CHAPTER XIX.
The Blow Falls.

Why didn't Billy return? He'd been
gone long enough for three trips, if
nothing happened to him. And was
really worrying on that score when
a messenger appeared with scrawled
note:
Can't see you before night. Things very
serious here. Mrs. ID. wants me to stay
and keep guard till son gets home. Going
after my buds now. May need You before
the day is over. If SO. will telegraph.

A Crown That Is Eternal.

Blessed is the man who can say,
Thou, 0 Lord, art my glory" We all
fall short of the glory we had hoped
for Circumstances defeat our pur-
poses. We flee before the enemies
of our souls which attack us on every
side. The only glory of any account
is that which God gives. The light
of his countenance eclipses all the
dazzling tinsel of worldly fame. HUI
man glory is uncertain at the best.
The crown that man can give, man
can take away. The crown which
God gives is an eternal one. There
was no outward evidence of glory
about st. Paul when he was a pris-
oner in Rome, but he knew that God
had laid up for him "a crown of
righteousness"

TRUSTING in God.

1t was in divinest pity for those who
have missed many things in life that
Jesus said, "Seek We first the kingdom
of God, and his righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto you."
He knew the tragedies of the souls of
men, knew how the soul could be lost
in the strong and urgent pressure of
the demands of the body. He bids
men Scust to God to provide what they
need for the body, and give their anx-
icty and strength to the doing of his
will. Let is trust our father, for HE
IS faithful who hath promised"

Not a New Discovery.

Mollie and Jim were mapping one
hot Sunday afternoon and were de-
lighted upon waking up to find re-
freshments awaiting them-a canta-
loupe cut in halves and filled with
ice. Warm-hearted Jim ran off to hug
mother but Mollie lost no time in de-
volring hers, and succeeded in scoop
ing out good bit of Jjm's before his
return, while Miss Ophelia," their
water spaniel, had slyly dislodged
Jim's gum from where he had stuck 1t

ter; but, if it is really good news TO
you, then speak of it in the same joy
full, hearty way in which you would
bring any other glad tidings.
The president of one of our largest
theological seminaries was led to
Christ in this way. During his college
course, SIS he came out of the recita-
ton one day, classmate gave him a
slap on the back and said: "Say, Gus,
wish you were Christian" Gus
made no reply and the matter was
dropped; but years afterward he told
his friend that it was that remark
which led him to accept Christ as his
Saviour. The hearty and natural way
in which his companion spoke made
him feel that he was missing some
thing that he could not afford to lose
Talking About Religion.
Christian conversation seems ito be
almost lost art in some quarters
How seldom does one hear the subject
preached in public places like draw
ing-room or at dinner party even
when all the people present are pro.
Tossing Christians Riding in the cars
with a stranger one day opened the
subject of religion. After while he
admitted that he was member of a
church.
eff this is the case," / said, "why
didn't you talk to me like Christian
and not compel me to work so long
to find out your position?
people don't do that down our
way" said he. eff I should speak to
man who came into my store on the
subject of religion, what do you sup
pose he would think Of me?"
''He would probably think you were
a Christian" / replied.
"Well, no one talks about religion
down our way. not even the ministers.
We never hear from them on the sub
ject except from the pulpit"
A Cause of Doubt.
That Christians do not talk more
about the things of the Kingdom is
constant surprise to the unsaved and
often an occasion of doubt. Said a
skeptical lady to friend of nine: II

Forty ladies were present and every
one church member except myself.
/ was there three hours. We talked
of everything down to- crazy patch
work, but not word about Jesus; /
cannot believe that they see in Jesus
Christ any such beauty or power as
you speak of. am convinced that
there is great deal Of sham in the
profession of Christian people,"
On the other hand, how refreshing it
is to meet those whosare evidently in
the condition of Peter and John, who
said: "We cannot but speak the
things which we have seen and heard"
How much might be accomplished by
each of us if our hearts we're warm
and glowing with love to Christ and
our minds on the alert to improve
every opportunity that God sets before
us!

How to DO II Successfully.

That 1t requires tact and skill to
carry on religious conversation sue
cessfully no one can deny, but is it not
worth while to study the art until we
become proficient in II? If we follow
Paul's advice to the Colossians we
shall always have something to say !:
''Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom" If we begin
each day with David's prayer, "Let the
words of my mouth and the medita-
ton of my heart be acceptable in thy
sight, o Lord, MY strength and my re-
deemer," we shall keep in touch with
God. And if we watch for souls as
those that must give an account, we
shall have opportunities enough SO
that in short time we shall find
Christian conversation a real pleasure
to ourselves and a blessing to others.

By w. ]. Macbeth

Candidates for the chairmanship of
the National Commission will kindly
line up on the right. Garry Hermann,
who has served the Office ever since it
was created by the peace agreement Of
1908, rendered his resignation at the
annual meeting Of the Triumvirate in
act temporarily, until a successor is
chosen, but in no case will he consent
to act after the joint schedule meetings
OF the two major leagues in Chicago
on February II.
William H. Edwards, collector Of in
ternal revenue, and Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, the noted jurist of
Chicago, have been most prominently
mentioned as possible. successors to
qualified to conduct the Office. Whether
either would accept is another ques-
tion. 1t has been impossible as yet
to sound out any candidates.
Ine committees appointed by the
National and American Leagues to ad-
wise With the major league presidents
regarding new chairman have not
been able to function. Ban johnson
refused to meet with John Heydler and

National League committee refused to
entertain such slight to Col. Rupert,
who Is chairman and sole remaining
'aember OF the American Leogue COM
mittee. Rupert and Frank j. Navin
Of Detroit were named by Ban Johnson
last spring. but Navin resigned during
the Carl Mays litigation.
Herrmann's resignation is timely,
though unfortunately delayed. The

biggest characters Of the game by re-
