Unless one is a devotee of the sport
and attends regularly he is not ac-
luainted with the players and procures
a score card. This he often uses as a
IAN, but the announcement form does not
serve the purpose very appropriately
A unique scorer ard fan is shown in
the accompanying illustration It
combines the principal features OF the
hand scorer sold extensively al the
present time and can also serve as
fan very easily. BY judicious arrange
ment of the scoring apparatus enough

class of patrons reached and also the
large number, it ought to serve as
good advertising medium-Chicago

Seven Years Illness Ended by Death.
 Death.
 After an illness of seven years dura- tion Richard R. Pearson passed away Tuesday morning, at his home in Sey- mour, aged thirty years.
 He was born in Seymour January T. I1S74 and was educated in the public schools. He was graduate of the Seymour high school After his grad uation he entered the employ of the Farrel Foundry and Machine Company of Ansonia, as an order clerk and later as draughtsman. Upon becoming i'll he went to Saranac Lake in the Adj rondack mountains in search of health, land later to Vermont and to North Car olina.
 About two years ago he returned to | Seymour MT. Pearson married on March 19, 1902. Miss Catherine B Me- Even, of New Haven, who survives him, as do also his parents, MT. and Mrs. Richard Pearson, ST., and sister and two brothers, Miss Ida L., William R. and Morris A.
 He had many true friends who will sincerely sympathize with his relatives in their a iction and mourn his early death. He won by real worth of char acter the respect and esteem of those who came in contact with him.

ken into Africa or China, but most like ly it will take you into the modern city and into an ordinary avocation. But it would involve self-denial and sacrifice You cannot enthrone Christ without imbibing His spirit of Saviour-hood and you cannot save men without bearing their burdens. This means suf- fering, but what of that? You will cheerfully suffer for home or children or business or profession or any other thing in life worth having Will you shrink from it when it comes to that greatest thing of all, your life mission, your immortal character, your eternal destiny? God forbid.
 Finally, let us glance at some of the rewards of spiritual sincerity for. verily, great are its rewards. First of all, spir- itual sincerity brings a growing con- sciousness that divine plan is being worked out in your life. John was con- scious of that and so may 1t be with you and me It is a great thing. my brother, to be working out divine mission in your life It brings to you a wonderful sense of rightness and secur- ity. What can separate you then, from the love of God? Who can then lay anything to the charge of Gods elect? Is there any rock so firm as that? Then, again, spiritual sincerity brings a consciousness that you are being used to mediate the spirit of God into other lives. Is there anything so noble and fine as to bring sinful life into vital relationship with Christ? Is there any joy to be compared with that? That is why there is such high, fine note of joy in the life of John and in every oth- CT life of spiritual sincerity. Great is their reward in the salvation of sinful men. They see of the travail of their souls and are satisfied.
 And last, but not least, a life of spir- itual sincerity will ultimately receive the personal approval of Christ. He is the Son os God. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. It will be we'll with you if He approves you in that great day. Listen to His eulogy on this notable life of John:
 What went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, tHty tHdL wear SOit IdlultHi are IT kings houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you among them that are borne of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist'
 And something like that will come to you and me also if we live spiritually sincere.
 Thou hast been faithful in few things. will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"
