WHAT is SpORT2

In the days when Theodore was great in Con-
s'antnople the populace centered its life about the
gladtoral games. Out of the conflicts in the sandy
arena grew bitter partisanship that colored every
aspect of life As the people divided themselves
into partisans of the "greens" and the "blues" at
the games, did they classify themselves politically
and socially. Bands of young men engaged
in forays about the city for the greater glory of
their chosen color. Deadly feuds arose, and the
whole life Of the people disordered, until the
safety of Justinan and his queen was menaced.
We have gladiators today-some of them are
now engaged in the world seres-but interest is far
less intense than in that distant day Of the "blues"
and greens" The ancents took these contests more
seriously, natural since life itself often was
at stake The moderns regard their games with
nge of humor, seeming to like best of all to make
jokes about them.
One Of the ictions of this day is that every red
blooded man is immensely concerned in the outcome
of the world series. In reality it is quite possible
for to be ardent athlete or devotee of sport
and still have little more than casual interest in
these games.
This is particularly likely to be the case if one
has some outdoor hobby of his own. There are many
men who are more interested in their own golf game
than in the score at New York. Hunters may spend
more time polishing up their guns than in talking
about professional baseball. Football "horse
shoes" may genuinely interest others.
What probably is the case is that the world series
holds interest for the who is not active
in any sport than for who is. Those crowds that
fill the benches at the championship games TAX
ing their exercise by proxy By some odd twist of
thought it has been made to appear in America that
sitting cushion and shouting is in itself form
of athletics.
The spectators at the old Roman games doubt
felt very brave they turned thumbs down and
gave the signal for the stroke Of death. Just may
many of their successors feel today that they
actually participating in sporting event from the
bleachers or the boxes. However, only to the
tent that they encouraged to get out and throw
ball, catch and bat they really entitled to be
considered sportsmen.

GREATER LOVE THAN THIS HATH NO MAN

The boys called the black waters Of the aban-
doned quarry pit "bottomless,' and yet they Owed
and swan there Little Johnny Kozinie, aged 6,
good swimmer Owed and did not up. His
brother ice balanced the brink, and saw some
air bubbules come up from where Johnnie had gone
down. Gee, I'm scared to go in there said Joe,
and then he Owed after Johnnie.
An hour later the lifeless form of Joe lay on
slab at the morgue, and searchers were looking for
the little Johnnie good swimmer but victim to
the black death that waited in the cold dark water
Such dreadful tragedy seldom overtakes single
household, and only parents can picture the sorrow
in the home of those little boys. Yet through the
gloom of it all one white shaft of lovely light pierces.
Johnnie perhaps, was too young to fully realize
the danger into which he carelessly plunged, but
Joe knew the risk he taking. 1t was to save his
brother, though, and he did not hesitate. As his
father and mother mourn for him they will feel
their sorrow lighter because of the knowledge that
their little boy died brave hero as ever gave
his rfe for another. And greater love than this
hath no man, that he give his life for his brother"

ADVANCE IN ART OF BURGLING.

An eastern writer processes to see considerable
improvement in methods of the house burglar and
uses up many words in describing how what he calls
the dinner" burglar came up TO succeed the old
time workman to be in turn succeeded by the "gen-
tleman" burglar.
The dinner" burglar gains his name by reason
Of making his visits when the family is engaged in
the dining room. His advent was not highly regard
ed by the elite Of the burglarous guild who rather
frowned on the innovation let so numerous did
the dinner variety Of house prQwler become that he
ceased to excite comment among the fraternity
Reason enough exists to think the authorities also
lost interest in him, but his many victims have cause
TO regret his activity

He e=presides over the Chelsea Meth

astounded his brother pastors by

say that Richard Barthelmess is
one of my dearest friends.

night l was standing outside of a
theater after having seen a picture
in which a young woman whom ]

spoke about the young woman's
work. and one young fellow spoke
90 contemptibly of her that
turned on him and said:

back what you said or I will make
you eat your Words"
Well. what happened?" the rev.
erend gentleman was asked.

lected the incident. and with a lit
tie laugh. answered.:
why, he admitted that he knew
nothing about the young woman

her calling"

Griffith that met him and I was

It required no effort on my part
to believe that here was a young
man who lived clean, thought
clean, not because he was afraid
that the merciless lens or the
camera would portray any de-
ficiency, but because he believed

law Of nature.
Lillian Gish has spoken twice
from my pulpit and I wish all
could have heard the sweet mes

her Christian training that she
gave. Mr.. Griffith has also spoken

one will be Mr.. Barthelmess.
