Universal Bible Sunday finds us
studying an appropriate lesson, for Rome
was then the world capital, more than
washington is today. Paul's ambition
to 20 to Rome was due to Its tren1en-
dous influence upon the history of the
world. Into It's diversified life and uni
versal interests had drifted people from
all lands. They carried their vices and
national prejudices into the capital of
the empire, so that wealth, prof1igacy
and poverty were dangerously mixed In
the political and social life of Rome.
It's spiritual needs appealed to Paul'ss
passion for souls. His missionary heart
strategic Importance 1t occupied with
reference to winning the world for
Christ.
When the apostle reached Rome in
all probability the most remarkable
man that ever entered its gates had
arrived Although he entered the city
as q prisoner and was unannounced, yet
there was entering the city greater
conQueror than any of the illustrious
warriors who had been welcomed by
Rome In all its history Nero may have
been ignorant Of his coming, and If he
did know anything about his arrival,
probably would consider that he was
only another one to be added to the
multitude of Jews who occupied Sec
ton of the city beyond the Tiber.
Nevertheless, Paul, who had arrived as
a prisoner and not as the apostle had
hoped, was destined under divine in
Spiration by his life and labor to over
turn not only the ancient classical reli-
glons Of the Roman empire, but the
very throne and empire itself. He en-
tered as a prisoner Of Jesus Christ,
after an adventurous trip, destined to
reveal the possibilities OF chained lives
and hands in the service Of the Lord
Jesus.
An Adventurous Trip.
When we turn to follow in the mar
rative of acts the adventurous trip that
Paul made by sea on his way to Rome,
we are following story of Paul's ex-
periences that was In all probability
prepared as a part Of Paul's legal de-
Tense before Caesars judges. This
story OF sea voyages, storm and ship
wreck recorded by Luke has been SUBJ
jected to the most minute, searching
and scientific examination, and it has
been demonstrated beyond controversy
that it must have been written by an
eyewitness and that every detail of it
is absolutely correct The
storm, the direction of the wind, the
course of the ship, the currents and
tides the handling of the ship, the
Anal wreck, and the very landing place
of the crew and passengers on the
northeast coast of the Island of Malta
have all been identified" The accu-
racy of Luke as a historian is recog-
nized by scholars. even those of a skep-
tical attitude. It should increase our
faith in the authority Of the Sacred
Scriptures.

covered the church with heavy roof

timbers. An old copper bell, cast in
1850, hangs In the rude belfry. Inside
the church, with other interesting
relics, q number of paintings of re-
ligious subjects are still preserved,
some of them containing holes made by
the arrows of the Indians in the olden

they built it.; and so that it may be
secure against attack by the Indians,
they built the walls of a thickness that

MAJOR LEAGUE DRAMA IS
 DONE FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Waite Hoyt Wins His 22nd Game for Yankees and Bonups of 5000 by Beating Tigers-Athletics Are Thrown For Loss by White Sox-Senators Score Victory Over Browns-Cards Drop Easy Game to Giants-Cubs Take Reds Into Camp.

By ths Associated Prese.
 The major league drama is done for another season but the Yankees and the Cardinals still have an epilogue to offer. They meet in the worlds series starting at New York on Thursday and ending when one team has won four games.
 With both pennant campaigns al ready decided. there was not much to interest the baseball fan in yes terdays closing engagements Most of the games faithful stayed away in large numbers some Of them, no doubt, resting up for the excitement that is to come later this week.
 With . s:.0o0 bonus as incentive. Waite Hoyt. right handed lce of Mil Ter Huggins' Tanks. pitched the American league champions to : to 6 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Goyt had been promised two grand' as they say in the very best pugilistic circles. if he won 22 games this year. He was cuffed about rath- CT freely by the Tigers but won his reward with the aid of Babe Ruth's b4th and Lou Gehrig's. 27th home runs. Already badly crippled. the Yankees narrowly escaped losing 0ehrig's services for the world 5 series when the big first baseman Nn truck in the face by bated bali ball tn the 7th, He collapsed but re- covered sufficiently 10 walk off the Aeld.
 The Philadelphia Athletics finished the season two and half games back of the Tanks when they were thrown for a loss by the Chicago White Sox in general and Bob Wei land. . rookie pitcher from the Mis- stssippt Valley league, in particular. Weiland held the As 10 seven hits and famed nine men,. The Sox hcored the only run of the game in t6e seventh when kamnI singled home Reynolds from second base.
 Goose Goslin's homer with two o, jn the fifth was the high spot of Washington's 9 10 victory over the N: Louis Browns.
 The Boston He'd Sex romped to an easy I to win over the cleveland Indians, Phil Todt getting home rul. and three singles.
 The St. Louis Cardinals. their sec end National league championship tucked away. did little but go through the motions ut the Polo Grounds lRd lest to the runn.r-up Giants. { to 7. Karl HubbeiI and Fred i'ranlihouse allowed only six hits apiece but two Of the blows off the Cardinal hurlcr were home runs b$ O'f'arrell and O'DouI. The Giants thus finished the season two full games behind the champions.
 The Chicago Cubs in third place. took the Cincinnati Reds into camp. s.to l. behind .ool pitching by Percy Jones.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers. although no higher than siH.h place, ended tho season with one nore victory than defeats when the Ph;llics were met and. conquered. s to ]. It was the, first time since 1o24 that the Dodgers have finished with a per- centags of .50u or better.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates, cham plonsl ot the league last year but no better than fourth place holders in 1928. and the Boston Bravcs com pactcd their schedules on Saturday.

with his second. Manning was short the green in two. He came out nice ly but Hart took the hole with the regulation two butts to become four up.
 He increased his lead to five after Manning failed 10 get out of trap picked up. Then Hart saved a hole by laying a stymie which Manning did not get around. The 3oth hole was halved in fives
 The short 3ist hole was halved with threes and Hart was five mp and five to play. X win or a tie would win the match and championship for Hart on the next hole. From the back tee the outlook ahead was bright or dark depending upon which contestant viewed the narrow opening to the fairway. "Martha's Vineyard to, the left and the gallery lined up 10 the right sS yards away futtered the flag which would bo low cred for the butts and that
 
 might wave for the victor.
 The spectators could not see the tee but they heard crack as wood met ball and Hart's drive sailed down to the 200 yard mark. There was another crack but this time . ball had hit wood. Manning's tee shot crashed into tree and glanced off out of bounds over the Vine yard" The gallery sighed in sympa- thy for the game golfer who saw his last chance to keep in the running SO aglimmering.
 But he fought it out to the pin and just missed getting a long putt to halve the hole in five. Two good golfers shook hands over the hole. One had been able to keep on top of his game to the end of the rounds while the other was below the stan- ,dard of his golfing ability.
 By his record during this tourna- ment and especially in the finals yes- terday Ted Hart has placed himself we'll toward the front of the ranking players of Shuttle Meadow. He has demonstrated that he can play stead ily whether ahead or behind and turn in scores in the 70s. He will be a hard man for aspiring champions to beat in the future. now that he has his name on that platter.

CARDS ARE PAV0RITES
Betting Odds Are on St. Louis Team Due to the Fact That Yankee Players Are Injured.

New York, Oct. 1 (uP)-Betting odds, favoring the St. Louis Cardi- nals to defeat the New York Yam kees in the world series, have heightened rapidly since the two major league pennant races were decided.
 The original odds offered by New York gamblers were 6 to 5 on the National league champions. Over night these went out sharply to ' to 5 and then to 10 to :. even be- fore a majority of the sporting gentry had heard about the injury to Lou Gehrig. who is bringing back a badly swollen face as the result of an encounter with a batted ball in Detroit.
 The odds are to { on the C3rdi- nals 10 win the opening game. but l2 10 against the National league club winning the first two games of the series.
