Two Minute Sermon
(By THOMAS HASTWELL) o..

THE REAL EVIDENCES OF
CHRIST: When one sees on all
sides a lack of interest in the
church. when wrong and injustic )
is permitted to exist unchecfIed
and unrebukeG, and when the whole
world is engaged in a mad race of
military preparation with each nd
ton ready to spring at the throat
of the other, it is difficult to be-
lieve that much progress has been
made toward the establishment Of
the Kingdom of God here on earth
in the 1000 years that have elapsed
since Christ presented to mankind
his matchless program Of hume, r
salvation. Though 1000 years seems
a long time in the life of race, it
is but a brief span in Gods plan.
These 1000 years brought about
many things of a material nature
and the well being of mankind
among these are the churches,
hospitals and countess charitable
and welfare agencies to be found
everywhere today. To my way
Of thinking, although these are
everywhere today. That presence
is best expressed by what might
be called the public conscience of
today, the conscience, that like ne
leaven of the parable, is working
ceaselessly for the betterment aud
the uplift and the upbuilding of
mankind. for better conditions of
living, for the relief of distress and
suffering, for child welfare and the
more just treatment of labor anG
capital, for more honesty and higher
ethics in business, for fairer and
more just treatment Of men by Their
fellowmen. These, it seems to me-
are the indisputable evidences Of
the very presence of Christ in the
world today, and these evidences
viewed in the light of past ages,
reveal a progress that is not
matched by any human achievement
in any age.

Deliberate Mediocrity
(By SAMUEL THOMAS)

| was talking to man recently,
who employs in his business several
persons In the course of our cou'
versation we got to talking about
the different types of workmen. Re-
ferring to one person in his en-
ploy he said: THAT person has been
on our pay roll for fifteen years.
He knows no more about the busi-
ness today than he did at the end
Of his first week with us. We tried
at first to point out to him the
necessity of growth in the business
and of assuming more responsiD1ii'
ty if he cared to advance and better
himself, but he has never done it.
AS a result we have kept him on
the payroll at a small salary and
handed him the little tasks and the
drudgery about the place. He has
shown inertia and lack of ambition.
to life od mediocrity.' | thought
when my friend told me this, what
{. conFi eng Illustration this should
be to every young person entering
into the emp'oy of any firm. To my
way of thinking the greatest mis-
take that any person can make is
to iail to grow and learn and inn
prove at every opportunity, his
field of usefulness and efficiency.
There are hundreds of workers who
81 & only earning a snail part what
they might be earning but for the
fact that they, after once securing
employment, have ceased to learn
and grow. One of the greatest, If
rot the greatest, injustice3 that
worker can commit against himself
is to deliberately condemn himself
to a life of mediocrity when he has
within him the element of super
Ority.

Reeves took IA injections. He was

BY FRANCIS +. STAN.
TINE aura of prosperity that has
hovered over the collective
head of the Washington ball
L club this season, and particu-
larly of late, has not missed William
Ben Chapman the fy-chasing gazelle,
who swallowed the chagrin he must
have felt when traded away from
q world series cut and came up with
his greatest year in big league base
ball. AS a matter of fact, that the
Nationals have enjoyed their artistic
prosperity since the middle of June
might well have been because Chapman
passed it on to them as much as
Ben's new environment helped him.
AS the season draws to its close,
Alabama's fleet-footed son is in a
fair way of compiling a remarkable
record Despite 1874 batting average,
Ben's name won't be found among the
slugging leaders of the American
League, but he is the type OF ball
player whose value is not confined to
producing base hits only. There seers
to be no question but that Washington,
in swapping Jake Powell for Chapman,
> came up with the best lead-of batter
in the American League at least.
Ben has a remarkable facility for
getting on base, and therein may
lie much of the secret of the Griffith
A. C.'s success. When Chapman

SingtOn Is New Hero.

HOME today to vacation until
Saturday, when they invade New
York for a farewell series in Gotham,
the Nationals had other reasons to
congratulate themselves on the worth
of an outfielder. The latest of the
fy-chasers to warm Harris heart Is
big Fred Sington.
The former Alabama foot ball star
still is on trial as a big league ball
player, but his chances today appear
far brighter than when the Grifts
left for their trip West. Sington, 1t
seems, must hit well il the 300 class
to hold a regular job. After feeble
start Fred is nearing the 300 figure
now after touring the Western halt
Of the circuit at .320 pace.
It isn't the quantity of Sington's
base hits that is impressing Harris
now so much as is what his blows
are meaning. The big boy, even when
he was not hitting 300 in his first
eight games, showed an uncanny
ability to come through when hits
meant runs.
Reviewing his Western record,
Sington, in eight games drove across
the highly commendable total of 13
runs. Every time he made hit it
averaged slightly more than one run
driven across for he boosted his total
at this speciality on II hits.
For his entire trial, then, Fred has
batted in 81 runs on 20 hits and if
his foul" home run in st. Louis
the other day had been called fair, as
the Griffs swear it was, it would have
been two home runs driven across for
the old mauler of the Crimson Tide.
