SUNDAY BASEBALL.


Ia his sermon Sunday al the Chris
tian church Rev J. Clarence Read said
that he considered baseball playing a
most unholy desecrauon Of the Sab
bath that he bitterly opposed the sin,
but bore the sinners no malice. that
they were not 10 blame. but should be
led Alright through higher Christian
Influences. This. he said, could only
be accomplished by the example OF a
better life. and not by methods Of
harshness. He said the Christian peo-
pie Of ArdmOre need not expect the
world to honor the Lords day more
than they. The history OF all Chris
tian reformers Is that professors Of
religion have, led in all reforms but
never followed The driven throng.
In the course of lecture on Sunday

Henderson OF the University OF Chi

religious exercises. is a valuable and
available means Of promoting moral
ity and preventing vice and crime

pOrtunities. know that in this posi-
tiOn I am orthodox, but after going
over the whole ground the conclu-

These boys In the years Of adoles-
cence are entering a new world-a
world fun Of energy, They do not
know what to do with themselves
They must be kept busy, given con.
stant outdoor exercise and recreation,
especially on Sunday when they have
nothing 10 do. Instead Of going 10 the
saloons how much better 20 have them
participate In or witness baseball
games and other sports"
