NEW YORK, January est will not be

FOR THE MODEL HOME,
Preacher Tells Of Reciprocal Duties
Of Employer and Employee.

Rev. George w. King, pastor of Dunn.
barton Avenue nj. E. Church, delivered the
last of his series of sermons on THE Model
Home" at that church last evening. The
subject was ''The Model Masters and serv-
ants" and in the course of his remarks he
emphasized the fact that all men are equal
before the law. He said, in part:
THE great thing emphasized by tho
Apostle Paul, in model masters IS tba la
of equality between master and servant
1t is the same thing emphasized eyery
where in the New Testament All men ara
equal, masters and servants. before God.
and all serve common Master Christ
and there is no respect of persons with
Him.
Men are not equal in all respects: one
man has one talent. another two. another
five; SO men differ in position through in
heritance and enterprise: but in the more
fundamental relations before God ALI mon
are alike. Master and servant are brothers
and the employer is to treat his servant
as brother.
I'm this Pauline doctrine of model mas
tiers ana servants we have the solution I
believe: of all household troubles in the
line OF domestic service When masters
and mistresses recognize that those who
serve them in the horne are their brothers
and sisters In Christ, and when servants
serve their masters. as they should serve
Christ, then will domestic service be as it
should be, and not till then.
There Is reason to think that much OF
the domestic service OF the land, including
that of Washington. is quite inferior; some-
times very trying and perplexing. How
much of this condition Is due to the faults
of masters and mistresses / am not able
to say; no doubt It ~ due to their faults
in some instances; but IL Is obligatory, IL
seems to me, in other instances for sery-
ants to demonstrate that they can be Paul
inc or scriptural servants.
Further, In the Pauline doctrine OF model
masters and servants we have the only
solution of the labor troubles of our day,
Both labor and capital have still much to
learn as to the teaching and spirit of Chris
danity, and neither can be model or ideal
TIL this teaching and spirit are more per-
fectiy imbibed. When capitalists look upon
their employees as brothers and as COM
mon servants with themselves of COM
mon Master, to Whom both must give ac-
count. and when employees serve their mas
tiers as unto Christ. conscientiously, hon.
estly. lovingly. then, and not till then, will
the conditions Of the world of industry
the Christian ideal"

new Y0RKS WANT
PITCHER HILLEBRAND

NEW YORK, January 2S.-There seems
to be misunderstanding in some quarters
as to the exact status Of Doc Hillebrand,
the former Princeton pitcher. whose serv-
ices have caused a wrangle between yari-
Gus club owners in the two big major
leagues. It was stated the other day by q
National League man that by a shrewd
agreement Hillebrand had been traded BY
the Washington American League club to
the Pittsburg National League club in ex-
change for Outflelder Bob Ganley. 1t was
the fact that the Boston Nationals did not
waive claim to Ganley's services, while
the New York Americans also failed to re-
linquish their legal right to buy Hille-
further explained that the Washington and
Pittsburg clubs had worked a very smooth
game in releasing both Ganley and Hille-
brand outright, after which the new con-
tracts were signed In the regular way, the
Boston Nationals and the New York Amer
leans being virtually buncoed out of two
good men. But these assertions do not
conform with the facts. nor with the spirit
and letter of section 3. article W. of the
national agreement, which no club can yio-
late with impun!ty, reading as follows:
The right and title Of a major league
club to it's players shall be absolute and
can be only terminated by release or failure
to reserve under the terms of this agree
ment by the club to which the player has
been under contract. When q major league
club serves notice of release on one of its
players, he shall be ineligible to contract
with a club of another league IL during
ten days after the service of such notice Of
release club IN the league in which he has
been playing shall demand his services"
Under these circumstances It stands to
reason that IL the Washington and Pitts
burg clubs had released these men uncon-
ditionally the Boston and New York clubs
could have secured the men without the
payment Of dollar. whereas the waiver
system holds the value of each player at
81 900, a club. of course, being permitted to
at this price. AS matter Of fact, the
Washington club did have a deal on to
trade Hillebrand for Ganley and possibly
one other player. but the deal was called
off because Of the refusal Of the New York
Americans to waive claim to the former
Princeton player. All the National League
clubs. finally including Boston, waived
claim to Ganiey, whose release was pur-
chased by Washington for stated amount.
cans said yesterday that he had not with
drawn his claim upon Hillebrands services
and that the young man would either play
ball with Gri61th's team or could remain In
idleness He Will not be q member Of the
Pittsburs team" said Farrell, with much
emphasis. land Dreyfuss has not had the
nerve to sign him to a contract under the
circumstances. We put in q legitimate
claim for Hillebrand, and we also stand
get from any other major league club. We
do not believe In making BLUFFS, and when
we said we wanted this clever young ball
player we were In earnest. He will NAV
ball with the New York Americans or NOT
at all. That Is final"

Garner still leads the list Of winning

which caused his enforced retirement for
several weeks. His one poor exhibition in

the limelight of publicity Jockey Seder, who
beat him head in a driving finish.
Jockey Seder is Promising.
Seder gives promise Of being one Of the
best lightweight riders In the country next
summer. He is alert at the post, uses good
judgment during the running of race and
for youngster can ride strong finish.
There is just one good steeplechase jockey
here, and his name is Morrison. All the
other cross-country riders are far below
him In class. He is to them what Ray is
to the northern riders-many pounds the

races by sheer good Jockeyship. He rides
Edward Corrtgan's horses. but no one
seems to know whether he Is under contract

who has a good stable Of steeplechasers
might find it profitable to engage this young
man for the summer.

AN EASTER

The Globe wishes to acknowledge
the receipt of a copy of the Easter
Greeting or Easter Exercises that are
being sent out by the National Baptist
Publishing Board. These beautiful
Easter exercises excel anything that
we have seen, and this is shown both
in its artistic design and workman
ship and beautiful colors of blended
purple and green, and also the artis-
tic Easter lilies and other designs in
cleaning colors. The Responsive
Scripture Reading, Easter Songs, Reel
tations and Poems are in every way in
keeping with the best cultivated taste.
We think that every church and Sun
LAY school regardless of denomination
should see and examine copies of
these Exercises before purchasing
elsewhere. There is nothing in these
exercises of a UNCONVENTIONAL nature.
but it is indeed a cantata of the most
bright and sparkling gems of music.

A JAMAIcAN's VIEW.

The Swettenham-Davi tableauI
which was put on Immediately after
the Kingston earthquake, developed
into an international question. Much
speculation was INDUCED in as to
whether Admiral Davis was hasty, re-
pulsive and insulting in his offered aid
to the sufferers, or whether Gov. SWEET
tenham, of Jamaica, was too autocrat-
ic, arrogant and h~igh-spirited. The
papers and magazines of all nations
have INDUCED at length in reviews of
the incident and some opinions have
been rendered. None, however, have
appeared in the columns of local pa
pers as coming directly from Jamaica.
A Globe representative, who is per-
sonally acquainted with many people
in Jamaica, opened correspondence
with well-informed British subjects
in this island, seeking just the exact
attitude taken by the Jamaicans with
regard to Davis actions and Swetten-
hams resentment. He gives his views
in the following letter:
81 have followed the Swettenham-
Davis incident. Hard to give an I'M
biased opinion from newspaper re-
ports. Swettenham may have been
right; Davis, ditto. One thing is GER
tain, that in all foreign countries, as a
rule, Americans are recognized for
their wealth and l~iberality, but from
the standpoint of being polished gen
tlemen and ladies, they are still in the
backwoods of civilization. They cling
