Many a man is poor chiefly because
he has been afraid to trust his money

A census of such tim1d folk would
doubtless make long list, but such a
list is never quite so depressing as
when it includes those from whom we
have the right to expect better things.

we expect different spirit-of a Nico-
demus in the council chamber; of an
Erasmus in the reformation.
1t Is said that certain enraged beasts
invariably wait sign of terror in the
eyes of their victim and with the first
intimatton of such terror the animal
springs to the attack. Thus the forces
of evil watch for some sign Of weak
ening on the part Of those who are set
to defend the right. The mere blanch-
ing of cheek. some first evidence Of
faint heartedness, is all the signal the
enemy needs,
But to say that men and causes are
defeated by nt-heartedness Is like
ascribing death to heart failure. The
question still remains as to what in

a sense of personal demerit Few Of
us can carry comfortably and jauntily

which needs no accuser acts like an in
ward paralysis upon the souls best

Faint-heartedness indicates also
want of conviction. Some one says
that a bank never succeeds until its
president takes it to bed with him

that man must believe tremendously

a mutual friend by way OF accounting
for a certain commercial failure. He
never put himself into it," Nor can
man put himself into his task until he
believes in his task. A faint heart Is
often confession that it's owners soul
Is not yet engaged.
But the fundamental cure Of cow
ardice must be had from God. To be
convinced of His immense opulence Of
resource, to know that He has great
er stake in us than we have in our
selves, to believe that He never sends
His children on fools errands is one
part of sure cure for timidity. The
secret Of the Lord is with those that
fear Him" And those who in the best
sense fear the Lord are not afraid of
anybody else.

HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS
By John Fawcett, ID. ID.


[John Fawcett (Lidget Green, York
shire. England, Jan. 8. 17Ss-Wainsgate,
July 26, l617). an English Baptist pastor,
was the author OF several beautiful hymns.
It Is said that, in 1T72, after he had
served the little congregation at Wains-
salary, he decided to accept call to an
important church in London. He packed
his goods and prepared to leave. But his
affection for his people led him to recall
his acceptance and to remain with them.
On that occasion he wrote this hymn. He
little knew that he was writing a hymn
that would be sung in many lands and at
almost all times of parting and Of re-
union.]
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above
Before our Fathers throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears. our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear:
And often for each ether flows
The sympathiZing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain:
But we shall still be joined in heart.
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope reviVes
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day.
From sorrow, toll, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

Humility Is never conscious even of
itself.
Philosophical puppies are always
dogmatic.
Weakness is the quiet that belongs to
the right.
When a mans faith makes his head
hot it conceals his heart.
He who is looking for a chance to
feel hurt never has to wait long.
He who is only skim milk IN charac-
ter tries to be cream in conversation.
The most heavenly truth may be
evil when it forms a barrier between
brothers.

DoN,Ts FOR CHURcHMEN.

Don't forget that fussing proves lack
of force.
Don't expect to keep evil out unless
you keep out evil.
Don't dodge the facts lest in the end
you destroy the faith.
Don't mistake merely ruffied self
pride for an aroused conscience.
Don't forget that to do the right Is
the only way to build on the rock.
Don't try to find new truth by kick
ing at the old, but by leaving it be-
hind.
Don't fail to observe that the best
evidence of saint may be the sense
of imperfection.

Treating Horse Corun.

VERNON TAKES STEP
OUT OF THE CELLAR
LuckIess Oaks Are Trimmed in Initial Game
For Tail End Honors of League

Happy Hogan's crew are off to a
good start to drag the Commuters back
into the cellar. the position which they
held for nearly half of the season. At
their present stride the Hooligans
figure to accomplish the task, as they
took the Oaklanders down the line
yesterday without any apparent effort.
1t was only the generosity of Pitcher
Breckenridge that saved the transbay
team from a shutout, as the southern
twirler made the Oaks a present. of
run.
1t was a pleasant afternoon at Free
mans park and the crowd basked in
the sunshine without any signs of
interest whether Oakland downed the
Vernonites or vice versa. The only one
that seemed to care much was Happi-
Gus Hogan, who kept glibbering
throughout the affray. 1t was only
his remarks and the twittering of a
stray bird that broke the stiffness.
The Dream City team played with
the life of a nine composed of civil
war veterans. There was nothing in
their play that would lead a stranger
10 believe it was a real ball team. They
got around like lot of cripples and
Brackenride showed them up in ri
diculous manner. The fielding of the
Vernonites would not stand much
criticism. With any kind of opposi-
tion the southern outfit would have
been sent down to defeat, as Hogan's
men gave the Oaks chance after chance
to do some good. The only live man in
the affray appeared to be Breckenridge,
and he was half the snow. He pitched
a beautiful game as well as fielding
his position in a marvellous manner.
Vernon got off in the second frame
when Brashear started OF by rapping
the ball for a mailing two base hit.
Coy singled to right sending Brash to
third. Eagan hit a skinner down to
second which took a false bound and
skipped over Cutshaw's head and Brash
ambled home. DevereauX sacrificed
Coy and Eagan along. On Hogans in
field out Coy registered.
Another tally came to Vernon in the
third. Martinke singled after two were
down and stole second. On Brashear's
infeld hit he took third. Then both
of them worked the double steal and
Martinke scored Tonneson, who was
pitching for Oakland, was benched here
and Bolce took up the job.
In the fourth Eagan singled and
DeVereauX followed suit, Eagan taking
third. Breckenridge forced Eagan at
the plate. Stovall singled scoring Dew
ereauX. McCay walked and Boice hit
Martinke in the ribs, forcing Dew
ereauX home.
In the eighth Brashear singled and
stole second. He registered on Dew
ereauX's hit
Oakland got its only tally in their
half of the eighth. With one out Car
roll walked and Duffey Lewis followed
with a hit through short. Hogan skied
and Cameron and Maggart walked,
forcing Carroll home. This was a rosy
chance for the Oaks, but they were not
equal to the task.
Stovan was safe on Cameron's error
of his bounder in the ninth McCay
hit to right and Maggart allowed the
ball TO escape and Stovall came home.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL LEAGUE Is
PRACTICING FOR BIG MEET
By WILL SCARLET

In all the league schools the young
sters of the Catholic Schools athletic
league are holding daily practice to put
themselves in condition for the athletic
carnival which will terminate the Cath
olice celebration of Discovery week.
After paying their respects yesterday
morning to Taft the boys donned their
running suits and repaired to their
practice quarters.
St Mary's college stadium was much
in demand, and Coach Otto Ritter put
his services at the disposal of the little
runners.
The boys from St. Francis de Sales
school are among the most sanguine of
the Oaklanders who are entered for the
meet of October Is. These plucky
youngsters first came into prominence
in league circles when they came with
in an ace of winning the baseball pen
nant of the Oakland branch last year.
St. Anthony's school in East Oak
land is making its usual painstaking
preparations for the big event. The
Brooklynites are great workers, and no
one would be particularly surprised to
see them march off with a cup or two
on the occasion of the athletic carnival.
They have a coach formerly connected
with Sacred Heart college and are reap
ing benefit from his advice and instruc-
tion.

OAKLAND HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
EASILY OUTSTRIP OPPONENTS

BERKELEY, Oct. 5.-The bay county
freshman field meet on the University
of California oval this afternoon was
taken by the youngsters of Oakland
high school. who made a total of 43
points, easily outstripping the other
schools. Second place went to Lowell
with 25 points and third to Berkeley
with %. The meet was slow one,
the track being in poor condition, al
though several records were broken.
The Oakland relay team broke the
record in the one mile relay, running it
it the fast time of 80 1-5. The record
of the so yard dash was tied by Millett
of Oakland, who ran the sprint in
8 3-5 seconds Kaufman of Berkeley
broke the record in the pole vault,
vaulting feet incfTes
The best work of the day was done
by Millett Of Oakland and Christensen
of Alameda, each annexing 13 points
for his school. In the relay Millett ran
his lap inside of 81 seconds, which gives
him good showing for the bay county
field day next Saturday, his time being
faster than the average high school
relay man.
The results in detail were as follows:
Nile run-cole: @. II; s.; hrst: Ninekirk; Ala
media second: Field. L. II. s.. third. Time,
40 yard dash-Lesrner 0. Il. s.. first; Grant.

Elizabeth's parochial school in that dis
trict has a numerous squad of likely
youngsters from whom the track team
will be picked for the league meet in
the Auditorium. The Elizabethans are
in their first fervor and hope to set the
pace when the pistol cracks.
With Blufie Martin as coach and ath-
letic director. things are getting on
swimmingly down West Oakland way.
The boys of st. Joseph's institute have
their fighting spirit aroused and intend
to capture several events in each class
on the night of October 15. They made
a good showing in both the indoor and
outdoor meet of the league.
Sacred Heart school in North Oakland
is famous for its athletic proclivities, a
fact which the short but interesting
history of the Catholic Schools athletic
league proves. Just now the Temes-
calians are laying their plans for the
indoor meet of Friday week and are
confident that they will surpass them
selves on the occasion.
All the Oakland schools are united on
one point: The grand prix of the meet,
the Archbishop's cup, is going to cross
the bay. They disagree as to what
Oakland school shall take home the
trophy, but they are unanimous in de-
clariag that the trophy belongs in the
City of Sages. The San Francisco bows
will have to work hard to drive that
conviction out of the Oaklanders' heads.
