ORIGIN OF TITLE

A great deal of curiosity has been
expressed over the origin of the title
of MADAME X" the sensational dra
ma of mother love which Henry w
Savage will offer at the Grand the
alter on Saturday night, December 3.
The play is named after the central
character-a woman on trial fer her
life in a French court. She has re
fused absolutely to give her name
to indicate who and what she is,
while all the efforts of the police to
discover her identity by other mems
have been in vain. Thus she becomes

judicial customs, Madame X The

RELIGION OF A BASEBALL FAN,
Baptist Clergyman Advises Christians
to Slide and Steal Bases

ANpeASS NICA ADVISES
to Slide and Steal Bases.
Upon the faces of the congregation
of Trinity Baptist church, Greene and
Patchen avenues, BROOKLYN. there were
happy smiles the other night as under
the guidance of their new pastor the
Rev. Nathaniel Thomas Hafer. they
saw IN FANCY a great green baseball
with God as the umpire and Christ
the captain of the home team For
the pastor preached on 1.-THE Religion
of a Baseball Fam and all his SMILES
and metaphors were drawn from the
national game. Christians should
slide home, steal bases and remember
that 1t was better to be a bat boy on
Christ's team than a pitcher on the
other"
The minister made a confession be-
fore he got to his metaphors. He said
that since he has become their pastor,
on April 1, he had been to three base
ball games, and he had found gospel
in them. Every one should play the
game and apply its lesson to the game
of life, with the Bible as the book of
rules.
'tBut it is not alone necessary to take
care of ones own record" said the
preacher. There are two ways in
which a fellow player can help an
other Coaching and making sacrifice
hits. OF course it is natural for one
to want to try for home run, but
sometimes it is better to help advance
the other fellow. Jesus is the great
sacrifice. He has set the example.
BY following him we may not only
advance from base to base, but make
the final score. Lincoln was the great
sacrifice hitter of the Civil war. When
our last records are made up there
will be a column for the sacrifice hit
tiers.
Stealing bases has a bad name, but
it's an expert play. The players do
L,1s
portunity and sometimes s. de to their
base. So it is in life. It IS not good
to run blindIy when the devil stands
ready to touch you out 1t is better
to avoid evil and sometimes slide I'M
der and root it out.
I'm sliding to base it is better not to
go feet first, though I am aware that
many good players do it. But in real
life the head should lead. Too many
let their feet lead
t'Then, again. the fan notices that
unless there is a strict authority there
can be no good game. There must be
an umpire and a captain No player
is independent. If it is necessary to
substitute player he must give way.
The captain does not always consider
the whole team. In life many find it
hard to give way. In our Christian
life we must recognize Jesus as the
captain of the team.
There is nothing more disgusting
than to see players wrangle. The UNI
pire must be supreme. 1t is lamentable
when people go through life kicking
| against the umpire. They won't let
God be supreme. God alone is able to
see the whole game and all the play
ers. God is the umpire of the whole
game and in the end he'll be supreme.
"AH of the players are in two col
umns that led by Satan and that by
Jesus We're not merely fans. We're
all players, and Jesus side will win.
I am trying to coach some poor fellow
who doesn't know whether to steal a
base"

her members. We are to win the ma
ton for Jesus by winning the indi-
vidual hearts to him. Only as he
reigns over the lives of the people can
he reign over the country as a whole.
So we see that patriotism's problem is
one with the missionary problem
the conversion of our brethren to
Christ.
As the old prophets loved Israel and
longed for her redemption, SO should
all Christian patriots be filed with a
passion for the nations salvation.
Night and day the complete CONVEX
sion of our country should be a bur-
den on our hearts. For that end we
should pray. For that purpose should
our gifts be freely given, and our
personal efforts be exerted. May God
save the state.

much about the evils of life, or even
about the abuses in the church, and
his mental vision will become distort-

The Repulsive Power.
It would be bad manners, bad peda-
gogy and bad psychology for any
teacher of this lesson to focus atten-
ton upon the seventeen works of the
flesh which Paul enumerates in this
lesson. They are a hideous warming
and all too true. But they may not
safely be conned too closely. The
method is bad and unsuccessful. as
centuries of vain holding up of the
horrible examples of overindulgence
in strong drink have proved. 1t is not
dangers against which we are warned.
We can safely take the words of wise
old Paul, corroborated, as they are,
by the wisdom of all the great sages
of history, that obedience to the i'm
pulses of the lower nature not only
ends in safety, but also creates
myriad evils.
Better far is it to hold aIoft the
glory and power and beauty of the
spiritual life. The desirable end of
life all lie within the sphere of the
spiritual. Let US commit to memory
this majestic enumeration of the fruit
of the Spirit:
Love Goodness
Joy Faith
Peace Weakness
Longsuffering Temperance
