J. CLARKE’S BOWLING FEAT. The match at Mill Hill, on Saturday,


was remarkable for another capital bowling feat by J. Clarke, who was mainly respon­ sible for uimbling nut the home team for 50 runs. In 14 overs he claimed seven | wickets for only 10 runs. Against the Railway Clerks, the previous week, he took six for nine, so that h's average thus far is 13 wickets for 19 runs! The visitors won by eight wickets, 'v.

rve match, like the one Read would have provided at Chatbum road, should be ruined by rain. CUtheroe have had two home matches thus far, and both have had to be abandoned. The name of Moss is something to conjure with yet, and thisre was reason to hope that the encounter would assist the club’s finances. 'Bu# rain fell heavUy. Shortly after 4


o’clock, however, a start was made. Read batting. ' At 10, Mayor was caught and b.iwled by Dowiiham;' and 'that was tne end of play, rain again descending and driving the players to the shelter of the


pavilion, '


and played in the rain. Their however, was the same as it would have been had thev not left the pavilion. The homesters had first knock, Jackson and Wood making a capital start. The score stood at «'6 before the first wicket feU. Two more, however, fell for the addition of only two runs, the score being carried to 81 for four. Lund and Binder made another pro­ fitable stand for the fifth wcket, and the innings was declared with six wickets down for 123. Bradlev was the most succ^ful trundler with two for 27. Cave took two


for 32. and Ashworth one for 10. The Baxenden wickets fell rapidly at


the start, three having gone for 11. jCTkm- son .nnd Clayton, however, put the b r^ e on. and when -stumps were drown, the visitors had lost six for 47. Bowker and R Jack-son howled unchanged, the former having four for 24, and the latter, one

On the whole we make too iniich of faults; llie


Bishop spoke on baptism. In baptism, he said, they were each made a member of Christ and a child of God. Their baptism declared in the first place what they were to God, and, 'm the second place, what they were to the church. They were received in baptism into Christ’s holy church. That was the reason they had God-parents. People sometimes asked why they had God parents saying it was the dutj of the father and mother to see that the child was Christianly brought up. "1 he answer was quite .simple, for .at Iraptism they were admitted into a new family. He would not say that they were taken out of the old family, but they were certainly admitted into a new one. They were all of one family, and if one in a home set a bad example, it was ruining the home. It was exactly the same in the Church of Christ, for those who set a bad example injured that rismg part of the family of Christ for which they were re sponsible. He had heard people say that there was no good hr confirmation. If the congregation, and particularly the commun- ic;iut.s did not care about the children that were baptised, and d'd not trouble whcit kind of an example they set them, was it any wonder that they saw no good in con­ firmations? In their ceremony of laying on of hands, their position as a child of God was confirmed; they were confirmed in the knowledge of it, and they were assured of Gorl's favour and goodness towards them. Why did they pray that they might in­ crease in God's Holy Spirit? It was that thev might be fruitful to the Church ot God. Each member of God's church h'ad his or her own particular gift, and every lime that gift was used the Holy opirit strengthened it. He thanked God tTiat there were so many dear people who were increasing in God’s Holy Spirit, not only for iheir own good, but because of a desire to help the church. If they had only a small gif't they must not despise it. H thev used the gift, however small, for the help of the church, God would incre^c it. He. knew that the candidates presenf that niglit were anxious to live good and useful lives, but they knew nothing yet of_ the temptations they had lo face. The biggest temptation of all was to forget that thpy were children oF God and begin to act in a selfish manner, thinking only of them­ selves ; thinking only of their own ease and comfort, and feeling that they were respon­ sible to nobody but themselves. How many were there who used to teach in the Sunday school, visit the sick, and take round magazines, and who now said they were going to look after themselves and leave the work of the younger people? He dared not think of the answer they would give to God, but he knew that they were par- aly.sing the Church of God.

Society is full of men and women who wear pain and mis­ fortune as garments whicli appeal to sympathy, instead of bearing tliese burdens as a .soldier wears on iiis back the pack wliich i.s the sign of his profession. The experience Avliieh, intelli- fentiy met, Avould make them more tlioiightfiil of others turns their thoughts on themselves, and Mislead of becoming heroes they become egotists, and add to the depres.son of tlie world instead of reinforcing its courage and cheerful­ ness. Tn its best e.state and in its higlie.st con­ dition life is a fight, not a truce; a struggle, not an jtchievement; a growth, not a pleav^ure; a dmcipline, not a relaxation. The man wlio wins it.s real succosses is not he who has the most perfect liealUi, but ho avIio bears discn.se and mifffortune with silent coinage and gain.s from them a more daring spirit; who meets failure As intwe re veiled victory; who challenges death by ignoring its fearful airpect, tearing off its mask,’and meeting it witli a smile.


Society needs every reinforcement of its faith
