TO BE SEPTEMBER 25
IS DESIGNATED FOR A OENERAL
RALLYDAV—WAS ARRANGED
BY COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL ASSN.
"Home Coming Sunday" for the
churches of I.oraln county has been
designated by the evangelistic committee of tin1- county church federation
for next Sunday, September 25, and
will be observed In most of the churches throughout the county.
The program of the evangelistic
committee of the federation for the,
season of 1920-1921, one of whose
events In "Home Coming Sunday," was
unanimously endorsed by the county
ministerial association at an all-day
out-of-doors meeting held Monday at
Lake Views Park, in the city of Lorain,
The program of the evangelistic
committee does not bind any ot the
cooperating churches to observe any
special days or follow any general
plan. Every church is free to plan its
work In the way best suited to Its situation, but it affords dates and ways
for general observance and united emphasis Insofar as the individual
churches can participate. The experience has been that most churches will
be able and will desire to follow the
suggestions of the united program. A
united program gives the work of the
churches a more Important place In
the life of the community.
"Home Coming Sunday" is designated as a general rally day and go to
church Sunday. The county Sunday
School Association has proposed their
general fall rally day for the same
time. Many churches and Sunday
schools will have special exercises and
features In their services. Larger lntereat, it has been found, is shown in
the rally day in each church and Sunday school when it is being observed
in the other churches and Sunday
schools of the same community at the
same time.
The ministers of the county at their
meeting on Monday devoted their time,
to a consideration of evangelistic work
this fall and winter. The emphasis in
evangelistic activities this fall la to be
placed In tho Sunday school, leading
up to a dedication day on December
18.
An addreaa upon the general plan
of federated work wbb given by M. C.
Pearson, D. D., executive secretary of
the Detroit Council of Churches, and
another address upon the same theme
again In the evening to members of
the Lorain Council of Churches of the
city- of Lorain.
The conditions of present-day life
demand united action upon the part of
the Proteatant church forces, was the
declaration of Dr. Pearson. This united action he did think required organic
unity of the churches, at least at present. Indeed, he thought It quite likely that different kinds of churches
would always be needed. But community programs and community co-operation in church work was imperatively needed at once.
The challenge for united action, Dr.
Pearson found to exist In the great
unchurched masses of the population
In every section of our country, and to
exist also In the industrial, social, educational and International conditions
Of the present day.
A council of churches, the sneaker
stated, was as essential to the efficient
work of the churches In a city, aaj»
chamber of commerce was to the business Interest. I
Officers tor tbe county Ministerial
Association were elected as follows:
L. C. Orant of Lorain, president; A.
A. Hunter of Amherst, vice-president;
Charles H. Hauger of Lorain, secretary; B. C. Peck of Avon, treasurer.

SHOE REPAIR SHOP

HEAT   BREAKS  WINDOWS ON
OPPOSITE SIDE OF. STREET
The shoe repair shop of F. C. Vazan
no on Park avenue was completely destroyed by fire early Sunday morning
to the extent of about $4,000. The
exact cause of the Are is unknown.
Night Watchman Colburn, when
making his rounds, passed the store
anil at that time did not notice anything unusual. When he reached the
corner of Main street and Park avenue he heard an explosion and walked
buck toward the store. He noticed a
small blase when he came near the
store and It seemed but an instant
when the store broke out in flames all
over. He Immediately sent in the
alarm uud In a short time the fire department had two streams of water
on the burning building. The firse had
too much of a start which made it impossible to save any of the machinery
or other contents of the building.
Mr. Vazanno stated that his loss will
be ubout $2,S0O. He also stuted thut
he would make adjustments with people who had shoes there to be repaired
providing the owners would be reasonable in their claims.
Mr. Vazanno had the contenta of the
store insured for $1,500 a short time
ago, but will not cover his loss. The
building Is owned by a man living in
New York City and the insurance
which he carried is not known.
Mr. Vasanno Is planning to reopen
his business as soon as the adjustments can be made with the Insurance
company.
Several other merchants will have
small louses as the intense heat from
the fire cracked the glass in the ui%
play windows of the Baker-Ebbs company, Jacob Baus, Wm. Baker and
Jacob Dock atores on the opposite side

Chsrfsd with death of Mus Virginia
The village council held their regu-
regular meeting in the assembly room
of the town hall Tuesday night.
Among the matters discussed at the
meeting waa one In which the Cleveland Southwestern and Columbus railway notified the council that they
could not change the Y on Milan avenue as the cost was more, according
to their engineers in Cleveland, than
they had anticipated and that they
would be to more expense in the work
than they could afford at this time.
The council, however, decided that the
track would have to be changed to the
•middle of Milan avenue as was- the
original plans. Tbe railway cpmpany
was notified to that effect.
A. O. Mens and Wm. F. Baker, Jr.,
were before the council to have the
matter of excavating, curbing and
filling ot slag, on Jackson, street, discussed by the body. Their plan is to
have the work taken care of to this
extent while the contractor is working on the pawing here. They also
planned to be responsible to the contractor for the work provided that
they could get other property owners
interested to the extent of bearing
their share of the expense. There Is
ubout 100 feet of the street running
north of Park uveuue that the improvement will tuke iu. A certain
ugreemenl between the property owners and the vlllgue will have to be In
force before the work can he done.
The larviu cold putch for road repairing which was ordered for Elyrla
Avenue some time ago is here and will
be put on as soon as men can get here
to look after the' work. Tbe street,
however, will not be repaired as completely as the council woujd like to do
at this time but the largest of the
breaks iu the road will lie repaired.
The atreet commissioner was ordered
to have the necessary materials on
hand for the work.
Several ordinances were passed at
the meeting to comply with the ruling
of the state attorney-general on the
paving.

Order of Eagles, would have to post

A. A. Reislng, local shoe dealer, was
killed early Monday morning when he
lost control of the motorcycle which
he was riding und was thrown down
tbe embnnkmeut on the west side of
Towns hill.
Mr. Lavour, teacher at the school
at Stop 36, was an eye-witness of tho
accident and tells the following story:
"I was walking to school from town
and had gotten nearly to the top of
the hill when I saw Reislng coming
down the road about a quarter ot a
mile away. I noticed that he was
driving on the left-hand side ot the
road and that he was swaying from
side to side on the seat of the motorcycle. When he passed me I spoke
but he did not answer. I thought that
I would watch him because ot his peculiar actions. As he was going down
the hill the side cur was off of the
ground when he mude u shurp turn.
He made several of these turns and I
begun to think that he wus trying to
do some stunts or perhaps looking for
some fault In the actions of the mo-1
torcycle. I begun walking again uud
just happened to turn around when 1 '
suw the motorcycle leave the road und '
.hrow Itelsing down the embankment.
1 hurried over and picked him up.
When I touched him he began to moan
with pain. I then asked him If he
thought he was hurt very badly and
eh only muttered he didn't think so.
M ibis time he began lo have u wild
•tare iu his eyes, so 1 picked him up
in il .-.lopped a passing machine, which
look him to the hospital."
Hospital attaches are of the opinion
that heart failure wus the causo ot his
losing control of the motorcycle. He
lived only a short time after reaching the hospital.
Mr. Raising Is survived by a wife,
two children, a mother and father and
one sister of Lorain.
Mr. Reislng had been in business In
