Ascension. Still WInnina,

The Ascension Basket Ball team
won brilliant victory from the Lyn-
dales last Monday night at Ascension
gymnasium by score of SO to 10.
The game was really closer than
the score would indicate, but the AS.
tensions were clearly masters of the
situation at all it's stages. Team work
Of a degree not developed hitherto this
year by the Ascensions was the char
acteristic Of the game. The Lyndales
tried hard to cover their men, but
combined weight and stiffness Of their
opponents was too much for them.
Fred Chicken was back in old form
last night. This forward got eight
goals from the field and nearly all werc
hard, difficult shots also came to the
front, and aside from clever guarding,
broke away from his man for Ave
goals. O'Connell at center had the
better of the argument with Long, the
new Lyndale center. Kayser and Ga
haley were easily the most effective
men Of the Lyndale. but their basket
shooting was inaccurate and although
the ball hung around the net several
times, 1t never settled for a count. The
line-up:

NEW YORK Welded TO IDOLS. TOO.
DR.. Carson Compares 1t to Athens and Pleads
for Better Church Effort

The Rev. DR.. J. f. Carson, of Brooklyn preached
yesterday al the union services of six Harlem
churches in st. James Methodist Episcopal Church
His theme was THE Christian in New York City
with text drawn from ST Paul's visit to the city
Of Athens. Or Carson said.
II has become commonplace that the Church is
not making an impress upon New York City, and
has become because II is true. 1t is respected
by many, patronized by some and ignored by the
vast majority. while the practical failure of the
Church to win New York is deplored by all. Men
telling that the need of the day is new

But do not need new religion, for the reason
that have human nature TO deal with
The weak spot in the Church life and work OF
this city lies in the fact that Christian people
not alive to the conditions of men In the city, to
the needs of the city and to the opportunity OF the
Church in the city. Paul beheld the CITY, he saw
Athens while he vas In II. And what did he see?
He beheld the city full of idols.
You tell that there no idols or idol temples
in New York Are you quite of that? The
idol altar may not be in New York, but there may
be idolatTy where there is altar, and that
idolatry may be the same in spirit that IL was In
expression in Athens To-day men crown the in
telIect. They eliminate the supernatural.
Multitudes have regard to-day only for the
physical and materal-Worshp in the temple OF
Demeter. Athens had a temple to Zeus-the god
of force. That temple has more worshtppers IN
New York than It ever had In Athens. Power.

The meaning of all this is the same in New York
that it in Athens. All the energy. force

mission Of the Church is to direct and satisfy that
capacity.
