Of fading ball clubs-boomed thunder

top Of the National League standings

despite the two victories scored yester-
day over Philadelphia which snapped
a six-game losing streak.
Charlie will manage the team at
least until tomorrow" said Owner P.
K. Wrigley with a smile as he emerged
from his latest conference with Grimm.
Later, he said he wouldn't fire Charlie
unless found q better manager, and
I haven't found better one yet" He
emphasized, however, that he was not
going to back Charlie up" by offering
to renew his contract at this time.

things went wrong but I'm not going
TO do that now" Wrigley said. The
other system didn't work and perhaps
THIS one will. Naturally, when a team
which figured to win the pennant
continues to lose, there is room for
investigation. I'm not satisfied with
the Cubs showing and I intend to

RADIANT LIVING
LIFE's GREATEST CHART
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor Of
Deals Island, Md.

Before mariners sail forth upon
the trackless seas they make sure
I that they are well supplied with
charts that show where the deep
water lies and where there is danger
from shoals, hidden rocks, submerg-
ed reefs, and treacherous currents.
The greatest chart, however, for
those who sail upon the sea of life
is the Holy Bible.
This is especially true of the Book
of Proverbs.
Here you will find laid down and
mapped out by the wisdom of the
centuries countless courses to fol-
low which will keep you clear from
the danger of those rocks, reefs, and
shoals that have caused the wreck
of many a life.
Faithful obedience to the courses
laid down in this little book will
keep you from the danger of the al
Turing woman, the red wine, and the
grasping life. Faithful obedience to
the courses laid down in the Book
of Proverbs will guide you into those
harbors of worthwhile accomplish
ments in life, such as that of good
name, honor, independence, and hap
piness.
Take for instance such a directed
course as this: He that keepeth his
mouth keepeth his life: but he that
openeth wide his lips shall have de-
structiOn."-
Then here, out of the many is an
other valuable direction: Go from /
the presence of a foolish man. when /
thou perceivest not in him the lips |
of knowledge"
To quote a third one we might
point to this: "Seest thou a man dill
igent in his business? he shall stand
before kings; he shall not stand be-
fore mean men"
Lay down a course of living as di-
rected by this Book of Proverbs and
follow it for thirty days and notice
how much smoother, safer and hap
pier your voyage of life becomes.
