An examination of applicants for census enumerators will be held in Room 201 of the Coatesville YMCA building tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 and again at 4 Any person who wants a job as census enumerator can take the examination no matter whether he has made formal application or not. Similar examinations will be held in West Chester and Phoenixville on Wednesday of this week.

Washington, March 6 The signing of a new contract sent soft coal miners swarming back to the pits a serious threat to the economy and promising peace in the coal fields for months to come. For the miners, the prize they won was a $1.40 daily per man, plus a reasonable assurance of fairly steady work for at least a year and perhaps until the middle of 1952. For the operators, it meant getting back into business. For the public the settlement; meant relief from ftr stnke, fescue from a looming industrial breakdown, and some assurance of stability in what President Truman has called sick: higher coal bills. One operator put the cost of the United Mine gains at $250.000,000 this year.

The extra cost to consumers may be anywhere from 25 to 50 cents a ton. The strike-settling contract was signed by UMW President John L. Lewis and the spokesmen for all major groups of West, the reluctant South and the steel-owned 5:30 p. m. Sunday.

Lewis told newsmen: United Mine Workers have again accomplished the Then he let the word be flashed to the 370,000 strikers: mines will resume This time there was no defiance of a back-to-work order. There was a contract, there would be w-ork. In many districts the jubilant miners waived formal meetings and back-to-work votes. Until now they had defied orders to go back from both Lewis and the Federal Court. Local officials hurried the movement by radio broadcasts in some towns, Maintenance men hustled back to some pits before the ink on the contract was fairly dry.

Some pits were ready by mid- -ntght- to start pouring black energy into the fuel-starved economy. But it may be 10 days before all of an estimated 225,000 laid-off men in coal-dependent industries, such as railroads and steel, will be back on the job. The contract runs until June 30, 1952. But it may be canceled by either party on or after April 1, 1951, upon 30 notice. It provides for: A $14.75 daily wage, an increase of 70 cents.

Lewis had asked 90 cents. A 30-cent levy on each ton of coal to finance the UMW welfare fund. The pension payment formerly was 20 cents. Lewis had asked 35 cents. A union shop, subject to court ruling on its legality.

This is what love is like. It suffers with others in their pain and sorrow.

It means thinking ourselves into their situation until we really share their trouble or bear their burdens. Love demands that we identify ourselves with others until their pain hurts us, until their sin becomes our shame. This is what Jesus did. He entered into the lives of people and became one with them. Their hunger moved Him to compassion.

Their physical distress pierced Him and wrung His heart. Their wickedness became His agony. was the pain He bore, the sorrow He Is our love like this? Do the wicked have a place in our heart? Is love driving us to the task of winning men for Christ? to the task of saving them from the fires of hell? Or are we like the man in the parable when his knock came at midnight, we do not want to be bothered with anyone need or distress? Love has been defined as identifying ourselves with interest in others. Can our love measure up to that? There is also another truth In this prophecy from Christ is mindful of our pain and trouble and burden, and is ready to share them, ready to lift them from our hearts. Draw nigh, Christ, to all who listen for Thy footsteps, and wait for Thy healing hand; the sick and all who are wasted by disease; the blind, the deaf and the dumb, the crippled and the helpless; the worried and the anxious, the discouraged and the depressed; unwanted children left upon our doorsteps; the aged In the sunset years of their lives; draw nigh to us all, divine Love, our Saviour Amen.
