Is there such a thing as a baseball
hoodoo? 1t looks like it. Early in the
season the three leading teams were
Cleveland, Baltimore, Cincinnati, in
the order above. This vas the order for
D long time. Then Baltimore made "a
squirt and got on top. Next it was Gin
cinnati's turn to squirt. In II straight
games the Reds went ahead. They con-
tinued winning till they had left the
Clevelands far behind. They tackled
the Baltimofes and left them, too, be.
hind. The C~incinnatis had SO good a
lead that it only needed the average
good playing CT a first class team to
make them sure Of victory. They had
already "a long lead over the Baltimores,
their nearest rivals. Then suddenly, in
the most u~naccountable manner, the
Cincinnatis began to lose. First they let.
nine straight games slip through their
fingers. They lost to the Pittsburgs,
they lost to the Chicagos, they even lost
three consecutive games TO tho Louis
villes. 1t looked as though they were
trying themselves on tie losing side,
ard perhaps they were. 1t locked ms
though they had been paid to give the
game to every club that fought against
them. They were shortly far behind the
ClevelanGs.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER u. 1896
New Nonsectarian Movement.

A strangely eloquent sermon was
preached i'll Philadelphia by Rev. DR..
j. Leonard Levy in the Temple Keneseth
Israel OH the Jewish Day OF Atone
ment. DR.. Levy, a Jew, seems to be
taking the first practical step toward
that reunion of all the seots which the
pope and Greek and Protestant religious
leaders have been talking of SO long.
But DIR. Levy would make the union
broader than they. He would include
IN this mighty order which he seeks to
establish not only Christian sects, but
Jew and Mohammedan.
DR.. Levy said the Jew had been the
I,apegoat for the sins of mankind. In
these pathetic words he spoke of him:
The jew Is what he Is because the world has
nade him 81, for the world seized him by the
Lair and dragged him through the dirt and
dust and mire. 1t %trampled him under foot;
1t beat him; it bastinadoed him; it spat upon
him. Wounded and sore, the scapegoat rose
up. With a look full of resignation. he turned
upon the assailing world md said: "And yet
for all this you shall have my book of books
to read. to cheer you, to bring you hope. to
elevate you. And yet for all this you shall
have my psalms to sing to lend your soul
wings to fly Godward. And yet for all this
my physicians shall heal you. my poets shall
sing for you, my statesmen shall legislate for
you, my musicians shall charm you, and my
men Of talent shall afford you Joy. And yet
for all this you shall have my Brother Jesus.
\ jew like me, horn of Jewish parents like me,
raised in the Jewish faith like me, who died u
jew like me. and him n jew you may worship.
that from the jew you may find the way to
eternal peace. Tread Inc under foot, spurn
me, cast me cut, send me to the Wilderness.
MT, kc Ele your scapegoat-I defy the world.
1t cannot shake reason from my mind nor faith
from L ) heart
OF the order which DIR. Levy hopes to
found, he said:
see around me millions Of people believing
IN God the Father Of all, yet rot at peace noi
4 love with men, their human brothers. Can
.ot there be started some movement that shall
: sten the day of universal peace and love?
/ hat | believe there can ! have often said. For
years out in my western home on the golden
shores of the Pacific dear, trusted friends and
I would oft1n talk Of such a possibility, and to
the inspiration OF those conversations tho
world will owe whatever Is feasible in the
plan ] submit.
This is n possibility painted by reason and
hope, by love and duty. 1t may be the begin
ming of the end. The good time shall come
when no religious denomination shall be the
scapegoat of another. Men shall BIO at ono
with each other. In the temple of man the
works of man shall be rehearsed for the bene-
fit of man and the glory of God. The sccts
stand at the open gates Of brotherhood. Let
them enter in the name Of the fatherhood Of
GCd aid the lrotherLCCd of man.
