several officers to find the missing

After waiting a short time at the

missing child, Mrs. Oliver decided that
probably her husband had played a

the Long Beach team by score of 8

mound for the blue and gold and En-
1oe in the box for the losers, won the
interscholastic championship OF Los

city championship recently by beating
Los Angeles high school by score Of

The first game was won by Long
Beach by a score of 4 to 8. Poly cap
tured the second contest by score OF

suited 6 to 1 in favor of the Washing
ton street school.
The game yesterday afternoon was
fast from start to finish and Long
Beach started the fireworks by scoring
Coughran, Fulton making hit to
center field. Polytechnic failed to send
a man over the rubber, as did its OPP
ponents in the second inning. In the
third inning Poly sent it's premier
pitcher to the bat. After letting two
wide ones pass him he swatted the
Spaulding for a single and on Gal
breth's error stole second and later
came home.
In the fourth inning Terry walked,
Dodson sacrificed and came home on
Enloe's wild throw. Not a run was
made in the fifth. In the sixth inning
Poly scored two runs, Terry and Nc
Aleer crossing the pan. In the eighth
inning Terry came in for the third
time.
The sensational playing of Terry and
Dodson in covering considerable ground
was the feature of the game. Dodson
was given credit for eighteen put-outs,
but failed to prove himself hero at
the bat.
McAleer, nephew to Jimmie McAleer
of the st. Louis Browns, made his bat

base.

ENDORSES HOLINESS.
Editor News:

Editor News:
"PedrO, f" of Cordova, Ala, said the
truth about the Holiness people being
condemned by the different denomina-
tions Well, maybe he and are wrong
in saying denominations, but rather
by those christians who don't live up
to the doctrines and teachings of their
church and have never had the expert
ence of sanctifcation, and / sometimes
fear not that of regeneration.
One thing is certain, these boys,
Mackey, Brown and Penn, have had
wonderful success at Pleasant Hill and
also at Hobbs Hill. Some of the
wickedest men, or as wicked, have
been converted under their ministry,
and if they are not called and chosen
can t understand how it is God has so
wonderfully blessed them, and that,
too, in the face of and in church
that is slow to believe in sanctitication
as second work of grace. More than
thirty have been persuaded to give up
sin and several have sought and OBJ
tanned sanctification. No use arguing
on sanctifcation-it is as much real
ity as regeneration.
Our meeting in the M. E. Church,
South, begins the first of July. We
hope a full gospel will be preached and
sinners, backsliders and christians will
get their portion. Too many are al
ready in the church without religion
Let sinners repent. Let backsliders
return to God and christians receive
the wonderful blessing of sanctitica-
tion; christians not sanctified know it,
those who are sancti fed know it; glo-
ry to God.
Holiness and sanctification is hated
and despised by the devil and all his
allies. | wish every congregation
would demand that holiness be preach
ed and that the pulpit and pew be
sanctifed Our sinners want full
gospel or none. The Holiness preach
ers can't begin to fill the calls made OF
them. These boys time is nearly all
taken up, so that fear Oak Grove
will not be able to get them. Pray
that God will send more Holiness
preachers into the field. They are
needed and in demand. Coalmont will
get them next week and then Beershe
ba and we hope Oak Grove. Pray
that God will sanctify our preacher
Of every name and order A preache
told me he opposed the doctrine as |
second work of grace asked him il
he was sanctifed. He said no. Thel
l said it certainly was not the frs
work in his case. He became silent
God is blessing these holiness peopl
and giving them wonderful influenc
over sinners. I Ike and love the Holi
ness gang 1t reminds me of the oil
time hallelujah religion of the fathers
the kind that kept them from desecra
ting the Sabbath and other sins.
