"a HARD QUESTION"

AA~As
jeremiah, naturally sensitive
and retiring, was a man of God.
Forty-two years he maintained
the cause of righteousness among
a rebellious people. His bravery
reached the heights of chivalry;
he made nc compromises, shrank
from no daR2ers, nor could
threats ever silence him. Willie
Jehoiakim threw his prophetic
roll into the fire and his own life
| was endangered, he was faithful
in delivering the messages of God,
advised and reproved the people,
and stadfastly maintained the
cause of truth until he died. But
the people all turned against him
and his life was full of Affections,
threats and prosecutions.
WHY? Listen, MANY are the
affections of the righteous, but
the Lord delivereth them out of
them ALL"
1t is when the the waves and
stormy pillows of sore trials, bit
ter disappointments, heavy bur-
dens and losses roll over us that
we seek the face of our Father.
1.-THE clouds dispense, the shad-
ows fly.
The invisible appear in sight,
And God is seen by mortal eye"
But WHY? The question will
not down. He was a man of God.
l knew him when in the heights
of prosperity. Indeed he was a
living Epistle of God. A more
conscientious man l never knew.
He was a strict sabatarian. He
would not even polish his shoes
on the Sabbath. He was a thor
ough going business man, but he
would never board the morning
train without first going to his
family altar with his little fam
lily. l was told when he boarded
the train, he made his steps with
prayer for safety, guidance and
d~eliverance from Unseen dangers.
After the week of strenuous Ia
bors in the business world, Sat
urday nights were his %preparato-
ry hours for a Christian Sabbath.
But in the face of all his God
blessed prosperity this man of
God lived to see all his wealth
taken from him. The wolf came
and entered the door and took
all. He tried to stem the current
in an honest way, but in vain.
Thus this man of God so emf
nently devoted and jealous for
the cause of righteousness, fell
from the heights of prosperity to
the depths of adversely. Did he
lose his hold on God? Nay!
Neither did God lose His hold on
him. His language was likened
unto the language of Job-"Tho'
He Stay me, yet will I trust Him,
for l know my Redeemer liveth."
He fell to the deepest depths,
but the everlasting arms We're
beneath him and the fall landed
at the gates of glory. Re-
to the terrible experience
of modification and humiliation
that FASTENED him toward the
hour of departure, he said to me,
1T must be all right" for he
said there were times when bust
cares so possessed and abb
his thoughts that the only
way he could keep in touch with
God vas to get down and pause
md offer the Lords prayer, and
1t may be my Father saw that
ny mind was getting too far
way from Him."
But WHY? Listen! AS many

Relations between the veteran
pitcher and the new manager be-
came strained, Alexander did not
pay strict attention to discipline
and Mccarthy asked for waivers.
We were lucky that we were far
enough down in the race to land
him. You know the team lowest

player offered for the waiver price
and 1t 30 happened that Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati were both ahead Of
us at the time. Other clubs in
the league did not have enough
chance at the pennant to make it
worth their while to assume
Alexis contract and so we landed
him.
Alexander has taken good care of
himself and has been an important
factor in our success. He has
helped our pitchers. He has volun.
teered to pitch out of turn. He
went to the hill in Cincinnati right
after the Reds had won two
straight and taken the lead. Aleck
beat the Reds that Sunday after

Yes, Alexander certainly helped
us to win the pennant. And it was
a good break for us when Joe

need any advice or help from the

The task is not hopeless; far
from it. Though Yirginia's work
last Saturday was erratic in the
extreme, at times the Orange and

will be to key the team up to go
through an hour Of action at high
speed.
Virginia gained 1876 yards and
nine first downs to So yards and
three first downs made by Hdmp-

visitors held when the Virginians
needed yardage to score.
