dressed large audience at Epworth
M. 10. church, Sunday evening. Rev
Mr.. Coil took as his theme, "The
Wonderful Christ" and took his text
from Isaiah 90, IAnd His Name
shall be called wonderful"
Said the speaker, ITO the ancient
Hebrew a name was of very great
significance. II comemmorated some
great event. It portrayed some trait
OF character or in the name was some
moral reason for rejoicing. Jacob,
before he had struggled with the an
gel on the mountain and seen the
heavenly vision was known by this
simple name, but after the experience
he was known to his people as Israel
for he should lead his people,. @9H
Jesus was represented by many
names. each being symbolic OF as
many traits OF character. He was
called the light OF the world, the
great illumination, the bread of life,
the great captain, who ne,er lost a
battle, the good shepherd, who pro-
tects his sheep from the wolves OF
evil. Christ was wonderful as be-
ing the great advocate, pleading as
lawyer before the judgment bar
for His people, and for His saving
power.
Christ was also wonderful because
OF the prophecy of His coming and
more wonderful because He was rec
ognized at His coming, The history

LDAGUE RESULTS.
Ashland G, Marion 2.
Mansfield 4, Lancaster /.

Manager Bobby Quinn of the Ma
rion Runts and Manager Fuhr of the
Coshocton Bull Dogs closed deal
Saturday, whereby Ed Sipe, the clever
half back of the local polo team goes
to Coshocton and in return Marion
gets Perry the half back OF the Gosh
octon team.
Perry arrived in Marion last night
while this morning Sipe left to join
the Coshocton team. Marion fans
hate to see Eddie Sipe leave for he
has proven himself to be the best
half back in Ohio State league and
IL Is doubtful II the local team has
been strengthened by the change.
Perry comes here with the reputation
of being fast, strong heady player.
OF the trade the Coshocton Times
says:
"It is doubtful IL the Marion fans
realize what they have received in
Perry. He has the brightest future
before him of any young player that
has appeared on the local floor this
season. All of the Coshocton fapr
will be sorry to see him leave
'The youngster has won a place IN
their hearts by his gamey playing
and his leaving is not anticipated
with pleasure. Perry has been on
the local team longer than any 9TH
er man and by his consistent playing
has made good. Manager Fuhr says
tho hac ham ha-

under stress Of circumstances.
"Sipe, who Is to take Perry's place
a. half back was formerly of the Ash
,an0 team where he became dissatis-
flea 'nI asked to go to Marion to
see if he liked the place better. He
had been ther only short time
when he disclosed the fact that
through it all he wanted to play with
the Bull Dogs and was not satisfied
with Marion. Perry suited the locals
all right, but Mansfield was looking
after Sipe and it would never do to
let them become stronger so Manager
Fuhr held confab with Perry who
finally decided to take Marion's offer
and be traded for Sipe.
"Sipe is a great player and has Of
ten been spoken of in the press as the
man who either held down the score
against his team or was greatly re-
sponsible for the winning Of the game.
The two teams will make about an
even break on the deal and satisfac-
ton will be restored to Marion.

There has not been a team here
this season which plays as clean a
game as the Lancaster aggregation
lThis does not mean that they could
not play a rougher game II they de-
sired. but that they resort to no
tricky and fair methods in making
their plays. "Pinkey" Turner, the
star second rusher of the Lanks. is
Ia fast man on the rollers, but al
ways plays a clean game. "Spot"
Hadley, the big star center, Is anoth-
Ter player, who deserves a great deal
lof credit for playing such clean
game. The big fellow has plenty
or opportunity to mix 1t up and make
ia much smaller player look cheap,
but he uses clean tactics all the way
through and is never inclined to be-
come angry and show his temper
'Ostling is also a clean player and al
though he plays the position where
there is more excuse for roughness,
he plays cleanly. With such team
to work against, It Is a pleasure to
watch a game and it is to be hoped
THAT some of the other players and
magnates OF the league take note of
the fact and act accordingly in the
future. Mansfield News.

The first words which he speals to
Johns two disciples that follow HIM
are his question to us all, WHAT

clear to ourselves what Is our aim
and true quest in life. He would
have us search our hearts to ascer-
tain what we desire from him. and
what we think that he can do for
us. without knowledge OF our
motives and conception OF him and
his work, we cannot receive the real
blessings intended for us. This ques-
ton is yelled promise that the
measure OF our desires will be the
measure of his gifts. Jesus asks
them whatg not Whom They an

means, We seek thee, and to be

which was an heritage from the
church of the Herbews.

eighth day every male child of the
