rifle counter-attacks have been deliv-

SERMON SERIES
Week Of Revival Meetings Being
Conducted by Rev. Steffey
at M. e. Church.

A most apprecfative audience list
ened to a strong sermon last evening
in the First Methodist Protestant
church, where special revival services
are being held this week by the pas
tor. The sermon was based on the
theme, Fruitful and Unfruitful
Christians" The scripture refer
ences being the first eight verses of
the fifteenth of the gospel according
to st. John. Rev. Steffey said in
part: The beauty of the vine as
planted. trained and tre1lised; its
grateful shade; its fruit-all render 1t
not only interesting, but suitable to
set forth in symbol the excellence OF
the Redeemer, His nobility, beauty,
preciousness, and use to man. As
the vine was used throughout the
old testament scriptures as an emblem
Of the chosen people, so Jesus in the
parable of the vine and the branches
puts the plant to the same use. As
the vine is the source Of strength for
the branches, so Jesus is the source OF
spiritual strength for His people.
The branches are dependent upon the
vine. The vine will exist though the
branches be cut off and left to die.
Jesus can get along without me, but
] can not get along withuot Him.
The church will get along without
me, but I can not get along without
the church.
The branches are indebted to
the vine for their fruitfulness. And
as the branches of the living vine
evince the life and health of the
plant by their verdure. vigour, lux
uriance, and comeliness, so the
signs of spiritual life in Christians
are manifested by peace and cheer
fulness. the spiritual prosperity of
the members of the church of God.
Where there is fruit-bearing there is
an attendant cleansing of the
branches. that it may bring forth
more fruit UnfruitfuI branches are
cut Off, cast out. gathered and burned
unfruitfulness is the result of not
abiding in Christ, no more can ye,
except ye abide in me: for without
me we can do nothing
As the grain is the glory OF the
soil, the fruit the glory Of the shr1,b
tree, or vine, so also is the Father
glorified when we bear fruit On
earth the vine reveals itself in the
branches, and thus conceals itsa1f
behind them. Often, as Godet so,,

Plans For NeU League

interested, am sure good, sub
stantial league could be formed.
There is not a town in this list,
which, under ordinary circumstances
would not draw an attendance OF
$4,000 or more.
: II have always contended that
under proper management. that IS
sticking strictly to the salary limit,
playing on the percentage plan.
which the Central association made
a mistake in doing away with, anu
not paying fancy prices for managers
(as it takes lots of money for them
TO secure players to keep up th':ir
reputations), league would succeed.
How to Economic.
Under these arrangements eacn
town would not have to be bled Tor
$1,000 or $4,000 each season. II each
town raised $4,000, this, with the re-
ceipts from an average attendance OF
$4,000, means $3.50, without taking
receipts. Now by staying to $1,000
limit for tue four and one-half
months and not paying the manager
more than $1,000 for the season, this
means $500 for the PLAYERS and
managers, watch leaves $3.50 for
uniforms and running expenses.
"In case any of the towns have to
build a ball 2ars, more money would
have to be raised, but there Is al
ways a good chance of picking up
extra money ct the end of the season
through the sale of players. Many
towns the size of the ones mentioned
have been paving $4,000 to $4,000
each season for players and managers
without getting better brand OF
baseball than could be obtained
through a more economical manage

"The plan outlined is out Of the
question in leagues where there are
two or three clubs that do not pay
any attention to the salary limit. But
all OF the places mentioned have
been in baseball and have lost money
and they can readily see that it is to
their best advantage to run their
clubs on business plan"
