KING OF SWAT
OBSERVING HIS
36TH BIRTHDAY
Bv ROSCOE SNIPEa

ST. PETERSBPRG, Fla, Feb. Z
W.D-Babe Ruth today celebrates
his 36th birthday playing golf and
awaiting the opening Of the 1890
baseball season during which he ma,
receive the largest salary ever paid
a professional athlete. Now he's q
holdout.
Seventeen Of Ruth's SO years have
been spent in the national pastime
and he admitted today that his love
for the game is greater than ever.
"You might think I'd be tired OF
it," said Ruth between practice
swings with mashie at an imagin
ary ont curve. his squinted eyes en-
visioning a distant fence and a dis
appearing ball. "But I'll admit I'd
rather go up there and take a eu,
at one and slap it over the fence
than eat"
When one considers that other
birthdays found the Babe showing
the effects Of his fondness for eat
ing, that's a strong statement and
should bring cheer to Yankee fans
who are awaiting word Of the sign
ing Of the Home Run King.
At SO. Ruth is in splendid physical
condition. apparently. He says he
is. and attributes it to golf. Incl.
dentally. the big ball player is get.
ting to be quite a nifty golfer. He
is always on the go these days, and
sometimes breaks 80.

Sunday School Lesson

sen studies; in fact, one should say
four, for one can not consider the
character and career of Samuel
without thinking of his mother,
Hannah. Deborah, the judge of Is
rael, stands as a sort of female
Moses, a married woman with a call
to tasks that went beyond her own
home and household, yet a woman
who appears in the leadership of
the nation with her real strength
in her womanly courage and vir-
tues.
In Ruth with her devotion to her
mOther-in-law; Naomi, we have a
picture of persistency and devotion
that can attach to love and gentle
ness. The story of this Moabitess
is interesting in itself, but it comes
to have great significance when we
realize that she was an ancestress
of David. and therefore of Jesus
himself, giving TO the man Of
Nazareth an inter-racial origin and
significance that is not always
recognized.
The study of Samuel is against a
background of evil conditions in
rael-drunkennesS icentiousneSS,
and corruption. Samuel displays
the qualities that one would ex-
pect from one who had been de-
voted in his mothers prayers to the
service of religion
The story Of the first king of
Israel is one of the worlds great
tragedieS-a man with a marvellous
natural endowment and with great
opportunity, throwing all away
through lack of self-control and
dying a hopeless suicide after he
had lost a battle. In contrast to
Saul was his son Jonathan, OF
whose friendship with David one
lesson has taken account.
That the outward prosperity of a
nation does not always mean real
strength or greatness is a lesson
that We could find in the life OF
many peoples. Amos, the herds
man, a farmer with interrupted
nature and clear vision, came
from the fields to denounce the
sins of the city and to remind peo-
pie that no nation could be great
that sought to build upon I'm
righteousness and injustice.
In the record of failure and cor
ruption We have one lesson that
marks righteous purpose in high
places. The story of Josiah, an
s-year-old boy, is an inspiring story
of reform.
From this We passed to one of the
supreme prophets of Israel, a man
who felt keenly his own personal
responsibility and whose message
centered around the conviction OF
duty that he himself experienced
Like Amos. jeremiah rebuked for
malism and called upon the people
to manifest their religion by right
living.

attained a climax in the study Of

represents also the very climax of
the teaching of the Old Testament
concerning God. Jonah comes be-
fore us as a narrow nationalist be-
ieving in God but unwilling that
Gods grace should be manifested
to other peoples.
When he is sent to Nineveh he
rebels against his mission, and when,
ultimately, he actually goes and his
mission succeeds and the people
turn in repentance, he is angry with
the God who spares them He mani
tests the sort Of prejudice that has
always been more or less prevalent
in our limited experience of religion
and in our sectional and narrow
organizations. The real teaching is
the teaching of the writer of the
book of John who lifts us to higher
levels of magnanimity and truth,
and reveals to us the glorious con-
ception of a God whose mercy and
grace are not limited to those Of
one race or nation.
It is the point at which the Old
Testament comes nearest to the
richness and fulness of the New.
and it makes a fine place Of ap-
proach to the lessons that during
the coming quarter we shall study
concerning representative men and
women Of the New Testament.
