to Sunday baseball, by children
from any source.
Mayor Woodward says nothing,
but Is believed to be entirely in
favor of Sunday ball in Atlanta.

Sunday ball is allowed, the Southern
league will schedule games here.
Manager Billy Smith is out of

Sunday ball.
The Fans of AtIanta-GiVe it to
us.
"HE statement from Chief of
Police James L. Beavers, re-
garded by many as the most
puritanical of department heads
that Atlanta has ever had, that he
favored Sunday baseball. for chill
dren at least and the intimation
that Mayor Woodward does like
wise has wrung a shout of Joy
from the baseball fans of Atlanta.
That Atlanta will get Sunday
baseball by professional teams is
not at all certain, even yet.
Chief Beavers this morning
amended his utterance Of Friday
night by saying that he is in favor
OF Sunday ball for youngsters,

IS not willing to go as far as to
favor Sunday ball for professional
teams However, this much is GER
tain; II Atlanta allows Sunday ball
by the kids. It will be but a mat
ter of time when professional games
are allowed, That will follow nat
urally and without any hullabaloo.
The baseball association is abso-
lutely neutral about the matter. The
men behind IT feel that if Atlanta
wants Sunday baseball they will
give It to them. If they don't want
IT, we'll and good. They are content
to let things run along as they have
run for the past eleven years-ever
since baseball was revived in this
city.
The feeling of the average citizen
is expressed something like this;
1--WE believe in a proper observance
of Sunday. We are opposed to
drinking. gambling. carousing and
any form of Iawbreaking. At the
same time we are not at all sure
that Sunday baseball is not
stronger influence for good than It
Is for bad. We see nothing harmful
in the game itself. We believe that
IL keeps a lot Of young men out in
the open air and harmlessly amused
who might, If not thus amused. be
off in some secluded spot, gambling
and drinhng-for boys will be boys
and they are going to- furnish their
own amusement ON sunday if it is
not provided for them"
The anti baseball element prob
ably holds views somewhat after
this fashion: sunday should be
observed as a day of rest. If the
boys and men are drinking and

to their parents, their wives, their
families and the police to stop

A Church In the First Century
By Willard Patterson, of Ell Pdso

understood that they were to save
themselves by saving others, and that
they existed as an organized society IN
order that through cooperation with
others they might do their part in haY-
ing the gospel OF Christ (not human
philosophy preached to every person
in all the world. 1t was an organized
society of people who really believed
the gospel and had obeyed 1t, and not
an intellectual and religious menagerle
The apostles were not by virtue OF
their position officers in the cOngre-
cation with which they happened TO be
connected but men who, on account OF
their being with Christ from the be-
ginning, and what they had hearu anu
seen. were commissioned by him to
proclaim the terms of pardon and the
conditions Of citizenship IN his new
kingdom, and to inaugurate the Work
of the church, and to carry out tnelr
commission, they were endued Win

1t was necessary that an apostle
should have been witness OF the great
facts OF the gospel. Evangelsts &C

pentance and remission of sins through

qualifications Of an eYangeIlst were Were

to preach the gospel
All of the eVangellSts mentioned III
the New Testament were sent out from
the churches. and were heralds of the
cross rather than officers of parue-

by particular churches to preach and

They were given explicit Instructions
about how to carry on their work

100000 NEEDED TO AID IN
RIFLE DISTRIBUTION


The demand for Bibles is great and
the demand for Bible work is still
greater. Both of these demands come
from every part Of America. and from
nearly ali other parts of the world
EspeciaIly in such exceptional open
ings as China, the Mediterranean
regions where things are looking up
and in Central and South America,
where a prospective canal opening IS
changing the face OF things, oppor-
tunties are beyond anything hereto
fore obtaining. Churches of the Onlteo
States are asked for 100000 to help
to meet these unprecedented conol-
lions.
1t is through the American Bible
society. as representative Of these vast
interests, that the demands make
themselves known. This society has
some endowments, but the work put
upon it grows far faster than income
from these endoWments and from all
other sources. Bibles are not given
away, save in very needy cases In
stead. they are sold in thousands OF
instances when less experienced De-
nevoIent distributors would be sure to
give them away. Think Of going into
Mexico, or into the Balkans, under
present conditions and attempting TO
sell Bibles. Yet that is precisely what
the society dOes-and succeeds, though
always without purpose Of profit and
almost always at a loss. 1t does not
ask gifts save to do things 1t cannot
do without them
It takes $3.50, 900 a year at the New
York Bible house alone to manufacture
Bibles, and to purchase such as cannot
be had without expenditure Of money.
Almost every foot Of American terri
tory is covered by home Bible work,
and $685. 600 a year is needed to do it.
In foreign agencies $4,000 more
must be spent. The missionary So
cieties depend very largely upon the
Bible society for Bibles to use in their
work This fact is often overlooked
by supporters Of mission work. The
cost of making Bibles is only a part
TRANSACTIONS must be made and re-
vised. It is a vast burden. America
has built up, through hundred years
OF helping to meet these Bible needs,
a vast system Of Bible work that ex-
tends throughout almost all the world.
America has come to be looked on as
one of two great sources of Bible
supply. America cannot stop. 1t must
maintain its splendid reputation.
The total invested funds Of the
American Bible society amount to ST.
$4,000, and it brings in, about $685.
600 a year. Income from sales OF
| Bibles and other sources carry this
sum up to s390.000 a year. But not
less than 1925, 900 a year must be had
There are legacies, but these are I'M
certain The churches must be looked
! to for 1886, 900 a year, but last year
l they gave only s66,640.
