SUNDAY BASE BALL.
[Coutinued from fourth page. ]

That this continued to be their prac-
tice wherever the Christian Church
was established. is plain. Paul, whom
he was returning FROM his mission to
Macedonia and Achaia stopped at
Troas. There he tarried seven days.
On The seventh day the Christians did
not assemble for worship. But we
read that: upon the first day Of the
week"-the last Of his Stay when
we were assembled together to break
bread Il. O., to unite in the Lord 9
supper), Paul discoursed with them. :"
So that it is clear, this church Of
Troas planted and trained by Paul,
was in the habit of consecrating the
first day Of the week to public wor-
ship. And again we read Paul's IN
struction to the Corinthian Church
rs follows: "Now concerning the
collection for the saints, as l have
given order to the Churches Of Gala
tia, even so do ye. Upon the first day
Of the week let everyone of you lay
by him in store as God has prospered
him, that there be no gatherings
when l GOMEZ Nothing can be plain
er than that social worship was ap-
pointed for Sunday in every Christian
Church by an inspired Apostle And
again we find the inspired and high
ly honored Apostle John designating
the first day Of the week as the Lord s
day"
The testimony of the early fathers,
l--as the Christian writers of the first
three centuries of the Christian era
are called, while having no inspired
authority, is valuable and trustwor-
thy evidence establishing the fact
shat by apostolic authority the early
church did observe the first day of the
week as the Christian sabbath. Let
us take glance at that testimony.
Pliny, the younger. not himself q
Christian, in his celebrated letter to
The emporGF Eraiap, wrote that the
Christians were in the habit Of meet
ing on stated day to worship
Christ. That thfs stated day. was
Sunday the concurrent testimony Of

Deacon Carter could remember the
days when the minister lined out the
hymn and the congregation sang 1t.
Although he had long been too feeble
to go to church, his opinions still found
their way TO the people.

in the old mans hearing. That
teacher from Boston is going to play
every Sunday while Annie 1rumbull

The deacon raised his stick and his
quavering voice at the same time.

Early in the six .eenth century the
natives of Porto Rico plotted to kill
the Spaniards on the island. There was
much doubt, however, as to whether or
not it was possible to kill a Spaniard.
Many of the natives insisted that it
was not. Finally it was decided to
make an experiment. A young Span
lard who was passing through an In
dian village was Hospitality received
and fed and then a number Of natives
accompanied him on his journey. When
he arrived at river his companions
offered to carry him across. The young
man accepted and was taken up by
two men and carried into the water
on their shoulders. Arriving near the
middle of the river, they threw him
in and held him down until he ceased
to struggle. Then they carried him
ashore with profuse apologies, loudly
proclaimng that they stumbled by ac-
cident and calling upon him to arise
and continue his journey But the
young man did not move and finally
the natives were convinced that he
was actually dead. Having secured
the proof they wanted, the leaders of
the rebellion at once began a general
attack upon the Spaniards.

Even though you may not be pros

appearance of prosperity. 1t is sound

down when they are most in need Of a

prosperity with extravaganza. Small

Norman-Al-Aouar, an Arabian king
who reignod long, long ago at Hirah,
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him a wondrous palace. This
the architect did, and when it was
done Il single stone fastened the whole
structure, and the cOlOrs of the walls
changed frequently during the day.
The king was greatly pleased and
showCred all kinds of rich gifts upon
the builder with the lavishness of ori-
entail kings. But mOnarchs were
trcacherous in those old days, and it
occurred TO the king that Sennemar
might build a palace equal in beauty
or even superior for some rival ruler.
Tie moro he thought over it the
more jealous he became until one day
lie ordered the architect to be thrown
from the top of the palace TO make
certain that no duplicate palace would
be made. After this the king was sat
isfied that his palace was the only one,
and the Arabians regarded it as one
of the wonders of the world.

ees, and Dicky was one of them. What
became of the others he did not know,
and he didn't care just at present. He
was too much taken up with his own
affairs. From his perusal of the first
advertisement, six weeks ago, that
read, "Wanted - Bright, clean, intelli-
gent young men," etc, up to the pres
cnt time Dicky had been working as
he had never worked, simply to find
work And now he had just 10 cents
left.
AS last resort he tried the industrial
homes and the missions for men. He
was sure he could get a job of some
kind there. But they turned him
away.
Your they exclaimed. "Why, you
oughtn't TO have any trouble to get
job, fellow that looks like you. It's
not your kind that we cater to. It's
the deadbeats. If we took your kind
in, the others would be frozen out. We
only give jobs to men that can't get
jobs-that's ALL We can't do anything
for you"
Now, that isn't exactly what they
said, but that is what they meant. And
Dicky could see that it was true. Bum

and was received with open arms But
Dicky's kind they turned away.

POWDER AND GUNS.
Evidence That They Were Used Long
Before the Christian Era.

Evidence That They Were Used Long
Before the Christian Era.
There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages Of the past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long be-
fore the Christian era, prohibited the
making OF war with cannonS and guns
or any kind of firearms. Quintus Cur
thus informs us that Alexander the
Great met with fire weapons in Asia,
and Philostratus says that AleXander's
conquests were arrested by the use of
gunpowder Ii is also written that
those wise men who lived in the cities
of the Ganges "overthrew their enc
mics with tempests and thunderbOlts
shot from the walls" Julius Africanus
mentions shooting powder in the year
275. II was used in the siege of Con-
stantinople in G6S, by the Arabs in 600,
at Thessalonica in 904, at the siege of
Belgrade in 1913, by the Greeks in ma
val battle in zoos, by the Arabs against
the Iberians in 1147 and at Toulouse in
1918.
II appears to have been generally
known throughout civilized Europe as
early us 1300 and soon thereafter it
made its way into England, where it
was manufactured during the reign of
Elizabeth, and we learn that few
arms were possessed by the English in
1910 and that they were used at the
battle of Crecy in 134G.--Cassier's Mag

''If.''


Joseph Chamberlain, the English
statesman. was once indebted to a
nursery rhyme for a great oratorical
hit. In one of his speeches he was
criticising Lord Beaconsfield and Lord
Salisbury on their return from Berlin,
where they had been carrying on nego-
tiations with Bismarck.
Both had made speeches explaining
their actions, and one Of them in the
course of his oratory used the word
'if'' so many times as to give Mr..
Chamberlain Il chance in his reply to
make one of those popular illusions
which are remembered longer than any
logic.
What the honorable gentleman has
said" he remarked, reminds me of Il
rhyme l learned from my nurse:
"Tf all the seas were bread and cheese,
II all the rivers were ink,
If all the lakes were currant cakes,
What should we have to drink"
The effect on the audience was tre-
mendous. No one ever forgot that
'if."

The Cnnnry's Claws.

If you have Il canary or other cage
bird look to its claws from time to time,
for in a state of captivity the birds
nails grow so long that they need cut
ting. If this be neglected the bird is in
danger of getting its nails caught in the
cage and hanging there till it dies. Use
a sharp pair of nail scissors and take
care not to cut more than just the
tips Of the nails. If you hold the bird
in a good light you will see little rcd
thread in each nail. This you must
avoid or you will draw blood and hurt
your little pet.
