SUNDAY SERMON.

This is a wor derful world IN which
to live. For six thousand years its
inhabitants have been ransackiDg it
from cellar to roof and every gen
Grafton has discovered some new
adaptation of it and stood amazed
at its vastness, its variety and its
perfect equipment for the home of
man. Look at it's carpets green
grass interviewer with figures of
flowers. Behold it's ceiling frescoed
with clOudtints and luminous with
consultations Of stars. It's fOunda-
tiOns the everlasting rocks. It's
draperies the rainbow cOlOrs OF the
autumn foliage or the bursting buds
and apple blossoms and green leaves
of the spring. It's front dOOr-the
flaming sunrise through which the
day comes in. It's back door the
gorgeous sunset through which the
day goes out. It's chandelier and
candalabra-the sun by day and the
moon and stars by night. It's
chimneys-VesuyiuS and StrOmbOli
with its multltudinOus lesser safety
valves all around the planet Its
-four bins--the wheatfields of Europe
and Asia and America. It's safety
deposit vaults crammed with yellow
metal only waiting FOR business to
fit it's key to the locked up treasure.
It's coal bins stuffed with fuel to
warm the world. It's atmosphere
vocal with the music of birds. its
hills populous with sheep and
cattle. It's valleys covered over
with corn. The cotton plantations
cIothe the nations while in all the
earth the hum of busy factories IS
heard turning out rich attire for
those who prefer linen or wooden
or silken or leathern or furs. The
air is just adapted to our breath,
the water is just adapted to our
taste, sound is just adapted to our
hearing. We cannot imagine a
better color for the sky than blue,
for the grass than green, for the
water than crystalline. He who
ISLANDERS this world only exposes his
ignorance-for those who know it
the best and are most familiar with
its magnificent proportions and
properties unite in declaring that as
a residence for the human race it
could not be improved upon. The
fact that people grumble about the
weather is no evidence that it isn't
all right. 1t is difficult to imagine
some people perfectly satisfied with
paradise itself. They would be
uneasy unless they could find some
thing that needed fixing.

responsible for its architectural
beauty? Who reared the pillars
Of the universe and sent this plane
tary ball spinning down the grooves
OF time with such a we'll ballasted
machinery that it has never jumped
the track? There is only one answer.
There are theories enough. Plenty
of big men and little men have
taken pad and pencil and figured
out speculation more or less
plausible and acceptable to those
who deny the supernatural. They
talk learnedly about star and dust
and centripetal motion and germs
and hypothesis and when they have
enveloped us IN an Egyptian dark
ness Of guesses they declare that the
mystery is inscrutable. Very well,
leave them there to founder In the
fOgmask of mater1alism and turn
to the first verse of the first chapter
of Genesis and read the answer:
In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth" II will be
just as well to let that stand until
some better explanation IS offered.
We would not be in hurry to OK
purgate the first ten words of the
bible.
Napoleon Bonaparte pacing the
deck of a ship overheard some Of his
skeptical officers scouting the idea
of God and suddenly pausine 10
his walk pointed to the nlidAlght
heavens all asparkle with light and
said: ''Gen tlemen who made ali
that?"-and in the presence of such
a spectacle they were dumb. The
bible is the only book in the world
that has the glorious audaeity to
answer Napoleon's question and it
has never been disproved. In the
beginning God created the heavens
and the earth"
A fire mist and planet
A crystal and cell
a Jelly 6sh and a Saurlan
And caves where cave men dwell
Then sense Of law and beauty
And a face turned from the clOd-
Some call it evolution
And others cali II God
A haze in the far horizon
The infinite tender Sky
The ripe rich tint of the cOrntieldS
And the wild geese sailing high.
And all over uDiandS and loWlandS
The charm OF the golden rod
Some Of Us call il autumn
AndothGFs Call it God,
Like tides on a crescent sea beach
When the moon Is new and thin
Into our hearts high yearnins
Comes yelling and suFging in
Comes from the mystic ocean
Whose PIN no foot has trod-
Some of us call il longing
And others call it GOD.
A picket frozen on duty
a mother starved for her brood
Socrates drinking the hemlOck
And Jesus on the rood
And millions that humble and nameieSS
The straight hard pathway trod-
Some call it conservation
And others call it GOD.

Wednesday was the reunion of the
only two survivors of the legislature

Madison and talked over tie. old
times and former legislative meas

The two aged ex-legislators en-

their meeting attracted more than
passing attention.

BASE BALL NOTES.

 Back to the old stamping ground will 20 the City league teims to- morrow. No more Rockville for them.
 Talk about swinging hammers, they flew right merrily yesterday and last night and John Flanagan was not in 1t for a minute. Umpire Murray is lemon as an umpire. He is way of on balls and strikes and does not run the game as Kennedy or Rorty would. He may be a slugger and he looks 1t, but an umpire, never.
 City league games tomorrow will be played on the Riverside grounds on South Main street, on the old ball field.
 Tag you're it." said Umpire Mur- ray twice yesterday and two Of the Hartfords will lose flyers. Rube vickers added to his fame Thursday by pitching and winning a double-header for Williamsport. Lam caster was the opposing team and landed but i've hits in the first game and seven in the second, which went eleven innings.
 Jake Volz stands good chance of joining the Connecticut leagues group of famous travellers. Jake has now had a turn with Holyoke, Bridgeport and Hartford. Manager o'Neil of Springfield has secured Eddie Fitzgerald, a catcher belonging to Connie Mack. Newark had a hold on Fitzgerald at the be- ginning of the season and Hartford tried to buy him, but failed. F1tz- gerald Is rated as good man.
 Baseball players in this league who think they can give Umpire Murray what Tommy Burns gave to the lemon from Australia should hear Harry Durant of Waterbury tell how he saw Murray trim four men as big as himself down in Pawtucket. They rushed the fighting ump together but he put each one away.
 William Hayward. recently depos- ed as captain of the New Haven team has no limit to his aspirations. He started in to whip a baseball reporter at the game in New Haven cn the holiday. Fans in the grandstand who did not want the team to be crippled saved Hayward. The latter was able to play yesterday, but he made two errors
 Captain Nichols was reported ill yesterday and therefore did not play. Another report has 1t that he has been sold to an Eastern league team for s250 per.
 The schedule of games for the City league tomorrow will be as fol- lows: Brooklyns vs Merrimacs. s; Josephs ys North Ends. Washington Hills vs Pastimes All the games will be played down on the Riverside grounds. Get out and give the boys a boost. who have been driven from hone.
