DDS, has not made itself more ridicu-
lous than any comment Of ours could
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inf1icted loss Of prestige by de-
monstrating thru suits for damages,
that it can be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of its defamation,
or does 1t hope for starting a campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, reproach and resentment
which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. It
can not postpone the public judgment
against it. That great jury, the Pub
lie, will hardly blame us for not wait
ing until we get petit jury in a court
room, before denouncing this prod
iga1 detractor of institutions founded
and fostered either by individuals or
by the public, itself.

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor OF
a well-knoWn Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
ligious Press Of the Country and 9th
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
'The religious Press owes you
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing Up Golfers Weekly as the
''Ye1l-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the Boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans
successor?"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
Hers has finally run against a solid
hickory post" and been damaged in
it's own estimation to the tune Of
S750,000.00."
"Here is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard Of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
go uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts its rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back a dose of it's own medicine"
at is a mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
spanked baby and wants $750,000.00
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."
THANK Heaven 1t has at last struck
man with back bone" enough to call
q spade a spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in our Office and is only one Of
mass of letters and other data, news
paper comments, etc., denouncing the
yellow" methods of Golfers. This
volume is so large that a man could
not well go thru it under half days
steady work. The letters come from
various parts of America.
Usually a private controversy is not
interesting to the public, but this Is a
public controversy.
Golfers has been using the fyellow"
methods to attract Attention to itself,
but, jumping In the air, cracking heels
together and yelling Look ut me"
wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a
''Holier Than Thou" attack on the Re-
ngious Press and on medicine.

did when we first resented Golfers

When American women took up
golf they did 1t as pose; in short
time it became purpose; it Is now
merely pastime.
All this ALTERATION may seem
meaningless, but those who remember
the various stages through which golf
in this country has passed cannot fail
to recognize the truth Of it. The
pose period was when golf began.
Then it was a new fad-the thing to
talk about, the thing to do. Women
and likewise men-Wore red coats:
they focked to the golf links as they
would to afternoon teas, and the pro-
fessiona1s we're busy from early till
late teaching women, regardless of
weight, age or previous condition Of
servitude, to drive gutta-percha balls
off little piles of sand. Every woman
must take up golf, and take it up she
did with vengeance.
Out of the pose period grew the
purpose epoch, when home, husband,
children and even best young men
were forgotten in the daily chase of
that same gutta-percha ball. We
dreamed Of golf scores by night and
we struggled to lower them by day.
Our intimate friends became our
hated rivals and our sole object in life
was to lower record or Gift" a cup.
One can hardly think of those days
without restraining a smile. A wom-
ans popularity was gagged by her
success on the green, and be she new
er so beautiful Or attractive, she was
forced to give the palm to the local
champion. AS for the woman who
had attained national honors. she was
the envied of everything in petit
coats, and consequently the detested.
During that purpose period Of golf the
woman who had not reached the first
flight still cherished hopes, and the
only object in life for the average
woman of that day was to bring in a
lower score, by fair means if possible,
or-dare I say it?-sometimes by foul
The game has now reached what I
call the pastime period. We are con-
tent to take it as an amusement, and

and they play to win. If they are
beaten they don't scratch their op-
ponents' eyes out, but they go to
work to try to ''do her up" in the next
| match. For number of years there
were but two classes in American
women's golf: Miss Beatrix Hoyt,
and the others. No one else, except
Mrs. Butler Duncan, who did not en-.
ter tournaments, had the slightest
chance of winning the championship,
| and 1t was only a question OF who
| would be the runner-up.
For three years Miss Hoyt reigned

was the time when golf was a pur.

The eastern women outclass those
of the west, because athletics have
firmer hold in the east. Eastern Wom-
en- are accustomed to riding, shooting,
sailing and tennis. They play games
from their earliest childhood, SO that
their muscles are more thoroughly
trained, and they are accustomed to
competitions. Golf was merely one
more game to be learned, and they
went about it in the systematic way
which comes alone from experience.
Golf is the first sport in which west
ern women have INDUCED to any ex-
tent, and consequently they have not

the ones who have learned the
game since golf became universal

SERMON

Sinful indulgence in an Idle
hour made David a murderer.
Little did he think on that first
night Of pleasure to what awful
depths his sin was to lead him.
But the pathway of sin leads
downward and ever farther and
farther away from God. One
wrong step is taken in the de-
sire to crafty some unhoIy long,
ing and then a dozen more
steps are found necessary in the
attempt TO cover up the traces
OF the sinful conduct.
The prosressiVeness of sin is
one OF it's most striking char
acteristics. Mo one starts out
with the purpose, or even ex-
pectation, of becoming a MUIR
derer. The boy with his first
glass, or his first night out
in questionable companionship,
does not stop to think what the
futl fruition of his first mis-
step may be. The man who
takes his first Aing at specuIa-
ton does not see himself an en-
bezzler behind the bars, dis
grace and suffering brought
upon his innocent wife and chill
dren. He begins with the ex-
peetation of winning and &C
curing riches quickly. Perhaps
he does win and is tempted to
60 in more heavily. He loses,
and then borrows that he may
speculate further to retrieve his
Losses. Again he loses. lie
must have money to pay the
loan. He betrays. his trust and
takes the money he needs from
his employer, or from funds en-
trusted to his care, expecting to
pay Il. back as soon as his luck
turns, as he says. And so it
goes on, step at a time, until
at last he Is ruined beyond the
hope of recovery. And SO 1t is
with any ainfuI course upon
which one may enter. ~
lf IL takes 20 lies to cover up
the first lie told, SO is 1t with
other forms Of sin, il takes in
Vulnerable wrongs to cover up
and hide the first wrong done.
But what folly for the soul 20
think that it can cover and hide
It's sin. "Be sure your sin will
find you out" is the solemn
warning OF Scripture.
And again Gods Word de-
cEaFes that "iie that coVerets his
sins shall not prosper"
What utter folly then for the
human heart to go bIindIy on in
sin. thinking that It can deceive
God andeman. Some day ali the
sinful conduct will be revealed
in all its awfuIness.
The power TO resist sin is
J weakened the farther one goes
on In his sinful course. In
Proverbs s:22 the sins are
likened unto cords that bind
one.
There comes TO mind the
story OF GuIliver In the land of
the LiiIiputs. The tiny crea-
lures bound The great giant
with their fraiI, fiImy threads,
which he might have blown
away with a breath, but which
In the aggregate formed strong
cord which covered him like q
web and rendered him power
less to resist the attacks of his
little enemies. So is 1t with sin.
Let Us remember, also, that
however much we may deceive
the world, we cannot deceive
God. "My sins are not hid from
thee" exciaims the psalnfst.
Neither more are yours and
mine.

With the development of the game
from fad to sport the quality Of
American woman's golf has improved
UNNECESSARILY, particularly in the
long game. One hundred yards used
to be long drive for woman, and
one of that length would bring forth
applause from admiring onlookers,
but to-day a woman who cannot clear
a 130-yard bunker would not even fig
ure among the "also rams" in the pub
lished accounts of a match. Putting
is the part Of the game women learn
most readily, and the part in which
they excel. Women putt as we'll as
or better than men, but they never
drive as well because they are handi-
capped by the element of strength.
In the development of the game there
has been little improvement in the
putting department since the early
days. All who had any eye whatever
quickly learned to go down In two
when on the green, but in reaching
the green the women of today have
advanced wonderfully over those OF q
few years ago.

The Hills of Home.

The hills of home have called to me
Through days of stress and pain,
Come back. come back, come back to
US,
And learn our lore again;
Come back to US that we may ease
The burden of your soul,
Come back to your forgotten dreams,
And let US make you whole"
Deep in the laundering city's heart
l hear the hills low cry,
The sad entreaty of their call
That pleads for my reply:
And here where tides of traffic surge
On life's tumultuous stream,
l hunger for the hills of home
And for the old, old dream.
The voices Of their sylvan wales
Call to me day and night,
And many an hour my heart has went
For the old, lost delight
The dreams knew, the faith 1 knew
Long ere learned to roam,
Far from the quiet, steadfast peace.
Far from the hills Of home
