Doe-Fightine Popular
In National League
By JOHN LARDNER,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
NEW YORK, June 2 (N.ANA0.-
"There doesn't seem to be team
In our league" says Leo Durocher
the deep thinker who manages the
Brooklyn Dodgers, that can get off
and hide from the rest Of u.s.
This is true. AS the National
League race goes into its second
quarter. not single ball club in Mr..
Ford Christopher Frick's old but
Lively loop has shown the ability to
open a lead on the field.
Opportunity has showed the wolf
to one side and knocked on the
doors of seven of the National
League teams, but the answer came
back, Not at home" in each case.
There has been chance after chance
for even a fair club to take advan-
tage of the manning. gouging and
chewing in the middle brackets of
the league race and kiss the rest of
the boys good-by.
But the rest of the boys don't like
to see the meeting break up. Every
time somebody tries to sneak for the
exit, they reach out and haul him
back by the seat of his pants.
CordinoIs Fall Back
In Toughest Test.
Take the case of the Cincinnati
Reds. With their pitching finally
rolling over smoothly, their hitters
hot in their home park, and the rag
ged Eastern clubs limping in and
out of Crosley Field, the Reds ran
up a 10-game winning streak. The
Cardinals, also aflame, lost only one
game over the same span of time.
When the wreck of the Eastern in
vaision had been lugged away, there
were the Reds and Cardinals we'll
out of reach of the rest of the
league and in a perfect position 10
run even farther away.
They met head-on in their own
crucial series, the winner of which
certainly figured to go roaring on
toward a commanding lead on July
1. And the Reds won the series by
q clear margin. At the break of the
sizzling dawn on Memorial Day they
were three full games ahead, with
the soft pickings on an Eastern trip
looming just before them.
All that stood in their way on
the genial festival day were the fall
tering Chicago Cubs, whose ace
pitcher they had just licked. The
Cubs had nothing in the way of
pitching left for the occasion-ex-
cept an elderly southpaw with his
epitaph in his hip pocket and
young Highlander who spends
four-ffths of his time infesting the
bull pen.

Church News
A THUMB-NAIL SERMON

The tragedy of the Christian
church is that she has tried to
make compromise with science in
stead of consistently denying the
power of science to touch the soul
of man The Church. or at least a
large part of the Church, has sur
rendered many of the eternal truths
of personality to the interpretations
of science and the social studies.
The sciences and even pseudo-sci-
ences have to a large extent been
allowed to usurp the authority of
the Church and religion over per-
sonality and its development.
Thus science has been permitted
to shift the emphasis from the doc
trine of Immortality, which looks
forward, to the doctrine of heredity,
which looks backward.
Instead of the conviction of sin
and personal responsibility, we now
have the reputable, if pseudo-sci-
entific definition of the unconscious
mind, which permits a person to
commit sin without being consider
ed responsible.
In place of the religious belief
tlldl tldH Is DOIn III SIN, Dul can
be born again to a better life and
better habits. we now have the doc
trine that he must get rid of his
inhibitions.
The natural selfishness of man
has been rationalized and even ideal
lied through the social philosophy
of self-expression and living ones
own life.
The religious belief that man must
suffer for his shortcomings either
in hell hereafter or a hell on
earth has been condemned as being
negative gospel of fear Now
people are described as suffering
from phobias and all manner Of
scientific compulsions which
have no place in the Church cate
chism, but which are filling the
mental hospitals at an appalling
rate.
The true physician of the soul
and many of the current emotional
disorders should be the ministry
yet large portions of the Church
have delegated this basic duty to the
machinists of the soul-From THE

I think God loves the wild things best
Because they need him more;
No one invites the deer to dine
Behind fast-closed door;
No farmer scatters golden grain,
That grouse may eat their fill;
Or if he does and if they do,
'Tis much against his will
But I've seen miles Of mountainsides,
Just black with huckleberries,
That God had planted just to ease
The economic worries a

BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL

With multitudeS of people follow
ing Christ about and listening to His
preachings, it probably was felt by
Him that He must get away from
the world sometimes and commune
with His God. So, on this night CT
which we are told He took his three
best friends, Peter, James and Joh:.
his brother and went up into a high
mountain to pray. The record says -
must have been Mount Hermon
which rises 5000 feet.
At any rate, while Jesus prayed
apart from his companions, the three
disciples went to. sleep. They were
awakened by bright light, and they
saw Jcsus. transfigured SO that His
Face did shine as. the sum-, and His
raiment was white as the light" With
Him the disciples saw two great Jew.
ish leaders, Moses and Elias, the
prophet They were talking to Jesus
about His coming death in Jerusalem.
Then cloud appeared, and out of the
cloud voice spake and said: "This
is my Beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased; hear thou Him."
You can imagine that the disciples
WC1C 414S5HJcAcO dL llIoI, OUI CSuS
came and touched them and told
them not to fear All their lives these
men especially Peter remembered
and pondered on this vision.
Have you ever seen a familiar face
become transfigured with joy or in
spired thought? It is something to
remember. Plain human faces can re-
| fleet such wondrous light that are
(, transformed and plain features are
made beautiful.
On the next day q certain man came
| to Jesus and brought his only son
| with him. The son was an cpileptic.
The people cf that@day thought a devil
was in him. tearing and bruising him
and making him. foam at the mouth
and cry out. The father said the dis
ciples had tried to cure him, but they
had not been able. Jesus cured the
son and when His disciples asked Him
why they colslds not do it, He told
| them it was bseause they did not
| have enough faith Il
Another interesting story which
Eeomc5sin today's lesson also illustrates
ilhow lack of faith may literally let
t5onel down It is the story of Jesus
+ walking on the, water. The disciples
were in ship (which was tosseo
about in the rough sea. Jesus was on
the shore, and He went toward the
chip, walking on the water. The dis
cipies were frightened at seeing this
miracle. They thought He was a
spirit. But Jesus comforted them by
saying, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be
not afraid.'
Then F;etef said sLord if it be
'I,sng,I bid me come unto Thee on the
y asefr And He said "Con1e.'
So Peter started walking toward
1esus on the water, but he became
