The BASE Ball Series

Definite arrangements have been
made for series Of three games to
be played between the Albuquerque
Browns and the Las Vegas Blues at
Galssnas park next Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday. The games will be
played in the afternoons. Several OF
the members of the Albuquerque team
could not get away for three week
days. consequently there will be no
game the last day of the race meet.
A decision was reached in favor OF
the afternoon games for several rea.
sons. Even at the best regulated
horse races, there must be some walt
ing between events. and while the
horses are being tried out. It Is not
proposed to interfere in the least with
the races, and playing will be stopped
altogether as soon as the horses come
out, but a large majority OF the crowd
will be glad to have baseball going on
in the interims.
The business men Of the town said
that while they could probably close
up for two afternoons, they could not
support baseball in the morning ant
races in the afternoon. They believed
that the division Of sport would inter
fere considerably with the crowds.
The present arrangement will prob
ably suit everybody best. Undoubt
edly it is a good idea to have the base
bal in connection with the races.

from God and holiness. All particu-
lar sins spring out of this inclination,
and are mere symptoms Of disease,
not the deep.lying, malignant disease
itself. For this reason 1t Is clearly
seen that the >oul's condemnation
lies deeper than the superficial OF
action,-it lies in the sinful state OF
the impenitent heart; and SO, unless
the malady itself be cured. the soul
is necessarily lost, even II no outward
sins are apparent. Without holiness,

To do nothing at all is therefore
enough to leave the soul in death. The
merchant may not follow any falla-
cious principle in conducting his busl-
ness, but If he merely neglects to give
it the necessary attention, he will go
into bankruptcy. The train dispatcher
does not need to give conflicting or
ders or have any criminal intent: but
if he merely leave his division to run
itself. there vii. be endless disaster,
involving his own sure ruin. So in the
spiritual life, the same universal truth
holds Neglect the way OF life which
God has appointed, merely neglect it
and eternal ruin is sure. Neglect the
child's mental life, give it no chance
for the mind to grow by contact with
