II the White Sox win the American
league pennant and go into the world
series, they may be deprived Of the SER
vices Of their regular third baseman,
Buck Weaver.
Weaver suffered a broken finger in
a recent game. There is no hope OF
him playing ball for at least three
weeks and it may be that he will not
be able to get into the game for the
final drive or the world series.
The fracture to Weaver's finger is
serious and he cannot go back into the
game until it is thoroughly mended.
playing at third base where man
must handle vicious drives at short
range, player with bad finger is not
much Of an asset.
In case Weaver Is not able to get
back into the game his place will be
filled by McMullin, who has taken his
place since he was incapacitated.
While McMullin is not in Viewers
class as a third baseman, he has been
filling in creditably during Bucks abb
sence.
Should Weaver be kept out Of the
game during the world series, should
the Six win, 1t would be the second
time that the White Sox went into the
national classic without the services OF
their regular third sacker.
In 1905 when the White sox and
Cubs battled for the world champion
ship, Lee Tannehill, the regular third
baseman, was moved to shortstop when

a great misgiving. One day she read of

the game, and then there is no reason
why cannot do the same that other
women here have done. Besides the

although it means work hard" So

ing the Strawberries, they looked so
fine that she must shout, "0h, must
have some cherries" Then quickly
followed other things, which rest now
on her pantry shelves. They're really
fit" she said, "for kings, but we'll eat
those things all ourselves. Tomatoes,
corn and beans will be the next things
for my winters store, till every shelf
is filled" said she, and there's room
for nothing more. Ten million women

ELEMENTS in

JESUS TOPIC

The series of eight lectures by DR..
]. H. Williams on Elements in the
Character of Jesus" opened on Thurs
day, October II, with good attend
ance of women. The lectures are CIV
en- in the Bible school rooms of Cen
trail Union church at 10 o'clock on
Thursdays and Red Cross work is fur
nished to all who wish it at the begin
ming of each meeting. Ladies are ask
ed to bring needles and thimbles with
them. Each lecture deals with a sep
arate element in the character of Jesus
so that one may enter the course at
any time
In opening the course DR.. Williams
spoke on the element of Joy" stating
that while the New Testament might
rightly be classed as a tragedy, and
the drama of Oberamergau was -natur-
ally styled a tragedy, yet the New
Testament was one of the most joyous
books in the world Dr. Williams said
in part: 1T is no exaggeration to say
that Jesus had good time His
sources of joy were so deep, strong
and real that they could not be taken
away. We see this first in his love of
nature, his delight in watching the
growth of the wheat, the mustard
seed, the beauty of the lilies, his love
for the mountains. Next we notice his
love of people, his constant delight in
meeting all varieties of men and wo-
men. Again We see his perfect health
which in itself must make a joy of
life, and note His love of reading, His
acquaintance with the Old Testament.
Last came his sense of joyous COM
partnership with God, through which
he created the modern thought of God,
the Father"

Saturdays Sermonette
BY LELAND n. TRACY,
Sc. Clements Church.

Christianity testifies that there is a
deep and almost universal yearning
for a new assurance of Immortality,
and a great outgoing of thoughtful,
reverent minds after a new apprehen.
sion of the principle of atonement.
What do these facts signify? This.
The world is keenly conscious Of the
need of God. 1t is great present,
pressing, universal question, Where
is God?" 1t is the question the apostle
asked of the Christ. And how was the
question answered? Have l been SO
long with you, and yet hast thou not
known me?" God is our atmosphere,
our element in Him we live and
move and have our being" .
About nineteen centuries ago thers
lived man in Asia Minor, in a con.
quered province of Rome, whose per.
sonality cast across the darkness OF
that age radiance such as lightning
casts across midnight sky. He lived
there is no doubt He lived. He died
there is no doubt of that, nor is
there doubt as to how He died. Then
singularly when the world thought it
had got rid of Him, His personality
continued to impress men, and contin-
ues still TO impress US in larger meas
ure than any other personality. The
brightest pages of all the centuries
are those across which His personality
most freely moves, those He dominates
most fully, and those He most fills
with the influence OF Himself. -.
Who was this Man? Or rather. Who
is He? For His personality is so vital
as to make Him our contemporary
