/. AS if by air-wave, and most
certainly by hardship, that Gar
den of Eden episode has caused
man to date, many times to slip.
2. That quick double-play in
the very first inning has lessen
ed mans chance for certainty in
winning.
8. 1t seems that every time he
gets a hit and tries to leave first
base, Satan tags him out and tries
to smear him with disgrace.
4. He then gets up and starts
again and even gets to second &.
but Satan says "you will not pass
me, nor get anywhere near hea-
ven."
S. Then someone sacrifices to
get him out of trouble, but one of
Satan's team puts him out at
third and proceeds to make a
double.
6. All the while the witnesses
are looking to see what next he
will try to do for Satan has
said "I'll not let you by, but
hinder you all the way thru"
7. Christian then takes a bat
of-hope and puts down all des-
pair; and even though Satan is
pitching this time, he is ready to
take his dare.
s. He calmly steps to the bat
ter's box, mistaken, steady of
nerve prepared for old Satan's
chicanery or any kind of decep-
tive curve.
9. At the very first pitch he
hits the ball by faith, far beyond
the wall, and old Satan is so dis
appointed he wished he had some
place to crawl.
|, 10. This is the way the real men
of Gods team upset Satan'S
kingdom in hfe's game, they look
to God and fear no man, but with
courage keep steady aim.
II. They strike high at objects
that are worthwhile, at the ex-
~penSe of what might be called
fun; for this they would gladly
forfeit for the possibility of max
ing a hOme-run.
IL. They too, like the Sainted
Apostle Paul, whose name and
language still echoes thru Gods
eternal Hall-OF-Fame, will want
to sit and repeat with him, after
the pennant is won, 81 have
fought good fight, I have finish
ed my course, have kept the
faith"
