you can expunge that doctrine from its
pages, you must expunge the name of
every one of the heroes of faith; you
must blot out the burning words of the
prophets; you must deny the reality of
every aspiration of truth and holiness

is the God of the dead. not of the living.
In word, you must assert the empire
of universal DEATH
Though darkness, therefore, in the
Old Testament seems, for the most part,
to rest upon the grave, yet the hope of
the faithful Jew is alter all brighter and
truer than that of the wisest of the
heather; for though not kindied by such
direct and explicit promises as we find in
the Gospels and in the epistles, it rested
nevertheless on a known and mani.
tested God. and found expression in
words that we cannot interpret as mean
ing anything short of firm faith in a
future life.
But that it is plainly taught in the
New Testament is beyond question.
The relation of the resurrection of Christ
to that of the race is one most explicit
ly recognized in the Scriptures. In the
great fact that He. though falling prev
to death. achieved victory over the
grave. we have a certain pledge of a
final and full deliverance from the de-
stroyer's power. Because He suffered
death and came out of the tomb, we
feel that we have type and pledge
of our own resurrection.

ACTORS AS BALL-PLAYERs.
How the Members of the Modjeska Com
pany Showed Their Appreciation of
the Noble Game.

The members of the Modjeska dramatic conf
pany are enthusiastic supporters of the national
game, as well as occasional players Yesterday
afternoon, through the courtesy of Manager
O'Leary, they played a picked nine at the ball
park and the game was of strong contemporaries
Gus human interest. Maurice Barrymore, the
leading man, and Fred. StinsOn, acting manager,
composed "the battery" and gave a most seien-
tiic exhibition. Barrymore pitches thirteen dis
tinct curves and his ground and lofty tumbling
in running bases created great enthusiasm.
stinson is one of the finest theoretical base ball
players ever seen in these parts. Several Of the
histrionic gentlemen knew nothing about the
game, and their efforts to bat and catch were
productive of much merriment, and the contest
throughout kept the audience in a state of
breathless expectancy. There were innumerable
accidents, and more errors than there
are bad actors in the profession. There were
several very brilliant plays, and when MIR.

the enthusiasm knew no bounds. The dramatic
editor of tile Journal. who was one Of the fero-
Cious opposition, disocated several fingers ana
ruined his reputation as a nice young person by
the fervOr and intensity of the profanity that
naturally resulted. The score was % to 8 in
favor of the picked nine which can be accounted
for by the fact that they were familiar with the
grounds.
Nine. Modjeska, her husband, Count Charles
Bozenta ard all the ladies of the COM
pany were spectators, and were APP
parently highly entertained. Miss Georgia Drew
(Mrs. Barrymore) displayed a knowledge OF the
technique of the game that was most surprising,
and her exhortatiOns to her husband to hit the
ball and hit it hard, were very much like those
of the Spartan mothers In sending their sons to
the war TO do or die. The other ladies showed
fine discriminative powers in applauding bad
plays, and sympathiZed deeply with all who
were so unfortunate to get hurt.
