degrading, but of these seventeen
twelve could have been passed with
considerable revision. The balance

During the month 249 separate and

HYPHENATED RELIGION

In the last five years we have learn
ed pretty thoroughly that one cannot
be a true American and a hypenated
one at the same time. Jesus In the
flesh laid down that principal very
definitely and clearly when he said
Eye cannot serve God and mammon."
In other words o cannot render 10y
atty to God and the devil at the same
time. But there is a hyphenation that
is true and absolutely necessary for
one IL he is to get into and stay in the
Kingdom of Heaven.
There are two parts and phases or
the religion of the True God--the liv-
ing and true God. One is the law. In
religion there must be law. To be
religious one must be law abiding.
And further more one must give heed
to the "Thus saith the Lord" You
cannot get anywhere in religion and
leave out aughtness. Obey God or
give up the thought Of salvation.
There are those VINO are SO Jealous
for the law, on the other hand, and
jealous for it that they are net willing
to acknowledge the claims OF the
gospel. Let such have no fear. No
one is more positive than Jesus in
demanding that the law be obeyed.
The great protagonist for the law is
Jesus Christ.
There are others again who are so
INFATUATED with the idea of the free
dom of the gospel that they think to
live in Christ without any discharge
of duty. Paul calls these latter anti
nomians, which literally means
against law. And he is right. He who
n~eglects law is against law. Just as
Jesus nj reference to himself. HE
that Is not for me is against me-
So, what are we going to do between
these two classes OF people? The only
thing do SO Is to proclaim the gospel
IL is the union OF obligation and liber-
ty, responsibility and freedom. Jesus
declares himself to be the fulfillment
of the law. In being the fulfllment Of
the law he Is the only way OF observ'
ing the law iE its completeness. Ant
there is no use in talking about keep
ing the law unless you talk OF fulfill
ing 1t all. The gospel is therefore
constructive. 1t Is the complement o
the law and II is also necessarily th'
completeness OF the law. Says Jesus
himself mot one jot nor little Of tn
law shall pass away until all be- full
filed" That speaks of the judgment
The requirement for fulfillment !

FhIL TO AVERT
COAL STRIKE
Government officials FAN To Satisfy
Miners. Strike In April Feared
BY Leaders

Washington, Mar. 13.-Little hope
for the averting OF a strike in the
unionized bituminous coal fields on
April 1, was held out today in those
official circles most concerned with
the repeated government attempts to
bring about an easy adjustment OF
wage agreement differences, nine
operators, 1t was declared, were cor
tinuing in their refusal to enter a
conference with the United Mine
Workers looking to the creation of
"a new wage contract for the central
competitive field. Notwithstanding
representations made to them by Sec
rotary of Labor Davis, who holds that
existing contracts require them at
least to enter negotiations regardless
of whether such negotiations r car
ried to completion.
The United Mine Workers of AM
erica the general union organization
was declared TO be entirely willing to
enter a conference although insisting
upon the maintenance of existing wage
scales, which were adopted in 1920.
The employers are demanding reduc-
tions amounting to 20 per cent or
more.
1t was indicated in official circles
today that the government would go
no further at present but await the
development of the threatened strike.
The degree of possible government in
%tervention later, 1t was said by a high
official, would be determined by the
degree to which the strike, IL IL de-
yeloped. might affect adversely the
public welfare.
Statistics assembled for the labor
department indicate sixty-five million
tons of coal are now in storage APP
proximately a ten week supply for
the entire country. that this amount
is rapidly being augmented, and that
non-union production is tending to in
crease. Local. agreements between
the union and operators are also ex-
pected to go into effect on or before
April /, which would insure mainten-
ance of further operations.
