Sermon by Father Mcdonald, c. \
 '.Prevaient and Dangereus

"If thou will enter into life. says Christ, keep the commandments. :" Since the condition of gaining eternal life Is so splainly4 laid down by the great Master, nothing could be more profitable and practical than to pause and consider how we are fulfilling 1t.
 If we stray away from the Ten Commandments. we are not on the road to Heaven. If we violate any one of them the observance of the others will not save us. Gods law is most frequently violated by the want of a proper restraint of the tongue, of the appetftes and passions. With- out self-restraint no one can be great or noble, or Christian. Deny your self( says Christ, before you can fol- low Me. Curb the inordinate tend encies," must be the everyday motto of those who will live well. Keep thy tongue from evil" says the Scrip ture, from scandalizing, from lying. from .calumny and detraction, from cursinE and unchaste words, etc. In all things we must govern ourselves by the Spirit. The reason which God gave us to rule over the flesh. Hence He says. If you live according to the flesh you shall die; but If by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live."
 The sins, which most commonly overturn the order of creation. in re- gard to our nature, are drunkenness and impurity. by committing these man surrenders his reason to his sen- suaI appetites. If all human lives were sober and clean. this world would be almost a paradise. We would not see countless ruined and wrecked homes and characters by ev- cry pathway of life. When we find the heart hardened and the mind ob- scured to religion. the will demoral- ized, in nearly every case the cause will be found in impurity or intem- perance. Against those two crimes that have so generally fastened them- selves on humanity, cry out Broken honor, the social cancer, called di- vorce, pauperized, homeless and de- generate children, no society can stand unless constant warsfs waged against those hydra-headed enemies. Of those given to such sins. read the awful condemnation for yourselves, 1 Cor, VI. g and 10. A

 Selma, Dec, 6.
 Interest in baseball was revived in Slerna today by the announcement in today's Advertiser that the Chicago National League club would come to Selma to do their spring trainin&
 This caused base ball to be talked of very freely and everybody wants to see Selma have a club next summer and, to secure a franchise in the Cot ton States League. If this interest continues, 1t is very probable that Selma will have representative at the meeting of the Cotton States League in Gulfport next week.
 movement was started here a few weeks ago to form stock company to get franchise In that organization but the financial furry twas the cause of the idea being abandoned for few weeks. It is now very likely that this movement will now be started again and that something will result from 1t. An offer to build a new base ball park has been made and there Is but little doubt but the National game will prove a paying proposition.
 The Chicago National League Club, when 1t was under the management of Tom Loftus, trained in Selma the club at that time were greatly pleased with Selma and were to have come back the following spring Int received better offers from other places. The present manager of the Cubs, Frank Chance. was a member of the team when it trained here be- fore and several times since then, he has tried to bring the Cubs to Selma but has never succeeded in doing so.
 Selma was spoken of last spring as the place where the Cubs would do their spring practice and the Commer- ciaI and Industrial Association and the managers of the different hotels wrote letters to the president and manager of the club. The Commercial and In- dustrial Association addressed a let ter to the president of the club, Mr. Murphy, some days ago but as yet have not heard from him.
 The base ball lovers of the city were greatly pleased with the announcement In The Advertiser and hope that the club will come to this city. If the club comes the base ball grounds will be fixed up and an effort will be made to get the club to come to Selma every spring.
