tucir enteftprise, and
lias the wiJj in their
own/’craftiness, and is not the counsel
of the froward carried headlong? And
what shall be said of the occurrences
of modern history? Had God any
thing to do with the earthquake in
San Francisco; the burning of the Gen
eral Schofield, and the sinking of the
Titanic? Of the latter event it is
said that in the last moments of that
fated vessel's remaining afloat, all
classes of people prayed, and the band
played until the very end, “Nearer, My
God, to Thee.” And what was this
but recognition of God, and possibly
with many, too late?
To say that God has nothing td do
with these things on the ground of
that it would be violence to the reign
of law, dishonoring to him as an in
finite being, and entirely relieve man
of moral responsibility, is really not
worthy of serious consideration. The
consciousness of God’s immanence in
all such things would be a deterrent
from sin on the part of some, and
would be an incentive to good on the
part of others.
How are men to know God? Simply
by being still. By searching, men can
not find out God. As David would lie
in the fields at night and look up into
the starry heavens, it -would not be
for the purpose of finding out God,
but as he gazed he could not help
but exclaim: “When I consider the
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and the stars, which thou hast
created, what is man that thou art
mindful of him, or the son of man that
thou visitest him?” As Moses would
have Israel to recognize God, he said:
"Stand still, and see the salvation of
God.” As Isaiah would have Israel
see wherein their strength lay, he said
they should sit still. So the method
of knowing God is to just keep the
eyes and ears open, to stop, look, lis
ten —God is here, there, everywhere.
The results of this will be a more
serious consideration of one’s obliga
tion to God. The life of the Christian
will be made richer, and as the dark
ness of the hereafter iq approached,
there will be a preparation to meet
God, with whom, whether he will or
will not, man has much to do. To
know God, and him whom he has sent,
is everlasting life.
When the dust of business so fills
your room that it threatens to choke
you, sprinkle it with the water of
prayer, and then you can clean it out
with comfort and expedition.—James

Only in a world where there is suf
fering could God prove that he is love.

BRAINY BASE RUNNERS
Wagner and Cobb, Two Bag
Stealers, Use Judgment.
Pittsburg Dutchman Made Many Dou
bles by Stretching Pure Singles Into
Two-Baggers—Georgia Peach Stud
ies Pitchers.
Proper base running, such as the
New York Giants indulge in, consists
in taking chances without being too
reckless. Nothing is ever gained by
the conservative runner who sticks
close to his base until the ball is hit
over the fence. The followers of the
old army game will win only a small
portion of the games for a ball club.
On the other hand, the reckless run
ner, who is always getting pinched
off at the most critical stages, is
about equally worthless. A combina
tion of aggressiveness and caution is
the right dope for successful base
running. A better way to put it would
be aggressiveness tempered by good
judgment. Every pitcher has plenty
of little signs unknown to himself
which an observant runner can soon
get next to. If more base runners use
their brains to detect these signs and
take advantage of them there would
be more bases stolen. The man who
is smart enough always to take an ex
tra base -when the opportunity offers
is the winning player.
For years Wagner of Pittsburg -led
the league in two-base hits. He was
a hard hitter, to be sure, but the rea-
Ty Cobb.
son he always led in doubles was be
cause he stretched so many pure sin
gles into two-baggers by his clever
running. When in his prime Wagner
always came down to first base like
'the wind and made the turn at full
speed. Nine times out of ten on the
ordinary hit he would have to stop
and hold first base.. Tb.e t :
IfccueraJßiuld V- "a slights furejß* . A
lay in‘handling the ball in
and he would go on to second. The
extra base might win the ball game.
Cobh earned his fame by studying
all opposing players, especially pitch
ers. He knows every move that is
going to be made by certain men and
just what it means. He watches the
outfielders and soon knows what their
way of handling the ball on the ground
is, whether they will get it away
quickly or not, and what kind of
throwers they are. If a man shows a
tendency to slowness or inaccuracy
Cobb makes a mental note of the fact,
and the next time he hits to that field
he is likely to take an extra base.

Honus Wagner.
Cobb excels all other players, not so
much in speed as in brains and pow
ers of observation. While most ath
letes play a fairly conservative and
mechanical game Cobb is always pull
ing something and getting away with
it that no one else would attempt.
His work looks reckless, but it is not
so reckless as it looks, because he has
the dope on opposing players.
Donovan to Succeed Jennings.
"Wild Bill” Donovan may be man
ager of the Tigers next season if the
team does not take a sudden brace in
its playing. “I am not at all satisfied
with the way are going. Jea
nings appears to have lost his hold on
the men,” said Owner Navin. “They
seem to have no confidence in his
judgment. Our pitchers have been
handled poorly and the team shows
little science. As Jennings has a con
tract for this year we shall not make
any change right now.”

BROKE OUT IN HEAT RASH
822 Georgia Ave., East Nashville,
Tenn. —“My baby was about two
months old when he began to break
out in small red pimples like heat
rash, afterward turning into festers.
They gradually spread until his little
head, face, groins and chest, his head
being most affected, became a mass
of sores with a great deal of corrup
tion. It became offensive and gradual
ly grew worse. I kept a white cap on
him to keep him from scratching, it
seemed to itch so badly. It made him
cross and his chest and groins would
often bleed.
“Nothing seemed to help it, and I
had almost come to the conclusion
that my baby’s case was hopeless,
when hearing of the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment, I decided to try it.
I noticed at once that baby rested bet
ter. I continued it for a few weeks and
my baby was entirely cured by the Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment. They cured
where all others failed.” (Signed)

Making Cheese in Olden Days.
Cheese was made hy the old-time
farmers in the summer on the co-op
erative plan by which four cattle own
ers owning say 14 milch cows, received
all the milk night and morning, ac
cording to the daily yield of their
little herd. Thus given two families
having five cows each, one with three
and one with one, supposing that the
average yield per cow was the same,
in two weeks, two owners would make
five cheeses each; one would press
three, and one only one cheese, but
this one would be as good and as large
as any of the rest. —“Nobility of the

SOLACE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days of Suffering.
Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger is always
beside them, and they are schooled to
believe that any time they will come
face to face with death. The result of
this is that they are humorous in
their boldness. ,
In one of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was a cave-in w'hich imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. TbH
aecMree’e ’nappwaed on Fri&ay—
noon, and the fellow laborers of thll
entombed man set to work at once to-'
dig him out. It was not until Sunday
morning, however, that they reached
his prison chamber, and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death.
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks of
the rescuers and called out:
“Jack, are you all right?”
“All right,” came the reply, and
then after a pause: “What day Is
this?”
“Sunday!” exclaimed the friend.
“Gee!” exclaimed Jack, “I’m glad of
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn’t get
my wages.”—Popular Magazine.
Shock for a Brother.

“Just say,” explained the doctor,
“that the masseur is with me.”
A little later the doctor’s brother
called —called and received the shock
of his life.
"I want to see the doctor at once,”
said he.
“Yuh can’t do it, sur,” ; solemnly an
nounced the old darkey, turning up
his eyes till the whites alone showed.
