THE NEW LEAGUE. ffm Apportionment of Flayers The 25-Cent Art aiifruliKMit. Indianapolis, Intl., Deo. 21, All tho bataball magnates have left the city, but as to the apportionment of players by the 13-club league little Is known further than that KubIo goes back to New York. Tho new League promul gated its constitution, In which It ap pears that four Association teams are assessed something like $10,000 eaoh toward the fund to buy out the other clubs. In addition to this 10 per cent, of their gate receipts will ba appropri ated to assist raising a sinking fund of $25,000. The new league Is formed ostensibly to endure 10 years, and ono clause says that It cannot disband without (ha unanimous consont of tho 12 clubs. Section 8, however, says that the mem bership ot any club may be terminated for any one of eight reasons, one of which is by resignation, fully accepted by a three-fourths rotes of all the elubs. The others are for failures to comply with the constitution. Seotlon 48 says: "The general admission fee to all championship games shall bo 30 cents, but each club shall designate a part of Its grounds, and provide seats thereon, the admission foe to which shall be 23 oen'ts. This permits the 23-cent towns Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Louisville, St. Louis and posstbly Pitts burg to have 25-cent baseball, If thoy so desire, and they do, while the largei cities can keep within the constitution by marking oil a plot no larger than a box stall.

Fowick Preuchn la th3 Mothodist Episcopal Church on "Lessons From tho County iLStltUtO." Lossons for tho Church from the Omnty Institute" wasthothomo of Sunday even- tng's discourso at tho M6thodlst Episcopal church. Tho flret of thoso was drawn from the exclusion of every trace of rehgn us exercises from tho pre cccdlngs of thj in stitute jut closed in Shenandoah. Ii a pagan bad participated in tho proceedings ho could novor have suspoctod from any formal provision ol tho programmo that tho corner slone ol our government is the bible and that its hope is in Ood. It la a suggestive fact that ovory such roloretico came Incidentally from the Instructors from abroad in spite of such exclusion, Tb.s ie the ono criticism ho had to mako upon it. And this might be pussod by but for the concession to tho enemies of our public school system which It exhibits. Tha ad vocates of, exclusively parochial schools tolorato our public school sjstim becauso they cannot help it. But thoro is a con certed eflort to undermine them by show ing that they are godltss, and In order to give color tothe charge the introduction of any sort of religious oxercists Is persistently opposed. The stale bus no tight to train sectarians. But the reading of tho bible and the cflbiing of prayer are not soclarian act:, but essential elements of true pa triolism in citizens of this gloat nation who profess that its Ood Is tho Lord and its foundation is 11 is word, The church needs to learn that educators may bo careful about the culture of the mind and abso lutely regardless of tho culture ot tho heart. But an educated scoundrel la still a scoun drel with his scoundrollsm lodupllcalod by his education. EtAnotber loEEon is that in sanctlfiedSenterpriso Ltho church has not kept paco with the march of improve. ment in other centers of life. In one sense tho church is incapablo ot Improve mont. The old fashioned gospol cannot be Improved upon but methods of teaching It and of bringing men undor its influence may bo. Tho school exhibits showed us tho stride ?m&de,'in educational methods since wo were boys and girls. Can tho church match them in Us own sphere? Are not the children of this world wisor in their generation than tho children of light. Another lesson was that tho church, and not tho school, possesses tho truo secret of regonerative power. One almost trembled at tho scientific demonstrations of the tyranny of hereditary traits and early vice and the impossibility of self-reform as il lustrated at tho institute. But what did it all amount to but a demonstration of tho old fashioned doctrine of Paul that "tho carnal mind Is enmity against Ood and is not subject to tho law of Ood noitber in deed can bo." Thus St. Paul and Dr, Dalllot clasp bands across the centuries. Theology and science roach the same con clusion by different processes. The dif feronce between them is, scleno can go no ftrther but theology can. Tho badly born aad badly trained may begin life again. Ho may be born again oven from above. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. This power is beyond tho domain of science. Science comes to its help however, and by Its doetrinos of horodity and environment confirms its fundamental doctrines of moral wreckage and eo clears the track and gives tho gospel tho right of way.
