The Missfonary Cause.

Lack of knowledge is responsible for
lack of interest in the missionary cause.
The romance and heroism of missions
are absolutely unknown to the vast ma
jority of our church members They
are ignorant of the very names which
ought to thrill every Christian heart
with inspiration to self sacrifice. No
wonder they do not givel And this lam
entable lack is the result of the want
of family training. When fathers and
mothers are interested in missions,
when they talk Of missionary achieve
ments, when they set the example of
giving regularly and systematically,
when they invest the whole subject
with the thought of heroism and speak
of missionaries as personal friends, to
be prayed for and helped, then the
children will receive the missionary i'm
pulse, be trained in the missionary
spirit, and we shall have a generation
of givers. Rev. E. F. Snow in Con-
gregationalist.

e'His heart is fixed. trusting in the
Lord. y
Doubt gives the death stroke to all
resolution. Confidence alone is strong.
He that hesitates is lost for any enter
prise. Conviction, assurance, firm faith
and trust-these drive the wheels of
progress What one believes firmly he
is apt to regard with feelings intense in
proportion to his trust. Things once
settled definitely do not often allow Of
much after debate The mind has come
to clear ideas, the heart is fixed, and
the course of action decided upon-then
how much easier it is for one to livel
Distressing doubts find no place for
entrance; vacillation is banished,
strength of purpose and joyousness of
soul grow, because the course is clear
and consistent.
Most Of the discomfort of life, the un-
happiness and misery, would be Danish
ed if only each person would settle for
himself once and forever his belief in
God and purpose to serve Him obedient-
ly. It would require will power and
submission, but it would give liberty
and contentment. Itwould change sighs
into songs and weariness into restful-
ness.
The expressions of supreme and un-
questioning trust in God heard from
aged saints often sound strange to half
hearted disciples, but they are true to
fact and should be natural to all follow
ers of Christ. If He is the Saviour, trust
Him fully, obey Him absolutely, love
Him devotedly.
Many wish they might have more love
for Christ, but never use the means Of
increasing the love they do have. Serve
Him diligently, and love will increase.
Trust His word, and faith will grow.
Rest in His promises, and the heart will
be fixed.

A HIGHER Education.

The sunlight of true education alone
can disperse the gathering clouds of
materialis1n, of envy, of discomfort, of
irreligion-not narrow training Of the
mind, not concrete study alone. Such
an education would merely awaken the
laboring masses to a stronger and more
misguided conception of the injustice of
the present order of things.
Such an education, the higher 1t is
carried, the more it units them fer their
surroundings. 1t would make them, like
George, in "Uncie Toms Cabin, +" still
more discontented with their lot. Such
an education breeds socialists and an
archists.
No, it must be broader, a higher, a
truer education. Hebrew

Familiarity may breed contempt, but
no matter however familiar CASTOR,
George Stallings' new pitcher, may ever
become with Comiskey's Apostles, it is
difficult to believe that there will ever be
a time when he would be more fully JUS
titled in holding them in supreme con-
tempt than yesterday, when, on his first
appearance before the much-vaunted
sluggers, they were able in nine innings
to make just three paltry hits off his de-
livery.
Two Apostles were on the bases in the
second inning before any one was out,
yet not a run came in. The needed hit
was not there. The Saints could not even
bat an error out of some Tigers tingling
claws.
That was the time when the iron was
hot. A good hit then, and Gaston's finish
might have been visible far In the empy-
rean
But the hit came not, and the Saints
finish was plainly discernible over back
of the old barn there, down in the slough
of despond.
The best the Apostles could do was to
save a shut-out. which they did in the
fifth, on Spies base on balls, followed
by KatolTs hot drive into CASTOR and
Balls nice hit to center
Katell pitched a nice game, and with
proper support at the bat would have
won There is something familiar about
that sentence. And it is not from any
of Shakespeares plays, either, unless
possibly Loves Labor Lost
To any Detroit tourists who are visit
ing in St. Paul the following account of
the game may be of some interest:
Katoll took Barrett's foul, and Elber-
field, after presented base, was thrown
out by Spies. DUNCAN was retired on
Rrounder to Ball.
Ball bunted foul to Shaw and Eagan
threw Geier out. Burke walked on Gas
toms wildness. but was thrown out on a
trial for third, after LaIly had been hit
by pitched ball.
Three Tigers failed to get the leather
out OF the lozenge, and hence saw not the
sack.
Then Glenalvin came up and Castor.
of the French academy, recognizing in
his antagonist one of the leading figures
in English literature, paid the interna-
tional literary compliment of a base on
balls. This; be 1t understood, is. the pre-
scribed salute whenever one of Dumas
heroes steps QOWn OUT Oh MS DOCK 10 the
pitchers box and any OF Sir Walter
Scotts friends come to the plate. 1t
must have been a reverent regard for this
historical custom that made the Apostles
afraid to bat Glenalvin around, although
1sbell, who apparently is not very well
up on the etiquette of the truly literary
base ball cult. did threaten a breach OF
international courtesy by polzinE a fine
single into center field, which made Glen
alvin go to third; willy nilly, or nolens-
volens, as they say in Boston.
But Preston famed the air. Spies hit
an easy one. at Elberfeld, and Glenalvin
was thrown out at the plate. Katon

Staliings gave Glen a pop-up, and Shaw

rett's fly to LaIly, as the inning was
over.
Three of the Apostles sent epistles to
the infield and the Tigers did little bet
ter, even after Elberfeld opened with a
hit and DUNCAN sacrificed, Preston max
ing two nice catches.
A fly to Barrett and two grounders to
Elberfeld put the locals out of 1t again.
Eagan flew to Burke, but Stallfngs and
Shaw landed on Katoll for good singles.
Preston let the second go through him
and Stallings went down to third. Gas
ton hit grounder to 1sbell, who fumbled
1t too long to catch Stallings at the plate,
although he did nail CASTOR. Then Geier
permitted Shaw to score by fumbling
Barrett's grounder, and Elberfeld closed
the inning when Katoll threw him out.
Preston was thrown out by Eagan, but
Spies got base and soon the locals got
a run, too, and 1t looked as though they
had been merely waiting for their guests
to take the first of the ice cream. Ball
got as far as third, thanks to throw by
CASTOR that went into center field, but
was left there when the Frenchman
threw out Geier.
Slaters homer, after two were out in
the sixth, helped the Tigers a little.
The Saints then went out in order for
two consecutive innings
In the seventh Stallings flew to Pres
ground drive over Glenalvin's garden.
Katoll caught him at second, on Gas
tons sharp rap. but Balls low throw
spoiled the double play. Barrett drove
out single, but Glenalvin took Elber-
fields liner and ended the inning. The
eighth was tale of sorrow for the home
guard. DUNCAN opened by promenading
to first. billiard gained the sack on
Balls tumble. Slater bunted and Katoll
did not get 1t cieanly, filing the sacks.
Eagan hit a hot one, which struck
Katoll and bounded toward but not at
Ball. Two runs scored and another came
on Stallings' fly to Burke. Ball failed to
get Shaw's drive, and Eagan scored also.
Preston muffed Gaston's fly, but Shaw
had been afraid TO go down and he was
caught by throw. Barrett flew to Lal-
ly, but the visitors had four in.
After Katoll lined one to Stallings,
Ball walked and Geier advanced him by
a sharp one at CASTOR. Burke hit a hot
one at Elberfeld, who reached it, but
couldn't get 1t to first in time. Ball took
advantage of the play to try and run
home, but Slater shot the ball down and
he was caught.
1t was one. two, three on each side in
the ninth. Score:

WaddeH, the proud ''Rube,' gave Georgie
some straight talk, and several times told
