berry and pillage,
by an invading army, are reprobated.
Whatever is taken from the conquered
people must be obtained by the levying
of an indemnity fund. All this speaks
to us Of a higher moral sense, even
risy. The very need for the hypocrisy
implies that, with a considerable mum
Der, there are qualms of conscience on
the subject.
The Battle Was the Lords, and of
Course He Won
Benhadad sent his demands to King
Ahab saying, "Thy silver and thy gold
are mine; thy wives and thy children,
even the goodliest of thine King
Ahab, recognizing the greatness of the
army and his own unpreparedness for
resisting them, answered. my Lord,
0 King, according to thy saying. am
thine, l and all that l have" But
when the invader broadened his de-
mand and included with it the wealth
Of all the mobiles Of Israel, their wives
and their children, etc., resistance was
aroused. Thereupon the invaders set
the battle army against the walls Of
IsraePs Capital, Samaria.
At this juncture God sent a Prophet
to IsraePs King. informing him that
he would deliver the invaders into his
hand and give him a great victory
The astonished Ahab asked by whom
would the battle be waged against th;-
host. The answer was that at tll2
command the princes of the province
should fight under Ahab's direction
supported by the militia. By this sig
nal victory God would demonstrate
his power by protecting the nation
with whom he had made the Law
Covenant.
The Divine order was followed Two
hundred and thirty-two princes, or
chiefs, of the people at noon passed
out of the gates of the city, followed
by seven thousand militia--a small
number wherewith to meet host.
Apparently this was poor generalship;
but the Lord was the General and
overruled the results. King Benhadad
and his associates had been drinking.
The Syrians were ordered to capture
the men alive. But this they did not
do. Soon the Syrian forces were in
disorder and completely routed. HUI
manly speaking, the battle was lost by
Benhadad's over-confidence, and par
ticularly by his indulgence in intoxi-
eating liquors.
Lessons Which We May Draw
The honest, the holy, the reverential
of mankind, who seek peace and right
eousness may be ikened to Israel, to
Gods people Benhadad and his thirty
two kings and their armies would cor
respond to Satan and his various hosts
Of unrighteousness. We may name
these hosts as we please. To some,
one portion. and to others. other por
tons Of these hosts are the more rep
rehensible. Many Of these kings may
represent various Trusts which, by
manipulation of lifes necessities, are
attacking the welfare Of the people.
Others Of these kings may represent
political grafters. Others may repre-
sent various vices which prey upon the
public, including intemperance. The
forces thus set in battle array against
the public are appalling, especially
when the wealth at their command is
considered.
The demands Of these various enter
ests" come first upon the honorable
and well-meaning public servants. But

1 Mcbride is suffering with a festered thumb and will be out of harness for several more days. Wagner will prob ably continue in left field.
 Tannehill is fast recovering his strength from his recent illness and before the end of the current week will have struck again his accustomed stride
 | Before the conclusion of the week. too Roy Ellam will probably get in uniform. This will send Yantz behind the bat. again and will give Elliott a much needed rest
 1t is reported that deal will prob ably be pulled off this week which will make the team stronger. 1t is gener- ally recognized that additional strength is needed.
 in this connection it might be point 1 ed out that the Barons have no lead whatever. The little advantage they hold over teams under them can be overcome in the shake of a ducks tail.
 If they lose a few more games Nash vile, Memphis, Chattanooga and prob ably Atlanta will be fighting all around them,
 The race, were New Orleans not to be considered would be a magnificent one with all the teams practically punched.
 We may find ourselves in the second | division in trice.
 With President Baugh and Manager l Molesworth again on the scene it is probable that there will be something doing in the near future.
 The Barons open with Nashville to- morrow They will be at home for four series, during which the clubs of the northern division will be encountered.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

And now it happens that Chatta- nooga, selected by the wise to win the penhant, holds a celebration on account Of the fact that it's team has at last emerged from the depths and darkness of the cellar.
 Tlle Lookouts have been playing fine l1y The Looko outs are destined, in spite of early reverses, to finish in the first division. The Lookouts, if the canker las been healed. will make some of the alleged stronger teams hustle throughout the remainder of the sea- son.
 Atlanta hits the bottom. Chesty At lanta!
 Poor old Jordan; poor old Heismani pacr old Crackers.
 The Barons have been hitting the soapy for the past several days. The fans are grumbling. It is natural that they are grumbling.
 The Barons played poorly in Chatta- nooga and had it not been for the ter rife drubbing they gave Covaleskie on the opening day of the series 1t is prob able that not single game would have been put away to their credit.
 The team reached Birmingham last night and will go this morning to Montgomery. The team has been beat 1 en and buffeted about, but there still is prevalent that good spirit which has horne the bunch through many pre- yious winds and storms. The fellows are feeling finely and nothing daunted | by their repeated defeats at the hands | of the hitherto tailenders. | They go up against the Billikens this afternoon confident of winning. B. Maxwell will probably do the fling | ing.
