branches, having no life in them
selves, except as it is impaired by
the Vine. So they were to bear the
characteristic fruit of the vine, and
to endure pruningS for the sake of
productivity.
At the Top of the Church.
Once I was Of little group en-
tertained at tea by the higher
Greek clergy OF the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. We
were taken out of the darkness and
darkness of the gloom-filled, &c
cleSiaStiC- ridden ancient structure
up to the sunlight OF the roof, where
refreshments were served.
There, to my amazement. found
a great grape vine, bearing full
fruit. It's roots were far down in
the earth, alongside of the founda-
tionS of the church. But the shade
and fruit were up in the sunlight
That vine seemed d figure of the
Christian Church itself, deep-rOoted
in the fertility Of faith, but bestoW-
ing its benefcence on the sunllt
heights OF normal life. high above
churchly rites and rlvalries. 1t bore
fruit above because deeply rooted
below. And it was not without SYM
bolism that this luxurious vine, Wig
orous in old age, should be growing
at the scene of Christs death and
resurrection.
The Mystery of Faith.
In this farewell talk. Jesus seemed
to toy with one Greek word and its
derivitiveS - the word ''mOnai, y
which the Authorized Version trans
lates mansions and the Revised
Version renders. in the margin, as
abiding places" There was no idea
of magniflcenCe in Jesus mind as
He promised His friends 'monai,
but only permanence. In fuller
speech the text might be translated
In my Fathers house are many
homes that never break up This
was His comfort in the hour OF
separation.
So in the figure of the vine. His
thought was of permanence and IN
timacy, as if He said. BE at home
with Me all the time" Life on
earth is abiding in Christ; life in
Heaven is abiding with Christ. Ir
both cases it is being at home" with
Jesus. Amidst earth's tranSitory
things we need to have our hearts
strengthened and our faith quick
ened by this word of eternity
abide"
This truth OF mystic. sweet COM
munion" has been the Sustenance
of saints of all communions through
out the centuries. The monk who
long ago wrote The Imitation ot
Christ" has fed the souls OF un-
counted myriads Of all creeds and
today his book is the bedside COM
panion of millions. In this mystic
rious but real fellowship of faith we
find the real secret OF Christian en-
durance and service. The prayer is
constantly ascending OF Heaven.
Lord Jesus, make Thysef to me,
A living, bright reality"
Nlemoeller in German prison;

preachers and Sunday school teach
ers: statesmen amidst thronglng

The union times., 1941-10-11

Previously, as long as one craft re- mained on a job, the companies were allowed to deliver. Besides strength ening the Queens strike, the new clause will render more effective any future building trades strike.
 PAYING $4 A DAY
 BCTC President Thomas Mur- ray pointed out that Queens small-hOme contractors were pay ing as little as $4 and $5 a day, and that scales have been vary ing from week to week depend ing on the supply of men. AL though the $9.1O daily scale which the strikers ask is $l.9O less than prevailing scales on big construction jobs, the small con- tractors refused to grant it.

8O,OOO Men
 End Walkout
 On Buildings
Teamsters Refuse to Deliver Material to Struck Jobs;
 Queens Walkout On

A strike of 8O,OOO AFL build ing trades workers in the New York metropolitan area ended last week when building material firms agreed to cease delivering to nOn-uniOn jobs.
 TRANSFERS QUIT
 The strike on small jobs i'll the borough of Queens, which led to the big walkout, continued. The Queens strike started spreading on June % when the building material teamsters quit in protest against deliveries to the struck jobs. The teamsters belong to Local 282, International Brother hood of Teamsters Chauffeurs Ware housemen & Helpers.
 Other building trades members fol- lowed the teamsters' example. By June 30, all construction work in this area, except for defense jobs, was at a standstill.
 The settlement was reached at a conference between union and employ CT representatives at City Hall. A special clause was inserted in the teamsters' contract providing that no firm will deliver to a job which the Building & Construction Trades Council rules unfair.

 TIME IS THE ESSENCE
 In West Palm Beach, Fla, a con- tracting firm has secured a contract for the construction of $3,000,000 worth of work at a nearby army camp. The American Federation of Labor'S building trades are negotlat- ing for union agreement. The sooner such an agreement is reached the faster the job will be completed. When there's a national defense program under way, swift completion of an important project is terribly urgent.
 The president of the Building Trades Council of Jacksonville and the A. F. of L. organizer in charge of the Florida territory are in Jack sonville, 285 miles to the north. To proceed to West Palm Beach by or dinary means of transportation would mean costly delay, and delay is not
