A Quest For True Christianity

an eager desire TO do good and
the highest good. BY the side OF
love to God Jesus placed love to
men. Here Is where our present
day. organized religion parts
from the original breaks off diplo-
matte relationship, and has an al
most complete collapse Scripture
abounds In direct statements as
well as illustrations. that our
attitude. spirit. and service to-
wards others will be the test Of
character In that Great Day OF
reckoning. The parable OF the
Good Samaritan Is fertile In its
teachings concerning THIS life.
Every parable Of Jesus is unique
in that 1t belongs to particular age
and Is characteristic OF no ma
tionality. Translate the parable
into any language and II loses
none of its force because of the
fact that 1t was the product OF
the cosmopolitan Christ.
No nationality can claim Him.
Jesus was Jew but not JEWISH.
There is the French type of mind,
the German type OF mind, and the
American type of mind; but Jesus
conforms NOT to any OF them.
Just as there is the Baptist type

INDIANS BEATEN
4 TIMES BY
STEWART
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Writer

GRIFFITH STADIUM.-If you
would have asked Joe Cronin,
young leader of the Washington
Ball Club, about it a year ago
when things were going along
smoothly, he would have smiled
and said there was no real worry
to it at all.
But today, if you'd ask him the
same question, he'd agree imme.
diateIy that baseball is just one
struggle after another for the
breaks"
He said:
To-day the Cleveland In
dams, with Walter Johnson
back at the helm, are in town
to be our foes for the next four
days. We had tough time
defeating them at Cleveland
last month, but now that we're
at home again and our lineup
and spirit is at a higher ebb,
see no reason why we shouldn't
offer JOhnSOn'S boys all sorts
of trOuble-y'know the sort that
will help us get back into
the first division before very
long"
In an effort to get off to a
flying start against the Indians
Croning announced today that
Lefty Walter Stewart and Eddie
Linke would get the pitching as
signments in the first two games
of the set.
Stewart has yet to be defeated
by the Indians this season. He's
beaten 'em twice at Griffith Sta
dium-both by one-sided scores
while at Cleveland the records
tell he's turned in impressive g.
toll and 3-to-2 efforts.
The last time Stewart faced
his cousins" the game, as the
3-to-2 score indicates was very
close. Few in the park would
guess the final outcome, but Billy
Evans, general manager of the
Indians, was so sure the veteran
left-hander would win, he said to
this reporter:
Don't worry about the out
come as Stewart will win. He
always does. And that's not
taking anything away from the
Indians who usually give him
quite a battle. But they can't
beat him and 1 don't think
they ever will, law of averages
included"
