THE ANCIENT WORTHLESS.
Hebrews ll;1-19-M March 30.


~Our fathers trusted in Thee: they
trusted. and Thou didst deliver
them."-Psalm 22:i.
St. Paul in this lesson throws upon
the screen vivid pictures of the Won
ders wrought by faith in ancient
times, and gives a partial roll-call
Of the heroes OF those battles.
The broad foundation for his disserta-
ton is found in the first verse Of this
Study-"Now faith is the substance OF
things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen" AS water is not "a
solid upon which our feet can travel,
except II be CONCEALED, into ice, so
belief, In the ordinary sense OF the
word, must be solidifed into faith.
True faith seeks for a positive Mes
sage from God. and diligently endeav-
ors to find IT, Then il becomes al

will be effected between God and hui
manity.
The story OF Enoch's translation is

John 3;13) God may have protected

Indeed, Enoch could be no excep-

st. Paul makes a sweeping state

pleasing to God in proportion to his
faith. Surely here we have an incen-
tive to growth in faith. since Gods
people desire to be pleasing in His
sight.

Faith is not alike easy with all
mankind. Some can crystallize their
faith in Gods promises into what
practically is absolute knowledge, on
which they dare do anything. Many
have less faith and are still children
Of God. These must needs pray,
Lord, increase our faith" and be en-
couraged by the rewards OF faith
given 10 others There are others,
however, to whom faith seems abso-
lutely impossible. They cannot be-
live anything beyond their five SEN
ses. They have never developed the
sixth sense-of faith, confidence in
God.
What shall we say of these? Are
they by this natural effect OF heredity
debarred from Divine favor to all
eternity, because they do not please
God? This is not the teaching OF
Scripture The Bible teaches that "A
time is coming, under Messiah's gra-
cious Kingdom, when 1.-THE knowledge

reaching all classes. II will not be
dependent upon faith. The way will
be made so plain that even a simple
ton need not err in his endeavor to
know the Truth.-Isaiah 1878.
But in the present time faith is an
indispensable matter, according to
Divine arrangement. because the
Heavenly Father Is seeking from
amongst mankind a special class to
be associates with His Son-as His
Bride and Joint-heir. Since these
will be ushered into positions OF
great trust, as we'll as OF great honor
and service, they must needs be
tempted. tested in all points. Their
faith in the Almighty must be inn
plicit Similarly. as we shall see,
God has provided a special work for
the Ancient Worthless, mentioned in
today's Study; and hence He has
recognized as worthy for that great
work only such as could manifest
great faith in Him and in His Word.
Hebrews 1850, 40.
Abraham Looked For a City.
ST. Paul recounts the different
steps Of Abraham's faith-demonstra-

Summing up (v 1S). St Paul
states that all these noble characters

Arrangements are now under way for

Game, by 81 to Is.
TYLER FEATURES GAME
Visitors Come from Behind and Land
Battle in Last Quarter-Passing
Is Sensational.

New York University basketball five
put the GEORGETOWN quint on their backs
for the count last night In the best game
that has been witnessed in the Ryan
gymnasium for many moons, by the score
Of 81 to Is. Short passes, superb team
work, and sensational goal shooting con-
stituted the jinx for the Blue and Gray
lads. Coming into the second half with
the score against them, the Gotham lads
displayed some OF the best basketball
work that any one could ask for, and II
was impossible to stop them. A beauti-
full shot from near the center of the
floor by Tyler gave the boys from the
big city the lead for the first time, and
from then on II was all their way. Not
withstanding the fact that the Hilltop
pers lost they must be given credit for
the game fight they put up.
At the start Of the game before the
ball had been in play one minute, wetzel
sent II through the meshes from the CEN
ter Of the floor. giving the Georgetown
lads an advantage OF two points. 1t was
Georgetown's half by a margin of four
points, the score being II TO L. This half
was slow, and the play Indifferent, al
though the teams played nip and tuck,
not being separated by over four points
throughout the half
In the second half came the downfall
Of the Blue and Gray team. Starting on
with an entirely new style OF play the
Gotham lads showed such a bewfldering
attack that the Hilltoppers were unable
to stop them Cummings and Tyler Gagged
the ball with quick rapidity. and took
such a commanding lead that they were
never in real danger of being overtaken.
Had waldron been able to cage the ball
from the foul line a different story might
have been told, as fouls were numerous
in this half. Lineup and summary:
