The Doctor was also a guest Friday.
1t is Of the writer's opinion that
the physician cloves someone" and
someone" loves the physician.
At the recent party given by Miss
Mittie Peck, TO her young lady guests
Misses Wills and MeCrearY, OF
Paris, IL can truthfully be said that
IL was a very swell affair-a whIrlwind
from start TO finish, IN fact one OF
the most enjoyable occasions Of the
good old summer time. Many hand
some gowns were worn by the ladies'.
Miss Peck is a young lady Of,unusually
rare beauty, a fine musician and an
artist.
Col. Bob Hooton, accompanied by
his private secretary. Mr.. Shootie,
were guests OF the great Carnival at
Centralia Thursday. Both the gentle
man had the call and we're there with
the gOods-Mr. HOoton being very
much in evidence.
Miss Mittie Peck who has been the
guest OF Miss Wills, Of Paris, for two
weeks will return Sunday.
Miss Ethyl Bybee wholhas been quite
sick Is better.
One OF the most unique and most
entertaining little luncheons that has
ever been partaken OF or around the
Springs, for many moons, was that
which happened on Friday afternoon
when Miss Stella Peck and her
brother, Fred, entertained a few
select friends. These good, kind little

COMMUNICATION
Sunday Base Ball Playing a. Viewed
From a Christian Standpoint,

Ever since the fall Of man, ever
since sin entered into the world, there
has been differences, contentious and
strife in regard to almost every sub
ject that came up for discussion.
These differences, these contentious,
these strifes, were often the results
of men not looking at the subjects Of
controversy from the same stand
point.
So then IL men would see eye TO eye,
II they would agree in regard to any
subject under discussion, they must
try, II possible, to look at that sub
ject from the same point OF view.
Cain and Able, sons OF II first
parents, differed. Cain5was a tiller OF
the soil, a farmer, apd Able was a
keeper OF the flock. a herdsman They
both offered sacrifices to God and
Able's sacrifice was more acceptable
to God than Gains, consequently
Cain got mad and slew Able. Ever
since that time men have been in con-
troyersy one with another, which
many times resulted in war and the
shedding OF blood.
The writer a conceive OF but one
view for the Christian to take 10 re-
gard to Sunday base ball playing and
that is in opposition to 1t, In con.
demnation OF 1t.
To be a Christian is TO be Christlike
In spirit, in disposition, in fact, Christ
like In every faculty Of the soul.
To be Christlike includes humility,
submission TO the will of the Father
and a disposition, a desire, yea a love
to obey His commands.
The question that arises with every
thoughtful and intelligent Christian
is Lord, what wilt thou have me t
i do? What is Thy will? What is Thl
command to me in regard TO Sunday
base ball playing.
The answer comes from Sinai II
i laundering tones. Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy, six day
shalt thou labor Tor play and do al
j thy work for play but the seventh il
the Sabbath day OF the Lord thy God
in it thou shalt not doahy work tol
j play tROsuc Thy son, Dor thy daugh
nor thy m%anservant, o tn
E m~aidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thl
d stranger that is within thy gates"
Then we have Christ's example, Wit
a on the Sabbath was always found a
S the place Of worship and never on tn
e playground.
1t seems to the writer that God
o plain commands and Christ's exampl
ought to satisfy every intelligen
h Christian and lead them into the pat
OF duty. JAMES A. GALLAiiER

Troy Shuts Out Locals and Trims
Them by a Score Of Nine to
Nothing.

Part of the local team, the Athlet-

team recently defeated here. They
returned home Saturday, being shut
out, their opponents having nine runs.
Because Of illness and having posi-
lions that could not be vacated on
week days, only four Of the regulars
we're present. Several Wellsyllle and
other players were pressed into ser
vice, and this organization met Troy.
We feel confident that had "our
Priden been made up as when WI met
the Trojans before, the score would
have been in our favor.
Saturday morning the "Cub" re-
ceived a postal card from Troy with a
map OF Missouri and Troy marked on
it. Below 1t stated: Troy is the only

AN ANSWER TO Z. Z. T.
Pastors of Mexico Request Promoters
of Sunday Base Ball to Stop
Sabbath Games.

Feeling that the piece written by
the one who signs himself e. f. t. In
behalf OF Sunday base ball should not
90 unnoticed. We have thought a
word should be uttered In protest Of
bis position.
First. The working mar for whom
he claims tOspeak has no such friend
anywhere as the church. Charged as
she is with preaching the truth by
which alone true freedom comes, and
guided In her position against Sabbath
dissertation by the plain command OF
the Bible, Remember the Sabbath
day to keep IL holy" she is guarding
the rights and true interests OF all
classes when she stands in opposition
to that which robs people OF the quiet
peace and rest Of the Sabbath. When
the people In any walk OF life cut
away from the Bible or the church
they cut from under them the funda'
mental supports Of peace and good
government.
Second. Where one working man
who calls himself a Christian, is in
favor OF Sunday base ball; ten working
men who not only claim to be Chris.
tians, but prove by attendance them
selves at church and Sunday school
that they are working Christians, can
be found who are opposed to this and
other forms Of Sabbath dissertation.
Third. We therefore, as the friends
OF all in every class, would earnestly
ask the promoters of Sunday base bal
to cease and call upon the Christian
people 10 abstain from participation
in that which can in the end be only
harmful in its effects.
