The game of football has developed
INTO such a scientific sport that he
athletes who enter into the intercol-
eglat contests held during the
months Of autumn are compelled to go
through a course of training as rigid
as that of a pugilist. This training is
given under the direction of men who
make the development and well-keep-
Ing of muscle and mind the study and
business of their lives.
The player is kept under a strict
discipline of diet and conduct that
makes of him a machine, and he is
watched and exercised and cared for
like a thoroughbred in preparation for
a great race. Whether the young men
Of the colleges get more enjoyment

our leading college teams is little known
OF by the thousands of people who cheer
SO frantically for the Dark Blue, the
Crimson the Red and Blue or the Orange
and Black on the days of the big games.
They see the padded, dirt-besmeared,
l~ong-haired giants lumber on the field,
battle for the flag whose glory is as
dear as life to them and vanish. wildly
struggling on the shoulders of their fran
tic comrades, if theirs is the victory, or
limp away alone and broken-hearted
through the throng if defeat has been
their bitter lot.
SYSTEMS MUCH ALIKE.
The training systems Of the promi-
nent elevens are alike in general
method. The men are cared for by a
professional trainer, two or three
"rubbers,' "a medical adviser, and are
fed by a force of cooks and walters
employed by the organization in which
the executive interests Of the college
affairs are conferred.
The Pennsylvania players live to-
in their quarters under the eyes
of their coach who is also chaplain
and head of the household. They are
one big family and are under as strict
surveillance as the young ladies at a
select boarding and finishing school.
They live on a schedule, and there is.
small hope of grace for the man that
fails to keep up with it's requirements.
The day opens at 1880 o'cock. Break
is on the table at Sis o'clock, and
each lusty youth umbles into the dining
room arm in arm with an appetite that
would make the average landlady hyster-
ical.
A dozen years ago the inlet was
on rare beef and toast and by
the end of the season had forgotten the
sensation produced by a square meal.

like the embodiment Of sure and sud-

 petition, always on and always strenu- ous between the degenerative and the regenerative, between the destructive and the constructive, the selfish and the Iunselfish, the holy and the unholy, the earthly and the heavenly in character and in society. So 1t comes to pass that there is such a race in business, in politics, in society--a race character ized by truth honesty, righteousness set before every citizen. There is no doubt about the outcome; it only needs that we have a true purpose, true faith in old-fashioned principles and in the possibilities of man under the goS- pei, patience, and looking unto Jesus.
 Suppose every disciple of Jesus should begin running this race in his business theories and practises, his po- litical methods, and his social and 1n- dustrial relations; not asking irreverent and unanswerable questions as to what Jesus would do in certain situations least of all attempting to answer those questions out of his own ignorance of the Lords mind and method-but pa tiently dealing with the evils that com- plicate and disgrace civilization, look ing to the Christ-model for inspiration and guidance and following where he leads what would be the response in the life of the community? Can anyone who believes in God and man have any doubt about it?
 Say what we will, though we deceive ourselves with social whte-les and ethical sophistries to the top of our bent, it still remains that we are not running this race set before us. the race whose course leads to the perfect. We are running all kinds of other races-the race for money for pleasure for the means of killing time and gaining a veneer of culture and distinction and the righteousness that is of conventional laws; and we are fooling ourselves with the notion that we are religious and humane and doing our full duty to the world when we are only seeking our own. Oh, we are very diligent and very swift in running along these other courses! And the pitiful, palpitating wrecks of those who have looked to us for an example, but could not strike cur pace and have been worsted, are lying all along the tracks; but the course on which we ought to be running, how s1- lent and deserted it is! And perhaps
 
 have become so accustomed to speeding along these courses in the name of con- science and rengion-looAins all the time for the face of the Christ-model and mistaking the grinning features of some Mammon or Bacchus for Him that we really think of ourselves as making fine time on the right course and are ever listening for the plaud1ts of the witnesses and the thrilling "Well- done' of our Lord. This is the sadness of it, that, with all our knowledge of the world and of history with all our fine philosophies and theories of every sort, we know so little of ourselves, and are so ready to be canonized by a sen timent that could not recognize saint if 1t met him face to face.
 And we cannot run this race until we get more faith; faith in the few simple trusds concerning life, faith in
