He was one of the basebaJl fellows who sat with me unit day on the curb stone In Chicago. He hac come to the end of the road His strengm was gone. His l'fc was wrecked. His hopes were shattered. He spurned the offer of Divine help and strength that I took that day wneii it was offered to us througu that Mission girl. He had tried to play the game of life alone in his own strength. He passed third base with a shattered, broken, sin-scarred body. Worn, weary, strengthicss. helpless he went down before he reached the home plate, and tne Great Umpire pronounced the awful words: "You are out.” ftien start out in life together. One cays: "1 will go.” And be goes. He goes In h’§ own strength. Follows bis own ideals, his own opinions. He achieves many things. He accumu lates, it may be. large possessions.
