Tending also he will deliver it; and

en- text in the lesson sermon on

Sunday in all branches of The
Mother Church, The First Church

One of the Bible selections in the

Luke: And it came to pass, as he
went into the house of one of the
chief Pharisees TO eat bread on the
sabbath day, that they watched
him. And, behold. there was a
certain man before him which had
the dropsy. And Jesus answering
spake unto the lawyers and Phar-
isees, saying, Is it lawful to heal
On the sabbath day? And they
held their peace. And He took
him. and healed him, and let him

A correlative passage from Sci

rests on mind alone as the cura-

.SPORTAPARADE
bAa&Ta@

LONDON, June IS. UR)-It is
breaking no confidence to reveal
that England is highly confident of
winning the Wightman cup from
our American tennis ladies in the
meeting starting today. There is a
double reason for the optimism,
find the first being that the match
will be contested at Wimbledon, "far
from the maddening distractions of
Forest Hills"
The quoted words belong to an
eminent British critic. In explaining
the loss of the cup last year this
gentleman made it clear that play
ing at Forest Hills was enough to
try the soul of any player, what
with the radio reporter practically
talking in the girls ears, and the
journalists ltypewriters clicking
madly a few yards from the courts.
This, of course, is entirely differ
ent from Wimbledon, which, during
the play, resembles deluxe DEATH
house. There all conversation is car
ried on in whispers ; there is abso-
lutely no applause in the midst of
a rally, and a man with typewriter
or a telegraph instrument would be
shot in his tracks.
Reason No. 2 for the English op-
timism is that, for the first time in
years, there were enough top-flight
women players to make naming the
team a genuine task. Two girls set
the pace. They are Dorothy Round
and Peggy Scriven.
The remainder of the team was
chosen from a dozen players, all of
whom are very closely matched. Mrs.
Kitty McCane Godfrey was picked
fer one doubles team In recent
trials at Wimbledon, Mrs. Godfrey,
though no longer youngSter, show
ed she still possessed thorough
mastery of the game. In the
trials she paired with Miss Scriven
and Evelyn Dearman, and in each
of her matches was easily the
smoothest performer on the court.
Competitor in six of the IL cup
matches, and twice Wimbledon
champion, Mrs. Godfrey knows all
the answers.
Another doubles pair are Miss
Dearman and Nancy Lyle, daugh-
ter of Sir Leonard Lyle, the sugar
tycoon. This tandem has been very
successful in recent tournaments in
which they displayed fine under
standing.
Miss Round still is the No. play
er in the country and Miss Scriven
proved she was only whisper less
capable by being at match point five
times against Miss Round in the
finals at Bournemouth.
