 Hence the result-that some of the least sympathetic, least forgiving. least tender and least merciful people who walk this earth are known to be religious, and are said to be Christians Their religion. un- tested by the test of excellence, instead of humanizing, has to degre dehuman- ized them. The poor suffering sinners of the world who haven't been able to hide their sins, or buy forgiveness for them. the beaten, fallen, bedraggled lives of any community-beaten, fallen. bedraggled, but still human. still and forever. the broth CTS and sisters of us all-how little sym pathy they may hope to inspire, how little pity awaken, in many bosoms that swell with proud consciousness of their religious zeal and loyalty. The Christ should have taught us all that the great est heart Is the heart greatest with pity: the divinest soul, the soul divinest with hope. for the worlds wanderers, this worlds sinners, this worlds rebels to God and man-because they are wander CTS, sinners rebels.
 But the Chrst-divine teachers of what is most divine-is not the teacher of all Christian religion, and the fact that He is not has been for centuries and Is to- day the worlds one unspeakable tragedy.
 And He will never be the teacher or 1t all. until Christian men and women learn from Him this supreme excellence or faith, freedom, love, courage-to believe In truth as He did. letting 1t lead them wither it wll-to happiness or unhappi- ness, to peace or war. to triumph or failure. to life or death, until there IS born within them who bear the cross that spirit of heroism which shows itseif heroic by conquering what most It iears' and embracing what most 1t shrlnks from-the spirit that dares, in the lace of all outward menace and inward mis- giving. to approve whatever Is excellent in Gods erse-heart-excellent, mind- excellent oul-excellent-because 1t IS ex- cellent-and God must approve 1t, too' and to cast out from the temple of heart. mind soul. whatever can not meet the eternal test, the test that is Gods own in distinguishing between what Is heaven a nd what is hell!

ANCIENT PEMAQUD, SECOND ENGLISH SETTLEMENT IN AMERICA IS RECALLED. IT IS LOCATED IN STATEOF MAINE.

 The Jamestown of Nv England is on the coast of Maine anI Is better known as Ancient Pemaquid. It was settled by colonists from Englanl in August, 1897. four months later tha the founding of the famous Virginia dlony.
 Ancient Pemaquid, how within the town of Bristol, was tsited by Barthol- omew Gosnold in 1902 Iy Martin Firing in 1903, by George Waymhth in l6oo and by Capt George Popham with colonizjng party of 100 persons, icluding a chaplain and surgeon, in l60it the year in which Wingfield and christopher Newport landed on the penlnlllar on the James river in Virginia, tlrty-two miles from it's mouth.

MONTGOMERY IS GIVEN
 FRIENDLY SUSPENSION

Memphis. June 17.-(Special)- )-Third Baseman Montgomery of the Birmingham team is suspended. At least this Is the announcement made by Manager Vaughn and reported by President Kavanaugh of the Southern league, although popular opinion is that Montgomery has been dealt with in a friendly manner in order that his official connection with the club as a fifteenth player may not appear on the books in violation of the salary and player clause.
 After receiving report that Alcock would join the Barons late last night Manager Vaughn was today informed that the utility player had missed train connection and would report at New Or leans. His presence was not missed today as Garvin took care of everything in reach at third.
 During the series here several Bir-

Memphis, June T-(Speclal.)-Eight bunts were aimed at Lee Garvin, Bir- mingham's catcher who Is taking care of Montgomery's position at third. and at Manager Vaughn at first, the Memphii again pursuing tactics which they figured would bring runs for the home cause But again plans went astray and with perfect support accorded Rip Reagan the Barons simply smothered Babb's brigade under a 6 to o score.
 Not a Memphian reached third base, where a local publication had taken the enterprise to station a staff photographer in the hope of catching a snap shot or the winning run rounding for home. Sym pathizers of the Barons, who seemed numerously sprinl<led in all parts of the grounds. were immensely amused during the latter part of the contest when Man ager Babb ordered the photographer to the side lines, and act which was greeted with applause by the supersticiously in- clned fanatics on the bleachers.
 Another Kind of Hoodoo.
 
 hoodoos prevented the locals from scoring. Reagan was master in every inning. But two real live, simon pure hits fell off him and no two happened in a single inning. Nichols nailed a funny looking two-bag- ger which eluded Oyler in the sixth, and it had so much reverse English on it that Nichols reached second This, and an attempt to steal third by Nadeau in the second round, happened to be the nearest chance the photographer was af- forded to use his machine.
 Harry Matthews figured the power behind three Baron counts. Carlos Smith. who has hit at a 600 clip during the present series, started the second inning with a single Gear sacrificed and Walt CTS was hit Oyler was dead-headed, and Matthews sent Smith and Walters home with a single to center. Vaughn tried to bunt to squeeze Oyler home and Babb muffed the fly, permitting Oyler to tally. It was Matthew's single in the second inning that sent Walters home The Barons continued to steal, bunt and take advantage of Suggs' wildness in the fol- lowing rounds, and Oyler and Smith ad- ded runs. Gear made a long triple in the ninth. and in the eighth he cut Nichols out of a similar drive by taking a desperate chance and capturing a line drive to his left. The ball landed in his glove but he clapped both hands on 1t be- fore it could bound out. The score:
