One thousand five hundred and eighty
six paid admissions The largest attend
anee ever known at a baseball game at
the Berlin street ground.
An accident occurred in the third base
bleachers previous to the starting Of the
game that might have been more serious.
One tier of the bleachers caved in under
the heavy weight of its tenants. Sew.
eraI were precipftated to the ground
while others managed to cling to the
boards. Not one of those who fell
through was injured.
The italian team exhibited one of the
veterans of the game on its bench for
an emergency pitcher. He had no chance
as Weaferi was at his best. This "res-
cue. twirler was the butt for many of
the jokes hurled by the wits in the
stands.
Spectators along third base line caused
David to ascend the ether in the Sec
ond inning. Fortunately, his misplays
did not figure in run-getting.
Both teams were sorely lacking in
numbers Of understudies on the bench.
II was evident that both clubs intended
to utilize their regulars and none but.
Pease. the old Laconis player, gave
general satisfaction to both factions
with his decisions and little adverse COM
ment issued from the stands.
Clare, who recently severed connec-
tions with the Amoskeag team in the
Manchester City league, doomed up as
the most formidable sticker of the game.
He negotiated the only earned run OF
the Italian team with his circuit clout
in the initial inning. 1t was his first
appearance in Barre this season. He did
himself justice.
Comoll threw away an Italian score
in the fifth. He was the first man up.
He poled long hit over Peduzzi's head.
1t was a good two-base hit, but the run
ner foolishly attempted third. He was
caught 10 feet off the bag. Had he re-
NAMED on second another score would
have been recorded for the Italians.
No game will be played between the
two teams on next Saturday. The man.
agements have consented not to hamper
the attendance at the Clan Gordon an
nual picnic. The next game will be
played on August ] at Intercity park.
The series is best three out of five
games.
sullivan played a strong game for
Barre. lie secured two hits for three
bases. On the bases he proved fast by
purloining two sacks. In the field he
accepted six assists with no errors. His
attempt TO steal home in the seventh
inning was smothered by Comolli with
only inches 20 spare.

The Present War and
Christianity.

Nothing in the present terrible
European situation is 80 depress-
pirg as the evidence it affords of
y the fearful contrast between Chris
tianity and Jesus Christ! 1t
amounts to nothing more or less
than the breakdown of the religion
of Western civilization. 1t is
frightful to see actually before us
the fact, that all the art, learning,
knowledge, science and religion of
the Western world have not been
equal to the task of holding the
barbarous instincts of the animal
man in check and is leading hu-
man beings into the sham bles of
slaughter IN manner in which no
civilized country on the globe
would permit lower animals to be
killed. The battIe-fields of Eu-
rope today are proving conclusive
ly that the vast increment of hu-
man intellectual force in recent
centuries Of history has been ap-
piled almost entirely to the per
fecting of the agencies of destruc-
ton. In a word civilization in
Europe has practically broken
down. That is the plain meaning
of the European war.
One of the most futile of per-
formances is the endeavor to fix
blame here or there in this vast
catastrophe. To say that one man
or one nation did it, is worse than
foolish. No single man, however
called the War Lord of Europe,
could possibly do this. No single
nation, however cursed with mill
tarism, could do it. All Europe
is an armed camp. What the army
is to Germay, the navy is to Eng
land. France and Russia and
Austria as we'll as the minor coun-
tries have all been in the leash of
the vicious and immoral theory,
that vast preparations for the bus
mess of killing can at any time
prevent war. As matter of fact

interest.
Only in comparatively recent
times has this been discovered.
The religion of Jesus Christ is
not, and never Was, and there is
not the slightest evidence in the
teaching of Jesus that he ever in
tended it to be, religion of the
ology or dogma. There is evidence
that He intended it TO be religion
of service and of service first and
foremost. The catholicity of Je-
sus' teaching on the subject of be-
liefs as such, is one of the intel
lectual wonders of the Gospels.
The wonderful inclusiveness of
His prayer and His service is the
vastest reproach to the organized
Christianity of today that could
possibly be framed. There is no
indictment of Christianity that
could equal in penetrating severi-
ty the condition Of Europe at this
moment. But that indictment is
written in it's severest form in
the words of Jesus Christ in the
Gospels
One needs only to think back a
little while to see the grotesque-
ness of most of the contentious of
today. Only few years ago we
were wild with rage at the Belgian
treatment, under the leadership Of
King Leopold Of infamous memo
ry, of the poor natives of the Con-
go. A few more years back and
we were all groaning in horror at
the frightful Russian massacres Of
the Jews in the pogroms which
shocked the moral sense of all hu-
manity Still few more years
back, we were shuddering at the
monstrous. barbarities of the Drey-
fus case in France. Have all these
peoples changed their character
and suddenly become sponsors of
light and leading? Such sup
position is absurd. Left to them
selves, in their own affairs, every
one of the warning nations exhibi-
ted sardonic disregard of the
! practical aspects of the Christian

out it's virtues. Old time miners

ticed because it has warped the
view of the people who are sup
posed to hate war most. This the
vast body of Christian people
themselves. The fact that Chris
tianity has been until very recent
ly, and still is religion of theo
logical dogma instead of practical
righteousness, lies at the base of
the downfall of European civiliza-
tion.
When the Council of Nicaea in
the year 325 A. D., esta blished
Christianity on the basis of dogma,
there was inflicted upon the Chris
tian religion the greatest blow it
has ever sustained. That council
with its outfowing results fixed
the attention of the Christian
church and its leadership upon
dogmatic consideration as the test
of vital Christianity rather than
upon practical righteousness as
emphasiz by Jesus Christ him
self and made absolutely clear on
every page of the Gospels. That
was catastrophe, the full mean
ing of which has never been COM
pretended until now. Christianity
has never meant the test of right
eousness, only the test OF doctrine.
Mem bership in the church and
preferment in religious institu-
tions did not rest upon beauty and
holiness of life and practical ser
vice to humanity, but upon astute.
ness in theological discussion and
; skill in ecclesiastical manipulation.
Hence the vast energies of the
Christian church were expended
upon doctrine as the major interest
