GOD'S PROMISES SERMON SUBJECT "The Promises of God," Sunday morning sermon at the White Temple, by James Allen Geck-singer, pastor. Text: 2 Peter 1:2-4. This is an amazing text. It carries the accents of the Holy Ghost. It speaks to us of the greatness and glory of Christianity. It is just such a Scripture as we need in this hour when the universe is being brought home to our thought and also the essential greatness of man who seems to be increasingly masterful. For this text suggests that Christianity brings to bear upon man's heart great ideals, to stir mighty hopes and to make him participator in the Divine Life. Look at it a moment. It is addressed to those who have had like precious experience with the Apostle, who had stood by Calvary and on Olivet, who have come to great faith. It speaks of a grace and peace that come only through the experience of God. It points out that everything that belongs to godly living has been provided by our Lord. And it calls attention to the great promises that aim to bring man into the participation in the Divine Life. Christianity enables a man living in the midst of the corruption of the world to live a life of peace and power and victory. The emancipation of man from the power of evil has been the Divine Purpose from the beginning and the Divine Love has never faltered in carrying forward this purpose even tho man has lasped again and again and done despite to the grace of God. What a picture the ancient world gives us of the aberrations of man, whether we read the Bible or secular histry of primitive times. Man called to have dominion and yet unable to press on. Held by a spirit of lethargy and indifference. The promises of God, strewn up and down the Bible pages way will be summed up as aiming to make man a partaker of the Divine Life. They aim at his release at his deliverance. They rise of above noises of FILM QUEENS QUESTIONED IN HOLL Once again the scandal spotlight threatens to turn its glare upon Hollywood. Edna Purviance, now as Charlie Chaplin's lead-ing woman and star of "A Woman of Paris," and Mabel Normand, custard pie commedienne were held by Los Angeles police. Next Putnam Novel will not be "Ladies and Their Chauffeurs" Next Putnam Novel will not be "Ladies and Their Chauffeurs" NEW YORK, Jan. 6 — "Believe you me," Nina Wilcox Putnam's next novel will not be titled "Ladies and Their Chauffeurs" altho it might be. Miss Putnam, or Putnam-Sanderson—the verdict is still out—said so in just those words today. "I'll discharge Mr. Bassett this very minute if his wife says so." Miss Putnam premised in frank discussion of the triangular events of her life, involving Ellsworth F. Bassett, her six-foot-four blond New England clam-digger chauffeur-business agent, and his little postoffice clerk wife. "I'm not the kind of a woman who would rob another woman of her husband—please say that for me." Miss Putnam insisted. "I have cried and cried over this thing—now I am mad, and hurt." Miss Putnam said, shaking her handwiching black lob, in which traces of gray are beginning to show. Fire flashed from the eyes she inherited from her Spanish mother. "I had always thor Gertrude—that is Mrs. Bassett—my friend; that so until now. How can she say these things about me I cannot understand." "Of course I say it is immoral for man and wife to live together after love has died—most unmoral. But in the case of the Bassett I do not know if love lives or not—I have never inquired. I will help thee, yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Lo, I am with you all the way even unto the end. My God shall supply all your needs. That sums it all up and yet after that we have the Apocalypse which is a galaxy of precious promises for those who overcome and have their robes washed in the blood of the Lamb. There are two things I would say in closing which to my own mind, surely show that the human race is moving forward spiritually as well as materially and intellectually, which mark the increasing coming of the kingdom of God and show that God has not wholly failed in stirring men's hearts by his exceeding precious promises. First, sooner or later, and at the "I did not ask Gertrude to voice her husband and give him to me." Miss Putnam said. "I not believe in divorce. Oh know you will ask how I squiggle that with my writings in favor divorce. "Divorce sometimes becomes necessary—it became so in case. The fault does not lie with marriage, it is with the people who marry. If divorce were ever there would be less divorce. Miss Putnam made it clear was going to fight. My reputation has been ruined—ruled by malicious calumny she said. "I want people to know the truth." Mr. Bassett is just employee. I have treated him well. He has driven me in fear and has served as my business agent. I will discharge him very minute if he has not been would rather cut off my hand than hurt her, or any woman." Miss Putnam said she would confer with her attorneys too if necessary, prepare an answer easily legal action which may taken by Mrs. Bassett, allegation of her husband's actions. WOODROW WILSON RENEWS ACTIVITY WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 — Woodrow Wilson is politically more active today—Jackson day, 1920 than he has been at any time since his retirement from White House three years ago. His mall is more voluminous he is seeing more callers, he writing more, his spirits are fierer and with the gradual provement in his health in last year he is taking a keen interest in Democratic affairs. Just what this portends, friends do not pretend to but they point with some significance to the fact that this new interest and activity last incident with the crystallization of party plans and strategy of the coming presidential campaign. Wilson messages to Democracy organizations and individuals. Look at these promises more specifically. There is the promise of forgiveness. "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord and he will have mercy and unto our God for he will abundantly pardon. There is only one thing man can do about sin and that is repudiate it and God kills it by forgiving it. There is the promise of salvation. "Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." There is the promise of Light. "The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory." "He that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life." The promise of Power—"He giveth power to the faint," "Ya shall have power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you." Guidance. "The Lord shall preserve thy going out and they coming in from this time forth and even forever more." "He the Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth. And the promise of the presence. "Fear thou not for I am with thee; be not dismayed I am thy God. I will strengthen thee. HELPED LITTLE GIRL'S COUGH "POLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND is fine. My little girl had an awful cough. I got a bottle of POLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND and gave her a few doses and she was greatly relieved," writes Clyde H. Benson, Maribrook, Virginia. The best remedy for coughs, colds, hoarseness; relieves promptly and effectively. POLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND has stood the test of time, serving three generations. Heying's Pharmacy. The second fact is that tomorrow will be the greatest day in history of mankind! The greatest day, bar none. The day Jesus was born but a handful of people were immediately affected. The day the Holy Ghost was given but few more a few thousand-more, at the most were affected. But tomorrow men and women of all languages and races around the globe will be thinking of peace as they study the award of the Bok Peace Jury. Whatever that plan may turn out to be the greatest thing that has happened to mankind is that the world has been inspired to turn to thoughts of peace with a marvelous unanimity. May we not miss the meaning of tomorrow. These great promises of God are incitements. Ideals, revelations, hopes laid upon our hearts. May they are resources for us to draw upon us we go forward. May we be wise enough to do so.

It was officially announced today. The commissar of health issued the following bulletin: "We, the undersigned, examined Trotzky, finding that on Nov. 5 last, he had contracted influenza with catarrhat effects in the upper breathing channels. These symptoms disappeared. However, the fever remained. The effects of continued illness are that Trotzky is pale and has lost weight, and his capacity for work has been reduced. His appetite has failed and bronchial conditions have enlarged the glands. Owing to the persistence of the malady, which under climatic conditions in Moscow might take acute form, it has been found necessary to order the patient into a climate more favorable for treatment. Trotzky has been compelled to relinquish all his official duties." Signed—Siemiaske, and Professors Foerster, Goutier, Konchalovky, Alexandroff and Pelzner. The official statement disposes of a recent report that Trotzky had resigned as commissioner for war. Both Trotzky and Lenine are now incapacitated by illness. WIFE SAVES HEAD OF TURKISH GOV'T.
