t-.
But If you have done this, what
then? We come back to our text for
answer. Paul says, "Know We not that
they which run in a race run all, but
one receiveth the prizeT In other
words, all Christians are running in
this race, but all will not win the
prize. That does not mea that oil real
Christians are not saved or that all
such will not 60 to heaven.
But it means that 1t is one thing to
be saved and 60 to heaven and an.
other thing to get the prize Paul talks
about. Just what that prize is he
touches on q little later, but here he
simply says, $50 run, that We may OBJ.
tain"
Is not that what I'VE want to do? Do
we not want to run successfully? Do
we not want to obtain all that God
has SO lovingly promised US in his
Son?
How may we do 1t? Here is u hint.
"And every man which striveth for the
mastery" says Paul, lis temperate in
all things" You know how it is If
you want to be q good all-round ath.
lete. You must take good care Of your.
self. You must eat the right kind of
food, and sleep well, and exercise reg
hlarly and practice hard, and all that
kind of thing. You cannot afford to be
careless in anything If you would win
the prize. And so 1t Is In the Chris.
tian race To be temperate in all
things" means that as Christians we
must keep watch upon ourselves.
We must guard U eyes, and ears,
and tongue, and hands, and feet and
all our thoughts from sin. We must
seek every day to do the will of God
In all things. And that mean that we
must read his Holy Word and ask him
to help us understand 1t by his Holy
Spirit, so that we may know his will
and love to do 1t, just as Jesus did.
And this is worth while. for Paul
says: 'They do 1t to obtain a corrupt.
ible crown; but we an incorruptible."
The winner in the Greclan game felt II
reward enough II he had q crown Of
laurel placed on his head in the pres
ence of the %applauding throng. Such
a crown would 500 wither away, how
ever, but not so the crown which God
gives to the victorious soul. That is
IN incorruptible crown, there is no de-
cay in it and 1t lasts forever.
What Is the nature of that crownf
It is hard to express 1t In human Ian
kguage. Paul was once caught up into
Paradise. he tells us. land heard I'm.
speakable words which 1t Is not pos
sible for nun to utter" And this H.
illustrates why we cannot understand
much that we accept by faith of "the
things God hath prepared for them
TINT love him." They are impossible

BUFFALO TEAM MADE
209 RUNS IN ONE GAME

In view of the agitation for
more hitting in baseball, it is
interesting to note that .once
upon a time there was "some
hitting" For instance, on June
s, 1869, the Niagaras of Buff
falo defeated the Columbias Of
the same city by a score of 200
to 10.
The records do not tell how
long 1t took to score those 200
runs, but it is hard to see how
it couid ever have been accom-
plished between noon and dusk,
even in June. Imagine the
pampered stars of the present
time trying to score 209 runs
for a single team Of nine play
ers!
If that score had been kept
with all the modern details,
such as "hits and earned runs
offs each pitcher" it would have
been a hilarious thing to see,
but they didn't have all such
things Al years ago.

Francis Ouimet, the American amateur gold champion, more fully ex-
pressed the spirit of real amateurism and good craftsmanship following his
defeat in the recent open championship, says a writer in an exchange. When
he finished. clearly beaten, with a broad smile and a hearty handshake for
his great rival and the winner, Jerome Travers. Ouimet was asked whether
he was not sadly disappointed and disgrunhed over his failure.
"When I begin to put winning a championship above having a lot OF fur
at golf" he said, "then I hope I'll never win another"
What better illustration of the sentiment, sport for sports sake" could
have been asked. We have been only too severely, yet properly. condemned
in recent years because we place the victory too high, and do not give enough
regard to the pleasures of the sport itself. 1t may be that the placing of SO
much stress upon victory has resulted in the wonderful development of skill
in all lines of athletics in this country, far ahead Of that in any other nation
in the world, but it also has surely taken much of the pleasure and zest
from the sports themselves. .- f-s

ming races as much as we think and
talk about our baseball and football
games.
Knowing this, Paul uses an illustra-
bon that would attract their attention
and Impress them with the great Chris
tan truth he wishes to. teach. That
truth is. the future reward those Chris
tians obtain who faithfully serve the
Lord Jesus Christ in this life. %
The figure is that of a running race.
In a real race anyone may not run
just because he wishes to do. SO. He
must have certain qualifications and be
properly entered in the race. ,,
And 1t Is so in the Christian ace
Of which Paul writes. One must be a
Christian before he can enter that
race, and all people are not Chris
tians.
But who is a Christian? Some think
they are Christians because they are
not heathens, or because they live in
a Christian land, or because their pa
rents were Christians, or because they
try to live a moral life, or because they
attend church or Sunday school.
But this Is not right. Paul teaches
in another, place III Cor. SID, that a
Christian is a new creature, or a new
creation altogether; and this agrees
with what Jesus Christ said: Except
a man be born again, he cannot see the
Kingdom Of God" (John 3:3).
And how may one be born again?
The gospel Of John, 1:12, 10 answers
that question when, speaking of Jesus
Christ, it says: "As many as received
him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that be-
lieve on his name, which were born,
not Of blood, nor of the will Of the
flesh. nor of the will Of man, but of
Cod.
We see that to be born again Is to re-
ceive Jesus Christ as our Savior. And
to receive him as our Savior is to be-
lieve on him, to put u trust in him
to be saved, and pledge ourselves. by
his grace to follow him as our Lord.
Have you done that as yet? If not,
why not do so as you listen to this mes
sage? Why not say In your heart, Il
do now receive Jesus Christ as my Sa-
yior, and henceforth l will confess him
as my Lord" This is to believe on
him, and to be born again and to be-
come q new creature.
