The people of Blyth will be pleased to learn that Rev. It. J. bloody is prepar- ing to issue the second edition of a book written by himself and entitled "Scien- tific Basis of Sabbath and Sunday.' It first appeared over a year and a half ago and in less than 12 mouths after the edition was all sold. The book has tnade a profound impression on the scholars who have examined it and re- gard it 00 0 standard Tu that clans of literature. The ideas contained in the book are new and scientific. and will no doubt permanently settle the great Sab- bath controversy. On the title {)ego appears the follow- ing: "Scientific Basis of Sabbath and Sunday; a now investigation atter the manner and methods of Modern science, revealing the true origin and exact na- ture of the Jewish Sabbath and the Lord's day, for the purpose of ascer- taining their real significance and pro- per observance, by Rev. Robert John Floody, Master of Science (Albion col- lege), Bachelor of Sacred Theology (Boston university), member of the American Association for the Advance• meet of Science." Mr. Fleetly hoe gone into the early history of the various tribes and nations and has found all over the world a seventh holy day. He brings a vest amount c( evidence 10 show that the heathen seventh days aro due to moon worship, When rite new moon, full moon and the two half moons first ap- peared the natives worshipped them and rested from labor for fear of anger- ing the moon god. These four quarters of the moon are about seven days apart, thus constituting the week and the seventh. day sabbath of the heathen peoples. The second part of the hook treats of the seventh day of the Heb- rews. It first shows how much the Hebrews copied of neighboring critics, then traces the development of the Sub - bath through the different stages of their religious growth, using to good advantage the result of modern scholar- ship regardiug the Bible. The third part deals with the Lord's day in which he shows conclusively that it is a new and independent insti- tution, having an origin and develop• ment of its owu. The hook ends with a practical application of the Lord's day observance to Sunday railroading, Sun- day papers, baseball, etc. The book contains 27 chapters and 665 pages, Wo wlderetaud it has taken about 10 years of research to secure the material presented in the book. It evi- dently reveals painstaking work and wide readings, as there is o vast amount of matter selected the world over from works on religion, science, history, bio- graphy, travels, literature, folk -lore, etc. Blyth may feel justly proud that one of her boys has become an author and has produced a work of such great merit and scholarship. Sports and Pastimes. The famous Irish Nine baseball club of Lunan has sent a challenge to the Blyth club, and arrangements are now under way for a game between these two clubs. The Irish Nine played in St. 'Phonies a few days ago, when George, their Indian pitcher, struck out 26 of the St. 'Thomas batsmen. In speaking of the baseball match between'Teeswater and Kincardine, the Teeswater News of lest week trade the following reference to the famous Blyth battery: "'fhe Teeswater battery, P. 11. Douglas and D. Somers, did excep- tionally good work and were far superior to their opponents. Douglas struck out 22 Killeen! i!lei tem." At Rosenberg, 'Texas, the baseball event of tate season was a game between the Rosenberg team and four young men by the name of Waddell for a puree of $50. llreat interest was taken in the game, it being generally consid- ered an impossibility for four men to beat nine, as the Rosenberg team was considered extra good. At the end of the third inning the score was 8 to 7, and then the four Reuheus gut down to business, the final score being48 to 14 in favor of the four Weddell brothers. The game Was witnessed by 500 people, and about $900 changed hands on the result. As the result of queer driving in the 2.19 pace, the last event on Friday's card at the }flue Ribbon meeting of the Detroit Driying club at Grease Pointe track, Driver Al Proctor, who was bo - hind Darker, owned by Mr. J. E. Swans, of 113 iugham, was fined $200 and suspended far 80 days; Driver Vance Nickels, who was behind Theron Powers, was fined 8200, and all bets and pools were declared off, Berkey opened fav- orite for the race at 817, with the field M. The Canadian horse won this heat with ease, finishing under a pull. For the Second heat Joe !thea opened at 6 to 1 and was backed off the boards. Joe Rhea trailed after Darkey to the upper turn, where he came awry and won by more than a length. The time was 271 seconds slower than the firet heat, but Darksy did not seem to have the speed shown the first time around. When the horses appeared for the third heat Driver ,Ben Walker had superseded Proctor in Darkey'a sulky, but this ar- rangement did not suit the 'edges, who already decided to unseat Proctor and bays Driver Jack Curry behind Dirket,. Curry worked Da4,key op and down ,the stretch, the horse acting queerl,v. Then he dismounted and, shaking his Lead, went up for a eonseltation with the judges. lie flnaily came down to the track again end mounted the sulky, and the horses jogged back for the start. J00 Rhea was then ruling favorite at 626. with the field $20. Theron Powers, who had finished fifth in the preceding heat, which was won in 2.241, trailed along third until the stretch, whore he took the lead and Won by a comfortable margin in 2.12$, This made Theron Powers favorite, Rud the gelding took the fourth heat haudily, winning first looney. Blyth defeated Winghanl at baseball on the Agricultural park on Saturday last. The Blyth players aro feeling quiteubilant over their victory, and well they might, as Winghani 13 sup• posed to have the crackerjack baseball team in Western Ontario, having met with only two defeats this season- Berlin and Blyth, The summary fol- lows:- Blyth- R 0 Win//Lam- H 0 D. &rheic a a 3 Kent ih and p... 3 1 Porterfield, se1 4 Walsh, p and lb. 0 4 Stewart, rf1 3 Lookeridge, 3b... 1 2 SloArter 2b1 2 Hemmed, se... . 1 3 Moliay,elt 1 9 Armour, o.... ,,. 0 4 Allison, 10 1 0 lfatteubury, if.... 0 3 Somata, 11 1 9 .

Brussels defeat- ed the visitors by a score of 4 to 1. The playing 0108 exceedingly fast, beautiful combinations being worked by both teams. Bruseels had the better of the game in the first half ; the score at that time stood 2 to 0 hi favor of Brussels. When play was resumed in the second half Berlin succeeded in scoring their only goal ae a result of a slip on the part of Goalkeeper Kerr. This done, the play was all Brussels, two more goals being scored by the home team in short order. The game all tlirough was fast and exciting, and lnuoll better than the note indicates. Brussels Leanis to be congratulated on winning over eneli a fast aggregation as Berlin. WRY YOUR HELP. Beeson* Urged for Helping the Fre* Hospital for Consumptives. Ix the letters being received by Sir Wm, R. Meredith, Mr. W. .1. Gage and other trustees of the National Sanitar- ium Association, containing contribu- tions for the tarnishing of the new Free Hospital for Consumptives in Muskoka, some very forceful reasons are given why this work should be completed with the least possible delay. The fact that so many are waiting for admittance to the free hospital those whom death may overtake if too great delay is experienced -is perhaps the most urgent of all reasons for opening the doors of the Free Consumption Hospi- ta! quickly. Tho splendid record of the work done In the Muskoka Cottage sanatorium -the many cures effected and the many helped to new life -is evidence that the Associa- tion is working along right lines. But of the letters t Mr. H. P. Dwight, in sending a contribution of $100, says :- "I have had special opportunities of knowing of the good that bas been done by means of the Muskoka Sanatorium, and I feel that it is only right to state that it is hardly possible to conceive of any enterprise in the Dominion more worthy of support and encouragement." A prominent Toronto manufaoturer, who stipulated that bis name should not be used, and enclosing $50, says :-" I wish you great success, and on behalf of the whole community, for whom you are so strenuously and practically working, I otei you sincere thanks." A citizen of one of our northern towns, who has opportunity from time to time to study condition' in (fravenhurst, sends $50, and writes;-" We often speak of the good work in which you aro engaged, and often while at Gravonhurst we had an opportunity of seeing some of the benefits of the same. May God prosper you in your noble work is our eiuoere wish," Crossley and Hunter, the well- known evangelists, in "ending their cheque for 650 from their home in Bt. Thomas on New Year's Day, say 2- " We feel confident that if people could visit the Sanatorium that has been in exist - "nee for yearn, and become impressed, as we were by our visit, as to the 000011enee and necessity of the Institution and the good work that is being done, they would feel it a most desirable opportunity and e rare joy to have a share in furnishing the new Free Hospital." These letters might be largely multi- plied. They all toll the one story of the practical and helpful character of the methods adopted to assist the consump- tive to health. The new hospital draws very nearly to completion. Within a few weeks it will be safe to announce that workmen are entirely out of the building, so generously given by two Toronto citizens, Furnuhtpg and equip- ping is the immediate work. Whilst the trustees feel grateful for the hearty re- sponses in many ways to their appeal yet a much larger sum roust be secured iu order to furnish and equip eo that patients can be at ono admitted.5Con- tributions, large or small, will help to this end, and the hope is that the re- sponse will be prompt. The sum of $50 will furnish a bed. Contributions may be sent to Sir Wm. B. Meredith, Chief Justice, 4 Lamport Avenue, Toronto; Mr. W. J. Gage, 64 Front Street West, Toronto; or to the National Trust Co., Limited, Treasurer, 32 Kin$Btreet brut, Toronto, _ is -•••••••••----,------.e•••••••••lipm•P-': • • To make a long story short this store is full of bargains from end to end.
