My dear friends, in order TO give
an idea Of what it means to be a
Christian, I must invite you to
make a visit to Calvary. AS you
stand there before the Cross. | say
to you, in the words Of PLATE, "Be-
hold the Mani"
We would taye you there for two
or three reasons, first, to instruct
your intellect, secondly, to excite
your emotions, thirdly to amend your
practice For we hold that to be a
Christian consists of three things:
first, sound doctrine affecting the in
tellect, econd true experience, dealing
with the emotions, and third, a holy
life, fashioning the outward visible
practice of everyday existence. If
we make a visit to Calvary, Jesus
would benefit US in all these three,
and if by faith we are enabled to
see Him now, we shall go away
profited in each of these particulars
edited in doctrine, blessed in *
perience, and sanctified in practice.
Behold the Man! See Him cruel
fled, his hands extended Do you
mark the droppings Of His blood. Do
you see the thorny crown upon His
head? Do you note the scars Of mise
ry upon Him.? Do you see His
lacerated back, as the lash tears it +?
Do you observe His eyes sunk in
their ockets? Do you behold the
dull, dead misery settled on His ma
jestic ~countenance? Do you perceive
the acute ~unutterable anguish which
He suffers? Can you see Him? If
you look Alright, you will ever know
how desperately vile sin is This is
the spot where sin committed its
direst crimes. Sin is exceeding sin
full when it is a homicide, but it is
most sinful when it turns decide and
kills its God! The vilest deed sin
ever did was when it nailed our Sa-
viour to the cross and there let Him
hang, the murdered victim Of our
sins
Would you e sin? | might show
you a thousand pictures of sin.
might let you see fair Eden, blast
tered and withered, with all its fruits
smitten. 1t was sin that caused it
all. 1t was sin that caused fore
father to invent the plowshare to
pillow Eden that was once so beauti-
full. 1t was sin that caused God to
send a flood and wash out the world
It was sin that caued the chambers
of the great deep to be broken up. 1t
was sin that called down the ven
geance of God on Sodium and Gomor-
rah. It was sin that caused the ang-
/ err of God to be kindled against

focused on his work, he is an
excellent third man who gives
value for his hire.
Referee Dempsey is no hollow
shell in that capacity.
He has two earmarks of a.
man who knows his business.
He constantly circles the op-
ponents and he seldom lays a
hand upon either.

from the fighters mostly by a
clap of his hands and a sharp
admonition.

No Snowman, no actor, Jack
Dempsey revealed to the chosen
few who were privileged to see
him do his modern speciality,
what a plain, he-man individual
he is.
In his piping, almost boyish
voice, he was grateful to Wash

sweater presented by Mrs.

There was a light in his eyes
then, a vindictive glare, a torch
that barred the innate savagery in
this fighter whose great fists
clenched instinctively as he spoke
Of tumbling men into the rosin.
Looks Like Mother
"She looks like her mother,
and yet she looks like me. Has
my black hair" said Dempsey.
He thought only of his baby.
A smile played over the face
that I had seen distorted in the
fury of fighting rage so many
times. There was tenderness, the
love Of a father, where there had
been the demonical mask that
distorted the features of the en-
battled champion Of other years.
Dempsey'S voice, always high
pitched under excitement, kept
its range, but the note was diff
ferent. And little Joan Hannah
Dempsey has worked this miracle
Dempsey is lucky, twice lucky
in the gift of a daughter even
If he wanted a son to raise as a
boxer. Not one man in 1000, 900;
no, nor one in 120,000.0O0 can
ever have the fire and prowess of
Jack Dempsey. None has ever fol-
lowed their dad to the peak yet.
Looking at this old Manassa
Mauler in his dressing room,
hearing him talk, the writer de-
tached himself for the moment
to fly on the wings of fancy and
set Dempsey senior at a ringside.
Jack Dempsey, jr., is defending
his title. The year Is 1864.
Is OutbOxed
Swept out Of the East on
soft wind, a drenching rain pours
on a crowd Of 100000 people.
Dempsey, outboxed, moves for
ward and swings a left. Through
the ropes a broad shouldered
man looks on. Anguish tears his
heart and twists his face. His
son is stabbed by myriad lefts,

my sake, boy. One left!"
Same Crowd
But Jack can't step in. He
knows what to do, but his legs,
once his pride and his strength
when he was climbing to the
title as his father climbed be-
fore him, won't move forward.
He paws with his left. misses, and
The Form glides off the ropes to
win.

The old feel of the game
was back in the Dempsey bones,
too, as he waved Wilson to a
neutral corner on at least four
occasions. Yes, the man was
in his element. He was like a
colt turned to pasture on
frosty morn. He got $1,500 for
those few minutes of work, but
he didn't toll as though it were
labor but more like it were
love.
Dempsey Gives Value
In better than average physi-

still lean and spare, Dempsey
