Lift up your eyes on high, and be
hold who hath created these things,
that bringeth out their host by num-
Der; he called them all by names by
the greatness of his might. for that he

Why sayeth thou, 0 Jacob and

over from my God?
Hast thou not known? hast thou
not heard. that the everlasting God, the
Lord. the Creator of the ends of the

them that have no might he increaseth

But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk. and not faint.

BOXING NOTES

Sam Langford, who meets Sam NC
Yea in the opening bout of the Atlas
A. A. of Boston, next Tuesday night,
showed that he has not lost any OF his
speed, by defeating Jim Johnson at
New York last Tuesday night. The
accounts of that match gave the Tar
Baby" eight Of the ten rounds, john
son being on the verge Of being knock
ed out. Sam McVea, who will face
Langford, is an entirely different prop
osition than Johnson, McVea Is con-
sidered the cleverest big man in the
boxing game. He and Langford have
met seven times, the bouts being held
in Australia and France. each match
being a bitterly contested one. Should
McVea win over Langford. which
many good judges of boxing think he
will do, he will secure plenty IF good
matches in this country. as Langford
is considered without a peer in his
class.
