It is not dying. It is developing and growing and the very change which it is undergoing is evidence of its life." In these words Rev. Edward A. Ijewis in his sermon at the reopening service of the First - Universal ist church last Sunday expressed his conviction that those who considered the Christian church to be tottering had failed to see the situation in its true light. ' ,' - ' i Mr. Lewis took for his text: "A World Church for World Service," Which is the slogan of the Universalis! church during the Murray Crusade ' which this denomination is conducting for the purpose of increasing its organized strength. The speaker gave his idea of the ideal character of the church in the following words: .."We do not need to hear controversies about transubstantiatlon andcon--substantion, we do not need to come here and tell each other by what strange and supernatural phenomena we are convinced that we are saved. But we do need to come together from time to time to renew our good resolutions, to have our own highest ideals set he "ore us again and again, and to study the ethical problems of human living together. "In the last generation a great many people have come to look upon the church in a much different way from that in which it was formerly looked upon. It is -a -comparatively new idea to think of the church asa place where men and women go to receive inspiration to nobler living. But I honestly believe that in matters of. theological progress tho laymen have led the ministers. Everybody believes in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man today except a few preachers! It seems to .me that the preachers as a whole have been very slow in coming to see the truth that human kindness and brotherly love here on earth in the daily conduct of 'men and women is vastly more important than the giving of intellectual assent to some formal statement, of belief. ."Rut the clergy is at last coming to see the necessity of remodeling its creeds, dogmas and machinery of organization. If any church is to survive this day of change and revolution it must reduce its creed and forms to the lowest terms. It must cpase to emphasize the letter of rites and ceremonies and cleave .more closely to the spirit of love and brotherhood. I believe that the church should aim to brjng the-human race into the relationship of one grent family. The one purpose of the .church must be to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth and it must keep that purpose ever before it." The Universal ist church will hold its rally day next Sunday and a record attendance is expected. Presidential Straw Vote. The Rexall stores presidential straw vote as reported yesterday by the W.

Arc y ' jL New Dept. at Kent Normal College. The special session of the legislature last spring, acting upon the rec ommendations of the progressive school superintendents of the state, appropriated $10,000 for the estab lish'ment of a special department for the training of teachers for defec tive children, to be located at one of the State Normal colleges. Mr. T. Howard Winters, Inspector of Teacher Training in the State De partment of Education at Columbus, upon the record of the showing made in the four State schools, recommends. that this new department be estab lished at Kent Nor.mal.- In a letter to Vernon M. Rlegel, State Superintendent of Public liV-struction, Mr. Winters says: "I have studiedfccare'ully all of the item's presented to you by Dr.-Goddard in con nection with the placing of the 'money appropriated for the preparation of teachers of children of defective men tality. Supplementing this informa tion with my own knowledge of the situation, I am emphatically of the opinion that the proper place' to use this money is at Kent State Normal College." Very - few of the State Normal schools in the U. S. have made any special provision for the training of mis special group or teachers. , and because of, this Kent will attract many students fromi other states to get this special training, especially in tne summer quarter. The enrollment for the fall Quarter tins year is tne same as a year ago' about 200 students. Moses M. Owen The older residents of Kent were saddened to learn of the sudden death of Moses M.

"Yes, get my cap; I lost it some place around here," said Owen. Wooldridge took a cap from a dead soldier and placed it beside Owen. He also placed at bis side a canteen . containing some water.
