Its Honesty In Unassailable and "Selliuf
Out" Is Unknown.
BUT RUFFIANISM HAS INCREASED
'oiii)nrion of the Sport to Horse
liai-iug la I nfavornble to the Law
terKncinif Involve Many Thoiis-
, nuds of lollnrs'rhi Year Has
Been a Successful One.
"This year will bivuk the record for
disorder on the base ball fields, for
fighting and scrapping between the
players of opposing clubs," writes Cay
lor. "This state of affairs Is not con
fined to the major league, where every
eonlllct, whether small or important.
Is duly chronicled. But the spirit of
pugnacity has gone out among-, the
junior clubs. President Crane of the
Atlantic league has frankly admitted
that an umpire who undertakes to do
his duty In any game between the Pat
erson and Newark clubs of New Jer
sey takes his life in his hands anil
courts death or disability.
"There is one shining proof standing
high above this professional disorder
in base ball the honesty of the game
Is unassailable. Indeed it Is the over
strained Intensity which puts the
stamp ot honesty upon every game
played. In the old days of sell outs
and rottenness, prior to the organiza
tion of the National league, such a
thing as a fight between opposing
players was never heard of. They were
more likely after a game to go away
together and divide their spoils In se
cret friendship. It Is significant that
at this same time the other great out
of door sport horse racing Is under
suspicion.
COMPARED WITH HACKS.
"The press of the east Is almost mi
anmius lu the charge of combinations
and collusion among the men who are
conducting racing on the Atlantic cir
cuit. All all that legislation can do
and all that honest judges, stewards
and racing magnates have done has
not succeeded in putting horse racing
on that plane of unquestioned honesty
which has made base ball so strong
and popular with the American peo
ple. "Only once in n long time is there
even a charge of dishonesty made
ngalnst professional baseball, and then
it Is usually so frailly founded that little
intention is given to the accusation.
Something ot this kind followed the
recent loss of a game in Philadelphia.
When the Baltimore wont to the bat
in the last inning-, the score was 15 to
X against them, but they made S mure
runs and won out a most extraordinary
victory. Some hysterical supporters of
the Cincinnati olul) Baltimore's only
rival threw out hint that the Phila
delphlas hud presented the game to
Baltimore to help bring the champion
ship east. But an analysis of the game
would not let such a charge stand for
a minute. A club which had a desire or
an lutein Ion to lose a game would not
go about It by taking a lead of 15 to )t
und keeping It up to the lust inning. A
game lost thut way is ten times more
harmful in effect thun one which is lost
from the start or early in the game.
' NO I-TIILIC UKTTINU.
"There are thousands ot dollars at
stake whenever a horse race is run, and
in some races f.'Ui.OoO I'huiiges hands.
Therefore there Is a rich incentive for
combinations, "jobs" and crooked work,
so much so that stewards, judges, and
jockey clubs ore kept constantly on the
ab-rt to foil dishonest conspiracies. In
baseball there is 110 such temptation.
No public betting on the game exists
iu any part of the country, and probably
no other spofl iu Hie world is so free
from private wagers uinong Its sup
porters and put rons.
"The season of 1V.M5 Is near enough
to lis end to put on record the fact
Hint, in spite of fears which beset pa
trons of tlie game last spring, the your
has been eminently successful in base
ball. The principal leagues and asso
ciations have played out their sche
dules or stand ready to finish all obli
gations during September. The West
ern league probably stands ut the head
of the minor leagues in point of flnna
cial success. The St. Paul club will
come out Willi a $l.'i.00l profit, and pro
bably the other clubs III the circuit,
with one exception, will make mnnev
in less amounts. The Western asso
ciation's season lias not been so pros
perous as it was last year, ami Hie
same may be said of the Now Kng-
I land league. But the Kasiern league
1 has made no backward step, while the
new organization, the Atlantic league,
Is an unquulilied success.
"An interesting study in the national
game is the relative strength which
certain teams have against each other.
Tilt Bnltimores beat the Clevelands in
the race last year and will do it this
season with ease. Yet Tebeau's men
have what Is known as a 'lead pipe
clncir nearly every time they meet on
the diamond. In the 12 games played
between the two teams this year the
Clevelands won eight and tied one.
Ever since New York has had a club
In the National league It has boon an
easy prey for the Philadelphia, but it
could always whip Anson's Chicago
with ense nnd confidence. It is said In
Chicago that every time the Colts went
on the field against the New Yorks
when Kusle was programmed to pitch
they were beaten before the game be
gan. This year, with Husle out of the
way. the Chieagos came nearer than
usual In tying the New York series.
But Clarke makes a very good Rusle
substitute against Anson's men."

REV. DR. DIXON'S
FIRST SERMON
Concluded from Page XI
of forest trees In little earthen pots, sup
plying only sufficient light and moisture
to preserve life, until the result Is a piti
able miniature of a great forest tree.
There is a constructive principle thut must
enter every life In its beginning if it is to
shape Into a cedar of ljobauon a tree, the
planting of the Lord. What you Invest
your life with In its beginning will crown
its close.
The Holy Spirit Is not a new anil strange
power given to the saints of God when
they come to look out of life's west win
dowsbut He is needed for the fashioning
and completing of a great life purpose
which is to be saved, save somebody else
and glorify jhe Saviour of all.
Jacob was crafty and deceitful. He
might have been a match for Jay Oould
but whatever he did, or wherever he went,
there was running through his life this
constructive principle which nt last made
him the founder of the church. Every life
that would become a large, and deep and
true life that would be reudy for the
Spirit's translation, must be ready for the
Spirit's Inspiration when the contest be
gins. We are called upon to "adorn the doc
trine or (Kd our Saviour in all things."
God hus made everything beautiful in its
time. Put the emphasis on everything.
This beauty of God hus sometimes done
more toward helping some people Into the
right tort of a life thun the ten com
mandments. A fragile flower has culled
criminals to their knees, when the plead
ing of friends and the solitariness of the
dungeon could not move them. We all
know how the graces of the Spirit attract
us and what an added charm virtue lsto
any life. To possess the Spirit und be
possessed by the Spirit Is to hold for men
an unconscious attractiveness which
speak for Christ and heaven.
The drops that make a rainbow are not
conscious of the arch they are weaving.
They are not seeking fame, they are only
falling to the flowers through a sunbeam.
Thus the spiritual soul, the soult tilled
with the Spirit living well living In vir
tueliving the Chrlst-llfe falls through a
sunbeam, and helps make a sublime pic
ture on ull the conditions thut surround it.
The Holy Spirit panoplies for service.
The Spirt of God wants us to do some
thing. He stands reudy to help us do it.
The early disciples were not told to pray
for the descent of the Spirit, but they wtr
comiuunded to pray the Lord ot the Har
vest to send more laborers into the field.
In some way, hard to explain, the notion
prevails that the Holy Spirit has times
and seasons. An eminent college presi
dent said to a friend of mine last sum
mer thut years ago the good old Dr. Good
rich, of Vale, was uccustomed to say ut
the opening of the college year: "Now,
young men, we are assembled foe work,
und as we gather in tills chapel service we
must be ready to receive the Holy Spirit
when He comes. In all probability He
will come. In December und January, and
wo must not grieve Him uwny. Preachers
have pruyed fur the outpouring ot the
Holy Spirit when the truth is, Flo was
filling the place where they met tor pray
er. Too many times preacher and people
ure spiritual non-conductors. Communi
cation is everything in the spiritual world
as It is ill the natural world.
HEAVEN BY A LONG ROI'TK.
I remember to have been housed up in
Brooklyn for seven days w hen that great
March Sturm blocked the trutllc of two
cities and sent into exile nearly all life on
tlie Atlantic seubourd. Communication
with New York and Boston was by way
of London. The little wires strung be
tween those iw-o cities a few hundred
miles apart were useless, and Ihe cable
under the throbbing ocean told New York
tlie suffering of Boston. Heuven, und the
power and blessing of heuven aro all neur-ci-still,
but we don't live constantly In the
atmosphere of this nearness sumo storm
of udverslty, or self living hus snapped
the wires, and We feel thut dieaven is a
great way off and we send our prayers
away around some imuginury continent
for help und blessing.
Dr. Iverfoot was once talking with a wo
man und trying to persuade her to begin
a Christian life, but she hesitated and to
her hesitation there seemed udded the ele
ment of confusion for she held in her
arms a restless child. Just ut the moment
when the preacher thought his plea hud
been in vuin, because the child -was so
full of the murmur spirit, the little thing
looked up into lis mother's face, and
said, "Muninia, say you will." The words
of that little child co-operated with the
words of the pastor la bringing thai wo
man into the kingdom.
Brethren of what use Is an Meal, unl- ss

OCR DOt'BLE SELVES.
On n recent summer Sunday, nftor
preaching in the morning, 1 was sitting In
the afternoon looking out of my win loy
in one of the far up stories of St. George's
hotel, Brooklyn. The eye swept the horiz
on, the pennants Hying from the topmasts
of the shipping the towers and cables f
the great bridge, tuilil linally I read the
letter on the gable of Plymouth church.
My mind was busy with thoughts of other
days and of the mighty ministry sent forth
from wilhin those Walls when Hie eye
caught the figure of a man walking, in Hie
great plate glass windows iu the third
story of a building across the street. I
said it can't be that man Is on the ground
and I can see his fur-i. the manner of his
walk away up there and I reaehed far
out to see. ami sure enough rlRht below
me, on the same side of the street tills
man was moving along the pavement.
Had he been deformed his deformity
would have reached ihllher. his every at
titude was as clearly revealed to me as
though I hud been near him on the street.
What we do, men and women, along the
thoroughfares of life, projects Itself Into
the third heavens. We have an influence
along every step of the way and we project
ourselves among the shining ranks of
Hod's ungels we have a double inltuence
to answer for.
Can any of us stand In the midst of this
mighty "world-historic" contest and re
main unmoved to action. The Spirit of
tlod waits to mitre every brow with flame
to quicken every tongue to speech, and
speed every foot in Its mission of redemp
tion. When the Spirit puts His seal upon our
lives we will go to any service with swift
ness and joy. Out In the hill country of
Scotland, a shepherd counted his flock
und found that three sheep were missing.
(Suing to the kennel where his dug was
resting with her young, ho said: "Three
sheep are missing, go." The dog looked
for a moment at her young and then at
her master and wus lost In the night.
She was gone an hour, she wus tornby
the thorns and bruised by wolves but she
hud the iwo sheep that Were lost. The
shepherd counted his flock once more,
and still found one missing. He stood
once again at the kennel door where the
faithful creature was resting with her lit
tle ones. Pointing to the wilderness again.

GOODNESS MEANS SCCCESS.
The Holy Spirit ensures success. No
man likes to write, failure on any least
act of his life. No man need to II under
the shallow of defeat if his soul is wedded
to the Christ spirit. This world has to
be convinced und convicted of sin this
world must be helped out of Its misery und
miserliness this world must be lifted uwuy
from itself toward God. The Holy Spirit
is pledged to the accomplishment of that
mission.
The child of God must walk among
Pharisees. His pathway leads many times
Into the open gules of whited sepulchres.
Treachery und deceit, blasphemy and
blighting meet us behind and before. We
must put our faces out ugalnst the bllter
storm or the world's hardest bitterness
and scorn. How shull we face It? Bishop
Wesleotl comprehends the whole truth In
one short terse sentence: "This Is the
secret of every failure, we do not liellew
lu the Holy Ghost."
When Gurihuldl had been defeated at
Rome he issued ids immortal uppeul.
"Soldiers, I have nothing to offer you but
cold und hunger, rags und hardship. Let
him who loves his country follow me."
And instantly thousands of the youth of
Italy sprang to arms and move on to vic
tory. Our great Captain calls us 10 self
dHiilal, cross hearing and sacrifice but lie
calls us to the grandest possible achieve
ment, the sure coming of Ills kingdom ill
the lieurls of men.
Filled Willi His Spirit, Inspired by this
high purpose, the weakest may do and
dare until uotupicst is won. John Knox
suid: "Give me twelve men und I will
move Si-oHuml." Bui the men must
be men who will say: "Give nie Scolland
or 1 dh." John Wi sley said: "Give me
twenty men and I will move the world,
but they must lie men 011 lire for God."
God gave Knox twelve men and Scolland
today feels the Impulse. Gud gave Wes
ley the twenty nun for whom he culled,
und the whole world is thrilled wllh their
power ut this moment a spiritual ele;--trullysls.
Tomorrow Is u day too far off for the
business we have lu hand. Too many cf
us have a mortgage on the future like
Alfred De Vlgney, the French pool, who
was nlways going. lo write the j m of
his life und died before It w as writ lea.
Clad in the power of God Almighty's
Spirit, let us do today whal our hands lliul
to do and Ihe kingdom is advanced as
the day advances, Ihe kingdom grows us
the rose unfolds all Ihe sure pledge cf
God's eternal law.
More than we have dreamed let us feel
thut the power of God's Spirit pledges us
not alone a triumph eipial to the victors
of other days. We ure lo make the p.l it
a success and transcend their best und
holiest achievement. There ought to be

PRESENT-DAY OPI' 1RTI NIT V.
One of the noblest men I know s:fld to
me that when he was a soldier he went to
one of the great generals und said: "1
want my Isiy to meet you. general, so that
In after years he may feel w hen he knows
of your fame that he has taken you by ihe
hand." The boy was introduced, and the
officer said 10 him: "I hone you w ill make
a b'-ttcr man than your father." Instant
ly Dr. Trumbull said. "I'nb'ss he D, gen
eral, both our lives are a failure." T'-e
principle is plain, or what use is ihe past
unless we make our future brighter und
better. Columbus discovert. I America, we
must make America. Chr'st founded Ihe
church, a perpetual baptism of the Spirit
will help us to crow n the church with suc
cess. Good ancestors are well good suc
cessors are better. The church of the fu
ture will be what Its membership is. Or
ganization is well, machinery is well,
but the living Snlrlt of God must per
vade, permeate and move the whole.
The story Is told or a man who had
charge of a wonderful revolving light
which vorked by machinery, sending its
gleams fur out upon .leugues of stormy
seu. It happened that the old man fell
sick und the machinery gave out ut 'he
same time. There wus nobody there but
a lad of thirteen. The brave little fellow
climbed into the lighthouse and began
the weary tusk of turning thut tight ull
night with is own hands so thai strug
gling senmen might be warned of their
danger. The storm wus high, the night
was dark. But when the morning came
It was found that two shins with live
hundred souls on board had been saved
from wreck and death the strength und
energy of thai little fellow tugging uwuy
at thut machinery nil the night saved
those storm driven ships.
Our organization, our machinery It may
give out. It will give out you can't make
It work In nil places und nt all times.
What we need Is n consecrateij member
ship, a membership baptized with the
Spirit of God that will take hold of the
business of doing hand to hand work In
letting the Gospel light shine out where
the world is being shipwrecked and the
souls of me are being lost. When the
eternal morning comes great will be the
I reward of our salvation.
