Origin of Baseball.

Baseball probably grew out of the old
English schoolboy game of FOUNDERS. "
Some have adduced evidence that ii
came from the old New England game
OF "one old cat or 1.-TWO old cat" which
may be true. The old game of tipcat
may also be related. 1t was played by
four, six or eight players. each stand
ing by a hole or base. One of the Cd
pos1te party threw the cat to a bats
man, and every time it was hit they had
10 run about the bases Probably
FOUNDERS and tipcat had the same an
cestry- AT any rate, baseball belongs
to the family. An EngIishman SEEM

Use of the life that now is, and of that
which is to come" Il Tim, 4-S)
We are assembled to pay our last
| tribute of respect and pray for the eter-
nal repose of one who in life endeared
| herself to all who knew her. Whilst
the church still sings her alleluia of
Eastertide, and the faithful rejoice over
the Risen Savior, who conquered sin
and death, we, today, instead of mourn
Ing have reason to rejoice, because
whosoever believeth in the Savior shall
not taste death.
Death, in the natural order, is inevi-
table. All see it in the distance. Its
near or distant approach is one of the
uncertainties of life. 1t may be today,
and will be for thousands who at this
moment enjoy perfect health; 1t may
be tomorrow: it may be a year hence,
five, ten, twenty, forty or fifty at most.
Who knows? No one. The Scripture
says. Between me and death there is
but one step" When, where or how
that last step will be taken, no one
knows. That step solves the problem
of life. When taken then the soul, in
reality, begins the eternal life destined
for it by it's Creator. What then we
term death is not really death, but the
beginning of immortality. In consoling
the widowed mother who lost her only
child, Christ said: "She is not dead,
she sleepeth" Like the little seed
thrown into the ground which must
rot and apparently die before it buds
forth, SO must we all die before we en-
ter that life of immortality. In that
life beyond the grave are two abodes,
one of infinite bliss and the other of
eternal woe.
