from the lesson-sermon is:
Rev. 21: 1, 4, 5. And saw a new
earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and
there was no more sea. And God
shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things
are passed away. And he that sat
upon the throne said, Behold, 1
make all things new. And he said
unto me, Write: for these words
are rue and faithful. A correlative
passage from the Textbook "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
is: (P. 573: 3-5 and 1917 and 26-2)
The Revelator was on our plane of
existence, while yet beholding what
the eye cannot see,-that which is
invisible to the uninspired thought
that God, the divine Principle
of harmony, is ever with men, and
they are His people. This is in

Kelly Explains Inquest
Photo With Medley

Maj. Edward j. Kelley, superin-
tendent of police. today gave an ex-
planation of photograph in which
he appears to be in animated con-
versation with Joseph D. Medley
charged with Staying Mrs. Nancy
Boyer.
The photograph taken at the in
quest at the Morgue into the death
of Boyer, has caused criticism
Representative Taber, Republican
of New York, cited it in the House
Saturday and blocking passage by
unanimous consent of a bill desig-
mating the superintendent Of police
as colonel rather than a major in
the police department.
II think Medley's lawyer. who
was sitting next to him, had just
said something that made Medley
laugh when the picture was taken,
Maj. Kelly said.
Il had just sat down next to hin
at the lawyers request. Medley
asked me how he could get back
his belongings which were in tht
possession of the police, his tooth
brush and pajamas.
Il took the opportunity to ask
him about his escape from the
prison near Jackson, Mich"
James X. Hughes, Medley's attor.
ney, told the press: 1T was at my
request that Maj. Kelly talked te
Medley at the Morgue. I askec
him to talk to him about the return
of his property. 1 was present dur

| States Commissioner Needham G..
Turnage for the arraignment which
was postponed when the man was
brought here by FBI agents last
Monday night. At that time Med
ley asked for a postponement on the
ground that he was not represented
by counsel
Both Mr.. Fihelly and Medley's
attorney, James K. Hughes, point
ed out that the appearance would
be gratuitous formality since
the commissioner function Is
merely that of committing magis-
trate and since Medley has already
been held for grand jury action by
coroner's jury, following an in
quest last Thursday.
If an Indictment is returned
against Medley, Mr.. Fihelly said, he
will be taken at once before a Dis
trict Court judge for arraignment
and for setting of trial date.
Mr.. Fihelly has just returned to
the city after having been away for
several days. He denied that he
went to st. Louis to bring the sales
lady here, but said he was in New
York on a matter that had no con-
nection with the Medley case.
Mr.. Hughes today filed motion
in District Court to recover money
and clothes taken from Medley at
the time of his arrest by FBI agents.
According to Mr.. Hughes, Medley
has complained he is without funds
to purchase cigarettes or candy.

Prospects were that the grand

Early Re|inquishes.
White House Press
Post 10 Daniels

Stephen T. Early today formally
relinquished the duties of White
House press secretary which he has
discharged for IL years and Jon.
athan Daniels took over. Mr.. Dan.
lels has been acting press secre.
tary since Mr.. Early left Washington
In January first to attend the Yalta
Conference with President Roosevelt
and then to undertake a special mis-
sion on press relations for the Wal
Department in France. He returned
last week.
For a while, Mr. Early will per-
form the secretarial functions of the
late Maj. Gen. Edwin M. Watson
who handled President Roosevelt's
calling list. In early June, as was
announced by President Roosevelt
Saturday night, the long, time presi-
Dental aide expects to enter private
business.
Mr.. Early told newsmen this morn
Ing that he had made no definite
commitments along this line, but
that now that President Roosevelt
has given him permission to leave
the Government, he will be free to
negotiate.
Had Many Offers.
I've had during the last eight
years a number of proposals for
work on the outside" Mr.. Early said
but felt until the President gave
me permission to go, which he did
last Saturday, could not do more
than express my thanks for the of =
fers."
Amplifying that he had not want
ed to be under obligations to any
one on the outside so long as he held
an official position, Mr.. Early said
that Il have never gone into any
details of any offers received, al
though they have been many and
fattering. Now that the President
has given me permission to nego-
tiate, I will. I have no understand
ings with any one"
The formal transfer of the duties
of press secretary was announced by
Mr.. Early at his customary morning
conference with neWsmen. He said
ne was trying to clear away the ac-
emulation of II years-"that he
wanted to make it clean" for Mr.
Daniels and the latter said smiling
1y that he would try to keep it
clean"
I might say that I am as anxious
TO get in this hot seat as Steve is to
get out of it, Mr.. Daniels said.
Mission for StimSOn.
Mr.. Early undertook the War De-
partment mission at the specific re-
quest of Secretary Stimson. who
said the officer in charge of public
relations at Supreme Headquarters
Allied Expeditionary Forces. had
asked for his services for so days.
This public relations officer had
advised gen. Eisenhower that a sur
yey OF the progress of public rela-
tlons organization in France and
of its general effectiveness in meet
Ing the needs of the correspondents
there had led him to believe that
conditions would be aided by having
the services of a well-known news
man from home to observe opera
tlonS and offer suggestions for i'm
provement.
He had expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Early, a lieutenant colonel of
infantry in the World War, would
make an ideal observer.
While in France Mr.. Early visited
his son, 1t. Stephen E. Early, who
was hospitalized after being wound
ed In action. Young Early is getting
along splendidly, his father said to-
day.
