Excerpt from Theology and Life: Sermons Chiefly on Special Occasions Of the work which the servants of God have been called to do in the great cities of the world. To Jonah, the son of Amittai, the word of the Lord came, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it for their wickedness is come up before me.'2 He shrank, as he might well do (sinful as the shrinking was), from en countering that wickedness, from facing in its living horrors all that dread ferocity and brutal lust which seem even now to glare upon us from the sculptured stone. He shrank from uttering the threat. Yet more did he shrink from the thought that the God of his fathers had any care for such.
