At the Sunday morning service the
evangelist spoke from the text rs
any thing too hard for the Lord?" He
said in part: Man is limited, cir
cumscribed, hedged in, bottled up,
baffled and beaten on every hand by
problems. .insoluble and obstacles in
surmountable. 1t is true that he has
accomplished many things, He has
coupled together continents, annihilat-
ed space, plucked messages out of the
air, wrought many inventions and
made many discoveries, yet he must
stand helpless and insignificant in the
midst of the inexorable laws and
illimitable forces of nature.
"In view of mans limitations it may
be asked, is any thing too hard for
the Lord? Creation, in ten thousand
varied tones answers back there is
nothing too hard for God He who is
able to speak the universe into ex-
istence and hold it intact forever,
finds nothing too difficult except that
which involves a self-contradiction,
and the Bible specifies that it is I'M
possible for God to lie.

what Is the value of bunt?"
Have you ever stopped to think over
this question? Well, no. Is It in the
first attempt or In the following?
Many argue that there Is nothing to
q bunt but to lay the ball down with
runner on base and advance him by
sacrificing yourself. That's not the
value Of a hunt, according to Mana.
ger Hickey Of the Browns.
Most players, when they are told
to lay II down with man on base, get
In there and run II. out. This Is the
mistake many OF them make. But
now, to show that the value Of bunt
Is with the succeeding attempts: II a
batter hunts once. of course. the first
and third sacker will draw in the next
time he comes to the plate. Then all
the hitter has to do Is hit q little
harder. and nine times out Of ten he
will own base hit.
And right there Is the real value
Of a bunt."

The Milwaukee team was finally
