Golf has not yet enjoyed the impetus OF inter
national matches that has come 20 other sports
like tennis. rowing ard track athletics but the
day is probably not far of when teams OF English
and American golfers will meet There is already
talk of inviting a team OF representative English
men over here next season, and after that VIII
doubtless come meeting between the women
players of the two countries. In discussing this
latter possibility, Miss Frances c. Grscorn. the
former American champion. has some interesting

DR.. SAVAGE HOPEFUL OF THE FUTURE.

The Rev Dr. Minot }. Savage preached yester-
dav morning at the Church of the Messiah on
..Ies,s's Proclamation of the Coming Kingdom of
God" He said in part
Jesus was one OF the forward lockers. He be-
liexed that the Kingdom of God was coming. not
that IL had been. I think II is very rernarkaple.
in view of the fact that for fifteen hundred years
II has been the predominant teaching OF that sec
tfon of the Church which calls itself orthodoX.
that Jesus came to save men from the result OF
the fall of Adam: that so far as any record OF
Ias1Is is concerned He had never heard OF the
Garden of Eden of the existence OF Adam. L
do not mean by this. of course, that he was igno-
rant of these things; but is it not little strange
that he never mentions Paradise; never speaks or
+f.a fall or the being cast out OF Eden .
