No crystal ball
Now there have been men and
women who profess to have that
inside peek. Sometimes they do 1t
with tea-leaves, sometimes with a
crystal ball, sometimes they claim
to have a friend on the "other side"
who gives out special information.
Sometimes they just "see" tomor-
row by shutting their eyes. But 1t
is very seldom that such people are
highly respected. They are regard
ed as rather comic characters -
Old Man Nose for example. Crystal
balls appear In countless cartoons.
Sensible people don't take them
seriously-for the good reason that
most forecasters make too many
mistakes. If the tealeaf reader
really could tell you which stocks
would go up, she would be much
richer than she ever will be by tell
ing fortunes.
A large part of the Bible was
written by prophets" and they
are low-rated by many who ought
to get better acquainted with them.
They are low-rated because the
very word prophet" suggests crys-
tai balls, palm-reading and all that
stuff. AS matter of fact, the Bible
word prophet" did not mean fore
caster. 1t meant spokesman, a per-

son who has the authority to speak
for another. The Other for whom
the Bible prophets spoke, of course
is GOD.
One of the greatest prophets,
jeremiah, once drew clear line be-
tween a genuine prophet and a
fake. If a man has a dream, he
said, let him tell it if he likes; but
a Word from God is another thing
altogether. Prophets said what
they said because they knew what
God wanted them to say. When a
man thinks what God wants him
to think, especially if no one has
ever had the thought before, we
call it Revelation. And if man
who has had a revelation feels the
urge to write it or to preach it, that
Is called Inspiration. Revelation has
to do with the truth as it bursts Tor
perhaps grows quietly) within a
mans mind. Inspiration has to do
with passing on Gods truth to
others. The point is, the prophets
of the Bible never said II think"
IT guess" "The probabilities are
they all said "Thus saith
the Lord" OF course the woods
were full of people saying "Thus
said the Lord" and it was pretty
confusing at the time. Who knew
who was right, or whether any of
them We're? But history, which in
a sense is the handwriting of God,
sifted out true from false prophets.
Men and nations who took heed,
and men and nations that paid no
attention, found out in time who
were the real spokesman for God.
Prophet and people
The Sunday School lessons, as
followed by the more than 80 de-
nominations using the Uniform
Lessons" are going to be looking
at some outstanding Old Testament
prophets for the next three months.
We should try to get it straight in
our minds that a prophet and a
priest were two different things.
A priest had an official position;
a prophet had none. Priests were
very well paid, but prophets drew
no salary, and some (like Amos)
were very poor. Priests were born
to their positions; only men of GER
tain old families could be priests at
all Prophets might be distinguished
and wealthy men; most of them
were neither, at the time Priests
kept their mouths shut. They were
supposed to teach, but they gener-
ally neglected to do this. Prophets
could not keep their mouths shut.
God had given them something to
say. Jeremiah once said that when
he tried to keep silence, the Word
within him was like a fire in his
bones. These men had to speak.

CHICAGO, July 19 (AP).-
After failing to elect anyone
into the Hall of Fame for the

Under the new system, sub
iect to approval by the Hall

a second ballot will be taken,
President Edgar Munzel of the

On the runoff, however, only
the top 80 will be on the bal

for only five instead of 10, as
on the first ballot.
Only one player will be en-

DETROIT, July 10. The
Senators immediate objective
is fifth place as they open a
three-game series with tha
Tigers tonight, but Manager
Cookie Lavagetto tabs them
for a flrst-division finish and
is driving them toward that
goal.
This club can finish in the
first division" Cookie said fol-
lowing a lengthy workout on
an of day yesterday. That's
what I'm telling them and
that's what I believe. We're
getting better pitching than
we expected and we're scrap
ping. That's a good start to-
ward a pleasant ending"
Lavagetto ordered a rare
midseason drill yesterday fol-
lowing a pair of victories over
the Indians in Cleveland Sun
day. At this stage such work
outs generally are punitive
measures, but Cookies reason
ing was of a precautionary
nature.
Sloppy After Of Days
I'm going by what I've seen
earlier" Cookie said. We've
looked our worst after an of
day. The idea of staging the
workout was more for mental
reasons than physical. We've
been looking sloppy after of
days, so it's worth risking a few
grumbles to keep them tuned
up a Bit"
During the second half of the
season Harmon Killebrew is 60
ing to be forced to fight his way
back into the lineup. He'll be
at first base tonight against the
