SPORTS
1941 Playing
Rules Unchanged
Softball League
Meeting Called
The exceptions to the national
rules as used by the Oregon State
Softball Association for 1941 are
the same as 1940.
There are but few minor changes
in the national rules that should be
noted, the most important being
the new section which “prohibits
the ‘rocker’ action of a pitcher,”
who having the ball in pitching
position, separates the hands mak­
ing a backward and forward swing
of the pitching arm bringing the
ball again into both hands in Iront
of the body, or any type of wind­
up in which there is a step, or re-
versal of the forward motion. This
does not prohibit a wind-up in
which the motion of the pitching
arm is continuous even though the
hand taken off the ball may again
touch and travel with the ball in
the course of the wind-up.”
A meeting of the softball league
is scheduled for Thursday evening
at 7:30 at The Eagle office by
President Williams. Several details
of organizing for play have yet to
be completed so that the schedule
may begin next week.
Since the first work of organiz­
ing was done some time ago, it is
not n-jw definitely known how
many teams will participate in piay.
The construction of bleachers also
remains to be done.
The Forum
Do you think Christ meant busi­
ness when he was asked the ques-
tion: “Good Master, what good
thing shall I do, that I may have
eternal life” Note the reply in
19:16-18—"If
verse 17 of Matt.
____ ________
thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments,” and in verse 18 he
specified the ten commandment
law.
In Luke 10:25-28. “A certain
lawyer stood up with this question:
‘Master what shall I do to inherit
eternal life?’ again the answer
was, ‘What is written in the law,
how readest thou ’ ‘This do and
thou shalt live.’ ”
Our Saviour’s last recorded bless­
ing in the last chapter of the la»i
book of the Bible is pronounced
upon those who do something, nd
this something is their passport
through the gates of the Holy City
to the tree of Life. Rev. 22:14—
Blessed are they that do His com-
mandments that they may have
light to the tree of life, and may
enter in through the gates into the
city.”
There is mighty and striking evi­
dence that the court of High Heav­
en is now in session, and from its
just and final decisions there will
be no appeal.
“And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God, and the
books were opened, and another
book was opened which is the Book
of Life, and the dead were judged
out of those things that were writ­
ten in the books, according to their
works.” Rev. 20:12.
When in the final judgment you
are asked the question—why did
you trample on the Sabbath of the
fourth commandment you will be
speechless, like the man who did
not have on the wedding garment.
To be found wanting in the final
judgment will be the saddest of
all experiences.

To the Editor:
It is true that Seventh Day Ad­
ventists did not begin the present
discussion on the Sabbath questipn,
and in that discussion have been
careful not to make it appear that
the Sabbath was the foundation
of the church, “For other founda­
tion can no man lay than that is
laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor.
3:11.
