The "peerless leader," as he was
known to baseball fans,- previously
had piloted a Chicago flub as pinna

Chicago National league team. He
succeeded Salee as manager of the
Cubs in 1905.
The Chicago Cubs won three Na

world's championships ^ during tho
time Chance was their manager.
Chance became a member of the
Cubs almost as a boy, playing first
behind the bat.
Later, at the height of the Cub's
streak, he was known as the keynote
of the famous baseball triangle of
Tinker. Evers and Chance. With
Tinker at shortstop, Evers at second
and ( hance at first, the trio became
famous for their ability to make
doul'.i: play's.

M?t livxhst s are looking forward;

program should be carried out in
more than four hundred church?* in
the South Carolina Conference, and,
according to reports received by Miss
Mary Lemmon, Conference Klemen
thry Superintendent, at Orangeburg,
unusual interest is being manifested
in this year's observance of the an

features of the program: Home visit

forward step in the interests of the
children.
The observance of this week is be

Duting the week preceding Chil
dren's Week, every Sunday school
teacher of children up to twelve
years of age is expected to visit in
the homes of the pupils, which will
give teachers a better understanding
of their scholars and a deeper sym
pathy for their special . problems.
During these visits the attention of
the parents will bo directed to the
parents' meeting and urged to attend.
The parents' mooting is the chief
event of Children's- Week. Promi
nent speakers will make addresses
upon such themes as "Home Atmos
phere," "Training Children in
Worship," and other helpful topics.
During this meeting a specially ap
pointed committee should prp*tt?nfr.
urgent needs for the children of the
community, and ask the parents to
undertake one of them and seek to
accomplish it.

Corporate limits of the town. When
it developed that the promoters were
members of the Mor.mon or I.atter

to if rant the privilege. After consult
ing a number of attorneys, the people
who are interested, say they will pro
ceed with their plans regardless uf
the action of the council, because they
have been advised* that the constitu

civil and religious liberty toward all
of its citizens. It is said that work on
the structure will commence within
