Feed ths Fighters ! Win the War!!
Harvest the Crops -Save the Yields
On the battle fielda of France and Flanders, the United States boys and the
Canadian boys are fighting side by side to win for the World the freedom that Prua
sianisrq would destroy. While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of
muscle that can be requisitioned must go into use to save this year's crop. A short
harvest period requires the combined forces of the two countries in team work, such
as the soldier boys in France and Flanders are demonstrating. '

Bronkle, who hits right-handed. Bron

Former.Yale Pitcher Not Very Highly

Nelson M. Wuy, better known as Pie

for good not long ago to enter upon a
business career. Pie was not very
highly pleased over his experience ns
a professional player, us the following
remarks attributed to him nttest:
"I don't wunt to be ln the position of
uttacklng baseball, that Is, profession
al baseball. It Is none of my business
und I haven't amounted to enough In
the game to stand as u critic. But I
can sny (thnt I found It a loss, so far
us I was concerned. I say this In spite
of the fuct that I could sign nt least
j two very satisfactory contracts with
good minor league clubs, with the pros
pect, of, course, of working my way to
tho big league. But I don't wunt It.
"Jack Coombs put it correctly when
he said that a college man goes into
the big league with nn education and
comes out without one. Coombs Is a
college man who has spent a number
of years In organized baseball, ami he
ought to know. In fact, I could see It
for myself. You hnve no great Incen
tive to read or keep up with the
times; there Is no bookish association.

with then! does not tend to nny amount

does not appeal to ull, but I am speak

TEXT Th statutes have been my
songa In the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm U9-.M.
The one hundred nnd nineteenth
Psalm Is the longest ln the collection.
Its verses one
hundred and seventy-six
In nil
are not closely
connected so that
Matthew Henry
speuks of It ns "a
chest of gold
rings, not n chain
of gold links."
One ' subject how
ever Is mentioned
In all but two of
the verses viz.,
tho law of God. It
is spoken of ns
law, word, saying,
c o in mundments,
testimonies, Judg
ments, and in our text, us the statutes
of God.
The Psalmist' declares that these
statutes have been his song In the
house of his pllgrlmnge. He pictures
himself as a pilgrim and sojourner, in
a strange land and far from home, but
finding his solace und delight ln the
law of God.
We must confess this Is a different
conception from thnt of most men.
God's law to them Is not the sweet
ener of life. On the contrary, life
would do well enough If God could be
left out of It His luw Is the skeleton
ut the feast nnd to forget God Is their
dally pursuit.
Some, however, advance from the
place where God's luw Is their dread
to the place where they observe It us
their duty. We suspect this Is the at
titude of many Christians. Well, the
Lord Is very tender and of great
mercy; he will not break the bruised
reed nor quench the smoking llux. But
how disappointed he must be! What
husband would tolerate n wife who
only engaged I41 "do her duty" In re
turn for his love? We are supposed
to - "to the praise of the glory of
bis grace," as Kpheslans tells us, nnd
not merely "do our duty." We sing:
Fairest I.onl Ji'mis, Rulnr of nil nature!
() Thou of God 11 nil man the Son!
Tli-i- will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thee, my soul's glory, Joy and crown.
Then we talk, rather dolefully, of "do
Ins our duty."
The Psalmist would show us a more
excellent way. In which dread and
duty give place to delight and the
statutes become songs. A few consid
erations will show the reasonableness
of this attitude.
The Beauty of the Lord.
Dave Davenport, Who Had Narrow Es
cape Last Winter, Gets Hard Slam
in His Short Ribs.
Pitcher Dave Davenport of the
Browns seems destined to die n nat
urul death. He exploded n load of
buckshot Into his unatomy last winter
and it didn't feuse him. The other
day In batting practice he was struck
in the short ribs by a bull coming ut
a terrific clip and crumpled up like a
dead man, but soon was up and on his
feet. Kxnmlmitlon by a physician re
vealed that ho had suffered no serious
injury, though the blow might have

of the Schuylkill navy, who last year

by aquatic friends In Philadelphia re

Prize Fighter Is Rejected.
Tommy Gibbons, light heavyweight
boxer, brother of Mike Gibbons, mid'

Many Athletes In Camps.
With so many prominent athletes in
Uncle Sam's service there 6hould be
some grent athletic events In the
camps If the soldiers ln the making
have time for such competition.
First of nil, God's laws nre the ex
pression of his lovely nature. Things
nre not right because God wills them,
but God wills them because they are
right. They express himself. The
saintly Bishop Ninde.of the Methodist
church was once observed by a friend
with n peculiarly lovely expression pn
his face. The friend asked what
thoughts they were which were reflect
ed thus In the Bishop's face. "I was
Milking nf God," was the reply. The
-lorv of this God Is expressed In his
statutes and if we keep them we shall
be like him and the beauty of the Lord
uir God shall be upon us.
Again, law Is after all not such n
harsh thing. We should not desire n
lawhiss country. Every creature finds
liberty In obeying the law of Its be
ing and so slmll we. A fish lives bap
plly only so long lis it stays in the wa
ter, with all Its limitations, and we
shall be happy only In the will of God,
One 1ms said, "The principles of mathe
matics determine beauty and' the laws,
of geometry are at the bnsis of music;
but Just as the nrtlst transfigures the
stern laws into picture and sonata, so
In knowledge, love, patience and sacrl
flee the austere precepts of duty pass
nto that beauty of holiness of which
nil other beauty Is only the shadow.
The statutes have become songs.
God's Rule Over All.
Once ngaln, God's statutes ure In
agreement with nil his laws. He
who upon Slnal tittered his will toward
men, sits upon the throne of the uni
verse nnd Issues his mandates to nil
things animate and Inanimate. "The
Lord hath prepared his throne In the
heavens and his kingdom ruleth over
all. Bless the Lord, we his angels,
thnt excel ln strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the
voice of his word. Bless we the Lord
all ye hosts, ye ministers of his that
do his pleasure." The angels not
only do his. commandments but hearken
for the whispers of his pleasure. The
starry armies of heaven tire marshaled
under his captaincy. Things in earth
and waters under the earth receive the
law nt his month. Science recognizes
more and more that not from many
sources but from one must come the
laws ruling In the sphere of physical
things. Well, the statutes for a hu
man life came from him who rule
everywhere, nnd they must harmonize
with his rule elsewhere. So, we are
lifted to the blessed vision of the man
who does the will of God as dwelling
ln such a pivotal place that all things
work together for bis good!
Just us n mother's iive makes a
service a delight which to others Is a
dreud or a mere duty, so if wo love
God, hla EtfJutes will become songs,
