Basketball rules for the season of
19O9-10 have just been issued and
show many changes of importance.
While at the present time football
and baseball occupy the center of the
athletic stage, the gymnasium game
will soon leap into the limelight and
the announcement of the change in
rules is timely.
In the future, the umpire will be
almost as important an official as the
referee. He will be expected TO pay
extra attention to the players who
are not handling the ball. Much of
the rough work in basketball is done
by men who are some distance away
from the leather. ana who elbow,
push. kick and punch each other
when the officials are not looking. 1t
Will be the duty of the umpire to
watch more carefully for these kinds
of fouls.
Score keepers will be required to
compare the scores after each goal
and in case they do not tally, they
must call the referee immediately.
Otherwise, the referee must accept
the larger score.
Formerly, II three players, put
their hands on the ball at once, the
side having two men touch the ball.
fouled. Now if two players are strug-
Cling for the sphere. a third man who
comes into contact with either of
them is Penalized, but he may reach
under them and recover the ball
withouta foul if he does not touch
them.
If the referee calls play BALI and
the members do not for some rea-
son take their places within min
ute. the referee can, at the end of
,hat time, throw the ball into the
ball into the air and start the play
anyway.
An important change regarding the
boundary has also been made. For
merly, if a player touched line. he
was still inside the playing field. In
the future, a player or the ball touch

TALKS ON RAG=TlME IDEAS
INTRODUCED IN RELIGION

'Reynold E. Blight, minister of the
Los Angeles Fellowship, spoke at Blan-
chard hall yesterday morning on Rag
Time Religion" He said:
David Starr Jordan once said: That
is vulgar which is poor of it's kind
There is a kind of music called rag
time-vulgar music with catchy tunes
catchy to those who do not know nor
care for things better. There are men
satisfied with rag-time music, with rag
time theaters, with rag-time politics,
with rag-time knowledge, and with rag
time religion
what is rag-time religion? A re-
ligion of superstition, Veneration for
things that deserve no Veneration, at
tachment of undue Importance to forms
and ceremonies 1t is religion of emo
tionalism. Emotion is a necessary part
of religious experience, but when it
predominates over reason, and leads
the devotee into all kinds of excesses,
1t is vulgar. Dogmatic religion, when
science and progress are subordinated
to authority and credulity, becomes
vulgar.
"A religion that concerns itself with
Biblical eXegesis and the discussion of
obsolete questions to the exclusion of
the vital. pressing, social questions of
today should be classed as rag-time.
A religion that serves as a cloak of
respectability to cover commercial viii
lainy is the cheapest kind of all. Then
there is a snobbish kind of religion that
makes the church a social club, and dis
eliminates against all but the snobby.
"All religious teaching that appeals
to the cupidity or fear of the worshiper
is vulgar: and all religion based on
selfishness is unworthy
1.-The right thinking man rejects all
these spurious brands of religion and
demands a religion that is simple, eth
ical altruistic, full of aspirations and
inspirations, and is in harmony with
science and reason"
During the course of his address Mr..
Blight read a recent editorial from The
Herald entitled "Mendacious Threats" :"
and highly commended it.

SAYS COMBATING OF EVIL
is LEE'S GREATEST PROBLEM

"The problem of human life, past
and present, is how to combat or con-
troll or master evil" said Mrs. Lucie
Beckham Stevens at Blanchard Music
hall yesterday afternoon.
EVIL originated with the breaking of
law, and it's elimination can only be
accomplished through keeping the law
that makes for natural growth and de-
velopment.
ITO rise superior to evil we must
build a soul armor through self-puri-
ficatiOn. EVIL in all it's forms turks in
the human atmosphere ready to con-
meet with every error in the nature
through the law of attraction. If the
individual could for a moment realize
all around development that may come
to one independent of the vibrations of
evil he would rise and conquer his
Weaknesses. The best of us are far
from self-possessed. SO long as one
error remains in the character you are
cheated out of the full reward that
your other conquests have earned. The
only foundation for spirituality is
character building, and spirituality
should be the goal of human effort

On their own responsibility. 1t cannot

Can we follow Jesus? If by this is
