Editorial

Editorial
Ofttimes our physical or
mental being undergoes a
serious shaking up which
may approach a catas-
trophe, and which we may
not be able 20 comprehend.
But as we recover from
the upset" we begin TO see
the reason and the useful
ness OF the awakening.
The World War was
necessary to bring to our
attention the fact that God
intended ALL men, women
and children OF the earth to
enjoy health, LIBERTY
and happiness.
1t was necessary to
drench the world with
blood for the conception of
a League of Nations that
would give the weaker peo-~
pies a sense OF security
from invasion and injustice
which has been the order
since civilization began.
Yes, we need severe
shaking up now and then.
Just now the Victory
Liberty Bond is shaking us
to a sense of cur obiiCa-
tions.

Morrison hasn't pitched a bad game of ball since he got his bearings, and the youngster appears to be the best on Mo teams say Merry has the widest curve of any hurler in the league. and if he doesn't go to the big league at the end O. this season we'll be badly surprised.
 Gentlemen, that was some ball game in Chattanooga yesterday. A 2S-inning game is, of course, league record, and all them are remarkable is the perform ance of Roberts and Marshall in sticking through the entire route. Still more sur- prising is the feat of Rube Marshall ii not walking a man in g innings.
 The report from Chattanooga says Grif- fir was guilty of gross discourtesy in reaching over the plate and hitting a pitch-out safely. Of course. the stunt is rarely pulled. but it is perfectly justifia- ble from our viewpoint
 Lucy Hairston won that ball game yesterday and don't forget that, boys. It was 'Lucy's' timely bingle that drove home the only counter of the afternoon A hit in the pinch is worth two in the bush 0eagues).
 Big Moon" Ducote is back in the line up for the Mobile Bears. but the Peli- cans trounced them yesterday. Buck Weaver is Dobbs' star hurler and he's liable to beat any of em.
 The three leading teams in the Ameri- can league lost yesterday.
 'Slim" Sallee beat Causey of the Giants

after the latter's winning. streak had reached eight games.
 Sigman has not pitched in sometime now and Moley may work him.
 Billy Webb will appear in the lineup when the team gets back here Monday.
 Don't forget the Barons open here with Chattanooga and stay at Redwood for 2 games.
 Although Little Rock won and Nash vile lost yesterday. there's still only Sh games difference between the league leaders and the cellar occupants in the Southern.
 Gooch will be cast adrift immediately, as Webb's reinstatement brings the Barons up to the player limit without him.
 And big Peters got his bingle yester- day, even though they were scarce as hens teeth in that Nashville game Pete hits any of 'em now days
 Billy Southworth after hitting safely in IS consecutive games. failed to bingle yesterday.
 Walter Johnson. after bad start, has at last gotten into his stride.
 The Brooklyn trolley dodgers kept up their losing streak yesterday.
 The Barons have won 4 and lost in the present road trip. Not so bad after all especially if we get even break or bet. ter in the next pair of contests.

"The Valley of Vision,"
 Dr. Van Dykes New Book
Reviewed by Dr. Preston B. Wells, PastOr Highlands Methodist Church

Pastor Highlands Methodist Church. The author. Dr. Henry Van Dyke of the delightful volume entitled The Valley af Vision: A Book of Romance
 and Some Half-Told Tales (Charles Scribner's Sons. publishers), needs no
 introduction to the public.
 Few American writers are better known. and none perhaps is more ap- preciated.
 Dr. Henry Van Dyke has won his
 way into the hearts and homes of two continents
 The present volume serves to in-
 crease the force of his grip upon us. The Valley of Visionw "A strange title" you say. Yes, so it might seem
 at first sight; but the author wisely suggests that "it is in the valley of suffering. endurance and self-sacrifice that the deepest visions of the mean ing of life come to us"
 Romance. and 'Haf-Told Tales mere sketches grave and gay; SO sions of the volume. All of them ex- cept the final story, were written since the beginning of the war of 1914.
 The volume might be termed col lection of war portraits. with qua mt and striking framing The sketches are those of master. Each chapter is literary gem. The events of the recent years have. not called forth a more delightful treatise.
 Speaking of the scenes of the last past years, pr. Van Dyke adds this strong and inspiring word: 1T take the outcome of this twentieth century war as a victory over the mad illusion of world dominion which the Germans saw from the peak of their military power in 1914. The united force of the allies has grown, through valley visions of right and justice and hu- man kindness into an irresistible might before which the German will to power has gone down in ruin"
 '-rhe Valley of Vision is worthy of a place in each library It Is caicu- lated to enrich both mind and heart.
