 Yancey was the first to solve Keith IL was the first with two down that his double glided over third. Gygli following with a double, forced him home
 Another was added in the second. Lar sen opened with hit, and was sacrificed. Dickson hit to Collins, and the shortstop booted three times, the ball finally landing near the plate Larsen scored.
 In the fourth pair was added. With one down. Manuel singled and went to third on Kane's single. Dickson singled. scoring Manuel and sending Kane to third. Henlfne hit to Flood and while the bats man was going out, Kane scored.

 AN EASY WINNER

Ginger Clarke fol- lowed him to the mound, allowing but one hit during the remainder of the game. The Lookouts solved George Pierce in the fourth round, hitting him freely. Grif- fin followed him to the rubber and was hit almost at will. Castro took up the job in the eighth and pitched one in ming to the great amusement of the fans. He struck out two batsmen.

Death to be Overcome.

Death is an enemy. Christ Jesus
proved its unreallty, and overcame
1t in accordance with the law OF God,
thus indicating ultimate freedom
from death for all mankind. Is this
statement impossible Of acceptance!
It Is not an original one by any means
but simply reiteration Of what Paul
has said. Paul did not say that we
can go on overcoming all things un-
til It comes to deaCh, but that in its
presence we are helpless victims. He
said the last enemy to be destroyed
ID death, and in his letter to Timothy
he says chat Christ Jesus hath
abolished death, and hath brought
life ana immortality to lighks DO
we believe. Paul understood what be
was sayingi Do we believe these
statements to be true?
We, as Christian Scientists, accept
them without modification or quail
fication, because they are SO apso-
lutely in accord with what our Master
did and said. True, Christian Sci
entists have not yet reached the point
where they have overcome the uni
yersal belief in death, nor have they
vet reached the point where they heal
every case that is brought toathem,
but like the prodigal son Of the Bible
story, they have started on their
Journey back to their Fathers house.
They are weary Of living in coun-
try far away from God; they are
weary Of feeding on the husks Of
words which, no matter how beau
tiful they may be. fan to bring any
proof Of their truth. When the IN
failible principle Of Christian Science
is absolutely followed, we shall reach
the Fathers house, solve all life's
problems, and realize in full the
meaning Of the angelic chorus.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth, peace. good win toward men. n
