He used his‘1 head. but his conclusions were as, often wrong as right. 1 "Parabolitis” Thorpe being a college chappie, thought up a name for his ailment while with the Giants. He said he was afflicted with parabolitis, which, ac- cording to Jim. is a disease which pre- vents a man from getting the proper hitting slant on a curve ball. Thorpe’s failure: to make good under the main tent is but another proof of the theory made. A successful ball player is -L1_1-LA Thorpe bein thought up a while with the afflicted with ‘1‘“KI \,. o v- â€" something more than an athlete. Use 0 fBrassey Often Good, Rather Risky A spared arassey shot to the green from a distance that should really be a full cleek or mid-iron play is one of the most satisfactory shots, but it is often a risky one to attempt. The general idea is to take an open stance, the ball midway between the feet; to slip the hands somewhat down the. leather. to take only a medium swing, and to hold back in restraint instead of putting ginger into the stroke. There is always the risk _..L- Lkn but. Dbl unnv. _. of getting too much steam into the swing and of bringing up into trouble beyond the green. A spared shot should be a high 0116; your low, raking, rifle-bullet sort will generally carry or roll on into trouble. Height from a brassey is as valuable as drag from an iron to check a roll on the green. The open ‘ stance and shortened grip will have their effect in pitching up the ball, and will make the spared shot. a suc- 0083. One of the original reasons for the creation of the brassey was to get the ball away from the ruts or stones on a road. Such roads are few and far between as hazards on Ameri- can courses. which is a good thing, but there are enough of them at St. Andrews and crossing other links in Scotland to keep the brassey in use for its early purpose. hef hi1 ATHLETE A FAILURE wor} .V- -vâ€" v" A brassey shot from a down slope is always risky. but often necessary. From such a lie the ball has been played well toward the green by tak- ing a stance that puts the left foot forward. so as to get an open target to hit at. A short, quick swing did the rest. and sent the ball afloat on the blue empyrean as if it had wings. The main thing, after all, when you pull out the brassey is “to get there!” Famous One’s first impression of Hugh Jenâ€" nings is that he possesses shrewdness to an extraordinary degree.

In the lesson of two weeks ago we}. saw Paul and Silas leaving Philippi after the night of wonderful events: Before they departed they comfortedi the household of Lydia and the broth-i ren, who had no doubt heen much in' prayer for them (chapter xvi, 40). He , would no doubtcomfort them, as he ’. did in his letter to them. by the as- z;surance that all that had happened l had fallen out rather unto the further- : ance of the gospel, and as his great 3, desire was “by all means to save some" he could and did rejoice in spite “ of all his sufferings and shameful 1 treatment (Phil. 1. 12. 18; 1 Cor. ix, 22). VII-WW-.â€" His next place of testimony was Thessalonica, Where in the Jewish synâ€" , agogue for three Sabbath days he tea? soned with them out of the Scriptures, working between times at his trade night and day that he might not be any expense to them (Thess. ii, 8, .9). The gospel he preached was in the power of the Holy Spirit. for he spoke not as pleasing men. but God. who trieth our hearts; and they received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth the word of God. and it effectual- ly worked in those who believed. . leading them to turn to God from , idols to serve the living and true God 3 and to wait for His Son from heaven. who had delivered them from the ‘Wrath to come (I Thess. i..9, 10; ii. 3. 13). Judging from the two epistles L __ L-\-- 4hr. fircf \\ UU uuu uv-u- -- _ wrath to come (1 Thess. i. t, 10; ii. 13). Judging from the two epistles to the Thessalonians. probably the first that Paul wrote. we cannot help no- ticing how fully he must have instruct- ed them in the coming again of the Lord Jesus. both His coming for and His coming with His saints (1 Thess. i, 9, 10; ii, 19; iii, 13; iv, 16-18; v, 23). Then in his second epistle be cleared up for them some ditiicnlties which they had concerning His coming in glory and the L ‘ of the Lord. The effect of this sadly neglected but glorious doctrine is al- * ways, as I have seen it for over forty , years, to make peorile more eager to : tell out the glad tidings and to labor he kingdom (I Thess. i, 3, S). In verse 3 of our lesson we note that Paul opened to rise again from the dead. hut can you teachers who read this do that? ‘ Do you see the promise of a deli'vét'ér and the way of salvation and the as- surance of resurrection glory in Gen. i iii, 15,21, 24?
