The seven former members Of the
Chicago White Sox ball team and two
alleged accompnces who were charged
with conspiring to throw games In the
worlds series Of 1919. have been &C.
Quilted by q Chicago jury, apparently
because the jurors did not think the
specific intent to defraud the public
and the baseball owners was estab-
lished by the prosecution. At once
the question arose whether Or not the
players should be reinstated In or.
ganized baseball. Judge Lands, high
commissioner Of baseball. replied
promptly and decisively that mo play.

throw ball game, no player who sits
in a conference with q bunch Of crook
ed players and gamblers where the
ways and means Of throwing games
are planned and does not promptly
tell his club about 1t will ever play

As to the moral guilt Of the accused
ball players, the American public has
had little or no doubt, and Its belief
will not be altered by the verdict Of
the jury which probably was made
necessary by the technicalities Of the
law.

gion scarcely as many as one
hundred Christians. And the

vast majority Of these towns were
not only unevangelized but had
scarcely heard the first word Of
the gospel. T e harvest, the
harvest, how shall I depict it?
To what can I compare it? This
sea of humanity, this ocean Of
lost souls, who can fathom it?
Where are the laborers? Who is
crying to the Lord of the harvest
for them? Who is saying Here
I am; send me?" Don't let US
push this aside and say It is none
of our affair. Are you a Chris.
tian? Are you saved? Then you
have a part. Come if you can.
You can do nothing greater for
the Master who died for you.
If you can't come then do what
you can to send others. II am
not able," some one may say. II
have no money and no way of
making it." Then pray! Pray
now for the Lord of the harvest
for those now in the field. God
forgive US for excuses, for not
having a part in this harvest. O.,
if we really want a part God will
give it to US. Try and see if he
will not, and new springs of joy
will break out in your life. There
is nothing on earth like having a
part in saving lost souls. 1t is
by no means all smooth sailing
with the Christians, for they are
just fallen human beings likeour.
selves, and have their weakness
es from within and trials and
prosecutions and temptations
from without. Our hearts ache
for them at times we see what
they have to meet. When we
think of their environment and
of the pit from whence they
have been digged" we marvel
that any of them stand against
the forces of darkness about
them. They need our prayers
more than we think. In one
town where we had a few Chris.
tians a dear old Christian woman
IS or more years old, seemed a..
most driven to the wall by false
theories, ridicule and persecution
After talking with her a while
and having prayer with her and
her son and a few others We tei,

But | must cut short my story
of this trip because my journey
was cut short and my plans bro
ken into. Brother Abernathy
came for me and found me forty
six miles away from home.
My wife had suddenly fallen very
ill with plurisy. I took Brother
Abernethy's bicycle and rode ia
the day after he arrived. 1t was &
long 46 miles to me, and l was
tired enough when I arrived a,
home, for l had not ridden q
wheel for over twelve years. But
Twas glad to be at home by my
wife's side, doing what l could
to comfort and help. After about
a week the pleurisy began tt
break up, but pneumonia devel
oped and my wife has now beer
in bed three weeks. We are tru
ly thankful that the crisis has
past and she is on the road to re
covery, but she is still in bed ant
very weak, and it will be man,
days before she is strong agail
maybe until the end of the
summer.
