It s Blackwood On Bridge Muzzy Wastes Time With Two-Club Bid Fast and furious b ; dding marked today’s deal. The auction might have been much shorter if Mr. Muzzy had not made his foolish two-club bid. After his partner’s vulnerable heart overcall, he should have realized that hearts represented the best spot for his side. South dealer. Neither side vulnerable. NORTH

to four hearts on the East cards. Mr. Dale thought of doubling the five heart bid. believing he could set it if his partner got off to a club lead. As you see. he was right. But he finally decided it uas too cloire l> fool with. Five jpades certainly couldn't be beaten badly and might even be makeaole OLD RELIABLE Good old Muzzy! As soon as the bidding was over he banged down the jack of hearts. Now- the jack is not the right lead from his holding. He should have led his fourth best. There was still another defeat. It was not his lead. As usual Mr. Judge, the selfappointed arbiter of the game, was close at hand, licking his chops over the prospect of practicing his favorite occupation— settling a dispute at the bridge table. He said that the jack of hearts could be accepted as a correct lead. But if Mr. Dale didn’t want to accept it he could require Mr. Muzzy to retract the lead and make the jack of hearts a penalty card, to be played at the first legal opportunity. There was a third choice. Mr. Dale could forbid Mr. Champion to lead a heart. C HAMPION FUMES This last penalty was the one Mr. Dale chose. Fuming and muttering to himself, Mr. Champion led a small club. Mr. Dale ruffed and laid down

the ace of spades. He then started the diamonds and Mr. Champion died a thousand deaths as he had to follow to three leads of that suit. He ruffed the fourth diamond with the king of spades and on this trick Mr. Dale discarded a heart from dummy. Thus the defenders got just two tricks—a heart and the king of spades.

Baseball Game Here Tomorrow

One of Indiana’s oldest collegiate baseball rivalries is due for another workout here Saturday when DePauw hosts Wabash at 2 p. m. Tigers and Cavemen literally have been swinging bats at each other since 1896, and Saturday’s tilt will be the 117th in the 59-year-old series. Last year the two squads broke even in two games, with DePauw winning in Crawfordsville, 13-7, and Wabash taking the Greencastle contest, 7-6. The Little Giants now have won 65 of the struggles with their Monon neighbors to 49 for DePauw, and ther* have been two ties. DePauw Ccach Jack Morton plans to send a sophomore right hander, Bruce Rutherford, against Wabash in search of the ligers' third victory of the season. They have lost five. Also active Saturday will be the Bengal netters, who have an engagement at the University of Chicago. The courtmen are undefeated in their first five matches.

FAITH OR OPINION?

Faith or opinion, which ? There is a big difference. Within this difference is found the cause of much of ou~ religious confusion. If men today would .only be guided in their religion by genuine Bible faith rather than by opinion our troubles would largely be over and our divis-

ions would cease.

Faith has been correctly defined as ".belief in testimony." Where no testimony haa ever been presented there can be no real faith. That would be opinion. For instance, if God had never in any way whatsoever revealed Himself man and thus furnished him testimory of Himself, then man could have no faith in God. If God had never revealed testimony, the New Testament, concerning Jesus Christ, then we could not and would not have faith in Him who d ed for us. When testimt/ny is presented and man believes this testimony, he then has faith. Paul so teaches in Rom. 10:17: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” In Hebrew’s 11, the great faith chapter, we have an example given of “faith and opinion.” Read carefully verses 1719. God had told Abrstham that through Isaac He would make of him a mighty nation. Yet, God said Late- for Ahraham to offer Isaac upon the altar. Abraham had faith that God would multiply his aeed through Isaac because God had said so and thus given the testimory. Yet, God hadn’t explained how he would do this and still have Abraham offer Isaac. Abraham’s opinion w ae that God would raise him. Isaac, from the ctead when he had sacrificed him, his was mere opinion fvr God had not said so No testimony and therefore no faith.

If I am going to walk by faith in my religion then I must walk according to the revelation or testimony ft:,, nished .by the Lord. According to the Apo-tle Peter in 2 Peter 1:3 God has furnished us all things that pertain to 1 fe and godliness. This we have in the New Testament scriptures. That’s why James refers to it as the "perfect law of liberty.” James 1:25. Whenever religiously we walk or act exactly as the New Testament directs then we a e walking by faith. For example, God :n the New Testament has fumi hed the testimony that we should sing in our worship to Him. Col. 3:16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in til wisdom; teaching an<l admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with gia e in yyur hearts to the Lord. Singing, therefore, is a matter of faith. But, there is absolutely no testimony given in the New Testament for us to employ instruments of music in worshiping the L rd. Hence, to practice such is to be guided by opinion. No testimony-no faith. Surely it is then but the op.nion of man. When the preacher baptizes a penitent believer, they both come to the water, go down into It both of them, and there I baptize him by a burial, it will be following the testimony given. Acts 8:36-39; Rom. 6-4 Since there is no evidence in the New Testament that God wants it done in any other way, then it Is only some person’s opinion when water is sprinkled or poured on the candidate. We can not be walking by faith In such practice for there is no evidence or testimony prencnted in God’s record. Are you walking by faith?
