we are told by Lord Macaulay that the founder in
England of the inductive school of philosophy
Lord Bacon, rejected the theory of Calico with
scorn; and so did Descartes.
No wonder, then, that when Calico went 10
Rome for the first time to defend himself from his
assallants, though gardens and palaces were thrown

him every mark of respect though commission
of the ablest astronomers in Rome appointed by
Cardinal Bellarmine declared that the discoveries
made by Calico were undeniabe, yet they did not
regard his proofs demonstrative of the truth Of
the Copernican system. Thus, after obtaining the
blessing of Paul v and bidding farewell to troops
of friends, the philosopher returned to Florence

DRY was admitted. A denunciation was drawn up
against him; he formally accused of interpret

teachings of the Fathers. This denunciation was
quashed in %he very first stage of the proceedings
in hopes that Calico would desist from his impru-
dent attempts. But, on the contrary, he became
more and more persistent. Letter after letter came

though paganism fourished side by side with it.
and if we continue investigation and follow the
Christian religion from its fountain head Christ
and trace it down for twenty centuries, we find but
one church staring us in the face. That is the
Catholic church. She is the church of history She
alone is linked with the apostles. Therefore she
and she alone received her commission direct from
Christ
In the synagogue which succeeded the Patriar-
chal religion, were to be found true pastors so alsn
were false prophets and hirelings who had fallen
away from the true worship of God After break
ing away from the unity of the true faith and dis
carding the teachers commissioned by God to steer
and direct them they fell into polytheism and p
thousand other isms condemned by God. The Old
Testament is true and faithful record of the va
riety and contrarety of the errors those had fallen
into after their separation from synagogue. From
it we learn that in the midst of the tortuous course
of error which assumed all shapes from the poly
theism of the polished Greeks and Romans down tr
the rude fetichism of the barbarous Africans, that
the Jewish worship through the patriarchs and
prophets called by God himself may be traced IN
defled from its source down to the opening of the
first century of the Christian era, when Christ be-
came the connecting link between it and Christian
ity During that long space of time, those who
without authority or commission from God set
themselves up as teachers are condemned for their
pride and arrogance. You eat the milk" said the
Prophet Ezechlel, land you clothed yourselves with
wool, you killed that which was fat but my flock
you did not feed"
From Christ and his apostles, if we continue to
explore the regions of religious faith, have not
counterpart of what took place before? In every
age side by side with the true pastor the self
made and self-appointed pseudo-pastors or as
Christ expressed it, herlings. Like the river emp
tying its waters into the ocean, and which may be
traced back step by step to the fountain head hid
den away in the fastness of the mountains, SO too
the church founded by Christ may be trsced from
the present in an unbroken chain through the long
line of his pastors back to Christ. These pastors
not only succeed, but overlap each other, and his

THE TOUCH THAT SAVES.

He was little New York newsboy They found
him day lying on the street worn out and prob
ably dying. The physician who examined him at
the hospital said that his condition was due to hard
work and lack of proper food. The kind friend who
went behind the scenes and hunted up the facts in
the case found that this lad was true hero. His
father had been taken away, leaving the mother
and several brothers and sisters all younger thar
himself. What would become of them now? "IIl
take care of you all" he said with courage born
out of the love of pure heart, and out into the
street he went to keep his word by selling papers.
Surely his little life was not given in vain.
If we were only willing to make these sacrifices
of self for the sake of those about u.s. can we doubt
that we would win heavens richest blessings? God
take the poorest service we can offer and trans
form it into beauty.

Ny Mothers Garden

Her heart was like her garden.
Old fashioned, quaint and sweet.
wealth of buds and blossoms
Hid in a still retreat
Sweet violets of sympathy
Were always opening there,
And lilies white and pure Enclosed
Each one whispered prayer.
Forget-me-nots there fingered
To late perfection brought,
And there doomed purple pansies
In many tender thought.
There Hopes first snowdrops took deep root
And lowered because they must;
There Loves own roses reached toward heaven
On trellises of trust.
And in that quiet garden
The garden of her heart
Some birds built nests and caroled
Their songs of cheer apart.
And from it still floats back to us,
O'ercoming sin and strife
Sweet as the breath of roses blown,
The fragrance of her life.

WHAT is LIFE?

A smile, a shadow, on the sky,
Alternate come and go;
A stifed stiffness, then breeze.
Breathing of the mountain snow,
Come DER the valley, each in turn,
Till shades of night fall low.
Through sheets of light the streamlet flows
Then shadows dense and wide:
Anon in peaceful measure sings,
Then, ere the song has dies.
Walls loud Ger rocks, and at last
Lost in the seas dark tide
And so our span of life is passed
A smile, shade, a sigh,
Despairing Gains and times inspired
By holy thoughts and high
Der stony ways, through peaceful glens.
Till we meet eternity.
A little waking, little sleeping.
little laughter, a little weeping.
And then-a long, long silence.

LIFE QUESTIONS.

L wonder If we are watching
For a chance to help along
The weak ones who must falter
When the way is rough and long.
Do we clasp their hands and guide them
Through the thorny, rock-strewn way,
Leading ever on and upward,
Helping them whene'er we may?
Do we hear the Savior saying,
Suffer them to come to meg"
Have we felt the Fathers blessing
For true service, full and free?
Do we hear our Lords voice calling,
Loving, tender, strong and trueg
Do we answer "Here am I, Lord,
Lord, what wilt thou have me do?"
True, the Savior's greatest blessing
Comes to the little ones and weak;
And lest they be lost he sends us
To the rough highways to seek,
Bids us find them, bids us lead them,
Lest their tender feet shall stray,
Guard them from the lurking dangers
And the pitfalls in their way.
Is there not one child in danger
That your hand may lead Alright?
Just one life into whose darkness
You may bring a ray of Eght2
In the service of the Master
There is room for great and small
We can show his love unfailing
By the love we bear to all

Now the roads, hushed with dark,
Lead the homeward way,
[ will rest; [ will bark
What the weeds can say;
Wondering in the afterglow-
Heart's-ease of the day.
I have seen Joy take leave
In bitter guise;
Griefs have had a smile for me,
When l met their eyes.
Shall I know with what new gift
Life may make me wise?
Be it savors of the dusk
Soothe my care in me,
Or the trees, that bid me wait
What the hills foresee,
There the fields hide in peace
Harvest yet to be.
Oh, the wiser way of theml

God keep you, dearest, all this lonely night;
The winds are still,
The moon drops down behind the western hill
God keep you safely, dearest, till the light.
God keep you then when slumber melts away,
And care and strife
Take up new arms to fret our waking life,
God keep you through the battle of the day.
God keep you. Nay, beloved soul, how van
How poor is prayer!
I can but say again, and yet again,
Cod keep you every time and everywhere.

DOUBLEHEADERS'
 PUT UNDER FINE
NATIONAL LEAGUE OF BASEBALL CLUBS EETS-UMPIRES RE. PORT DISCIPLINE Goop-1oe oE. FENsEs LAST SEASON.

New York, December 10-Seyera1 i'm, portant reforms in baseball may res,lt from the meeting of the National I,eapue or Baseball clubs which convened here today. One of the proposed reforms is the abolition of the present system of so-called double header games freouent- ly planned to draw large crowds. Some of the league members have expressed themselves as opposed to games of tbjs kind on the ground that they are un- sportsmanlike. Aside from suggestions of this kind, for changes in the rules. ths only business to come before the meeting vii be the election of officers.
 President Pullam today read his re port on discipline exacted by umpires and made suggestions for changes in the present rules. The report showed that removals from games and F suspensions the smallest number in the last five years.
 He recommended that the sale of liquor in bottles and the sale of liquors in the grandstands be prohibited.
 President Pullam declared that artifi- cial doubleheader games and seven in- as they did not make for the good of the sport.
 He recommended an improvement in the visiting players club houses
 The meeting adjourned until tomorrow There was much discussion during the day of exchanges of players but no deals were made

WILHELM'S CLAIM
 TO FIRST HONORS
OFFICIAL RECORD SHOWS HE PITCHED, FIGURED IN AND WON MORE GAMES THAN ANY OTHER PITCHER.

If you obviate cold figures and base your judgment on cold reason, Wilhelm, as The Age-Herald has always contend ed outranked all other pitchers in the Southern league last season.
 eliminating Shields. Mckenzie and Schopp, who pitched too few games to en- title them to leadership consideration. there are four pitchers remaining-Castle- ton of Atlanta, Manuel of New Orleans, Keith of Little Rock and Wilhelm of Bir- mingham.
 Of 25 games, Castleton won r, an ex- ceptionally fine record. Of 31 games Manuel won 20. another fine record Of 22 games, Keith won IA, also a splendid showing. Wilhelm won 23 of S7 games
 Wilhelm in all, figured in AS games but he is credited with winning and los- ing B. Therefore, he pitched more games, and figured in more games than any other Southern league pitcher. Too it must be borne in mind that he won more games last season than any other Southern league pitcher. If you sift it down fur ther, and consider that Wilhelm was pitching with a second division team, while his competitors were working for first division teams, the palm must be awarded to Little Eva"
 In the matter of fielding, Wilhelms s competitors for first honors are Fisher of Shreveport Bills of Memphis and Suggs of Memphis. Wilhelm figured in AS games, Fisher in 2S, Bills 36 and Suggs 35. Wilhelm accepted more chances than any other pitcher of the league, and made more assists. He had 1SS chances and made four errors. Bills had 173 chances ard made three errors. Suggs had 12s chances and made two errors. Fisher made but one error in 67 chances.
 So, all in all, Wilhelm is the top -notcber of the Southern league. Had he been with Atlanta he would have walked away with all of the honors and never known that there had been a competition.

POIZaYd'S Team Meeting
 With Q Fine Recebfi0n

Concerning the All-Southern football team of the season of 1907, none has at tracted more favorable comment than that chosen by pr. J. w. H. Pollard, coach of the University of Alabama. and his assistant coach. Joe Pritchard, All Southern tackle of Vanderbilt in 19O6.
 Flaws are picked in every team chosen, naturally. but none. with the possible exception of Coach Hesman's of the Georgia Tech. has so successfully passed the guns of the critics.
 The PolIard-Pritchard team, as pub- llshed in The Age-Herald of last Sunday, follows:
 Ends-B. Blake (captain), Vanderbilt; Leach, University of Tennessee.
 Tackles-"Lex" Stone. Sewanee; Davis, Georgia Tech.
 Guards - Stein Stone. Vanderbilt; Sherrell, Vanderbilt.
 Center-Batson, Auburn.
 Quarterback-Hannon Alabanlas
 Halfbacks-C Vanderbilt; Laner, Sewanee.
 Fullback-Markley. Sewanee.
 Concerning this team, the Nashville Tennessean says:
 There are only three places oil this lineup where the sporting editor Of the Tennessean and Messrs. Pollard and Pritchard differed. They agree that Lex Stone of Sewanee and Davis of Tech. were the two best tackles; that Craig of Van- derbilt and Laner of Sewanee were the star halfbacks; that Markiey of the Tigers was the best fullbas;I, and that sheirel of the Commodores is one of 7hs all southern guards
 For the other, however, Messrs. Pritch- ard and Pollard have moved Stein Stone out of his place as al, southern guard. While this Is doubtless ccrrect- certainly we would not question Stein Stones supremacy at either position-most of the coaches and sporting writers usual
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-11

ly select the men according to the posi- tion they play althoGs1 tho method of the Alabama gentlemen is not unknown. For the other guard. then, this paper chose Faulkenberry of the Tigers and kept Stone at center on tne all-southern The Alabama men, after moving Stone to guard, place Batson O. Auburn at center. Outside of Stone It seems T stand-off between the other centers of the south. one looking aboat as good as the other. Bill Evans of Sewanee seems to be as good as any of them, barring Stein"
 We cannot agree that Leach Of Ten nessee should displace Lewis Of Sewa- nee at end The latter next to Bob Blake Is certainly the best end In Dixie, al- though Leach Is admittedly a goo1, strong player.
 At quarter our Alabama friends have chosen Hannon of Al1pama where we named Sammy Costen. We still hold to the opinion that Costen was the super. T of any southern quarter, notwithstanding his fumbling in the early part of the sea son. His form against Tech. and his play ing against Sewanee Thanksgiving until his injury forced him out of the game was unequaled by any quarter this side the classic border.
 With these exceptions our pick ta,lies with that of old friend Joe and his con- fierce.
 In this connection it is interesting to recall the selection of Coach Heisman of Tech. He followed the metho1 of Messrs. Pollard and Pritcnard and placed two tackles at the guard positions: Gas ton and McLaurine of Clemson and agreed that Davis and Lex Stone were the right men for tackles Instead of Harmon or Costen at quarter he placed Barrett of Sewanee He also gave Demon" Camp bell of Vanderbilt Lanier's place at half back and placed Lanier at full lie agreed, however, that next to Lanier Markley of Sewanee had the call.
 Otherwise Hesmans pick tallies with those above.
