HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL

The high school team played at
Colfax Saturday against the Colfax
high school team and in spite of the
close score that was expected, were
beaten by a score of II to 2. The
score does not do the home team
justice, however, for it was an ex-
citing game and the Pullman team
did some fine work. Time after
time the local players chashed
through the Colfax line and downed
the men back of the line. The home
team made their points by safety.
The Colfax team could not have
done a thing had it not been for
their fullback, Stapleton. He PLAYED
the whole game for them and scor-
ed fifteen of their scores on three
touchdowns. Hart, of Colfax, kick
ed goal after two of the touch downs.
The Pullman team put up a stiff ar
gument after the game, claiming
that Stapleton was not eligible to
play under the county rules. They
claim that he did not have high
enough grades and that he is over
tWenty-one years of age. The Off
Gals would not listen to Pullman be-
fore the game but a conference was
held after the game end the objec-
lions stated. The matter will be talk
en- up before the county league com
posed Of the different superinten-
dents in the county and their action
Will be final. Several facts help to
uphold the arguments of the Pull
man team. Stapleton has not been
used in any game this season ex-
cepting The two games against Pull
man although Colfax has had harder
games and have been beaten once
Several reasons have been made for
this by the ColfaX players but no
two OF them have yet given the same
one. No one in Colfax seems to
know just what class Stapleton is
enrolled in at school but most of
them think he is a Freshman The
Pullman team is not kicking because
they were beaten but if Colfax can
give suitable answers to the question
asked them the argument will cease.
The team will play the Moscow
high school on Rogers field Friday or
saturday and this game will end the
season. -Ae team has been trying
to get a game with North Central
team of Spokane, but the Spokane
team has refused to meet them. Moss,
who was out of the game at ColfaX
with cracked rib, is back in the
team and he will play against Mos
COW. Kennedy and Cannon will be
out of the game and Chiffon and
Schlafer will probably take their
places at the two halves.

THU MYSTICISM OF CHRISTIANITY
Ttrse mmen Upon h Christian
EndeavOr Topic for October. >, Life
Lessons for Me from the Book Of
EplIesians." Eph. 4: 1-6. 1882.
BY WILLIAM r. ELLIS.

Religion IS more than a code Of rule
for conduct. Hard and unattractive
would it be if this were not so. No
body can conform to minute regula-
lions, embracing all behavior. Chris
tianity. instead Of this, offers an ami
mating life-principle. It deals with
the very springs Of being and offers
to men a new nature. New perform
ance is made possible by new power.
This IS "the mystery of grace" The
Impaired life of Jesus Christ. dwelling
in the heart Of the believer, enables
him to live as a new creature. IN
consciously and spontaneously. he
not written III codes n regulations,
but in the nature OF the new life
work is in Jesus Christ.
Religion must first be an inner ex-
perience before it can be an outward
manifeStat ton.
The seed of the Christian life is
out Of sight, bat it's fruits are for the
whole worlds beholding and use.
This high and difficult letter to the
observation-disclosures was meant by the
writer to be read in the other cities
where he had established churches)-
has one recurring theme-the mystical
union OF the Christian believer with
Christ. That is a further reach of
mysticism than ever Buddhism dares.
1t writes down Christianity as essen
TALLY spiritual before it is practical.
Disciples of this new Way are expected
to do more than join a church Or &C
cept a creed or follow certain prac-
tees: they are to partake Of the very
life OF their Master, being united to
him in bonds closer and more real
than those Of Wedlock. No longer
does the Christian live his own life:
there is a mysterious and inexplicabl Die
interf1ow of the very life of the Re-
deemer through the Whole nature of
the disciple. Thus Paul cried. For
to me to live is Christ" Again. he

When a person fails to pay his sub
