scribed no set fast days. His answer
shows the voluntary quality of fasting in
the Christian church In His sermon on
eous asceticism of the Pharisees, He clearly
allowed the practice itself, but He leaves
the frequency, and the extent, and the oc-
casion of its performance to the conscience
and circumstances of each individual.
In the New Testament fasting is re-
garded, Doctor Haines continued, either as
a token of sorrow or ameans of preparation
for the discharge of spiritual duties. Many
of the earlier Christians observed the ordi-
nary Jewish fasts, but Irenaus. who died
about the year 200, speaks of a fast of about
a day before Easter. and says mot only is
the dispute respecting the day, but also re-
speeding the manner of fasting; some thlnk
they ought to fast only one day., some two.
and some more days; and this diversity Is
not a matter that has just sprung up In our
time, but long ago among those before u.s."
Before the end of the second century 1T
is recorded that weekly fasts were observed
in the churches. They were not enforced.
In the year 541 it was decreed that If any
one neglected to observe the stated times
of fasting he should be declared an offender
against the laws of the church. In the
eighth century the season OF fasting was
extended from thirty-siX days to forty days.
not commanded in the Scriptures, yet there
is nothing in the New Testament to prohibit
the individual or a church from utilizing
the lenten or any other season for special
religious observances if they SO desire.
Many of the nOn-Episcapal churches call
upon their communicates, the Doctor said,
to observe the first week in the year as a
week of prayer. The main objection to a
fixed season like the week of prayer or Lent
is the practical one, that by crowding re-
ligiOn into a special time it tends to leave
ly. Yet, if one feels he can make a wise
spiritual use of such seasons he is free to
use them.

SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Many Games with Crowds of Spectators on
the Outskirts of the City.

Many flames WITH CrOWuS OF spectators on
the Outskirts of the City.
The sunshine and crisp air, yesterday,
made the conditions favorable for base
ball, and ON the outskirts of the city,
wherever an inviting place to lay out a
diamond could be found, the amateur play
ers. from those striving for professional ex-
~cellence to the unscientifc pitchers of balls
and wielders of bats, crowds
sile e of TO the witness erowd games depended hae
upon the number of friends the contesting
mines had to cheer their plays. but the
discipline and promised to give a game
worth noting had spectators numbering
anywhere from 500 to 1000 OF more. 1t was
not what those who insist On q rigid OBJ
servance of the Sabbath would commend.
but it was fun for the boys and the people
who would rather see a baseball game than
eat. If this Sunday playing keeps up at
the pace with which it has begun, there
will not be a vacant lot out of reach of the
police unOccupied during the summer.
thing to give mines such titles that the
fancy and degree of culture of con-
testants suggest. For instance, there
were out yesterday the Sharks and
ming up a score of 40 to II. the battery of
the victors being Kinney and Schiller. who.
although unknown to fame. take as much
pride in their work as any blue-ribbon pro-
fessional. The, opposing battery, whose
has only eleven men to boast of. was
Gering and Cohalone. They spent last
evening in telling how it happened. The
Meek and NOble-street players had a better
game, as the former, with Barney and two
Kelleys to Till the points, defeated their
contestants by 10 to 8 in eleven innings,
Many and Foley pitching and catching for
the Noble-street nine. The Irish Hill Sham
rocks had a struggle for supremacy with
the Cadets, of the same locality, and de-
feated them, the score being IL TO 10. Con-
nOrs and Cook served the Shamrocks at the
points, while Sullivan and Duffey were in
for the Cadets. Demos made a catch with
one hand of which his friends are proud,
and Cook covered himself with glory IN
making a home run. In addition to these
games there were fifty or more of less sig
n%ificance, but not of fun. But among all
the players of yesterday there were some
who in a year or two no doubt will be
wearing the uniform of a professional club.
