game of base ball. Nor is it right to
condemn the game because some one
on the side may make 1t the occasion
for gambling.
A great many good people, church
members, see no wrong in Sunday base
ball, where il is no violation of the law.
1t then becomes a matter of conscience
and all must be dealt with fairly and
respectfully. Those who favor the
Sunday game are entitled to all that
truth and right will allow. But to
many people, perhaps a majority of
church members, to play or even at
tend a Sunday game is wrong, is an
actual sin. This because TO do so
would violate their own conscience.
ITO him that esteemeth a thing to be
unclean, to him it is unclean," will
apply as well as to eating meats offer
ed to idols.
Simply playing base ball is neither
wrong nor sinful. But playing or at
tending game on Sunday, the Lords
Day, is a very different matter. Can a
Christian afford to so use the Lords
Day? Can a church afford to take any
other attitude than one of opposition
TO Sunday ball? Can even moral
man, not a professed Christian, afford
to take such a stand as will cast his
influence on the wrong side? Is there
not a question of moral right and
wrong involved, especially if we con-
slider the day as Holy Day, rather
than a holiday? 1t is no argument to
say that other things are as bad or
worse. That is simply begging the
question. W. r. McEwen.

The Church and Sunday Base
Ball

What fhall be the attitude of the
church toward Sunday base ball, is a
pertinent question. Especially in all
the border counties. OF course all law
abiding citizens will neither violate, nor
encourage the violation of our state
laws. But what about games across
the line where it is no violation Of
written law?
II is not sufficient to say, dogmati-
cally, that Sunday base BAN is wrong
apd that the church can take but one
possible attitude toward it. In itself
the game is neither harmful nor sin
full, nor is there anything wrong in
playing or promoting a good clean
