That crime and disease both run
on the advance wave Of modern
civilization TO our mind, is a clear
fact. The fault Of the first is the
inadequate machinery OF moral
and religious teaching. What we
want, are good men and women
going about doing good, feeding
the hungry, clothing the naked,
ministering to the sick, c~OnsOltng
the distressed and lifting up the
dOwniallen, not in lofty sermons
by high salared preachers, nor in
splendid music by church chOirs,
nor in closely temples whose gild-
ed dOmes battle in the vapOrs OF
the rolling clouds, nor in the large
and rich congregations, who sport
silks, plumes and diamonds, nor
in magnificent rituals to be repeat
ed by mechanical exactness, but
what the age here at home needs,
is a practical development of the
fact, that religion has no faVorites,
that the man in the gutter is in
greater need OF the services of her
alters in practical sympathetic
help, than the rich man who rolls
by in his chariot.

Charles Edwards, a Brooklyn man,
has invented a mechanical baseball
pitcher that throws a ball at suitable
intervals to the batsman. The ma
chine is placed at one end of a small
building, with sides of wire netting
and roof and ends of wood. A motor
turns a wheel, actuating a powerful
spring with small cup at it's ex-
extremity. The balls run along a
chute, drop into the cup one after an
other and are discharged at intervals
of Is seconds. The balls roll back
to appoint behind the machine, thanks
to the slanted floor At the point
where the slants meet the balls are
taken up by the machine and carried
along the chute to the cup, thus con-
tinuing the pitching indefinitely.
