NEW YORK, Dec. AFTER
eight weeks negotiations which
had resulted in a complete dead
lock with a strike on Jan. 1 as a
threatened outcome, the manage
ment of the United Press and a
committee representing the teleg-
raphers' union, today signed a
new contract embodying an in
crease of more than sos, 900 above
the present operators scale.
The contract, as finally signed,
was the result of federal media
ton brought about by Rowland b.
Mahany, commissioner of concilia-
ton of the U. s. department of
labor.
Late last night, when a break
seemed inevitable, Commissioner
Mahany dictated the final draft

Mrs. Simmons, who has just
charged her husband with threat
ening to kill her, declares beauty
is responsible for her trouble.
On the other hand, Simmons
charges his life has tired of him,
has ruined his business and has
driven him into bankruptcy by
her desire to have her own photo
play company.
While awaiting trial of the
criminal court case, which will
undoubtedly be followed by d.
vorce proceedings, Simmons is
continuing to act with his wife In
a film they had started.
I've appeared in all but the
last few scenes, and l might as

 .'Wickedness sayeth: I will secretly 1 work this, or that, in darkness and 1t matters not. for what is done covertly is not known of men, and shall not come to light. But this is a snare, for darkness hath no power when smitten by light, but must flee away, leaving the works of men, whether they be beautiful and good, or illshapen and
 evil, exposed plainly to view. And the i light of the Lord upon every good or evil work is yet to shine out in every | place revealing all the truth concerning all things even unto the thoughts, pur- posed and intent of the heart.

though there were none other in heaven but Him and no one else on earth but me-God and l are friends These words open the book-and that great man of God lays bare his soul to the people who study that little volume. And so beloved, 1 want you to think if there were none on earth save you, God would have sent Jesus into the world to die for you. Oh, what love. Has it even been manifested aside from Jesus Christ.
 God is as real as I am-God is spirit, as we see from our first text. They that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth This body which you see is not my real self; in the presence of God it amounts to no more than the trees or the flowers. only that it holds my spirit only that it>is the house for my spiritual being. When the spirit ual part of my real self has gone. they take this earthly tabernacle and lay it away. Why? BecauseNit is not spirit ual-it does not live eternally. Jesus died for my spiritual body, not for my physical body: God never placed any value on my physical body, but only on my spiritual body. Let us under stand that these bodies are only tenn pies in which the spirit of God dwells Then let us not go into the paths that will lead us in dangerous places, but let us be careful where these feet car ry us. May the spirit of God lead us and not the spirit of the world let us keep our bodies pure that the spirit of God may dwell within us.
 My business is not to discuss God nor define Him in doctrinal formula but to exhibit in my daily life His beauty and His glory. I do not care anything about the theories of the fal of man; l only know that I am among the fallen and He has given his son tc redeem me and lift me up. 1 do not care about the theories of the Atone ment, l know it is fact that Jesus died for my sins and he arose from tho | dead for my justification-andI believe

The following is an extract from the sermon of Elder Yates yesterday:
 "Text:-There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.-Mat 1o:25.
 "Sin thrives in secrecy but always blossoms to the world and bears bit ter harvest
 "The very efforts made by sin to which lay it bare to publicity.
 "A fool may not disclose all his fol ly in 8 single pose, nor betray the eX act lapse from rectitude that makes him a fool but sham wisdom can never reach far, for the thing that We are, is a constant denial of any pretenae to that which we are not. Sc also the doer of dark deeds may not disclose upon his fixt exterior, the exact time, place, and name Of his sin, out things done in the dark first announce the nature of their shame, written upon the unsuspecting victims in letters that are fire by night though black in the light, and the time, place, and name of the sins follow after
 They follow slowly, at tirhes per- haps, but the whole train will arrive. Sin deceives none in protesting to he hidden, except the sinner himsell who like the Ostrich, hides his head in the sand and believes himself unob- served.
 "A lie, always lies to the liar, before the liar lies out his lie: for the devil, who was false from the beginning. whispers to his victim that it is to his interest to cover up the truth.
 Theft, breaks into the house of the thief and robs him of his own best possessions. even before he has plum dered his neighbOr: for while he merely plans to steal, the arch thief has stolen his honor.
 Every effort to cover up sin the while it is nurtured with secret ten derneSs in the breast, only hastens the inevitable exposure: and snicere re- pentance is the only tomb that will cover sins and not cast forth their ghastliness. For to the thoroughly re pentant life, it becomes less matter of concern as to the disposal Of ahan- doned skeletons Of the past, and more, a matter of absorbing interest as to the 1 living present, and the glorious future. Repentance buries it's dead past. and absorbs itself in the living pres ent. Sins covered in the grave of re- pentance may by their very burial. add i to the. fertility and growth of some
