The Ground Hogs tore OFF another
one in the fifth. Price led of with
a two-base hit. 1t was indeed sad
the way those Piggies would lead of
with hits. The ball went away out
near left field fence. Montgomery
sacrificed Price to third and when
Ellam pushed the pill for small in
fielder Price was run down the third
base line and extirpated. Then came
a wild pitch by Wilson that allowed
ELAN to score. Calhoun SCARED the
ball near left field fence for two

was killed third to nrst.

Jacklitsch, the catcher Of the PhiIlies

Jack is one of the best throwing

JUsT \ sERMONETTH

The Recorder will venture the as.
sertion that there is not one man In
ten, who Is not a member OF any
church, Who can tell the difference
TO save his life OF the various creeds.
or the difference between the CHURCH
organizations. In Salmon there are
three or four church organizations,
OF different denominations, main
taining as many different ministers
and families.
Not one OF the three or four differ
ent ministers, but could command a
larger salary In almost any other avo-
cation. In attending these different
churches IL would he hard 10 distin.
Vuish any difference In the appeal
they make for righteousness. The
ministers themselves, or others who
have made a study OF the various
creeds, might be able To lind a slight
difference on some doctrlna points.
But Is 1t enough difference TO eter.
nally damn those who do not agree
with the religious plan outlined
or give ons member higher niche
In glory than the other?

salary, they will be engaged In other
more remuneratlve lines OF business
1t may not come In a generation, but
IL is bound 10 come.
To the thinker the time Is past
when men OF education will bubble
over the point as To how many souls
can be retained upon the poilt OF a
needle, or whether man
should get down upon his knees to
offer thanks To the Diety or whether
he makes his invocation standing
with face to either the east or west.
The point to be arrived at is that
there Is little difference between the
saving grace In religion. Each OF
them Is maintained and conducted
for the purpose OF encouraging men
TO be honest, temperate, kind aud
cheerful; and above all to do unto
others as you would have them do
unto you. To-day IT is not so much a
point OF the meaning OF different
Hebrew or Greek words as IL is right
