STRONG SERMON ON
 RELIGION OF AHAB
(continued From Third Pase)

(continued From Third Page)
 vert. however. much respect you may have for those who sincerely perform these rites thinking that therein they do God service could you have anything but contempt for me. it matters not under what duress it was brought about. It would be plain case of selling out in matters religious. I am convinced that Ahab has many successors today. though in his day there were none like unto him in this regard.
 Need of Conviction.
 We need in all our people today more of honest clear-cut conviction as to what Gods will for us is and more manliness of faith to live up to that will. We live in Snd of religious liberty, where every one may serve God according to the die tates of his conscience, or sell out to the detation of some one elses conscience Ought we not to grow in this favorable environment a robustness or conviction, without which religion looses it's visility. We should be busy forming and cultivat- ing intelligent convictions of religious truth from the will and word of God and disciplining our characters in practicing them as our most precious possessions in life This loose notion that any cult or creed will do really means that no cult or creed is necessary and leads to a color
  up to it. Let us hold the mystery of the faith in good conscience which some having put aside have made shipwreck concerning the faith. Cherish Gods truth as you have been able to attain it as precious above price, and sell not myself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah.
 In this we are not advocating divisions in families and societies and church. Rather we are pointing out the true and only road to unity and peace. If your differences in convictions annoy you it is only to be settled by searching further for the truth. We will come together not by suppressing our convictions or selling them to conserve our convenience but by searching for truth and duty in Gods word and in the conscience with a deter mination to be loyal thereto. If the clutches ever come together into unity of faith and practice it will be by further finding the truth and not by surrendering what we now have nor selling out for sentimental ends. The Ahab principle is wrong and suppressive of all true piety, selling convictions for convenience. Oiff Sunday schools and prayer meetings are slimly attended not because men do not believe they ought to attend upon them but because they have sold out that con | yiction for convenience.

People Have Sold Out.

The Lords people have sold out to the god of pleasure, and religion is weak and
 mpotent. By this sin Ahab went to his doom By the same sin many are making a wreck of their piety today. Let there come a revival of conviction of truth such as will bring in again the days when the Service of God was an irresistible inn pulse and men could but speak what they had seen and heard Let us first believe God above every one else and then seek to do his will in life above all things else, thus in religion our yea will be yea and our nay nay" and whatsoever is more than this cometh of evil

l It Is not believed that any more clubs will drop out of the Alabama-Tennesse league. The best that any of the teams is doing is paying running expenses and several of them are not doing as well as that. However, the baseball promoters in the six towns are looking into the future and see success ahead and will not allow their teams to drop out for the want of few dollars.
 P. S. Smithwick. shortstop for the Huntsville team, has asked for his release because of i'll health and he will go back to his home in Memphis. A member of the Paducah team in the K. I. T. league has been signed to take Smithwieks place. The Huntsville teams fielding average is .929, and Fisher. catcher leads with per- centage of 9S1 Prout is leading in bat ting with a percentage of .292. the team average being 20.

The Coal Barons go against Little Rock for a series of game beginning today and some hard fighting is expected as Vaughan's team has got to retrieve the recent losses in New Orleans and Mem phis Dunham will more than likely work for the Barons today and the matt nee crowd will be able to get line on him. Notwithstanding the six straight losses the Barons have put up some stiff fights The matinee crowds have done even more roofing than when the team was winning Another chance will be of fered the fans today to size up a new pitcher at long range.

Memphis. July 17-(Special)-M -Mlnahan lost his first game of the season to Mem phis today before the largest crowd that has witnessed ball game in this city this year. More than 4O0o people filled ev- cry seat in the grand stand and on the bleachers. and the Coal Barons' share or the gate money was the only soothing part of the programme as Minahan was wild and Umpire Mullanc was responsible for many close decisions being rendered against Birmingham interest.
 Each club made couple of tallies in their fourth trials. hut Minahan's three bases on fnfls and a couple of safe drives in the eighth inpins changed the com plexion of the score which ended to 7.
 Opposing Mnahan was Mcintyre who showed his best curves and speediest ef- forts of the year. Added to that he pos scssed perfect control and finished with cut issuing q solitary pass He allowed but three men to face him in five of the nine innings and was most effective in the eighth, when Hollinssworth and Minahan secured singles
