| Data | The word “base-ball” was worked into a sermon given by a preacher commemorating the 17th anniversary of the Acton (West London) Baptist Sunday School. A newspaper account of his text included the following excerpt: “God might have filled the land with stinging nettles instead of beautiful flowers, and thus have caused people to say that it was a dreary wilderness, but He never intended people to be miserable, but merry and wise. Cricket, base-ball, and rowing were amusements that they might all enjoy consistent with Christian character.” |
