Gods Eternal Rule

7 EFT us turn now to the verse in
IL Psalm 145, which reads: Thy
Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
and Thy dominion endureth through
out all generations"
Every thoughtful person is today
wistfully searching for certitude -
for the assurance that behind these
dark clouds that lower over our
frightened world the sun still
shines. Better, that the sun shall
break through these clouds.
Our lesson gives that very as
surance. This is our Fathers
world. He lives! He reigns! And
he waits to reveal himself to US
in wisdom and power. He will not
force himself upon US. We must
open the door to him. He stands
and knocks.
Is that not enough to bring us to
our knees in the fervent prayer,
''Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth as it Is done in
heaven"
Beginning in the home, and
spreading into every area Of life.
may the truth Of Sundays lesson
become the watchword Of America
and Of all lands as we enter upon
the New Year. Thus panoplied, we
shall be strong and prepared to
meet and master every problem at
hand and ahead.
"OHr God oHr belp jD ages past,

Rich Gifts for Jesus

p FAD again the second chapter Of
AN Matthew, particularly the Sec
ton which describes how the Wise
Men brought their gifts - rare and
precious gifts-to the Son Of God.
They were rich gifts, meaning that
they were costly. We dare not
bring anything to Jesus that does
not represent measure Of sacri-
fee.
Contemplating the days ahead,
what shall be the test Of our gifts
to Jesus? Shall. we give him our
leftover time? Shall we be satisfied
to bring him a pittance Of material
gifts? Or shall our gifts, like the
gifts of the Wise Men, be the first
fruits of all his increase? He asks
for our love, our loyalty, our glad
and sincere devotion.

''EIe shall dwell with them, and they

nal rule will be gladly acknowledged
and received if all place their hands

Nineteen forty-eight holds many
question marks. People are afraid.
They are confused. And here
comes the message Of Sundays

PIES"
The world is passing away, the
lust thereof, but they that put their
trust in God shall abide forever and
ever. Gods eternal rule has been
vindicated in history. It will be vim
dicated again and again in the COM
ing year wherever his people cast
themselves in unwavering faith into
his care and keeping.
We shall do well to read again
and again the chapters in Revela-
ton, 1922, and see how all who
walked with God were victorious.
and how all who forgot him and for
sock his ways, were destroyed.
Do we not see the clear applica-
ton for our day and generation?
The nations that forget God do
die.

not have been the proper decision
as I indicated the strike by voice
and a motion of my right hand as
1 had been doing all during the
game and at no time during the
game did tell the batters to take
a walk by pointing to first base.
The batter moved off without defin-
itely finding out what the pitch
was and the runners were moving
up at their own risk without first
determining what the pitch had
been called. The play was still in
motion as the catcher made a play
at third and you couldn't call time
while the play was still in process.
At the time the crowd was very
noisy and perhaps they might not
have heard the call but the catcher
did and acted accordingly. Ac-

and second naturally assumed that
they were forced to advance and
started for second and third.
AT this point, when the umpire
should have stepped in front of the
plate, suspended play, and returned
the runners to their respective
bases-if his statement of what
took place is accurate-he, in
stead, announced so that appar-
entity no one but the Odessa catch
er could hear him that the last
pitch was a strike. With this
special information, Sheats quick
ly threw the ball to the Odessa
thirdbaseman and yelled for him to
tag out the Smyrna runner, R.
Grier, who was advancing easily
toward the base.
The Umpire thereupon called
Grier out and ended the baseball
game in Odessa's favor.
This protest is based upon the
fact that the umpire permitted the
Smyrna players to entertain what
he states was the wrong idea con-
cerning his decision and, instead

preston, Reynolds allowed Sheats
to take advantage of the impress
sion that he (Reynolds) had ere

cision or, apparently, to recognize
the unfairness of it.
The Smyrna team would like to
re-play this game with Odessa to
decide 4th place in the v League
and preferably on a neutral dia-
mond."

pitch as a lot of batters do on a
three and nothing count. The
crowd was very noisy at this point
and the batter may not have heard
the call strike as he was moving
off at the time but the catcher
heard the call and acted according
