IN WORLD CRISIS
THROUGH FAITH
Deey Declares MateriaIiSm
Today Is Defeated by
Gods Religion,

DECLARING that Jesus Christ is at
the helm of the ship Uhe church, and
We know that we shall emerge from
The turbulent waters in safety with
our God" Rev Albert V. Deery of ST.
GATHERINGS Church, Sunday preached
on The Holy Eucharist and the
World Crisis"
Rev. Deery said in part:
When we read in history Of that
African Bishop, Athanasius, who
knelt on the road. took from his
bosom the pyx containing the Blessed
Sacrament, strengthened himself ere
his pursuers could fall upon him. he
did an elementary thing which the
church has done in every crisis. He
was simply doing over again what had
been done; he was doing what the
church would do. namely turning TO
that bread from heaven which the
master had given for the life OF the
world
The faithful at the dawn Of Chris
tianity realized full well that they
might be called upon at any moment.
10 deny their God or to die. Hence
they arose at daybreak. morning after
morning, to be present at the break
ing Of the bread Thus did those
three centuries OF religious persecu-
tion pass, and liberty gained for the
church; and truly was that immortal
page written which. showed that, not
by the weapons Of human forging did
the early Christians triumph. but
through that hidden strength which
came to them as they met morning
after morning to receive their God.
And In our day when society
trembles in the balance. how feebly
do men understand the meaning of
that other force which goes on, not
IN public halls or street corners, but
where pious women in their chapels,
holy priests at their affairs, devout
men. women and children at the COM
munion-rail renew their lives with the
personal contact Of Jesus Christ.
These are the forces which the world
does rot see. but these are things
that will give shape. and order TO So
ciety, when the temporary frenzy shall
have nassed away.
Shows the Need
OF Holy Communion
Without Christ. we realize that we
can do naught; if therefore. We are TO
go forth into the world as exemplary
soldiers of Christ, ready to defend God
and his Church, then we must come
to the source OF all holiness and
knowledge. to Jesus in Holy Commun-
ion. without this We are not ready
10 battle for our God, we are crippled
soldiers in the heat of the conflict. We
are not walking in the footsteps Of the
first Chrictians. Hence, we must
rally round our Eucharistic God in
this crucial hour as never before. and
hearken to His cry. Come TO Me all ye
that labor and are burdened, and I
will refresh you
IF, therefore. we are true TO our
God we will accept his loving vita
ton; holy Jmmunion will do its work
and Christ II make good his prom
ises. AS paganism and vandalism
went down to defeat, so also Will the
present day materialism; and the
wearied world will be reconstructed
by Jesus Chris through frequent
holy communion" ne said

| FOR GOLF CHAMPS
Concentration Necessary II Man
Is to Play His Best
BY ROY GROVE
NEA Service Writer.

Golf is a game of concentration.
Unlike many of the national sports
1t contains about one-third of the
physical element and the balance is
serious and consistent study.
Some of the most famous OF our
golfing champions concentrate, at
times to the extent of being aggra-
waiting to their opponents and the
SPECTATORS. The least unexpected
noise or movement on the part of
either can send such champion
into nervous prostration.
Football, baseball, boxing and many
popular sports which adhere to the
muscle may take as much deep skull
practice on the part of the athlete
but the action on the contestant is the
reverse. The roofing and yelling OF
the frenzied fans help to strengthen
the player of such more strenuous
games.
Some golfers, spotted as slow play
ers, have been known to throw their
opponents into screaming fits OF
rage simply through their careful
ness and study of certain lies and ap-
proaches. This kind of golfer gen.
orally is sure winner.
There os a certain English amateur
who is renowned for this sort of play
Ghich he works more for the psyche
logical effect on his partner. The
nerve-racking slowness eventually
wears on the mind of the opponent,
throwing him completely on his con-
centrating powers, making his next
shot in an insane, thoughtless and
hurried fashion. ..#
In the first place the tournament
golfer is handicapped with moving
gallery, dissolving and collecting
from tee to green: A gallery under
the circumstances is the best be-
haved crowd of spectators in the
world.
AS a general rule If there is any
noise of any kind around a tourna-
ment match it is made by the officials
themselves in charge of the gallery.
They are commonly recognized as
the sh-oh- officials as they stand
around the putting greens or close
to where the contestant is about to
tee off AND sh-sh the crowds in loud
sh-shs through huge megaphones.
These sh-shs are most prominent |
about the time the player IS about to
do his stuff.
On several occasions at the recent |
national open tournament at Inwood |
l., Jones, Sarazen and a few more
of the temperamental golfers, who
were working under a strain, would |
walk away from their StanCes i'm |

centrate on their game when expect
ing a couple more sh-shs to break
out ut any moment.
The concentration value is most
noted on the tee and green. Jones
on most every tee would have to
wait until the crowd stopped mavine
down the fairway, for after he had
taken his stance and then looked up
for his direction, his attention would
be directed to moving object on
the right and this would detract his
concentration ON the ball.
There is nothing more aggravating
to golfer than to have any one
standing directly III back OF the tee
as he is about to drive. This hap
pened several times to Gene Sarazen
in his match with Walter Hagen at
Rye, N. Y, and he would deliberate
ly stop at the top of his drive, the
stage where his attention had been
detracted from the pill During the
same match, just as Sarazen was
about to draw back and putt for the
hole, a camera would 60 off and at
the same time Gene would become
unraveled and turn around, walking
away to come back and measure the
distance and line up his putt all
over again.
There are few golfers whom moth
ing in the world seems to bother.
Hagen is one who can readily con-
centrate. Hutchisons concentration
is a different sort of thing. He con-
tinually jests with the crowd when
doing the rounds. Cruikshank just
smiles when he finds himself in a
bad lie and let's 1t go at that.
The contrast at Inwood was notice
able in the playoff of the tie, where
Jones would become irritable Cruik-
shank would just stand up and let
'er fly.

SUGGESTS new Plan
FOR DAVIS CUP PLAY
Captain Of French Team Says
Annual Contest Is Big Expense
BY The Associated Yres..

1 .
Boston. Aug. 15.-Athletic actiu-
ties In France in connection with the
1924 Olympic games may prevent that
country from challenging for the
Davis cup next year. according to Al
Ian H. Muir, captain and manager Of
the French Davis cup team which will
oppose Australia at Chestnut Hill on
Thursday Friday and : Saturday.
Muir discussed a proposal, which he
said was now before the International
Lawn Tennis Federation, that some
other plan than annual competition
be adopted to decide ownership of the
Davis cup, In view of the heavy ex-
pense at present entailed by challeng-
ing countries.
Winning the cup is not the whole
thing in this international SERIES"
Muir said. "Of greater importance
is the playing for the trophy. If the
field was limited to those countries
which might win the trophy there
never would be more than three or
four challenges But the object I
suppose, the donor had in mind was
to get as many countries as possible
interested.
Il do not want to give the impress
sion that money is everything in the
series, but the fact remains that the
burden of expense falls on the chal-
lengers that can least afford it. Often
time these burdens leave feeling of
bitterness. If the proposal to pool
receipts from all the matches in the
series were adopted and the money
divided among the challengers on a
mileage basis it does not follow that
a solution would be reached. 1t is
hard to obtain the services of first
class players. There are stars on the
continent who have been forced to
give up tennis this year because of
business. We do not enter the sport
so deeply as you in the United States
and 1t has become increasingly diff
cult to get the best players to COM
pete.
ION theory 1t is fine to say that
yearly competition for the Davis cup
VIII give the best available players of
the various countries a chance for ex-
perlence and travel. But we in
France think that the Coupe Davis
should stand for the highest goal in
tennis. We should avoid the possibil-
lty of cheapening the competition. We
would not want in this fashion to
make the trophy unattainable. oc-
casional concentration might offer a
.....
Regardless of whether anything
ever comes of the proposal to have
some sort of lapse in the Davis cup
series. think it should be noted that
ne innovation of splitting the chal-t
enging nations into two zones has
proved It's worth. OF the thirteen
countries drawn in the European zone
'nly Rumania defaulted, which is a
noteworthy record considering all the
ravel that was required. France has
AIRED well financially, dividing
gate OF 1000 pounds, at Dublin and
mother of $4,000 francs at Deauville
against Ireland and Spain"
