The More Excellent Way

JAMES goes on to assure us that
~ when we undertake faithfully to
live our religion, we may conf
IDENTIFY claim the promise of God
that il any man lack wisdom, let
him ask of God who giveth literally
unto all men, and upbraideth not.
The conclusion of the whole mat
ter, therefore, Is to face life as we
ind it, taking into account the
actual facts, and boldly ,and conf
IDENTIFY tackling the job In the assur-
ancs that the grace Of the, Lord
Jesus Christ is always sufficient for
any and every situation.
The more excellent way Of
the Golden Rule Is the answer to
the whole matter. But the Golden
rule Is impotent until 1t Is trans
lated into action.
And the best Of II all "a that Il
actually works. When someone
asked Morrison what Christianity
was doing for China, he replied:
Christianity Is changing China into
q community of God" That In pre-
cisely what this lesson viii do for
your community, il you apply its
teachings to life as. you find it.

A Cup Of Cold Water

\IHAT, someone will be asking,
" can l do to show my desire to
be Of actual service, in the name Of
Jesus. Jesus tells us. He says that
whatsoever shall give a cup of cold
water In His name is doing the will
Of God.
We live in a world that pOign-
antly waits for a cum Of cold
water. I have just returned from
another trip through Europe. l
was there in 1916, and / felt then
that life in Europe had reached
the last possible expression Of
need. But this past summer / was
startled to witness q still greater
need.
The question that Immediately
came to mind as / observed condi-
tons in Germany and England and
other countries this past summer
was this, What can we do to meet
such need? And the answer was
ready at hand-give them what you
have, In the name Of Jesus.

Doors Of the Word

JAMES makes much Of practica

tells us that we are to be doors o.
the word and not mere sayers O.

And here he means the Word Of
God-the will of God.
Is there a misunderstood boy in
your block? Is there a girl in
your class at school who suffers
from some bitter criticism? This
lesson would suggest to every
Christian boy and girl to go in
sympathetic understanding to
such neighbOrs and help them to
overcome these handicaps. Thus
we become doors of the will OF
God.

Trinidad Boys Club is celebrat-
ing it's third anniversary August "a
and Executive Director Fred Nalley
announces the club is holding open
house through August and Septem-
ber.
The Trinidad club began with
one rebuilt ping pong table and
became a flrst-class structure COM
plete with hobby shop, showers, soda
bar and a beautiful library which,
Nalley says, houses every type of
book available.
THE club has been completely
remodeled." Nalley says. "A Nation
wide business firm, which prefers
to remain anonymous, sent down
carpenters, painters, plumbers and
plasterers and they remade the
club free Of charge"
Newest on the clubs ever-expand-
ing athletic program is boxing, made
possible two weeks ago by a $4,000
gift from the District Boxing Com
mission.
Some time ago Nalley and 1t.
William T. Murphy. head of the
Police Departments Juvenile Bu-
reau and president of the clubs
Board of Directors, called on the
boxing commission to see if they
could help the club obtain the nee
essary equipment.
And the commission responded
with every type of equipment that
goes with boxing" Naley informed
me. They sent us rs pairs of
boxing trunks, a dozen pairs of
IL and 16 ounce gloves, II pieces
of head gear, dozen jumping ropes,
punching bags, sweat shirts, sweat
sox, mouthpiece. metal exercisers
of all kinds. Even tape and band
ages and hand wraps"
Coaching the clubs team, which
now boasts % members, is Carl
Fontanani, former pugilist who
coached the Merrick Club and Ma
tional Training School teams.
AS to the clubs future plans for
boxing, Nalley says: Were going
to enter every boxing show possible
and put on some of our own shows,
too. BY doing this we may be able
to show the boxing commission our
appreciation for what they have
DONE"
Director of Athletics Russell Her
rick tells us that Kenneth (Corky)
Fones, hard-hitting first baseman
from George Washington High
School and a member of the Boys
Club all-star team, is far ahead in
the Alexandria Boys Club base
running competition. Fones rounded

Spencer, Pro Here II
Years, Takes Golf Job
Al Elizabeth CITY

Cliff Spencer, a fixture in pro-
fessional golf here since 1881, will
leave Washington for the pro berth
at the Elizabeth City IN. c. Club
on September l, he announced
yesterday.
Spencer, who gave 1900 lessons
at East Potomac, his present pre-
job, last year, said he had been
looking for a year-round position
for some time and had been par
ticularly interested In one Of the
Southern States.
Elizabeth City is town Of about
&c, 900 with a nine-hole course and
property for nine more. 1t has a
unique arrangement in that resi-
dents of the city must betclub men,
bers to play the course, but golfers
from out of town may play upon
payment of greens fee.
Spencer succeeds Bill Parker, who
resigned to take over the new golf
course job at the Marine Base at
Cherry Point, N. c.
Golf Pro Since 1928,
The 42-year- -old native Balti-
morean, who has been in pro golf
since 1923, said he would have re-
manned at East Potomac if the
management had given him any
encouragement, but he could not
remain under the present setup
which netted him only the fees he
earned for teaching and incidentals
such as club repairs and a small
percentage of sales. That left him
without income in the winter and
he had to seek other employment.
Spencer's temporary successor will
be Fred Seaton, an eX-caddie, war
veteran and an outstanding athlete
at Eastern High School Seaton has
been spelling Spencer in teaching
this summer.
The East Potomac pro started his
pro golf career at Sparrows Point
in 1928, went to the old Maryland
Country Club with his brother,
Glenn, in 1929, and to Forest Park
in 1880. He took over at Prince
Georges, then Beaver Dam in 1881
and remained until 1899. He has
been at East Potomac since 1910
except for war work at the Navy
Yard.
Star in Sectional Golf.
Cliff has long been one of the
Middle Atlantic sections top play
ers. He won the Maryland Open
championship three times, the Mid
die Atlantic PGA title, the Grosner
Pro-Am match play title with
Claude Rippy and is the present
District Open champion. In addi-
ton, he has won numerous one-day
events. He has been known as the
longest hitter in town and also was
one of pro golf's most snappy
dressers.
Spencer said he planned to take
over at his new post promptly on
September and probably would
return to defend his District Open
title at Indian Spring September
