Hypocrisy and Sincerity.-Matt. 6,
I-16.
The lessons Of late have been
frieghted with importance. They are
based on the declarations of Jesus
given in the sermon on the mount.
Each verse is brilliant with meaning.
The truths of the christian religion
are set forth in a maner to attract
attention. and demad thought and
consideration.
The heading of this lesson tells a
great story Hypocrisy and Sinceri-
ty' How these terms stand out in
contrast with each other. How one
hates a hypocrite and loves one who
is sincere. Towering high among the
truths of the christian religion is that
declaration of Jesus, God is a spirit,
and they who worship Him must wor-
ship Him in spirit and in truth" OF
course true worship of God is not in
the outward form, but in the spirit,
and therefore it goes without saying
that hypocrisy has no liberation in
His sight.
In the days When Jesus was on
earth, religion as seen BY the people,
consisted in outward forms and cefe-
monies. The Jewish leaders were to
be observed in the streets and market
places praying, their voices heard dis
tinnt;voly with evident intent to he

often at the head of the mast where
coIors of the Victors were raised at the

International athletic field. Three flag
STATS are erected in the Stockholm
stadium where the colors of the differ

are hoisted. When u the 100 meters

When this test was included in the
olympic games conservative old timers,
both English and Americans, who
heretofore had dominated the field
sports, regarded it with suspicion as a
trick of the newcomers to gain points
which were not contemplated in the
original program.
The United States got the lions

stayed to the end with the Norwegian,

SPORT SNAP SHOTS.
(By Dan Mccarthy

! Chewing gum is said to be the
worst habit of Walter Johnson, the
and one of the idols of the American
| league. And since chewing gum isn't
a bad habit at all, it must follow as
the night the day, that Walter is a
model young man. In the days of his
| baseball infancy, out in Idaho, john
son could never be induced to touch
the flowing bowl; and when he went
| to Washington, where even staid old
senators are frequently known to lin
ger over their cups, he refused to be
turned from the path which, he had
taken in his earlier years.
The st. Louis club in the American
League has purchased Catcher Sny-
der from the Flint club of the South
Michigan League. The price is said
to have been $4,000. Snyder is a
Texas product brought north by Jack
Burke when he was managing Flint.
He is said to be green yet, but he
has a great throwing arm, is big and
strong and has all the makings of a
! ball player.
Wilson Collins, the Vanderbilt foot
! ball and basket ball player, is making
a nice pitching record in the south
this season. In fact he has done so
well that Manager Griffith of the
Washington club wants to annex him.
AT this writing Collins has not de-
cided whether or not he wants to be
annexed.
Walter R. Dickson, one of the most
promising youngsters on the pitching
staff of the Boston Braves, had his
feelings hurt when Manager Killing
fined him $50 for alleged careleSsness.
He left the Hub without even saying
goodbye and ducked for his home in
Greenville, Tex.
The New York American League
team, which had an option on pitch
er Heating of the Lawrence (Mass.)
club until July 20, did not wait until
the expiration of the time before MAX
ing a purchase. The twirler looked so
good to Arthur Irwin of the New York
club, who watched him in several
games, that a deal was made in June
whereby Heating was secured for New
York at a price of $1,000.
When Pitcher Davis of Williams
college completed his college career
the other day he found that it was
not necessary for him to follow the
and go home to live on dads charity.
In fact, there was such a scramble
for him among the major leagues that
it looked as if he could get almost
any price for his services. He final
ly signed up with the New York
Highlanders at a salary of $4,000.
Davis is considered the best college
pitcher in the country. Davis is a
right handler, possessing great speed,
curves and control. He has been a
sensation in the college baseball
world, and has helped Williams to
defeat practically all of her rivals

CENTRAL KANSAS LEAGUE.
Great Bend, 8: Lyons, 4.

Great Bend, July 8.-Leroy Plymp-
ton again demonstrated the fact that
when they pick out the leading pitch
er he must be considered. Lyons
never had a chance to win and he put
one down the alley for the only score
Lyons made, Wetzel having two and
one and taking the next one for a
homer. Leroy was getting even with
Nelson for all the mean things he
has said to him in the past and he let
Lyons down with a small supply of
hits and an even more limited amount
of talIies. At the same time the
Millers battered Mr.. Pritchard to all
parts of the lawn, getting a total of
ten hits. Score:
