This was a longer chapter than the last, and I was somewhat distracted while reading it. It focuses on Father Mapple's sermon about the story of Jonah. Ishmael listens to it but doesn't have much of a reaction to it. It talks a lot about Jonah's ordeal, which ends only when he folows God's will, which is: "To preach the Truth to the face of Falsehood."
