The skillful Team-of-Four championship, which drew 14 tables in two sessions and brought the three-day meet to a close in the evening, was captured by Richard Shepherd, H. R. Hall and Jim Day, all of Atlanta, with Fred McBride of Greensboro.

They won both sessions and finished with 35-2 matches against 25 average for a strong 71 per cent game, scoring 18 against 13 average in the first session and following a long illness.

m. 17 against 12 average in the Joseph W. of El Cajon, Sunday in an Asheville hospital A famous Christian theologian recently stated that after a life-long study of the religions of. the world that he was convinced that there was no such person as a "non-Christian" that every Buddhist Temple and heathen shrine was a marker on the road to God. This sounds reasonable, but is it Christian? 1 N.

W. Over the platform in all of our Crusades there is a text-which reads; "Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This points up the distinctiveness of Christianity, and the exclusive-ness of its teaching. Christ IS Christianity, and there can be no true Christianity apart from Him. While it may be true that some of the ethics and idealism of other religion run parallel to Christian teaching the fact remains, as stated by Jesus Himself, "no man cometh unto the Father but by me," To be Christian means to be 'Christlike', and we cannot be like Him in any degree unless we are changed, converted, made anew. How is that change effected? Paul said, "If any man be IN CHRIST he is a new creature." The essence of true Christianity is not to be 'in a church'; 'in a state of respectability'; 'in a theology'; but to repose our faith in the Person of Christ.

Then miracles begin to happen. Christ gives us a new capacity to live up to His ethic no other religion offers that! evening final. following an illness of one week. Mrs. Harris and Gassaway won and Pascal B.
