ATHLETES FAIL TO HOLD OUT

Most of us are proud of the flint
Dung athletes who figure conspicu
,usly in the college games and tn,
General belief is that they are long
lived and become magnificent speci
mems of manhood, but it seems tina
his is popular error.
Recently there was an investigation
f the effects of athletics on the
hysical condition of young men an:
statistics were gathered concerning
25 former athletes in the United
states Naval Academy classes from
891 to 1911. OF this number MIN
ave died and twelve have been re
tired from naval service for disability
f these twenty-one, six were afflicted
With tuberculosis, eight with menta
nervous disease, resulting in SUI!
ide in three cases, two with acute al
oholism and two with heart diseas
All these breakdowns were trace
'irectly to the strain caused by tract
nd crew racing, football and the hare
preparatory training required. OF thu
emaining 604 former athletes, n;
ever than 1913 have disabilities .
bnormal conditions which were prob
bly, induced by too strenuous ath
cites, if not actually caused by them
1t is reasonable to assume that thu
anne record would be made by an ex
animation of the former athletes II
he universities and colleges.

which we will consider. He was last
seen walking with Cod
Can a Man Walk With God?
Why not? Is not man created in
the image and likeness of God, in
righteousness and true holiness? AL
though the features of this common
likeness are battered out Of recogni-
ton, yet the purpose of mans crea-
ton that he should hold the closest
fellowship with God remains, and If,
recognizing his marred condition he
comes in penitence TO God as David
came, he will be received as one after
Gods own heart and walk close with
I him
AS to the fact Of walking with God,
we have, first, the case in question
! Then we have the clear statement
that Noah walked with God. Near
the end of the Old Testament we have
the statement that certain priests
walked with God in peace and equity.
TIE Psalmist said Though l walk
through the valley of the shadow Of
death. will fear no evil thou
art with me-" If we believe that the
fourth person in the furnace into
which the three Hebrew children were
cast was the Son of God, again do we
have men walking with God for the
king said, Il see four men loose, walk
ing in the fire" All through the cen
turtles men and women have walked
with God. and no picture of touching
elbows or linking arms is too strong
to express the contact. Walking with
God is the Christians goal, and he
sings:
So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame,
! So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
Walking with God involves separa-
ton from the world, a negative re-
suit II then involves congeniality in
personal qualities. Can two walk
together unless they be agreed?" In
the case of man walking with God, the
qualities in God must indicate the
mutual qualities, and those which man
may possess are holiness, merciful-
ness, the spirit of self-sacrifice, and
love-
Enoch Walked With God 800 Years.
Walking with God implies prolong-
! ed and constant companionship with
! him, and in the case before us, the
walk continued for 800 years. When
Jesus called his disciples he said, Fol
low me" meaning that he would have
his disciples attach themselves close
| ly to his person, and at the end of his
ministry he commended those who
were then with him.
We cannot ask unselfshly, is this
walk for mans benefit? 1t implies a
mutual comforting of benefits.

with God win De close intimacy with.
olt any suggestion of offensive famn.
iarity. God holds trysts with his peo.
pie Christ and his people have com.
mon secrets; all that is Christs he
longs to his followers. How sweet #
is to have God take us into his con.
fidence, and reveal to us the deptbs
of his love for us!
In the case of Enoch we have a SIG.
gestion that prolonged walk with
God will result in something better
than any communion to be realized on
earth. Enoch was translated and
God took him to himself and redeemed
as he was by the blood of Christ vet
to be shed for him, he had blessings in
Gods presence greater than those Of
angels. Walking with God is a proph-
ecy of heavenly translation.
