ENVY DESTROYS GROWTH AND LIFE

Envy is upon every hand; it is not confined to any
class About the most envious class of people on Gods
earth the preachers They envous Of each other
than lawyers are and politicians. Business men,
high people, low people, how envous they of each other
and how jealous? They cannot bear to any little
higher than themselves in position makes them envious
if God Almighty honors than He honOrs them
The Apostle Paul dealt with that thing in his letter to
the Church at Cornh and he pointed out the folly of
being envious and jealous One is Jealous of another
woman's dress Another woman is envious of another
womans hat, ones house. something else There
cruel thing earth than and jealousy 1t
will lead to murder of the most terrible kind Envy
Envy! You everywhere There is very little of the
true, genuine Divine love in the hearts of for each
other because if there were you would not great many
things happen that are happening.
The Word of Godsays Love is the fulfilling Of theaw
The Bible teaches what love will do and what will not
do. If loves man. he will be envious of him.
jealous of him. He will seek the overthrow of that
man. and his destruction simply because he is meeting with
greater favor and blessings from God than he is himself
tell you there is lot of the old hanging around
yet If you do not think just step fellows toe
You will then find out Some fellows like Lucfer
matches all you have to do is to touch them the
way, and away they go.

States third term and fourth term too The average length
of life today is only thirtthree and onerd What
does that amount to- It is all because people sin and do
wrong against their bodies.
Well was talking about love for our enemies Pray
them that despitefuy you It must be for right

up for principles and truths.
Look up all the passages in the Word of God on this
subject of Love- Remember that Greater love hath

MANS LOVE FOR HIS ENEMIES

Another theme following mans love for man is man
love for his enemies This has application to some OF
you because you have no enemies. The who has no
enemies does not amount to much He will stir any
thing anything. am going to take fine care that
they will not stand my coffin and say, Here lies
man who never had an enemy" If they do, will get up
and kick them. QIaughter) I do not think there is
greater disgrace than for to die without enemies
Turning to Deacon Forby) Forby thank God have
some. Keep it up The who does right and stands
for principal is going to have enemies. What does the
Bible say? "Love your enemies. Certainly. Overcome
evil with" what?
VOICES: Good" )
If there is man woman here today, who calls him
self herself Christian, and have hatred IN your
heart any person. and you refuse to speak to any
body you ought to be ashamed of yourself speak to
everybody Sometimes there people mean that
they will give you the chance to speak to them Say
Peace thee and if they do not want peace will
come back you. Keep it, and it on to another
person.
STAND FOR PRINCIPLE
We are to love enemies, and pray for them; but
God Almighty never said Surrender to Them. never
will My Bible not say Surrender It does not tell
me to do that love them Some people wonder how
can them when you take stick them Just the
way a father mother uses the rod on q child
If you ask me if believe in using the rod sorry to
have say that have to believe it. Parents first of all,
take your Children pray with them instruct them teach
them try to get them to do right in that There
boys and girls who if you spare the rod will break
your heart and you will go to the grave with for
them If they cannot be reached by then the rod
just God Almighty Who if He cannot reach by grace
will reach by Judgment You had better walk straight
and go straight under grace otherwise He will bring judg
ment upon you. There are sorry to say children to
whom you have take the The rod out

to hire lot of former big leaguers to make winning club. He has devei- oped Q lot of youngsters and taught them to play first class baseball, the calibre of which makes his club at the present time one of the best class B ball clubs in the country. When Mur- phy took hold of the club last season it could easily be seen he was the goods and would round out club that another season would show consider able form. Those who stood the high est in the class last season were kept for this year, and that's the way Danny built up a club that has all the traits of a pennant winning combina- tion. President James Collins was fortunate man when he secured Danny Murphy as his club manager, and to- day he realizes the fact. Murphy is one of the most popular managers that ever came into New Haven and the fans hope he will stick here for many seasons to come.-New Haven Union.

chicaao Increases Lead.

Chicago, July 23.-Chicago increased its lead over Boston today to 1-2 games by winning the final game of the series, to B. The visitors start ed their invasion of the west one-half game in the lead, but lost ten games, won six and tied one. In the series with the locals they lost three, won one and tied one.
 Great fielding behind Williams was one of the factors in saving the game for Chicago today. After the locals had taken an early lead by punching hits off Shore, Williams eased up and was batted freely, but the work of Gandil, Weaver, Schalk and Leibold enabled him to pull through until the eighth.

DRAFT HITS MAJOR
 LEAGUES HARD BLOW.
Many Youngsters Will Appear Before
 Exemption Boards.

While war department officials and clerks were drawing out the little cap sules in Washington which designated thousands of young men Of the coun- try for military service, they sprinkled quite few shots among the ranks of major league ball players. Just how many are among the first call cannot yet be determined. Quite large per centage of the eligibIes, mainly those with clubs on the road. do not know their numbers, and even some of those at home have not learned theirs.
 However, quite a few have beer. named. Davy Robertson is the only member of the Giants likely to be ex- amined for service. Davy's number Is in the 9Oos, and 1t Is possible that numbers up to the 1.500 mark may be called. The big outfielder was married the day after war was declared. Lew McCarty is among the zoos, while the others range above that. Benny Kauff learned his number but forgot it, so does not know his status Pete Kill duff and Bill Rariden have not learned their numbers.
 Bill Evans, a young pitcher with the Pirates: Corson Bigbee, outfielder, and Alex Mccarthy, infielder for the visit ors at the Polo grounds, are among those expected to be called out Uncle William Robinson is liable to lose three members of his troupe. They are all pitchers. Big Jeff Pfeffer. Leon Cadore, righthanders. and Sherrod Smith. SouthpaW, are the trio. All of them are below 1000 in serial numbers
 Mana gers are quite anxious to learn the full returns as quickly possible. Especially in the American league a few losses through the draft may change the complexion of the race ma terially if the men chosen are to be called within few weeks time. There is, however, a belief that the actual call to training for such as will be put into service over exemptions will not come until the season is pretty we'll along toward the close. But until the fact is definitely esta blished there is a feeling of anxiety in several managerial minds.
