Christianity. The moral revolt centers
around the doctrine of future punishment
Uniyersalism is the organized protest OF the
conscience against the abhorrent doctrine
OF future punishment. IL is the protest
against the traditional hell.--Rey. Heller

REsPONSIBILITY--Cod has given us
each talents; he has endowed us with free
wills. the freedom which makes us divine.
We are free either to assist or defy God
To each of us the splendid gift of respon-
sib.Iity is given. We may shut our eyes
to this responsibility, but we shall be called
| TO n strict account for it.Rev. i. X.
Stone, Catholic. Cambridge. Mass.
THERE is NO DEATH-Heaven and
hell are In the soul OF man and wherever
he lives in accordance with the law OF God.
he will fnd Heaven. and wherever he dis
obeys that law. he will find hell. In the
spiritual view death is Of no consequence.
1t has no reality. God Is the God OF the
living, and rot of the dead. for no man can
die.-Rev. C. II. Eaton. Universalst. New
York City.
MODERN SCIENcE-The truly scientific
mind is humble and docile. not dogmatic
and arrogant; 1t ia always ready to welcome
new light. So one may safely put aside the
| thought that there is any real conflict be-
| tween the Bible and modern science. and
may honor the Holy Scriptures and honor
modern science by revering both and by
trusting both.--Rev. G. G. Hall. Presby-
terrain. Brooklyn. N. Y.
NO HEAVEN OF BLTSS-The belief that
death ushers man into an abode OF bliss
is too absurd to be ridiculous. Man makes
his own condition wherever he Is In the
universe. II man desires 10 end with per-
feet embodiment. be must commence by
assuming himself to be perfect and hold To

Baseball
UmpireS.

One would think that league presidents
would be Obliged to search for umpires
with lanterns, so undesirable Is the po-
sition of umpire in the eyes Of the pub
lie Yet II is probable that the National
League has enough applications on file
10 furnish a quartette Of men with in
dicators at every game played the coming
season. Out Of host OF aspirants 1t IS
hoped by everybody interested in the
great game that a staff will be selected
which WIFI fare better than did the UNI
pires OF 1896
The umpire is the cornerstone OF the
foundation upon which the national
game is built. He stands for law and
order. and without him anarchy would
reign on the diamond before the end OF
the first inning Besides. the umpire Is
the only really unprejudiced person on
the ball-feld. Some people in the grand
stand may say that they do not care
which way the score goes, just so IL IS
a good game Of ball; but they do. IN
consciously, perhaps, they have prefer
ence for one or the other OF the clubs.
even II II is the first time that they haTs
seen either OF them play. Some one man
on one Of the teams has won their ad-
miration before the end of the first IN
ming. and the spectator who claims 10
be disinterested and unprepudiced Is GER
tain 10 hope that that mans side Will
win out
BUT with the umpire It Is different. He
goes on the diamond with the wiso mat

I he may get through with n minimum OF
| kicking uppermost In his mind. He
| knows most OF the players on both teams,
and has no friends TO reward 0or no
ball-player even pretends that he is a
friend OF the umpire), and no enemies TO
punish.
Nine-tenths OF the robbed by-the-um-
pire talk by rooters and payers during
the season IS bosh. The other tenth Is
for the most part imagination. In a
few Isolated cases an umpire may de-
liberately give a home team the best Of
It in decisions, but this is not frequent,
and can be attributed to the fact that
umpires are not properly sustained by
those In authority.
Nearly all OF the trouble with umpires
last year might have been avoided. Play
ers were encouraged by their captains
TO make his life miserable by protesting
HIS decisions. Upon receipt Of COM
plant from the club manager. the
league president would transfer the UNI
pire TO some other city. The news that
he had been transferred because of such
complaint would then be heralded
through the papers. and when the UNI
pire reached his new field OF labor he
woued be browbeaten and bamboozled
with threats OF additional protests, II he
did not give decisions suitable to the
captain OF the team. Knowing that a
protest meant further humiliation, IN
many instances the umpire weakened
Between seasons nearly every ball
player will admit that the umpire is a
pretty good fellow, after al. While the
championship Is at issue. OF course. It is
different, and the player may endeavor
TO have you believe that this or that
umpire IS responsible for the loss OF a
game by his club. when, as a matter OF
fact. he knows better himself.

two new men had made the Giants
most formidable team.
Internal dissension in the Washington
and Pittsburg clubs made IL advisable
for those two organizations to iet some
OF their strongest players go elsewhere
in the cause OF harmony. The New York
club was fortunate In getting the two
men. Joyce and Beckley. whom 1t needed
en- much. without surrendering In return
any player who was needed In the team.
Unless all expectations go astray, th-
Giants will once more be in the struggle

work on the diamond, the Clevelands
would have pressed the Baltlmores much
more closely at the finish, and might,
nossibly. have beaten them out This
year he win enter the race with virtual
" the same team, and any Improvement
in work over last year will make his
club strong candidate for the cham
plonship title.
Arson, after some years Of patient ex-
perimenting, has succeeded in putting a
team aieId on which all competitors are
keeping a watchful eye. 1t has for seve-
raj seasons been a question of pitchers
with Uncle Adrian, and now he thinks
he has got several winners, in Briggs
and Denzer particularly II he Is not
mistaken, the Colts will have something
to say about that pennant.
The Bostons suffered greatly last year
when they lost the services OF Lowe by
accident. Barring accidents OF a similar
nature. and counting on much help from
Klobedantz, their new left-handed pitch
err, obtained from the Eastern League
last fan the Bean-Eaters have put in
a claim as possible pennant-winners.
The Cincinnatis by purchasing the re-
lease of Breltenstein, and exchanging
Smith and Fisher for Corcoran. believe
they have added so much to the
strength Of their team that they will
be fright in it, from bugle-call to fin
ish.
OF the other teams, the most improve
ment is expected from the Washingtons
and Louisvilles. Both have been grow
ing strong in the pitchers position. Nc
James, for the Senators. and Nell and
Hermann, for the Louisvilles, developed
most wonderfully at the end OF last sea-
son. The Philadelphia have a new
manager, in Stalllngs, who will try,
with the addition Of new men like
Lajoie, Geier. Fiheld, Wheeler, and
Brandt. to whip that unfortunate team

cot nd NJ one element, and by many
deals and trades have almost entirely
rebuilt their nine. They expect to proht
much through the establishment Of har-
mony among their players.
Brooklyn. too, has cut right and left,
and is recognizing by disposing OF Its
prize shortstop, Corcoran. 1t certainly
should get better results from any new
team than were realized last season.
The minor leagues enter on the year
with the brightest OF prospects. the
western and eastern organizations re-
tain their last seasons circuit. The At
lantic League, which made such signal
success In its first season, has absorbed
Richmond and Norfolk from the Vir-
ginia League, and Will have an octagon
cIrcuIt. The Interstate League points
with prlde to its successful first year. and
begins 1897 with a circuit Of eight cities
In the Niddle-West. which seem sure of
standing together during the season. The
New England League, the Western AS
ISOLATION. the New Jersey League. the
Texas League. and the Southeastern
League have secured the protection OF
the national agreement, and will have
claes in the great professional baseball
family. At this time the outlook for the
season Of 1851 Is most flattering.
There Is desire on the part OF the
Cleveland and Brooklyn clubs TO play
Sunday championship games at home
this wear. The Cleveland club insists
that it will fit up grounds beyond the
city limits and play on Sunday. In de-
dance OF the Sunday law and the pro-
test of the county officials. The Brook
lyns meet with much disbursement In
their similar scheme. The New York Le-
gislature has now increased the penal
~ for ball-players and clubs that defy
the Sunday law. and it is expected that
the Bridegrooms will remember the Sab
bath, to keep It holy.
The arrangement Of the National
League schedule for 1897 seems TO make
1t almost an impossbillty for any west
ern team to win the championship this
year, unless It can get runaway start
The three strong eastern clubs-Balti-
more, Boston. and New York-wnl finish
the season at home, with an average OF
IS out Of their last 40 games. On the
contrary, the Cincinnatis, Clevelands.
and Chicagos reverse this order, and are
scheduled almost constantly on the road

right from the start TO outclass
every team in the race, and their
form was not a false one. This
year there are no prospects OF d
valkoyer. The Baltimores are just as
strong as they were last spring. maybe
a mite stronger, but their work lies be-
fore them in heavier sections. Four OF
their opponents have been greatly
strengthened, and a fifth one. the one
which for two years pushed them hard
right I'D to the goal. will be no weaker.
The New York, Chicago. Cincinnati. and
Boston teams on form should play an
average of % per cent. stronger ball than
they did last year. and the Clevelands
ought to 90 as weK. II not better than,
they did in 1896.
Nine of every ten baseball enthusiasts
would name the Baltimore. Cleveland
New York, Boston, Chicago and Gin
cinnati clubs as those which will finish
among the first six. Still. there may be
surprises, as base-balrs other name IS
uncertainty" But, whatever club wins
the pennant this year, its players will
realize that they have been in a killing
race.
Nearly every National League team
will begin the season with some differ
ence in its composition from year ago.
The Baltimores VIII have their great
third -baseman, McGraw. back in his po-
sltion, after q years absence, the result
Of typhold-fever contracted while train
ing I'm the South last March. AS win
ming ball-player, McGraw has few peers,
and possibly no superiors. Brode will
be supplanted in centre-held by Stencil,
Of the Pittsburgs OF 1896. Stencil is not
so good fielder as Brodie, but he is
much>better batsman and base-runner
The trade last November, by which STEM
Eel was ItltdStu " inc DdlliiIOleS lOt
Brodie and Donnelly. was the sensational
deal Of the year in baseball.
Manager Hanlon's other team inno-
walton will be the release Of two old
standby pitchers-Esper and Mcmahon
and substituting in their place two new
stars, Nops and Corbett. The latter
will attract unusual attention this year
on account of the great flstjc battle in
which his brother was one Of the stars.
Neither Corbett nor Nops received a
thorough test last season. though in the
few games in which they played late in
the fall they met with fair success.
Probably the team which will show the
greatest Improvement over last year
is the New Yorks. The changes which
made a winner out Of loser took
place six weeks before the close Of
the race last fall, and in that remnant
Of the season proof was given that the
