Later came che scrap between Phil

Braves, It ia unlikely that he will
succeed. The Braves and Yankees
will travel northward together, Just
as they did last year. The Braves
train at Miami, Fla, and the Yankees
at Macon, Ga, hooking up together
somewhere in Georgia and showing
the tank towns what major league
baseball looks like in the spring.
The Griffmen will probably play
only about ten or eleven exhibition
games next spring, but because OF the
later start OF the regular campaign,
good weather should be their lot and
few games should be cancelled be-
cause Of the elements.
With the later period OF spring
training in the big leagues the South
ern Association teams to be played
should also be in better condition
than in past years. Therefore, the
may be worth while.
Usually the bush league teams have
not been at work long enough to
make a decent showing with the big
fellows. This has applied especially
to pitchers, who almost Invariably
have had weak arms when opposing
the major league clubs.

IF Boston fans show a strong de-

make that attempt, too. have no
cares TO resume his duties as leader
Of the Red Sox, but 1t is for Boston
fans, who support the club, to evince
their wishes IN the matter.
Frazee wanted to have the Red SoX
hook ~ with the New York Giants
for the spring exhibition tour, but
made his scheme known too late. The
Giants had already arranged TO travel
with the Cleveland Indians. However,
he closed with Secretary Foster, OF
the Giants, TO have the Red Sox and
Giants travel together in 1919.
The Boston magnate told Hub base
ball writers that he expects baseball
TO have a prosperous year in 1918. and
particularly did he impress upon them
that hts own club. the Red Sox, would
be in the pennant race from begin
ming to end.
II never believed yet in digging

That's why I obtained Bush, Strunk,
and Schang, believing them capable
Of making my club a contender. OF
course, we have other places to
strengthen. but they'll be strength

There is q third and a very large
class Of officials, those who do not
know the rules. The result Of their
appearance in game is an unend-
ing series OF bquabbles and disputes

alike. They are continually arguing
with players. The game soon gets

coaches and players knowing the

Of written quiEses each fall for all
officials, thug forcing them to know

cheney as, officials are those who
love the game and In this way con
tribute their bit to carrying II along.

The better officials Of the country

views and Interpretations and tell
each other about the odd plays they

They are heart and soul in II because
they love foot9all. Unfortunately this
type of offeiai in each section Is gen

smaller institutions as 4 rule get the

The proposition is to produce more

the ultimate purpose of the universe
He had created and was carrying on
ward. This much light could not be
more plainly exhibited that to set
forth Himself in His absolute at
tributes in the form of mana
personal, moral, intellectual, holy,
loving being, manifesting himself by
means Of his inherent power. He
speaks and it is done, he commands,
and it stands fast.
"There came a man sent from
God, whose name was John. The
same came for witness, that he
might bear witness of the light, that
all might believe through him. He
was not the light, but came that he
might bear witness Of the light.
There was the true light, even the
light which lighteth every man, COM
ing into the world. He was in the
world, and the world was made by
Him, and the world knew Him not.
Here are we plainly told of the mis-
sion of John the Baptist, that he
was sent as a herald to prepare men
for the reception of the Christ, who
had sprung, not from Adam, or
Abraham, or John the Baptist, but
from the eternal being of God, and
that He would show men the way of
Life.
He came unto His own, and His
own received Him not. But as many
as received Him, to them He gave
the right to become the children of
God, even to them which believe on
His name: which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the word became flesh, and
dwelt among US land we beheld His
glory, glory as the only begotten
from the Father), full Of grace and
truth"
In these closing lessons of the
lesson, St. John tells Of the general
rejection Of Christ by His own peo-
pie; the way men become true child
rem Of God which is by being born Of
God into Fellowship with His Son.
He then gives one Of the NOSE speci-
fic statements Of the Incarnation
doctrine found in the scriptures.
The word became flesh and dwelt
among Us. If this is not God reveal
ing Himself, what is God? What
loftier conception Of God could any
one speak for? What worthy concep-
ton Of God is there not satisfied in
these eight words, and the Word be-
came flesh and dwelt among rs.
What do we need in God, or suppose
to be in God, or anticipate from
God, which we have not in Christ?
Nothing can vex the devil more i
Thar ths name Of Hin whom. We
adore. ie
Therefore doth it~dlligAf me best
To stand in the choir among the
rest,
With the great organ trumpeting,
Through its metallic rumpheting,
ct verbum caro- factum est!
These words the devil cannot en-
dure,
For he knoweth their meaning well!
Him they trouble and repel,
Us they comfort and allure;
And happy it were, if our delight
Were as great as his alright"
