Did lt ever oc mr to you that the South Carolina boy tossed away what to most of us would be a neat little fortune by his dislike for Philadelphia and the men whe work for Connie Mack? "Jackson hit so many home runs in Sreenvtlle, S. C., in 1908, that Connie Mack sent a scoot down that way tc look him over, and the result war that Joseph Joined the club that fall But he didn't stay long. Ho said h< waa homesick, and hopped a train for the Booth. Connie sent for him right away, bat could not keep bim ind it was the same old story the fol lowing spring, Jackson would not stay with the Athletics-, and when be did, he played like an amateur. "It ls said that Jackson's excuse waa that the Athletics had too many collegians. It waa his misfortune to ba a poor boy with virtually no educa tion, and he felt ont of place with the cultured men on the Mack team. Con ate bad to give Jackson up. and final ly, when he needed an outfielder in 1910 to win the flag, he got Bris Lord from Cleveland, with the understand ing that the Naps might pull Jackson In from the, minor league and give him a trial. . "Jackson liked Cleveland. He soon developed into the star that Meek knew ho was, and has been Cobb's principal rival for batting honors ever since?. This season Jackson has n good chance to finish antad ot tho De i roil master of the base hit. But what has Jackson missed? "Well, thc Mackmen did capture the pennant in 1910, beat the Cubs in thc world's series, and each player got a check for $2,062.79. Again in 1911 Connie's machine got the big purse.by reason of a triv.mpb over the Glauts, and the Individual reward was $3, 654.59. In 1913 the second victory over the Gaints netted each Athletic player t3.246.36. By simple addition you will find that Jackson's bank ac count is shy exactly $8,963.74 be cause he did not like the Mackmen und Philadelphia. And thc purse this year will mean several more thous* audi1. "Figure, too, the added prestige in being with a world's championship team.

WHITE LEAVES Ends Last Sermon With an Earn est Appeal for a Thorough Cleansing of Anderson. The last of thc great series of ser vices that have been conducted at the Baptist church during the past ten days came to a close Inst night, and Di-. White left on Mie t?:43 car for his home in Atlanta. !1 . was a wonderful meeting in every way and much and .lasting good has been accomplished in the church and in the town. In the morning Dr. White spoke from the text. John 10:20. "Sir. we would see JCBUB." He spoke of the close personal touch with the Saviour Christ, an ever pres ent, ever available comrade. Did the Creeks really want to see Jesus or was it curiosity, or did they long to know him as Lord? To see Jesus is to be in earnest in your heart for which you are willing to pay the price. You can not have Jesus as a toy. You mus tcount the cost and be so in earnest as to follow Him. The! Jewish nation would not receive him and it was a curse to them. | John the Baptist wanted to see him. ' When h.- saw him he had to pay the price. "He must increase, but I must decrease." He paid tho price and it made him one of the world's greatest men. Zaccheus wanted to see him, but lt cost him four times what he had from others, but he rose to the occa-1 sion. . If you see him you must give up everything to him and let him rule , over your life. If Americans succeed as Christians we muBt be willing to realise that we are not independent of him. Wie must let him control us. These men of the text seem to have some obstacle in tho way of seeing Jesus. The disciples are between ' I them. Andrew goes to Peter about lt. They are responsible for it being difficult to see Jesus. So now, where ls Jesus? Whv ls it hard for the world to see Jesus? Men know that Jesus is for them but doubt the church. The church must reveal J ?su H Mtho. thT hide bim. If Christian? 00 not lead the world to Bte Jesus in their own Ilvrs the world will go more and m/>rc away from the church. Let's not1 make it hard for mon to know and | soe Jesus. These disciples were in the way < with their officialism. Thc less offl- ? clalism the more real service there ls In our churches, the more we please God. Perhaps these Greeks wouldn't accent Judaism and so could n't get Into thc temple to see Jesus. But there ought to bc no place where a sinner can not see Jesus. Giving un themselves and every thing they had and living their lives for service, is the pfl?e the apostles paid before they became ?-hc!:>- h's and Just in proportion as you give ; yourself to service can you live a life of glorv and honor. You muBt be forgiven and redeemed, filled with his presence and then you can bring oth ers into tho life of radiant unselfish ness. ? At night Dr. White's subject was "The Kingdom of Heaven." In the Scripture lesson for the evening he read of men of valor, faithful and true, utterly devoted to their captain. David, ready and willing to do his slightest wish. Their passionate pur pose was to make David.king and so we learn a lesson from this, the ono absolute purpose or a'Christian's life! is to make Jesus king. Why do we J want to make Christ king in South Carolina? In Anderson? Because it is the passionate desire of Jesus to be king. That ie the one for whlcb he came the ab so rt bg aim of his Ufe* was to set up the kingdom of Ged. Almost two-thirds of the words he ut tered during his life were about the kingdom. He said if any man started for the kingdom and turned back he was not fib for the kingdom. We want him because it would be such a blessing to humanity. We ought to be tired of everything go ing wrong. ' Will you try to imagine your town and community without Christ? Do you know why you have as macy blessings as you 'have? Do yon 4cnow why your town is worth liv ing In? It is because it is enthroned in some hearts. One r>"-??h ls worth more than a dozen p."cemen. The safety and happiness of people are in proportion to th" measure of the kingdom of God in the hearts of the people Women and children setter, because of so many Godless women. Make Christ king because he wants to be and because the people need him. How and where may we do this? First. Crown him in your churches -there first of all. It 1? his bride. Second. Make him. king in your city and community. The town shapes your boy and girl. Their lives are influenced 'by it. Whisks y may not get you, bnt it may get yonr boy. The only cities in the world where Christ hss won out are Edelburg, Scotland, and Toronto, Canada. Thom as Chalmers and Thomas Guthrie did the work in Bdenburg.
