While yesterday it appeared that there would be no investigation of the allega- tions of the five disgruntled Sea Gulls against the source of their daily bread today the aspect is entirely different.
 It develops that Judge Kavanaugh has procured statements from the players and from the management, and that as a re- suit he reaches the conclusion that there is just cause for action,
 From a statement published in The Age-Herald of yesterday morning, it is reasonable to suppose that a meeting of the directors of the league will be held in the immediate future to battle out the merits and demerits of an unfor- tunRte situation.
 It is really pitiable that the goat" this season should be the Mobile club which. for sometime, has been on the ex- tremity of the ragged edge. But. for some unexplainable reason, 1t generally happens that the club which is forced to face such a situation is one which Is down and out.
 There may be reason for this. When club reaches the bottom, it often hap pens that in obedience to the clamoring of the fans. it goes out after new ma terial when it cannot pay the price. This is not necessarily true in the case of Mobile. but is used simply as an illustration of why the man in the hole is more liable to violate a salary limit than one who is sailing over a smooth sea in front of a gentle zephyr.
 It is understood that the officials of the Mobile club have notified Kavanaugh that they were unaware of any side" contracts with the disgruntled players in question. and that if any man was to blame that man was "Ducky' Holmes, erstwhile manager.
 In spite of the refusal of Mobile base ball scribes to speak on the matter, 1t is generally noised abroad that the all legged side" contracts existed from the first day of the season, that the first months conclusion brought the stipend, but that when the second rolled around, no extra money was forthcoming.
 This seems to be the gist of the rep resentation made to Kavanaugh by Messrs Campbell, Fiene, Ryan, Smith and Fox.
 If Manager Holmes made side" con- tracts with these players, his departure from the confines of the Southern league will not necessarily mean he will es- cape He will be answerable to the league even if he goes into Egypt. And if 1t is proved that he sanctioned the contracts, he will be "blacklisted," it is probable, until he pays a fine 10 be im- posed As long as the blacklist re- mains in effect, he cannot play baseball or manage a baseball club in leagues which operate under the national agree ment.
 There is absolutely no doubt but that Manager Holmes could have made "side" contracts with players on his club with out the knowledge of the officials of the club. But 1t IS a little difficult to solve the problem of how he could have met those contracts without the knowledge of his superior officers.
 n is reasonable to presume that the officials in question will make this plain enough when the league authorities don their togas and get down to real work.

Christs teaching. The connecting link
is as perceptible as the cord which
unites the newly born baby to its
mother; but as the umbilical cord, and
the placenta become after parturition
useless pieces of flesh, which are care
fully buried out Of regard for what
they once nourished, so the church has
become a useless organ, to hide some
where out of regard for what 1t once
was.
AS soon as respiration and circula-
ton are established, the former source
of nutrition becomes a hindrance to
life. Vain and foolish would be an at
tempt to retain the bond, and to force
the child which has come into light of
day TO receive it's nourishment through
the navel string, and not through the
mouth and lungs.
But the deliverance of the baby from
the mothers womb does not insure
life. The baby's life depends on a
new bond of nourishment with its
mother.
And so 1t must be with our Chris
tan world of today. Christ's teach
ing has gestated and given birth to
our world. The church, one Of the or
gans of Christ's teaching, has full
filled its mission and has become use
less, a hindrance. The world cannot
be guided by the church; but de-
liverance Of the world from the church
will not insure life. Life will begin
when the world perceives its own
weakness and the necessity for a diff
ferent source of strength. And this
is what must take place in our Chris
tian world; 1t must cry from conscious
ness Of it's helplessness, a conscious
ness Of the impossibility of depending
on it's former means Of nourishment
and the inadequacy Of any other form
of nourishment except it's mothers
milk, will bring it to its mothers
breast teeming with milk"
In the conclusion we notice one Of
the finest passages in his book, daw-
ing the contrast between the doctrines
of Christ and the doctrines of the
world. He says: They have faith in
the doctrine of the world, and they
only make use Of the plea they have
learned from the church-that much
suffering is inevitable for those who
would practice Christ's teaching; and
so they never tried to practice Christ's
teaching at all"
We see countless sufferings endured
by men in the name of the doctrine
Of the world, but In these times we

more necessary a man is to others the
more secure will be his own exist
ence. His altruism now becomes
passion. He loses his life entirely as
an individual that he may find it null
tiplied in the race.
He heaps satire and invective
against the church and ancient Gus
tom. He finds that twenty years af-
ter the liberation of the serfs clauses
in the church manuals regulating
slaves had not been stricken out. He
uncovers the worldliness and hypocrisy
of the church with unshrinking cour-
age and conviction. He says that the
church has done everything the in
dividual ought to do. 1t christens him
before he is conscious, administers the
sacraments, teaches men how to avoid
the plain teachings Of Christ, and then
before death administers extreme unc-
ton, after consciousness-and one is
saved! For this reason the church has
become useless. The world has been
better taught and spurns such num-
merry.
Such externals induce self conceit,
and keep men from practicing the
commands of Jesus, whereas If the
simple teachings were made plain to
people, all men, even, the Jew, would
accept them and find them a most
easy and happy rule Of life. He con-
structed ruthlessly a new gospel from
Christ's own sayings, and anathematiz-
ed nearly all existing human institu-
lions as being in the way Of the de-
yelopment of the individual He likens
all the churches-Catholic, Orthodox
and Protestant-to so many sentinels
still keeping careful watch before the
prison doors, although the prisoner
has long before escaped and is ming
ling with them and even threatening
them. All that whereby the world
truly lives at the present time, social
ism, communism, politico- economical
theories, utfliatarianism, the liberty
and equality of men and of classes and
of women, all the moral principals Of
humanity, the sanctity Of work, the
sanctitity of reason, science, art-an
these things that make the world pro-
gress and show themselves hostile to
the church, are only fragments of the
same gospels which, without knowing
it, the church itself promulgated, and
which, with Christ's teaching, it has
so carefully concealed"
The teachings of the church, with
its dogmas, it councils and its hier-
archy, are undoubtedly united to

hear nothing of suffering in behalf of
Christ's teaching. Thirty millions of
men have persisted in wars, fought in
behalf of the doctrine of the world
thousands of millions of beings have
persisted, crushed by a social system
organized on the principle of the doc
trine of the world; but know not of
a million, a thousand, a dozen, or a
single man who has died a cruel death
or has even suffered from hunger and
cold in behalf of Christ's teaching
This is only a ridiculous excuse, prov
ing how little we really know of
Christ's teaching. We not only do not
follow it; we do not even take it Sc
riously. The church Greek Orthodoxy
has explained it in such way that it
seems to be not the doctrine of life
but a bugbear.
Christ calls men to drink Of a well
of living water, which is close at hand.
Men are parched with thirst, they
have eaten filth and drunk one an
others blood, but their teachers have
told them that they will perish if
they come to the fountain shown them
by Christ and men believe them and
suffer torments and die of thirst with
in two steps of the water, not daring
to approach it. All we have to do is
to believe Christ, believe that he
brought good upon earth, believe that
he gives us thirsty ones a fountain
of living water, and go to it, to see
how cunning has been the deception
of the church. and how senseless our
sufferings are when salvation is so
near. All we have to do is to accept
Christs teaching frankly and simply,
for the horrible error in which we each
and all live to become plain to US"
Tolstoi was a prophet in a country
trodden down by hierarchy. What he
discovers as new would not have been
so new to him if he had opened his
eyes first in a free country like Ameri-
ca with a free church preaching much
that he found so startling to him. He
would have hailed with delight come
of the very teaching of which we are
proud, liberty and equality of men.
However, his life and mission will not
only leave an eternal impress upon the
Russian mind, but, passing over the
errors of his views, his true interpre-
tations will become an asset of Pro-
testantism everywhere, and he will be
enrolled with the apostles Of truth and
freedom.
