Grimes weakened and before Syl-

Johnson finished for St. Louis,
hurting II innings and giving only
nine hit, and young Bob Osborn,
who opposed him for the last nine
frames, did about as well. Each
had one bad inning, the fifteenth,
but IL failed to break the dead
lock, each team scoring twice. IN
the twentieth, Douthit singled, al
vanced to second as Adams was
thrown out and scored on Highs
single with the run which finally
decided the game after four hours
and ten minutes OF play.
Brooklyn complicated the stand
ing by taking second place from new
York with an 8 TO 7 victory. The
results OF the two games left Chi

Washington's Senator's continued
their efforts to make the American

The Chicago White Sox dropped
back when opposed by Wesley Fer

his 23rd victory OF the season and
his 18th IN succession by a 10 to 5

Candidate Young and His
Platform

Candidate James Young has announced the main
planks Of his platform. He is for a change in the
state tax system to shift the burden Of the levy TO
producers OF natural resources. for a sweeping re-
duction In state expenses and against selling the
present state-owned penitentiary land. Candidate
Young says the indications are that rich oil and gas
deposits are awaiting development. These deposits
or reservoirs are under the surface Of the prison
lads. 1t goes without argument that the prison rat
holes remain open. ready to take in the half million
dollars appropriated by the law makers in the last
gesture they made before ringing down the curtain.

Inc international UNIFORM sun
day School Lesson for March 80.
Review Of the Quarters Lessons.
Devotional reading: 7. John SILT.
BY VIM. Z. GILROY, ID. ID.
Editor OF The Congregationalist
"A review OF the quarters lessons
suggests how quickly we have pass
ed into this portion Of the new
year and how large and vast are
the Christian interests that have
entered into the twelve lessons Of
the quarter.
Commencing with the prcpara-
ton for the coming Of Jesus and
his birth in Bethlehem. we have
passed through the quiet years OF
Nazareth and have visited the scene
Of his early ministry as he began
10 preach his gospel OF repentance
and redemption.
We have seer not only the COM
prehensIveness Of his program, but
we have studied the depth and
reality OF his example and teaching
in the standards OF the kingdom
which he came TO proclaim and in
the nature Of the Christian life.
We have found that life represent
ed in the hishlights OF the beati-
tudes and in the deeply rooted en-
chorage of that brotherly love
which Christ suggested as the earth
" counterpart Of the perfection OF
the heavenly Father.
The Truth Of Religion
II seems trite and commonplace
to say that Christian life is a life
Of ~blesSedness and love, but in that
trite and commonplace saying Is
expressed the sublime truth or the
Christian religion; and until in
larger measure those who name
the name Of Christ partake OF and
express IN their lives the blessed
ness and love that the Master en-
joins and that he comes 10 import.
IL is folly to think Of the most
simple and elemental way Of Chris
tan living rs trite or commonplace.
In this respect 1t Is the old paths
for which We must ask and the old
paths which We must follow-ti~
ways Of simple honesty and kindli-
ness, OF sympathy, f~orbearance. ana
love. We have seen how the King
dom or God means essentially a
putting OF first things first, that
the Kingdom Of God is In reality
the rule of God, and that hence
that Kingdom has its rise in the
heart-the only place where IL
could have its rise and where such
rule could be vitality and truly ex-
pressed.
In the temperance lesson We have
had enunciated the Golden Rule,
and have seen some OF the ways In
which II may be applied In the
modern world with its personal and
social problems. From that we have
| passed to the meaning OF Christian
ity as a power to meet human need
