Jim will be deaf and dumb to the
umpires during the season that Is TO

excellent hopes of fu.filment-to con-

The reformation Of Jim Delahanty,
from the most notorious umpire-baiter
OF two leagues, into one OF the meek
est of ball players while on the field,
is one of the most remarkable In
cidents of the past few years In base
ball That such a change has been
brought about is due primarily to
President Ban Johnson of the Ameri-
can league who. according TO Della
hantys own admission, laid down a
rule which simply scared the player
into subservience to umpires and
good department on the field.

The Rev. w. NJ. Lawrence, OF East

subject of his first talk was The
spiritual life as the interpreter of all
life. "
Mr.. Lawrence took his text from the
story OF Christ and Nicodemus. "Nico
demus," said he, wanted TO talk about
teaching. about education, but Christ
wanted to talk about salvation. and
Christ put the emphasis where ii
should be put Il is not In education
not in philanthropy, but In religion
that the true Interpretation OF life is
TO be found"
The speaker then went on Ia EN-.
phasize the Importance OF religious
experience, saying that experience was
just as important in the religious lie
as in the ordinary business OF the
world. The only profession" he re-
marked, that places premium on
callowness and inexperience, is the
ministry"
IF il is true" said Mr.. Lawrence.
that we should interpret material
life through material things, and in
teliectual life through intellectual
things, II must follow that we should
interpret spiritual life through spir-
ituai things that is religious expert
ences. We should use our religious
sense
Il have heard It said that the
church has no voice, no message, moth
ing to give the world in these days. IL
II is true and / do not want to be un-
derstood as admitting it, it is because
the world today has not had religious
experience; IL is not qualified to un-
derstand the message that the church
has to bring"
The speaker was introduced by the
Rev. F. T. Galpin, of the First Bap-
fist church. Mr. Lawrence will have
charge Of the MONDAY services for the
remainder OF the week.
