The Fruit Of
Faith
By Rev. James M. Gray, D. D.
Dean Of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago

TEXT-Therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord, Jesus Christ.
BY whom also we have access by faith
into this grace wherein we stand. and re-
jolce in hope Of the glory OF God.
And not only so. but we glory in tribu-
lations also: knowing that tribulation
worketh patience.
And patience, experience; and expert
ence, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed: be-
cause the love OF God is shed abroad In
our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is
given unto us.-Romans 5:l-l5.

II DIAMOND DUST II

The Pippins were pretty hard to
pick yesterday.
Fitchner isn't half bad as twirler.
Augustus made a sensational stop
of Fitchner's hit in the third and
came within a half inch of throwing
the runner out at first.
F'itchner is the pitcher who beaned
Nadeau last year and nearly put an
end to the veterans career. Nadeau
remembered him yesterday, manifest
ing a decided shyness when at bat.
After making the big Frenchman
dodge several times, Fitchner finally
planted one of his slants, but fort
unately it struck a part of the batter's
anatomy softer than the cranial bone,
Pitcher Fitchner attributes his loss
Of the game to the jumps. He declares
he had Nadeau struck out in the sew
enth and had it been allowed, he said
he would have been retired. Well,
the last ball called did resemble a
strike but the strike called just be-
fore was pretty much of ball, too.
"The battery for Pendleton today
will be Victor Berger and Woodrow
Wilson," was the announcement made
by Umpire Starkell yesterday. If the
socialist congressman and the demo-
, cratic presidential candidate had
been present they could have
learned how to work together to gel
results.
Ford robbed Berger of a hit in the
third, but Joe came back and got one
when it was most needed

Carl Kings Pippins looked very
much like winners yesterday for some
six innings, but they couldn't stand
prosperity and in the seventh Fitch
ner proceeded to let the Buckarooes
chase four runners across, after two
men had been retired. The final
score was Pendleton La Grande 3.
Fitchner started out like a Rube
MarQuard. his strikout ball working
fine and until the Bucks fell upon
him in the seventh, the fans were
conceeding him victory. Berger had

Pendleton managed to grab one in
the fourth when Pembrook clouted
out a three Dagger and registered on
Nadeau's long fly which went for two

The game was tied up In the sixth,
when Fitchner pole5 out a two sack
er. went to third on Raiders high
throw to first and scored on McBride's
sacrifice fly.
1t was in Berger'S hoodoo seventh
that the Pippins took the lead. With
one down, both Jamison and Naugh-
ton poked out two ply swats which
with Mountains single, went for two
runs. With two down in their hall
