Job 81 :5-l4

his voice; great things doeth no.
which we cannot comprehend.
For he saith to the snow, BE thou

strength.
He sealeth up the hand of every
man; that all men may know ms
work.
Then the beasts go into dens' ana

Out of the south cometh the wnirl-

BY the breath of God frost is given;
and the breadth of the waters "

Also by watering he wearleth ene

And il is turned round about by ms
counsels; that they may do whatso-
ever he commandeth them upon the

He causeth it TO come, whether TOT

TT AMERICANS did not like self

slant state OF rebellion against the
comma ndment which tells you to love
your neishbor. One OF the glories OF
this country 10 that IL Is the land or
equal opportunities. Seif-msde mea
are the product of the equality or op
portunity. America Is full OF sucn
men.
If IL were not for the possibilities
which lie In the field OF American OPP
portunity few immigrants would care
70 come here and few American-born
youths would like TO live here' The
chance 10 make ones self" Is the
American chance and it is chance
taken in lottery where there are
thousand fold more prizes than blanks
There il something which might be
said about the selfmade man which
perhaps ordinarily Is not said nor even
thought about Every American who
amounts to anything is self-made
man. Some OF them are not 80 called
simply because they may have been
born TO riches, but no child born to
riches ever made anything OF himself
unless he underwent the process OF
self making.
We don't think OF men as men unless
they are worthy. II is harder at times
for boy horn TO wealth TO make any
thing OF himself than II Is for boy
born TO poverty. In one case the In
-centive To effort is absent. while In
the other II Is sharply present Amer
lea is full OF Incentives for the ac-
quirement OF manhood Ia all that the
word implies
II is safe enough TO say that nine
tenths or the men OF worthy lives In
America are men who have made them
selves aud their lives worthy. There Is
no royal road to manhood 1t is q
fairly easy road, however, for the man
who takes the OCCASIONAL stumble aud
the occasional hard Knock with true
American philosophy and who keeps
on unfaltering America Is land OF
opportunity. Self-made men are q
part OF It's worthy heritage.

HILLSDALE DEFEATED
College Won Fine Game from Hills
dale Last Week.

Alma continued her winning streak
Friday afternoon last, when they took
the Hillsdale college nine into camp
to the tune Of la. The game was
Alma's all the way but few OF
those errors again gave Hillsdaie
more runs that the relative merits
of the teams would allot her.
Hllsdale started the scoring in the
third inning when Cox crossed the
plate with one run. Hebert and Ven
der scored two runs for Alma in their
half of this frame.
Hillsdale added two more runs in
the seventh and again scored in the
eighth, Barley and Cox bringing the
first two and Beard the last. Alma
grabbed five runs in the sixth inning,
thus placing herself safe in the lead.
The last four runs were made in the
seventh and last frame, the game
going only seven and one-half In
nings.
Crittenden, Alma's premier hurler,
was in his old time form Friday, be-
ing menaced only when errors in the
field kept men on base. Although
hit rather freely at times the swats
were all of the scratch variety ana
taken care of by steady fielding.
