Seeing Neao Sights

1t is difficult to imagine the
sensations experienced by persons
from isolated sections of the
world, partiularly island jewellers
when brought into contact with
the facilities of modern life.
A recent dispatch tells of the
wonder with which Machel Gil
lies, a 17-year-old girl from the
Island of st. Kilda, off the Eng
lish coast. first saw horse, an
automobile, a railroad train and
motion piture on her first visit
to the mainland.
Thousands osf people live and
die without seeing any of these
thingas although they may live
within a comparatively short dis
lance of them all.
But it is not only those who
live in sparsely settled localities
who are unfamiliar with objects
which are commonplace to the
great majority. Not long ago a
large and curious crowd gathered
in a certain section of New York
City to see strange kind of ami
NAL which had often been heard
of but never seen by many OF
those who gathered to gaze upon
the beast.
1t was a cow.

Origin of Baseball

While baseball as we know it
is sport of comparatively recent
development, a game in which
tossed ball was batted with a rude
club has been traved back to the
14th century in Europe. The
present American game was prob
ably an outgrowth of that of
town BALI, played in New Eng
land from about 1880, in which
the runs were made around posts
set in the ground, instead Of
bases.
The first code of baseball rules
was formulated by the Knicker-
booker club of New York in 1S45,
the first match game was played
the following year, and the first
gate money series of games took
place in Hoboken in 1858. The de-
velopment of the game was check
ed by the Civil War, but was re-
vived in 1865, when convention
was held at which representatives
of 80 clubs were present.
A Rockford, H., team first en-
ployed regularly salaried players,
but the Cincinnati Red Stockings
organized in 1868, is considered
the first professional club. II
made tour in 1859, winning SO
games without meeting single
defeat In 1870, it won 20 straight
games, being defeated in the 30th
by the Atlantics of Brooklyn.
Gamblers having gotten control
of the game. convention was
held in Louisville, in 1876, al
which strict rules to overcome
bribery, betting by players and
other abuses were adopted, and
the National League was formed
There are now more than twenty
professional leagues, of which the
National and the American Tor

Music for Workers

The idea that music would tend
to speed up production in factor
les where workers tasks are mo-
notonous is not new one, but
it is being applied to an ever-in-
creasing extent Industralists
predict that in short time few
factories will be without music.
Aside from its tendency to in
crease the workers output, it
brightens their working hours by
giving them enjoyment while they
work. Williami Green, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, is quoted as saying: Music
is a friend OF labor; it lightens

Yellowstone Wonders

Sixxty-five years ago, Congress
set apart 3.575 square miles of
land, mostly in northwestern wy
oming, since known as Yellow
stone National Park, in order to
preserve for posterity one of the
most wonderful groups of natural
phenomena in the world.
The park is situated on a noun
famous plateau from six to eight
thousand feet above sea level,
with many high peaks of volcanic
origin, but now extinct. There
are several lakes, the largest be-
ing Yellowstone Lake. about ten
by twenty miles in extent and ly-
ing 7,741 feet above sea level. The
falls and canyon of the Yellow
stone River are among the most
spectacular and beautiful to be
found anywhere.
Of paramount interest to many
are the geysers, about 100 in num-
ber-more than exist in all the
rest of the world. Most of these
spout water and steam, and others
spout thick mud. Excelsior gey-
ser is the largest, flowing 1900
gallons of boiling water minute
and throwing great column OF
water and steam 100 to $50 feet
high at irregular intervals. Old
Faithful geyser discharges a col
umn $50 feet high every Ga or Sc
minutes, amounting to a million
and half gallons at each erup
ton.
Good roads land modern CON
veniences for the comfort and the
pleasure of visitors are to be
found in the park, which annually
attracts a great number of tour
lists. Hunting is FORBIDDEN, but
fishing is permitted. The park Ii

that this wonderful region was
debated to public use by Con

1t has seemed to most persons
that the surprising hold of pro

following goes to its games to
see foot ball, not to celebrate

GREATER FAITH TO
BE PETTY'S TOPIC
Middleburg Pastor Outlines Sermon
To Be Preached at That
Church i'm Evening.

"A New Faith Out of Twentieth,
Century Martyrs" is the subject of the
Year Year sermon to be preached at
Middleburg M. E. church next Sunday
evening at 7:3O o'clock by the pastor
Rev D. A. Petty, he announced today
He invited the general public to at
tend the service. Mr.. Petty gave the
following outline of his sermon:
"The living Christ stands forth in
our world today and proclaims new
day and a new life for war-torn and
strife-ridden nations and men of our
time. With the coming of the New
Year one great denomination begins
the celebration of mans experience of
God which shook England out of its
formal, lifeless religion into an ex-
perience of vital Goodness. England
has never been the same since. Pray
er for a fresh baptism of the Spirit
of God is already being offered up
to God by millions of Christians all
over the world; prayer for an expert
ence so vital and real that it will bring
new life to Christians and the church
around the world. ~
eff Christianity is to survive and
overcome the war spirit, communism,
nationalism and the other powerful
political PHILOSOPHERS of our time, 1t
must become a resurrected religion,
a religion in which men have come
to possess spiritual life, life that is
more abundant than that of the past.
"Men are tired of the monotonous
grind of routine life with only for
NAL religion. They see it will not save
the world, any more than it saved
Russia. They seek new life and new
power With the coming of the new
year it will be possible for any Chris
tan to claim a new power, and to
possess it. Just as this will be year
that we have never lived before, so
we may possess life that has never
before been ours.
"The world is watching Protestant
ism in Germany to see whether its
Christian faith is sufficient to stand
the persecution of a pagan govern
ment. Many have been put to death,
others are still protesting. Will Chris
tianity stand in China, in japan, in
Japan, in Spain? If it is real, "the
blood of, the martyrs will again be-
come the seed of the Church.

SO pacifistic.
Believes In Neutrality.
Although undoubtedly in micros-
copic minority, I still am not entirely
cured of the idea that the best way
to be pacifistic is to be outspokenly
pacifistic.
1 always liked Senator Gerald P.
Nye's neutrality law. I am acquainted
with the argument that belligerents
will be emboldened to stamp on us
if assured that we will stay neutral
anyway, but I do not subscribe to its
conclusion. do not believe that fore
ign belligerents will interpret it as
literally as that.
And I have considerable sympathy
with Representative Louis Ludlow's
proposed constitutional amendment.
calling for a popular vote to author
ize an American declaration of war.
I am sure the Ludlow amendment
will be unadopted, but not that it is
100 per cent deficient in merit.
Referendum Desired.
AS matters stand the President can
not declare war.
Congress has to vote the declaration
The President, to be sure, can Gre
ate state of affairs which amount:
to war, leaving Congress no option
but to declare it. There is no check
however, on Congress.
Ludlow wants a possible veto or

prospective enemy already would have
done his dirty work" while the bal
lot was in progress
Thew assert likewise that pro" an6

Finally, they contend that Congress
is representative-and that it would

vote to override it on such an issue.
