THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

companion and her influence over her
household to accept Jesus as their
Lord. Paul had not gone to Europe
to introduce a new civilization or be-
come the molder of empires He had
obeyed the call for service and the re-
suit followed. The vessel that car
ried him was much different from
those that are carrying our men to
Europe to preserve human liberty,
which Christianity introduced by
Paurs preaching into Europe. They,
too. are responding to the call OF
humanity and the need for service.
The jailer's experience in commenc-
ing the new life differed radically
from the others. Paul. whose ministry
of helpfulness had saved young
woman from being a subject of profit
to her owners, had been imprisoned
upon a trumped-up charge Of disturb
ing the public peace and of sedition
in introducing an unlawful religion:
The Roman officials had been swayed
by the clamor of the mob and. with
out inquiring concerning Paurs citi-
zenship, had ordered the two preoch-
Gods grace sustained them SO that
Paul and Silas filed the prison with
their songs and prayers. rejoicing
that God had counted them worthy to
suffer for His glory. The prison au-
thorities. as we'll as the prisoners.
wondered at such religion that
caused men to sing in trouble. When
suddenly the earth trembled and the
prison doors were opened the jailer
was aroused from his slumbers and
that the prisoners had fed. il Paul
had not spoken. These dramatic
events caused him to seek the way of
salvation. When he learned of the
Christ he confessed Him in baptism
and tried to prove his faith and the
1f ha h,, ,gpSv vfru
unto Paul and Silas. His home be-
came filed with great joy and hos
pitality. 1t was transformed by the
new life.
While the various classes of the be-
ginning of the new life prove that
yet. In every case there has been a
testimony Of faith and the evidence of
the new life. There are certain
periods, like the adolescent and reviv-
al, when the soul quickly responds
to the newly awakened desire for fell
lowship with God through the grace
of the Lord Jesus. The Scriptures
teach that 1t is the work Of the Holy
Spirit by which the new life is iritiat-
ed into man. Some become Christians
without the struggle, such as marks
the experience of men who have lived
a life of sin. but in every case the
preparation, which causes one to look
back and forsake the old life and
with faith look toward Christ--recog-
nize in Him the unseen realities of
the new life-is the work Of the Holy
Spirit. by the awakening of new af-
fections and the initiating Of new
character the man Is brought into
that moral union and fellowship with
Christ in which salvation consists"
The Holy Spirit adjusts His work to
the needs of the individual. and the
life of each age. seeking to make men
turn with faith to Him upon the tes-
timony that witnesses to Christs saw
ing power, SO that believing, they
might have life.

To the Editor OF Ihe star:
I noticed in a recent issue of The

that Congress contemplated any such
action when the law was passed.

securities in endowment funds. The
hospital is obliged to live ''hand-to-

Says Women Pushed Her
Through Window Of Train
in Effort to Take Chair

How she was picked up and
neary forced through the winow of
a train running at the rate of sixty
mics an hour this morn, was the
tale unfoled to Alderman E. ]. Hill
ton by Miss Esther herman, of New
York, at a hearing this morning.
Ethel Black and Clara Butler, both
of Harrisburg and colored, were
brought before the alderman on the
charge of disorderly conduct on
board train and they were charged
with attempting to throw Miss
Sherman through the window.
Miss Shermanalle ges that she
was sleeping on seat and holding
another seat facing her for a friend
who is in the Government service.
The women attempted to take her
seat and she says she let them have
one of the two chairs. But they
were not satisfied with this and de-
manded both. They picked me up
and when I resisted them they
pushed me through the window"
she charged. At this juncture, For
rest Beach, a sailor, Jersey Shore,
interfered, and with the help of
trainmen Miss herman wa srescued.
The two colored girls were taken
to the office of Alderman Hilton
and, after a hearing this morning,
were sentenced to pay the costs of
the case, tho cost of the broken win
dow and to reimburse Miss Sherman
for the loss of her pocketbook. The
entire amount of the costs is $26.50.
Miss Sherman alleges that there
was almost $S and a ticket to Pitts
burgh in her pocketbook.

Sixteeners to Hold Annual
Rally at Chester Springs

PhOenIxviIIc, Pa. July S0.-The an
nual outing of the SiXteeners' Asso-
citation, with membership of prob
ably several thousand Pennsylvanians
who were pupils of the Soldiers Or
phans' School conducted for thirty
years at Chester Springs, will be held
at the old school next Saturday.
1t is expected hundreds from all
over Pennsylvania will gather at this
one-time famous watering place, rich
in historic interest because some of
the old buildings that were preserved
up to a few years ago were used as
a hospital for Washington's soldiers
after the battle of Brandywine.
The property was acquired a year
or two ago by the Philadelphia Aca-
DENY of the Fine Arts and is now
used as a summer art colony. The
managers have, however, given the
SiXteeners the privilege of using the
grounds for their annual picnic next
Saturday.
The association bears the name Six
teeners because of the fact that at the
age of 16 the pupils were discharged
from the school. Among the Sixteen
ers is Superior Court Justice John w
Kephart.

Hill League Critic Claims
Rosewood Is the Best Team

speak of Jones the Rosewood pitcher
trying to stage a comeback, we'll he
sure did and was pitching some game
until the crowd began blocking his
support and if had been in his place
would have quit sooner. This is not
from narrow-minded Rosewood sup
porter but from one who has seen
some ball played in his time and likes
to see ball games won on their mer-
it's, not on luck or a fluke. Not so
many nights ago I saw this same
Reading team take a game from the
Galahad team in the darkness when
Galahad was the winner by a score
of to 8. Rosewood's by far the
best balanced team of the two and
has by far the best corps of pitchers,
take them out to Island Park where
they won't be hampered by specta-
tors and see If 1 am not right. I'll
wager 500 1 am right The double
umpire system used Thursday and
Friday evening which is the best sys-
tenn at all times did not prove very
satisfactory in as much as the specta-
tors crowd in around first and third
bases not giving the umpire a chance
to see the light between the runner
and the baseman. Clark umpiring at
base ir. one inning when he was safe
by at least half a yard and again at
the home plate on Euker's return of
a caught ball from the outfield. An
umpire at the plate has no business
whatever with runners on the bases
only when a man is coming from third
base to the home plate. Clark. also
called Johnson out at first base on
the old hidden ball trick when UIn-
pire Shickley was umpiring the bases
and was talking to some spectato
in an effort to get them back from
the line. Shickley never saw the
play at all and it was doubtful in my
mind whether the game was in pro-
gfess when an umpire was out. but
nevertheless it went. When an UNI
pire is constantly annoyed by the
crowd and has to keep urging them
to get back his attention is taken
from the game and he cannot do him
self nor the teams justice and If he
makes a mistake they want to ride
him to death. Umpiring at best Mr..
Spectator is not very pleasant job.

Commenting on the last game
played by Rosewood and Reading on
Friday evening, IAN enthusiastic fan"
has sent in this message. 1T is
amusing, If not laughable" says he
ITO hear different fans talk about the
better team. 1 have been q very in
terested spectator at all these games
for the past month and to see night
after night some team win a game
because of the crowding of the play
ers' field by enthusiastic friends of
some of the different teams especially
the Reading bunch. Friday evening
a large crowd perched themselves out
in right field and when the policemen
moved them from the grass plot they
stood on the paved street right in
the path of right fielder Johnson and
a fly ball was hit to him somewhere
around the fourth inning and he was
not permitted to make an easy catch
and then when G. Swartz hit another
easy put out for him, 1 think in the
sixth inning the same tactics were
used by the crowd again. and the
papers says Johnson quit the game,
but do not give the reason. To one
who reads the papers they would
figure Johnson a gutter. nothing of
the sort, he is a real ball player and
If that is the way Reading figures on
winning the pennant why it is
poor way to win it. People come out
night after night to see ball game
yet they occupy the players places
in right field, along the first and
third base lines and then expect them
to play good ball. Many a little
pop fly drops safely along the first
and third base lines that would be
easy outs il the field were clear. A
certain element of luck enters every
baseball game without the spectators
blocking up the players field. In
the very first Inning on Friday even
ing luck gave Reading her first two
runs because in covering first base
Glen Killinger fell over the bag and
when the inning was over Reading
had been presented with two runs
when the side should have been re-
tired without run. You take play
er for player of last Friday evening.
take them over at Island Park where
they won't be blocked up by specta-
tors and Rosewood will beat the
Reading team easily. The papers

BIG FELLOWS
AFTER DEMPSEY
Even Sam Langford Wants a
Chance, and Dempsey Says
He Will Meet All Corners

Dempsey's victory at the expense
of Fulton has revived interest among
the heavyweights. Just before
Dempsey's bout with Fulton his man
ager, Jack Kearns, announced that
after the Dempsey battle his protege
would be ready for Levinsky, Miske.
Morris and others, and that the col
ored line would not be drawn.
Levinsky and Langford both are out
to make an impression and expect to
win decisively in order to get a
chance with Dempsey.
Battling Levinsky, light heavy
weight champion, who boxes Harry
Greb, army and navy king tonight,
was the first to hurl a defy at 4he
rugged westerner. Sam Langford
veteran heavy, who was toppled by
Fulton in the sixth round, also is
willing to take on Dempsey.
I'm an old fellow, so they claim,
but there's no man living who can
stop me in twenty-three seconds"
smiled Black Than.
Jack Thompson also is willing to
take what he terms a crack at the
ard-hitting Jack. Harry Greb is
the only one of the big boys not
after Dempsey. Greb has not been
interviewed, but always is ready to
meet any one MS manager Signs Tor
him.
Joe Villa calls Fulton a false alarm,
and says he was scared white the
moment he stepped into the ring.
Dempsey won the fight, so called,
because he outguessed his antagonist.
Fulton evidently looked for a short
period of fight sparring which usually
begins these encounters. He thought
he could keep Dempsey off with his
long left. But Dempsey, neatly
side-stepping this blow, drove a ter
rife left into Fulton's bread basket
and then whipped the same hand,
in the form of an uppercut, to the
neck. Quick as a flash Dempsey then
swung his right with tremendous
power and perfect accuracy to the
point of the jaw.
Fulton reeled and fell on his side
near the ropes. He wasn't exactly
unconscious, but the expression on
his weak face indicated both pain
and fear. Dempsey. as cool as a
cucumber, stood ready to put his
man completely away if he managed
to arise before the count of ten,
but Fulton, seeming to writhe in
agony, remained on the floor until
there was no danger of further pun
ishment. Fulton's quick defeat was
merely a case of exploding another
phenomenon.
