1t was a grim, determined group
Of baseball men and. reporters who
faced the judge as he announced
the postponement: <
They were a silent, muttering
group for the most part and their
number was so great that the outer
office Of the judges suite was
crowded beyond comfort.
Only a blank silence met Judge
lands words as he raised his
voice and asked:
Has anyone here seen or heard
from Risberg today?"
He repeated the question to George
Buck" Weaver, debarred team
mate of Risberg on the old 1919
Sox.
It was Weaver who confirmed
Risberg's story on Saturday with
affirmative mods as the "Swede"
declared that fund Of $1,10O had
been raised by the White Sox in
1917 to be paid Detroit players for
Throwing series to the Chicago
White Sox in September Of that

"This promised Saviour was not to
come Immediately So God instituted
a system to refresh mems minds con-
cerning Him. 1t was the sacrificial
system which was carried on every
day in the Hebrew tabernacle. Every
thing in those services typified Christ.
His work for us in heaven and upon
earth was made so clear that we can
learn much about our Saviour by
studying what was done in that taber-
nacle'
Curran then took up the various
articles in the tabernacle and the vari-
Gus sacrifices and showed how each
represented Christ. For instance, the
table of shewbread represented Christ
as the bread Of (John 6:5l-53), and
the lambs that were brought as sin
offerings represented Christ "the lamb
slain from the foundation of the
world" Revelation 1879. OF special
interest was the explanation Of how
the day of atonement represented the
work of Christ on the final Judgment
day when the books of records are
closed in heaven.
The next two lectures will continue
the study of the Judgment. The one
for tonight is entitled THE Famous
23OO Years.; the one for Monday

REVIVAL MEET
ATTRACTS MANY
TO ADVENTISTS

The attendance and interest at the
evangelistic lectures now being given
at the Seventh-Day Adventist church
continues to grow. The church has
been so full each evening for the past
te ndays that it has been necessary
to secure extra seats. The lectures are
being given by Evangelist H. A. Cur
ran of California, and Singing Evan
gelist Frank A. Moran of Texas. Cur
ran is now acting as pastor of the
church here.
Last night special program for
children was conducted before the
lecture. There were songs, stereopti-
con pictures and special music.
In his lecture, Evangelist Curran
discussed the plan of salvation as it
operated before Christ came to the
earth. He said, "Law is the founda-
ton of Gods throne. Those who
broke Gods laws in Old Testament
times were sinners and needed a
Saviour Just as much as we do now.
The way of salvation has been the
same through all the ages and it be-
gan to operate as soon as sin entered
the world The Lord promised a
Saviour when He talked with Adam
and Eve in the Garden Of Eden after
they had sinned. Genesis 3:15.
