Ringers in church teams make church athletics
discouraging If ever the national sport should be
PLAYED fairly and squarely it certainly should be
nlayed thus by the churches. 1t is not expected
that the baseball teams made up from church or
Sunday school membership will give professional
exhibitions They, in the main, will probably play
rather Indifferent ball, but they should have a
finer cleaner more wholesome spirit than is found
in most professional teams. and the public viii
be disappointed and disgusted if this spirit is not
present. There is something about playing ringers
on a church team that is than disturbing to
a churchs standing in the, community this sort
of thing is most distinctive in its effect.

CHAPTER MIX
T,co Men and q W oman


TAROL always looked back TO that
~ evening at Crace Marriott's when
she first met Jeryis Brittou as a mile
stone in her life. II was as though this
man had awakened another side OF her
nature. for his eyes drew her compel
lingly, and she was conscious that her
cold reserve melted away under the
charm of his personality.
Always she had been able TO hide be-
hind that reserve of hers. Once she had
never wanted il otherwise. one escaped
so much by pretending not TO under
stand. and it had always been possible
to hold Nick at bay by erecting it as u
bnrricade between them.
She had hardly realized the power Of
Britton's personality until Nick called
for her that night.
His entrance into the room. sleek and
we'll groomed, had startled her. For
the first time she ceased to be sorry
for what she had done, she thought only
of the fact that because she and Nick
had murmured VOWS in the presence OF
several hundred people and n minister,
she was bound to him. he had the right
to carry her off unless she wanted TO
make scene and refuse to go. And
Carol was still too bound by the con :
yentions to do anything like that.
She was the first to make the move
to go, lest Nick assert this authority
of his, and her careless good -by had
included every one .Jervis Britton re =

Carol had meant nothing to her, she
would have been effusive in her good by,
and instead she had avoided him.

Grace had said lnerrily. Nick, I sup

Nick's ewes met Jcryis Britton's and
the look on both sides wa. one of an
praisal. In Nick's was an unspoken
question which II nut into words might

Mr.. Morris was a poet. That ts, he

Mathematical Ability
If you were hiring a boOkkceper you
would want to get one to whom mathe-
mntirs came easily, wouldn't you? One
to whom mathematics is, so to speak
second nature? But It does not follow
that the man who is we'll grounded in
mathematics, and who Is able upon oc-
Casions to pass severe tests in one or
more Of it's branches. Is necessarily one
who can live with mathematics eight or
more hours q day, year in and year
out. and be happy Mt il.
If you want TO know whether mathe-
mates and the man or woman to whom
you are talking mix well. look straight
into his or her face. If your subject Is
natural born mathematician, there is
good development Of the skull back
of the external angle Of the eye. below
the eyebrows. 1t gives n souarcne.ss and
q width to that part Of the face.
4 good development Of the brain
under this part Of the skull is essential
to all the processes Of mental Calcula-
ton. The person who has it is the one
who can add up 4 column of figures un-
hcsitatingly and with confidence. 1t is
the faculty principally of arithmetic.
For in the higher forms Of mathematics
other faculties, having To do with reason
and logic. also are involved.

and in his public services of these last
few years his example has been chal-

opportunities like his TO take their
patriotism as seriously 0s they take
their business.
r WAS walking through the forest not
L long ago with a man who has the
quickest eyes for detecting living move
ments in the leaves and along the
ground that ever knew. He saw
dozen live things in the woods peeTtng
nt MS with their little bright eyes and
whisking silently of to some secret
covert before we came abreast of them.
but l knew that he was right when he
said that he probably caught sight OF
only n tenth of all the little live things
about us.
Sometimes I think We hustle and
hustle through our days. and get on
and off trains and cars, brush through
revolving doors. transact business NJ
counters, come in and go out Of board
and business meetings, hurry along the
streets and see about as much or the
humans in our path as We do OF the little
creatures in the woods, and remain a.
sOlemnly unaware of what they see IN
us TO hide from cautiously or as cau-
tiously investigate, as though they we're
80 many squirrels and birds and field
mice and cottontails.
.iJTHE truth Of the matter is that oil
i Of life is so a part. OF each man
story that It is impossible TO say what
episode Is important TO the plot and
what is not until you know the plot.
and no human Can guess his own plot
until death writes ''finis' under his
life. So II Is best not to scamp any
Of the details. but to live rs though
each act might proIe 10 be the last and
rest.
Be careful what tune you whistle as
you go past the seemingly sleeping
streets of houses in the night. Your
tune. merry or sad, full Of old memories
or Of modern and careless echoes. shrills
up into rooms where people are thinking
thousand thoughts that you can cross
section with a single phrase of melody.
Which is only saying in common
English what Browning said for all time
IN his "Pippa Passes"
Pippa's song:
Gods puppets, best and worst
Are we there is no last nor first
Say not a small event / Why small ?
Costs it more pain than this ye call
4 great event? Untwine me from
the mass
OF deeds which make up life, one deed
Power shall fall short in or exceed. :"
A Nd there is an even better way Of
~ saying it, q truth for all eternity :
but God chose the foolish things Of
the world, that he might put 70 shame
them that are wise lin their own con =
ceitl. and God chose the weak things in
the world, that he might put to shame
the things that are strong. and the base
things, the things that are despised, did
God choose. yea the things that are not,
that he might bring to raught the things
that are. that no flesh should glory be-

"Lifs is like walking along a crowded
street; there always seem to be fewer
obstacles to getting along on the op-

over, matters are rarely mended."
How fortunate are the people with
the habit of looking before they leap,
who then have the power Of seeing the
advantages of the side they have chosen
Of standing by their bargain, of liking
what they have. How much energy
they save, how much irritation they
