Many people think that our reading
public is devoted more largely to fic-
ton than to anything else. Hence it
will surprise them to learn that less
than 10 per cent of the books pub
lished in the United States in 1911
were novels, although another per
cent may be added for Juveniles"
The exact number of books issued
during the year was 1870, with the
ology not SO very far behind novels,
and biography and history making
fine showings. The editions of novels
are on the average larger than those
of other books, but the balance
is heavily in favor of
non fiction.

been when they saw the descent of the
sick man. But Jesus was not astonished.
At once he prepared to recognize the de-
votion and faith of the bearers and the
ialth of the sick man by healing him.
Jesus knew at once that the man longed
more for purity of heart than for the
healing Of the body, so His first care was
to satisfy the deeper need by granting
to him the forgiveness of his sins When
the glad fact had been made known to
him that his sins We're forgiven, it would
be time enough to heed the unspoken
PRAYER of the four who lad carried the
patient, when he could not go himself.
Very likely his bodily intirmity was a
result of his sin. If so. how natural that
Christ should say, Son, be of good
cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee!

Joy of Forgiveness.

Only those who know by experience
WHAT forgiveness Of sin is can appreciate
that message. Consciousness of sin is an
awful burden: the relief that comes when
Christ takes the load on himself is like
nothing else in human experience. The
world seems like a new place to tie for
given sinner; the birds sing more sweet
ly; the flowers are more fragrant; people
are more interesting: life has a new
meaning. And so many are missing the
joy of this transformation because they
persist in carrying their own sins. Jesus
waits to lift the load.
In tie crowd before Jesus were certain
scribes who had come to find fault with
His work. Here. they thought, was their
opportunity. They knew that no one could
forgive sins but God; this man was for
giving sins: therefore he was blasphem-
ing. They did not stop TO think that their

A TRADE BREAKS
OF PIRATE TEAM

When Pittsburg traded Tommy

Chicago Cubs for Artie Holman and
King" Cole, one of the greatest trios
of baseball players known in the his
tory of the game was forever broken.
Wagner. Fred Clark and Tommy
Leach. the big three"
1t was formed thirteen Years ago.
when. in the season of 1899. Tommy
Leach. a fast boy, was sent to play
thru base for the Louisville Colonies,
which was then in the National league
circuit.
For thirteen years these three great
players hung together. electrifyiny
nants and worlds championship.
After playing together in Louisville
for n ear the National league cir
cult was cut down to eight clubs. and
Louisville was consolidated with
Pittsburg in 1900. and Fred Clarke
vas made manager.
In 1901. 1902 and 1908 Pittsburg
won the National league pennant. In
1908 P%ittsburg lost in the worlds
championship series to the Boston
Americans. after winning three of the
first four games.
Clarke, at the head of that peerless
trio. kept on and in 1909 again won
the pennant and beat Detroit for the
worlds championship.
Some idea of the heart-breaking
pace led by these three men can be
had from the fact that 5,905 times
they hit safely after coming to bat
no more than 1908 times.
OF these 5.905 hits the total bases
were $500. and $40 were two .bagscrs,
