THOUGHT FOR THE DAY—
Take my yoke upon you, and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls. (Matthew
11:29). Read Matthew 11:28-30.
- The story is told of a traveler
in the Near East who asked a Turk-
ish youth if he had learned to be
a Christian at Robert College in
Istanbul. “Oh, no!’ the youth re-
plied. “I am not a Christian. I am
only a humble follower of Jesus.”
The young man could lay a
stronger claim to the sacred rela-
tionship than many of us who un-
thinkingly say we are Christians.
For to be a Christian is, first of all,
to be a humble follower of Jesus. It
means being a pupil in His school
and an apprentice in His way of
living.
When the first Christians ac-
they enrolled in His school with
Him as teacher. But it was more
than an ordinary school: it was
apprenticeship in living. Their
whole lives were changed by this
contact with Him. They found a
religion, a practical faith to live
by. So may we, if we humble our-
selves before Him and accept His
invitation to learn of Him.
PRAYER
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
enroll us in the school of Christ to-
day. Help us in faith te believe in
the teaching of the Master and pat-
tern our lives after His spirit. For
His sake. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Jesus is the way, the truth,
and the life. :

By TOM MAKRAVITZ
Completing their ninth week of
games, teams of the League, with
the exception of Trucksville Meth-
odist, are bunched tighter than
ever with each team fighting for a
play-off berth.
In games completed last week,
Trucksville continues to rule the
roost. - Shavertown and Huntsville
are tied for second place, and St.
Therese’s, a top runner through
most of the season, has dropped to
third. St. Paul's, with a string of
three straight victories, and East
Dallas are tied for what seems the
other play-off position. Although
extending each opponent to the
limit, Alderson and Dallas have
failed to come up with any kind of
winning streak.
Shavertown Tops Alderson
With Bill Oney dropping in 13
points and Malkemes 6, Shavertown
finished strong to outlast a game
Alderson five. Searfoss with 11 and
Cornell with 9 were the point mak-
ers for the Lake team.
Huntsville handed St. Therese’s
its third defeat in four games. With
Llewellyn hitting for 12 points and
Charlie Brobst 9, the Huntsville
team had little trouble with the
Hilltoppers. Piznar with 10 and
McGarry, Kocher and Lohman with
8 led the offense for the Saints.
Final score, Huntsville 47, St. The-
rese’s 37.
With Fine and Sherrin opposing
Dymond and Fowler in a scoring
duel which ended about even, the
height of the Trucksville team
proved the deciding factor in a
game of thrills. Fine with 13 and
Sherrin’s 19 points matched the 20
for Dymond and 11 for Fowler.
Final score Trucksville 56, East Dal-
las 48.
Scoring its third straight victory,
St. Paul's served notice it is a team
to be reckoned with from here on
in. Turning Wilson and Morgan
loose for 17 and 12 points, the
Saints dumped Dallas Methodist by
a 48 to 38 score. Templin with 17
and Drake with 5 led the Dallas
entry.
All Star Game
On Sunday afternoon, February
22 at 3:00 o'clock a team of All
Stars from the Church League un-
der the direction of Tom Makravitz
and assisted by Earl Fritges will
oppose the Naval Reserve team in a
game for the March of Dimes. This
contest will be played in King’s
College gym. Kenneth Kirk, league
referee will donate his services, and
the Reserve Drill Team will put on
an exhibition.
The following players will report
to Tom Makravitz at 2:00 p.m. at
King’s gym:
Richards, Fine, Trucksville; Sto-
larick, St. Therese’s; Sedler, Dallas;
Gross, Huntsville; Searfoss, Garin-
ger, Alderson; Dymond, East Dallas;
Porter, Hons, Shavertown; Morgan,
St. Paul's. ‘
