The bowler who knocks iem dead
in one match and flops in the next
is not nearly as much to be desired
as the chap who gets his" regu-
larly. Hap BURNER, captain OF the
Convention Hall team, is an ex-
ample of the consistent performer.
He's seldom high man but it is
rare, indeed, that BURNER is low.
The inconsistency Of several Con-
vention, Hall bowlers is responsible
for this teams failure to hold its

SPARKS FROM AN =
OAKLAND PULPIT 3
THE INEXHAUSTIBLE CHRIST.

How strange that man who lived
two thousand years ago in a little
primitive community should have out
lined philosophy of life which not
only suited the crude world in which
He lived but has also proved to be
adequate for the highly civilized and
vastly different world in which we
live.
How curious that a peasant Carpen-
ter who labored at His trade in re-
mote ages should have so lived that
His life is the perfect pattern for all
other lives in all other ages.
The teachings of Christ have an
eternal quality which makes them
contemporary with every age. The
gospel of Christ has a perennial vi
tally which adapts it to revolutionary
changes of environment which sweep
all other things away. The character
of Christ has universal appeal to all
men however they may differ from
each other. The personality of Christ
transcends every human dividing line.
There is the sex line which, with
sharp cleavage, separates US into two
clearly defined groups, which are
sometimes more or less hostile to each
other, and always more or less unin-
telligible, because fundamentally diff
ferent.
And yet, strange as it may seem,
both man and woman find in Christ a
perfect ideal and example. Women
find in Him incompatible gentleness,
sympathy, fine discernment, exquisite
beauty of character. Men are at
tracted by His strength, His courage,
His unfiinching, unfaltering carrying
through of a program that meant tor
ture and death by the fiery blaze of
righteous indignation that could flash
at times from His eyes and cause the
robbers in the temple to tremble and
flee from His presence.
There is the sex line; and more seri-
GUS still the color line, the line which
divides mankind into races-white,
black, yellow.
We are told that these races origi-
nally came from the same source. But
millenia of years ago they sepa-
ated: one went east, one west, one
south. During the long subsequent
ages each race, reacting to a different
environment, developed a peculiar
character of it's own. Until, in these
latter days, when they are brought
into contact, they cannot understand
each others ways, nor adjust them
selves to each others idiosyncrasies,
and we have the race problem-the
most ominous cloud that darkens the
future of the world.
But there is one ray of hope break
ing through this dark cloud. In spite
of the apparently unbridgable chasm
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1928-08-30

that yawns between them, these an
tagonistic races find in Christ COM
mon meeting ground. Such is the uni
versal quality of the Masters person.
atty that men everywhere, of what
ever race or language or age or tenn
permanent, when brought face to face
with Him, bow in reverence, acknowl-
edge in Him their ideal, and find in
Him the answer to their NOSE perplex-
ing questions, the fulflment of their
deepest needs.
