Although c. o. P leaders attempt ed to throw cloak of secrecy around the doings of a reported stormy ses- sion last night in political headauar- ters on Main street, it leaked out this afternoon that the "old liners bowed submissively to George A.

 Calls Reports Biased.
 Reports are based upon an investi- gation by company officials and armed guards" he said What can the public expect to get in the way of unbiased reports from men who are hired to fight the employees on strike ?"
 McGrath's statement came after the verdict of the coroner's jury which found that the engineer and flremen of the wrecked express came to their death "as a result of plot to wreck the train"
 McGrath cited numerous derail- ments in various sections of the coun- try to support his charges of the use of crippled equipment by the rail- roads.
 Most of the wrecks reported are due to sharp fanges or defective brakes" he continued. Sharp or broken fanges cause an engine to ride the rails. It Is customary when qualified inspectors are employed for them to report such defects.

They had shut Him out. And ever
since that day men and women have
been shutting Christ out. Christ
wants to be our guest. He desires to
come into every heart. and. IL He
shut Him out.
Sometimes we shut Him out be-
cause We are enrroSscd in pleasure.
christ does not want TO deny us any
thing that helps us. but lie wants to
exclude everything that is hurtful
Pleasure INDUCED in sclfshly or that
appeals merely To tho appctites and
the baser passions--pleasure in which
Christ is not cXaltcd-will sooner or
later shut Christ out. Not only that,
but when we are absorbed In bust
ness to the exclusion OF the unseen
things, then II Is that Christ has no
place or part with us.
Everywhere you find mon and
women who were once devout Chris
tians. but who have gradually be-
como so interested in tho making OF
money or the carrying forward OF
some project for tho sake OF materia.

day. In part, as follows:
This Is very practical age. Re-
suits are being demanded today. The
test that We are applying TO all our
thinking, and all of our theories, can
be applied to Christianity today.
"'rhc Master was very fair in His
answer to those who came question
ing the source OF His wisdom He
answered them: IL any man Will do
His will he shall know" Doing the
will OF God as ii Is revealed to us
by Christ is the supreme test-Iit Ia
the test OF all tests. Doing. then,
is the mighty span that bridges tho
space between God and man Doing
is tho vital link that binds our
hearts to God.
Christ threw down the challenge
for all ages. Have we right TO
doubt before we have sincerely tri,d
out the program of Jesus? II His
teachings cannot he lived out in
any age, they are worthless. Jesus
lived a very simple life. and He dem

what 1t is to do the will OF tho
Father. All men can follow Hin
In His reverence for the Father. All
men can follow Him in His deeds OF
