REV. TukE TALKS TO YOUNG
MEN At v. Nj. c. A. BUILDING.

Rev. G. E. luke delivered an inter
esting address on christianity and
Athletics" to a large number OF young
men Of the city, at the Y, NJ G. a,
building last Sunday afternoon.
Rev. luke stated in his talk that
Christianity and athletics were com;
patible and cited q number Of ex.
amples in proof Of his assertion. First
he stated that they we're compatible
because Christianity was the basis OF
the whole life. "a.
Then he cited as examples bible
characters. David was a hunter and
lover Of sports he said as were many
of the other men mentioned in the
bible.
Gladstone was also a lover OF sports
and a man of Christian character
President Roosevelt and Bishop In.
gram took part in athletic events and
sports of all kinds as was evidenced
by the tennis games played BY these
two great men.
Other Examples.
Tad Jones, full back and captain, Of
the Yale football team was exampled
as a man Of Christian character and q
famous athletic. The captain Of both
the Chicago university and University
Of. Minnesota football teams attended
church school both receiving their pre-
paratory education at Stattuck Mill
tary academy.
He said love OF sport was inherent
in the Anglo-Saxon race and gave as
instances the crowds attending base
bah and football games and the sport
ing pages which are run by all big
newspapers.
Athletics develop man physically
thereby helping him to gain self con
troll and fearlessness which are es
sentials in leading Christian lives, he
said. and dwelt on team work in Chris
tianity and in athletics.
In conclusion he showed how close
ly allied athletics and Christianit,
were and stated that the spirit O.
christianity should enter into athleticl
and the spirit OF athletics should b
instilled into Christianity.
