"How are you, "Sister Love-"
And stood beside her beau,
To await to witness lie.
Yes, they call me liar,
But we are always among briers,
And the one who gets stuck

Wear a scar for Jesus,
For it is the sweetest.
Be called a liar for Christ.
Jesus paid the price,
If you are called in adversely,
Be sure you have the necessities. .,.
You need the spirit, power and blood,
For though Gods way be rugged,
Hard, self -denial it's sure way,
No devil or thief can gainsay,
They can yell, "You're liar,
l don't believe it,"
But after all it pays
To watch the briers.
Somebody. my body, in the grave,
In the grave must lay.
For Jesus is surely coming my way,
A scar l will wear on MY eye,
A sad tear within my face,
But my heart will be clear,
My JOY will begin,
The race will be won,
The victory begun,

Ha makes US as happy as lark,
He sends his angels to bring
The very echoes of his choir,
And always comes in the darkest

Never from this way depart,
Keep pure, righteousness, holiness in
your hearts.
You need not talk about what you
can do,
For devil will say it s no use,
Ear he'll say the world isn't looking
For no reading, writing or books
About Christ.
But look the old devil in the eye,
And boldly say, "You're the liar"
He'll begin to roar, and get by
On some deceitful lust,
But always be ready to shake the dust.
And let old Satan have the fuss,
For God is able our tongues to hush.
One thing we can always remember,
A Christians peace needs no mendlng,
! And the devils confusion has no end

We always hear the devils best,

For weeping and wailing is at the

With Clean Sweep.

No matter how sensationally the
Royal and Grand Central teams roll.
they have yet to overtake the Con-
tinentals,. leading the District League.
At the start of the season, when the
Continentals assumed the leadership.
with their rivals close behind, pre-
dictions were made freely that they
would give way before long to either
the Royals or Grand Centrals.
Increase Their Lead.
They are still in first place. how
ever. and last night, when the Bel
mohts were encountered. increased
their advantage by winning three
games. The Continentals are not a
fash in the pan. as was thought at
first. 1t now appears that the Royals
have a worthy rival for the league
title. The Continentals are winning
games with as much consistency as
the ROYALS, although the latter are
gaining their victories by greater
margins.
Last night the Continentals knocked
down a total of LII pins, with scores
OF 573, ST.. 1857. against SIT, SGT, and
SIS for the Belmonts. Jack Loveless,
former Jed bowler, now one of the
Continentals' mainstays, was the best
performer with q set of
$40. His games were 1877. 100, and
122. Only one score below 100 was
registered by the winning team. Cha

Hard luck befell Sam Gottlieb. and he
will be unable to make the running

The whole Central attack was
broken up as q result OF the break In
the lineup. Central will face Techs
victorious team with Solomon and

Tech will look even better than II

ton, President David L. Fultz, of the

the stand of his organization.
'As Sallee acted in direct violation

Fultz, "he was expelled. IL is re-
ported that Ritter, Sandberg. and
Witterstaeter have signed. Witter-
staeter is the only one of the trio

There is absolutely no moral or

WILLIAMS AGAINST
LAWN TENNIS RULE
National Champion Says ANA
teur Legislation Will Dis
rupt Body. -

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Richard Nor
ris Williams, I'd, the national cham
pion, dropped a bomb upon the pro-
posed new amateur rule to govern
lawn tennis players yesterday. The
former international player and HaF-
ward captain had as his partner in the
action George w. Wightman, who was
long active in the affairs of Pacific
coast lawn tennis before his becoming
q resident of Boston a few years ago.
Williams started out in a lengthy
document issued to the players of the
country with the warning that the
passage OF the rule as proposed surely
means the disruption of the National
Association as 1t now exists. Williams
and Wightman offer q compromise.
There is no element of subterfuge
about the manner in which Williams
points out the dire calamity which
may be the outcome of the annual
meeting of the delegates next month.
Injury To Tennis.
1--WE may say that if at the meeting
in February some such plan as we
have suggested is not adopted, and If
an actual rupture should take place
between those believing one way and
those believing the other, very seri-
Gus and even fatal injury may be
done to the game in this country, nor
is the possibility of such a disturb
ance remote" says Williams.
"On the other hand, IL the commit
tees proposed rule is put to a vote
and is not in fact carried-and we
wish to state here that we do not
think a two-thirds majority in favor
of it can be mustered-the, result will
be no rule whatsoever and the future
in no way protected. Wightman and
I do not think this is the proper
thing. AS tennis players we believe
it to be our duty to attempt to bring
about some constructive legislation
which will meet every demand"
Suggests n Remedy.
The remedy which the national
champion suggests is the insertion of
a single new paragraph in the present
rule under the general heading with
which the rule begins: "a person
shall cease to. be an amateur by COM
uniting any of the following acts:
"By entering into the business of
handling, buying or selling tennis
goods after the date of the passage of
this rule, due notice having been
given"
Williams explains his reason for the
stand he has taken as due to the fact
that George T. Adee, president of the
National Association, had stated that
'little harm has resulted up to date
from the tennis players entering the
sporting goods business" If that isl
so, comments the champion, why PEN
alize men who have done no harm?
