". ". ROSE SAYS PROTESTANT
 CHURCH IS DYING
Creeds Are MileStOneS Along Way of Religious Progress,
 Asserts Preacher.

.The traditional Protestant church IS dying: dying hard with colors flying and battling heroically, but neverthe- less dying. It ought to be so. The theology upon which it is built is dy- ing: and individualism which called 1t into being is dying; the social order which it expressed is dying. Why should it not die also?"
 In these words Rev. William Wal lace Rose yesterday startled his con- gregation at the Church of the Re- deemer when he took for his text For I am come that they may have life and have it abundantly." From John 1O:10.
 Other assertions made by Pastor Rose to his congregation in the ser mon which in it's entirety tended to show that Universalists not universal ism will supplant the present day sys- tems of religion are these:
 Jesus Christ came literally to off, ciate at the funeral of an outworn system of religion and to baptize with His own blood a new cause"
 "The passing of the traditional Prot estant religion does not mean that man has ceased to be religious; it means that he is more religious
 The church we need is a Sunday meeting place for people who think. I do not mean free church

Y.; Mrs. John Hassett of Bridgeport; Mrs. Schmidt of Yonkers, and the Misses Julia and Mary at home; James of Passsaic, N. J!; Michael and Thomasi of Bridgeport and John of Cemetery avenue; and several grand children.

He was em- ployed in-the rubber shop for many years, but retired to his farm on the outskirts of Sandy Hook when the rubber industry removed from the town in 1900. By intensive cultiva- tion he made of his small farm a paying proposition and a model for all farmers. He was a wide awake citizen, taking great interest in town affairs and was staunch Democrat all his life. His funeral will take place from his home, Tuesday, at g a. m. and an hour later from St. Roses church. Burial will be in St Roses cemetery.
 The board of directors of the Coun- try club, Saturday declared a divi- dend for the first six months of it's existence at the rate of 6 per cent per annum payable Oct. 16, to all stockholders of record, Oct. 2.
