pion Cubs, received a letter from Man
ager Frank Chance, which informed
Killing that he must be in Chicago
Monday, March 1, to start for West
Baden, Ind, where the catchers and
pitchers of the club will start working
out. This letter stated that this was
the "last notice to be given" King is
not alarmed about the tone of the let
ter and says he will not be present
when the pitchers and catchers start
for West Baden A week later they
are to go to Hot Springs and John says
he will also be absent when that time
arrives In fact, he will not join the
club until the 1st of April. This will
probably make Chance somewhat pee
wish, but King is going to tend to local
business and let the training trip go
unnoticed this season.

ceiVed His o. h

Salina, Kan, March lit is rather
doubtful whether the Rev. Billy Sun
day will be here for the chautauqua
next summer. The full programme,
given out today by the committee,
does not contain his name. but a
place has been left for him if he can
come. Sundays managers have con-
tracted with the local management
for his services here, but all the con-
tracts have to be o. K.ed by Sunday
before they are any good. Thus far
Sunday has not o. K.ed the contract.
William Jennings Bryan will be the
opening attraction of the week. He
will be here Thursday, July %, at
p. m. Sundays date will be Fri
day, July %. at 2:3O, if he comes at
all. Nothing has yet been heard from
Robert NJ. LaFollette. but the local
management is still hopeful of getting
him. The biggest drawing card on
the programme thus far, outside of
Bryan. is Herbert S. Hadley, COVER
nor of Missouri. Mrs. Margaret Hill
McCarter of Topeka is also one of
the speakers.

mercies and benefits which they have enjoyed.
During this past year we have been highly
blest. No great calamities or flood or tempest or
epidemic sickness have befallen us. We have

humb1y and gratefully acknowledge these divine
sources of these blessings.
wherefore, I hereby appoint Thursday, the
twenty-ffth day of November, as a day of general
thanksgiving, and l call upon the people on that
day, laying aside their usual vocations, to repair to
their churches and unite in appropriate services of
praise and thanks to Almighty God.

dox Christian world has been pleased
to style as counterfeit. Not all the
people who claim to be Christians are
orthodox, as Professionalism sees or
thodoxy. The number Of people whose
orthodoxy Protestanism denies, Is al
most as great in America as that VI
all the Protestant denominations COM
bined. Have we so far forgotten his
tory as not to remember the methods
by which these forces attempted only
few centuries past to overthrow all
Professionalism and establish their doc
trines forever? A method Of warfare
common to invading armies when
they cannot enter and take the city
openly, Is to move their forces in such
way, at such a time and such a
place as to take the defenders una
wares. Professionalism in America Is
too strong to overthrow In open COM
bat and the only methods open to un-
orthodox bodies will be to leaven the
teaching in our Sunday schools with
unorthodox doctrines. This Is the
shrewdest method that could be adopt
ed, for by intoxicating these doctrines
in the child mind at the impression
able age, they are lodged there to stay
forever.
Those who have observed carefully
the religious developments Of our
country during the past few years
will easily understand the meaning OF
what 1 have suggested, but those who
have not kept up with the onward
march of events in the world may be
doubtful Of the accuracy Of my judg-
ment. However, such doubts will not
suffice to change the facts In the case,
and 1t is my hope to at least arouse
sufficient interest to bring about a
careful investigation and study Of this
important question.
But some people say, "Our denom-
ination Is able to take care Of its own
