More of that Atlanta Journal concerning
Molesworth's alleged compliment to the
Atlanta team, is told as follows In the
Chattanooga Times
These Atlanta newspapermen are en-

The enterprise of one Atlanta writer
has got Moley apologizing to his home
folks and falling all over hifsef ex-
planning. Thereby hangs an amusing
story Moley tells it himself.
Il was Just getting into the bus after
one of the lickings we received in At

a young fellow. probably a cub reporter,
approached me and said, that his paper
wanted my opinion of the Atlanta club

good after the drubbng we had received
and felt like Grabbing just little.

Next day the Atlanta paper carried
a big story to the effect that 1 had said
that the Atlanta club had everybody else

off with the pennant easily. I'll be care

HATED WITHOUT A CAUSE

Genesis 37--April Il.
Love envieth not"-1 Corinthians 1874.
The story Of Joseph and his breth-
rem is deeply interesting and instruc-
tive. One lesson 1t teaches is the unwis-
dom of a parents showing too great
preference for one child, and thus
cultivating amongst the others a spirit
of envy. Another lesson Is the unWls-
dom of telling even our dreams TO nh-
sympathetic ears. Joseph was not blame-
worthy for having those dreams. IN
like the majority of dreams, they came'
not from Indigestion, but from the LORD.
Joseph was not to blame for artlessly
telling his dreams. Evidently the LORD
him to do so.
The Lord foreknew the Jealousy of Jo-
general that it is the part of wisdom TO
it, because He had already mapped OUT
Joseph's experiences, which the envy Oh
his brethren merely helped TO accom-
plish.
We may, however, learn the lesson IN
general that il is the part of wdsdo INTO
keep to ones self truths not necessary
for another to know. which might mere
ly arouse opposition Jesus encouraged
this thought, saying, Cast not your
pearls before swine, lest they turn again
and injure you" Very deep truths con-
nected with the divine plan and with
Christian hopes had better not be told to
others than those for whom the Lord in
tends them-the meek.
Joseph a Type of Messiah
The most important feature of today $
Bible study is that which recognizes
Joseph as type, or prophetic picture,
of Christ--the Messiah. Joseph was kind
to his brethren, and was on an errand OF
mercy to them when their envy plotted
his death, and later on sold him into
slavery. His brethren hated him without
cause-merely because his father loved
him. and because God in the dreams had
foreshadowed his coming greatness.
Joseph's brethren should have said
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-23

Let lis rejoice that we have so noble a
brother Let us rejoice if it be Gods
promise to Abraham and Isaac, and to
our father Jacob, may thus reach fulfill
ment. Let Gods blessing come to what
ever way He pleases." But they We're
enyious to the point of cruelty, first
resolving to murder him. and later, mere
ly as an alternative to sell him into
slavery"
"They Hated Him Without Cause"
But Gods providence continued with
Joseph and blessed him as a slave. and
through much tribulation finally brought
him to the throne of Egypt-next to Pha-
raoh. Then it was that the famine drove
Joseph's brethren to Egypt to buy wheat
Thus was fulfilled his dream-that his
brethren bow down to him, Illustrated
In the eleven sheaves which bowed down
before his.
Later on, when his father and the en-
tire family came into Egypt to live in
Goshen, they did obeisance to Joseph. as
the representative of the Egyptian gov
ernment, thus fulfilling the second part
of the dream. But all these experiences
were at the time dark. All looked as
though the Lord loved Joseph less than
any other of Jacobs family. until the
time came for his exaltation to the
throne. Then everything was changed.
(Which Things Are an Allegory"
The allegorical meaning of all this. as
applied to Joseph, is that he also was
hated without a cause We read in
Psalm 1914. "rhey that hate me with
out cause are more than the hairs OF
mine head" Jesus quoted this state
ment and applied 1t to Himself saying.
They hated Me without a cause" (John
15:25). The brethren of Jesus were the
Jews, who crucified Him. But there was
no cause of death found in Him.
We perceive that 1t was for envy that
they delivered Him and called for His
crucifixion, because His works were good
and theirs evil. because He taught the
way of God more perfectly than did they,
because He declared that the time would
recognize Him as the notwithstanding
in the clouds of Heaven, with great pow
er and glory-and would bow the knee to
Him and King and Lord.
AS with Joseph disaster, shame and
treachery prepared the way for glory and
honor on the throne of Egypt, so with Je-
sus His trying experiences proved Him
loyal to God and led onward to His ex-
altation to the right hand of Divine Ma
esty. st. Paul refers to this, saying, He
(Jesus) learned obedience by the things
which He suffered; and being made per-
feet dhrough suffering), He became the
Author of eternal salvation to all those
that obey Him."-Hebrews SO.
"If We Suffer With Him"
The Scriptures assure us that in Gods
great plan, not only Jesus is to be ex-
allied to the throne of empire as the
world Messiah. but with Him is to
be a company of brethren, sharers of the

Mobile Item: Molesworth manifestly
must strengthen his Birmingham cham
pions to put them in the running. They
need at least one more good hitter and
will not become the terrors to the pitch
ers they used to be without two. But
yo,i can usually trust Rick Woodward for
that.
Mobile Register: With the season little
over a week old, the strength of the
teams in this league can be Judged bet
ter than when the scribes made their
.'guesses'' before the opening. Right now
1t looks like Atlanta. Mobile, Nashville
and New Orleans for the first division
with Montgomery. Memphis, Chattanooga
and Birmingham bringing up the rear.
This guess is subject to change with
out notice.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal OF course
few believe month from today will
find the percentage table thus arranged.
Birmingham is sure to come sooner or
later, while you can always figure Charley
Frank to be up there fighting Frank an

doughty Dutchman decided his present
-phalanx is incompetent, he'll get out the
magic wand. Then, prestoi new team

that's why the willy wizard of these
baseballic parts is always in the pennant
hunt.

ham and Chattanooga are worthy Of

wide ones. Messenger promptly bunted
| In front of the plate and when Flick al
| lowed Troy's peg to pass directly through
| his hands the stands awoke to the real
| ization that Marcan was on third and
Bob on the Pennsylvania cushion with
none down. Bodus rewarded Moles-
worth's confidence in permanently sta
tioning him In center and his contribu-
ton to the agonizing festivity was a
screaming drive to uttermost right. The
blow was legitimately a triple but when
Flick on the relay hurled the sphere into
the stands Bodus cantered across behind
Marcan and Messenger.
1t appeared to be another slaughter for
the brave and bold but Carroll and Ell
lam were easy outs and Cove beginning
with the second lent additional proof to the
truth of the adage that bad beginning
makes a good ending. The Outlooks had
Foxen's number from the start and took
so readily to his offerings that they piled
up three runs in the opener. Coyle, who
led off after Elberfeld had rearranged his
lineup to shake the "Jinx," opened the
locals hostilities with a clean single to
left Flick whitfield, but King duplicated
Coyle's wallop. Foxen then proceeded
to intoxicate the sacks by pinking the
Kid. Ellston grounded sharply to short
and Elberfeld was forced but Coyle
scored and King took third. The stands
we're IHen lTedteu TO the unusual perIOrlu-
ance of seeing Ellston steal second while
Foxen chatted with Mayer holding the
sphere in his hand the mean while. Harbi-
son rudey disturbed Williams tete-a-
tete with clean drive to left and the
sight of King and Ellston steaming
across resuscitated the stands. Four wide
ones to Massey and Moesworth's disgust
and Foxens exit became matters of rec
ord F'ittery here took up the burden
and after walking Street managed to
whiff Troy. So much for the opening ses-
sion.
Fittery Is Drubbed
The youthful southpaw who opened the
series for the Barons escaped until the
SIXTH but the Lookouts enforced his rele-
cation to the bench in favor of Thompson
just before the end of that session. The
former collegian got by unscratched.
The free batting array came up In the
sixth though Massey inauspiciously
opened with a high pop to Mcbride. Street
singled ceanly to left and Ffttery graci-
ously recognizing the profession, walked
the pole. A jolt in Coyle's dorsal region
and the sacks were drunk. Flick redeemed
himself in the pinch for his hobbies in
the opening stanza and beat out scratch
to Ellam scoring Street and leaving the
sacks still reeling. Fittery then gener-
ously walked King and "Covey" matricu-
lated at the platter. Elberfeld duplicated
F'licks scratch and Coyle scored. With
Ellston up the stands cried for the knock
out. Curt" 8" effort resulted only in a
fast out, Marcan to McGilvray, which
sent Flick across.
