FILE LAST LEHR
TRIAL AFFIDAVITS

On Tuesday, Dr. J. W. Lehr, of
Wooster, convicted of performing an
illegal operation upon Margaret Hogue
of Brunswick, by his attorneys, filed
four affidavits. M. A. Tatum of Guy
ahoga county made an affidavit as to
the street car schedule. Henry Itsen-

been performed he saw Kempton
Daugherty's horse and buggy stand
ing in front of DR.. Lehr's Office be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock.
DR.. R. A. Beichele says that it
would be a physical impossibility to
have performed a criminal operation
in the length of time that Margaret
Hogue testified to.
H. U. Mowery, who measured the
distance from the car barn to the
steps that lead to DR.. Lehr's office,
says it is about 1,400 feet.

FAMOUS PASTOR POKES
IT TO SOME CHURCH

Rev., Roy B. Guild, D. D., of New
York, for many years friend of Rev.
H. S. Fritsch, now secretary of the
Commission on Federated Movements
of the Federal Council of the Churches
Of Christ in America, gave an 'interes-
ing address on "The Church's Job" at
the Congregational church last Sunday
morning.
DR.. Guild in his address said that
the business of the church is to make
earth more heavenlike. It's job is to
produce and develop kingdom builders.
The success of a church can not be
measured by the members who go in
to it as worshipers, but by the number
who go out from it as workers. He
said that all that some churches do is
to keep the trail hot to the door of
newcomers in the community in the
hope of landing them in their own
church, and if, perchance, they fail to
do so, they drop them as if they had
picked up hot stove by mistake.
All some church officers do is to
"hold" Office. DR.. Guild believes that
we are at the dawn of new era, when
the church will quit building denomin-
ational fences, but will get down to
the business of building up the king
dom of God.
DR.. Guild was formerly Congrega-
tional Home Missionary Superinten-
dent of Illinois, and before accepting
his present interdenominational posi-
ton has held the following important
denominational positions: field secre-
tary of the Congregational Church
Building society, secretary of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement; pas
tor of Central Congregational church,
Topeka, Kansas, Chas. M. Sheldon's
church, of "In His Steps" fame.
DR.. Guild spoke in the Lutheran
church Of Wadsworth Sunday even
ing, and came back to address spec
ial meeting of the County Ministerial
association Monday forenoon.

WILL HAVE GOOD ROAD

Secretary Grover Reese, Andrew B,
Auble and Frank B. Burch, of the Ak
ron Automobile club, were in Wads-
worth one day last week consulting
with officers of the Wadsworth Auto
mobile club relative to cindering the
unimproved road between Wadsworth
and Akron. The new pavement east
of Western Star is now open for traf-
fc, leaving only little more than a
mile of dirt road to the Norton Center
pavement.
|. The plan agreed upon is to cinder
this stretch of unimproved road so it
can be used throughout the winter.
The cinders will be put on to depth
of eight inches, and nine feet wide.
The road leading into Barberton from
the Barber concrete plant is already
cindered so that with the proposed
work completed, there will be- good
roads between Wadsworth and Akron.

ANAPOLOGY

AT a lecture given in the Congrega-
tional church Wednesday evening,
Judge George Alden saw fit to
certain persons who occu-
pied one portion Of the church. A
careful survey reveals the following
facts.
Several contributing to this an
noyance belonged to the Medina high
school, few were grade students and
a larger number were outside of the
schools. At mass meeting address
ed by Supt. Edmund Thursday morn
ing two hundred and forty high school
students, without a dissenting vote,
placed themselves on record as follows
l. That the conduct Of these stu
dents was indefensible; that the entire
high school is ashamed and that we
unanimously support Mr.. Edmund's
verdict that these students have
placed themselves outside the pale of
the high school until suitable amends
have been made by them.
2. That this example set by less
than two per cent. Of our students
does not correctly voice the ideals of
the student body and we respectfully
ask your suspended judgment.
3. That in as far as possible, we
correct the evil by affording all per-
sons at last nights lecture an addition
al attraction free Of charge.

STUDY FOREIGN MISSIONS

A most interesting study service for
Foreign Missions was held at the
home of Mrs. C. o. Clark last Monday
afternoon. The leader of the meet
ing was Mrs. w. A. Stanley and the
subject was India, with special ref
erence to the mass meeting toward
Christianity which Is now taking place
in that land. Among the lower castes
of that country, which are the descen-
dents of the original inhabitants, there
is turning toward Christianity in
groups Of villages, on a scale not be-
fore known to Christian missions in
that land, There are at present more
than one million people waiting for
the teaching which the missionaries
insist on being necessary before the
heathen are allowed to be baptized.
The outlook is thus most promising
and the ladies thoroughly enjoyed the
study Of the details Of this successful
laspect Of foreign missionary work.

LONG and PATIENT
SUFFERING ENDED

Death relieved the long suffering of
Mrs. Barbara G. Witzeman Of 256 E.
Smith Road, on Monday morning, Dec.
6, at 6:3O o'clock. She was the wife

ago she underwent an operation for
cancer, which afforded temporary re-
lief, but her condition soon began to
wane and for the past eight months
she was confined to her bed. For sew
eral months preceding and up to the
hour Of death the deceased's mother,
who resides in Middletown, O., had
been with her.
Mrs. Witzenlan was naturally of "a
very retiring nature and one who was
prominently endeared to her home.
Those Of her most intimate acquain-
tance knew her to be an unusually in
telligent, kindly and in all ways a
lovable woman.
She is survived by the husband,
mother and several brothers and sis
ters, the latter being widely separated
and none of whom were able to be
present at the, funeral.
Funeral services were held from the
home on Wednesday afternoon at
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Philip Kel-
ser, after which burial was made in
Spring Grove cemetery.

SUCCESSFUL WORK OF
FORMER medina GIRL

In commenting upon some of Cleve-
lands women who have made and are
making good in business way, the
Plain Dealer of last Sunday had the
following to say of Miss Caroline
Lowe, a former Medina girl:
when Miss Caroline B. Lowe had
been teaching several years she deter
mined that there must be a way for
every pupil to sing well, provided, of
course, he was willing to work.
And SO it became practically a life.
quest with Miss Lowe to find that way
Always she had been told BY her
teachers, You must sing. like this''
or "Do it so", and then those great
teachers would illustrate the thing
they meant.
But always she had replied, "How
do you do it,"
Miss Lowe has studied in Paris and
London and Berlin, in Italy and New
York and Chicago.
She has always been determined to-
find some one who could not only say,
"Do it so" but tell her so clearly the
"How of singing" that she could i'm
part that knowledge to other people.
At last she found the answer to her
question. That is doubtless why Miss
Lowe has had such a marked success
in the teaching of both the speaking
and singing voice in breathing and in
tone production.
Last week Miss Lowe was chosen to
dedicate an organ in Wisconsin and a
fortnight ago she played on the great
exposition organ in Buffalo, while dur
ing the past summer she was the only
woman who enjoyed the distinction of
giving recitals on the great outdoor
organ at the San Diego exposition.
