that the tie-up caused by the strike for

In the Scranton and Wilkesbarre dis

MLLIONAIRE'S SON breaches
FIRST SERMON AT NEW HAVEN

II take John the Baptist as the repre-
sentative of many men apd women OF o ir
time" continued Mr.. Stokes. They have
joined the church and Z perhaps have
taught a Sunday school class. They
learned at their mothers hnecs their daily
prayers and they were accustomed to
read the Bible daily. But as years have
gone on their devotion has become less
devodt. II may have been because OF dis
appointments, II may have been because
of shipwreck i'm life, or q may have been
because OF intellectual difficulty. that
doubt has come upon them.
But call your attention 10 the two
characteristics in which they are unlike
John John tried to overcome doubt. Let
me ask doubters here II they have tried
TO learn by prayer, by study of the Bible
and by study OF history IL Christ repre-
sents the truth. Secondly, John not only
sent messengers. but his doubt was fund
amental. Many Christians have Difficult
ties concerning the virgin birth. in regard
to the Trinity or about the inspiration of
the Scriptures But all Christians are
agreed on the great fundamental that
Jesus Christ is. the authoritative revealer
OF Gods truth to men,
MEssIAHs FIVE CHARACTERISTICS
,JH.eonclusion MIR. Stokes declared that
adj beiieyers must agree that the Messiah
should possess these five characteristics:
Absolute authority TO speak as a messen-
ger from God, consciousness that his mes
sage is Gods message consciousness OF
peculiarly intimate relationship with God,
the living OF sinless life and the con-
sciousness of its sinlessness and the liv-
ing OF life which Is the outgoing of
love to me. leaving His impression of
men In way that is absolutely unique.
Favorable comment was universally
made on the sermon after the service.

colliery started up, but only one was able
TO muster its full complement OF men.
Several of the collierics after starting

OF men.
Up to this time not single case Of vio-
lence has been reported.
WILL SHUT DOWN LATER.
Many of the mines that have started
short handed will probably shut down
during the day.
1t was conservatively estimated this
morning that nearly 5000 men or the 16,-
900 in this district started work today.
Committees OF the union men were on,
duty early at nearly every working ia
the district endeavoring to persuade those
men who had decided TO work TO recon-
slider and not go into the mines. ~
Trouble was expected at the, Coleraine
mine today, but nothing has,dccurred to
disturb the peace at that place.

The @. b. Markle coliieries at Jeddo.

men, started working this morning short

night by United Mine Workers officials
TO bring these men out but they failed.
The marble mine at Ebervale, however.

start.
The only mines on the north side which
started the full number of men were Lat
timer, Harwood and Pond Creek The
officials oI these mines had notified their
employees that IL they did not report for
duty today operations would be suspended
indefinitely.
The Coke mines at Drifton, EckeIey and
Beaver Meadow on the south side, and
the same company's mines at Oneida.
Derringer and Gowen on the west side are
working but none of them full handed.
They are not strongly organized.

King George, of Greece, as the faith

threw himself into his arms, asking if
he had any orders TO give him King
George replied in voice full of affec-
