ready to execute the commission. "Jonah arose and 'went unto Nineveh, according to the 'word of the Lord"( v. 3)..-So great was 'the city of Nineveh that. it re- quired three days to compass it; that] is, to visit its very centres of activity. Joudah, coming from Palestine, doubt- less'entered the city from the south, and during an entire day going front centre to centre cried, . "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be over- thrown" (v. 4). Since the king's palace seems to have been in the south part of the city Jonal's mes- sage soon found its way to him. every preacher would preach what God bids him there would be more cities turning to God, . 2. Believing God (v. 5). They not only. believed God would visit judgment upon, them, but be- lieved in God, and put thelr trust in him for mercy and salvation, "3. Repented (v. 5-9). Their penitence was shown in (1) proclaiming a fast and putting on sack-cloth (vv. 5- 7). These marks of humiliation were shown by all, from the king on his throne to the most humble man. (2) Cried mightily = to God (v. 8). In the midst of their humiliation they cried with intensity to God. (3) Turned from their evil ways (v. 8). The final test of penit- ence is turning from sin; it is hating' sin badly enough to quit it. - 4. Accepted by God (v. 10). When the Ninevites turned from their evils' God refrained from executing doom upon them. Tt averted. judgment. God is unchangeable, His holy 'mature is unalterably opposed to sin. When men repent from their sins his wrath is turned aside. ¢ This is what Rip by God repenting. # "Phe Necessity of Repentonte 13: 1-5). Repentance i is necessary on the part "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6: 23). While God is unalterably opposed to sin he is infinitely gracious.

Tt is not a question of how great a sinner one is that Pde: termines the need for repentance, since God cannot look upon evil: "For thou art of purer eyes than to be- hold evil, and canst not look upon iniquity:", (Hab. 1-13).
