Six More Added To
Christian Church On
Sunday
(Contributed.l

The Christian church revival meet
ing being held in the court house
reached its greatest development and
interest yesterday, when at both
services the largest AUDIENCES yet
listened to Evangelist Ramsey as he
reasoned and pleaded with people to
accept the viii of God and honor
His Son. During the day there were
four confessions of faith and two
added By statement. These make
81 accessions during the meet
ing and give the local congregation
membership Of fifty-eight. This
is nearly a two hundred per cent
increase since organization in April,
Mr.. Ramsey's sermons of yester-
day were exceptionally strong and
helpful. There can be no misunder-
standing him and his call to service
for the Savior was most striking
and convincing. Last night he show
ed the work Of the forces of evil
as against Righteousness in the sin
Of substitution. He urged that we
do not try to substitute anything for
the Bible, the church, of the plain
teaching of truth. He fearlessly
pointed out the sin of religious di-
visions and the evil results accruing
therefrom. Those who heard him
must thoughtfully consider the force
full statements made and supported
with words from Divine writ
The meeting goes on indefinitely
this week. 1t is hoped the evange-
list may complete the entire week.
The subject for tonight is "The Re
turn to Jerusalem" Where will we
find the Jerusalem gospel, church
and teaching? Eight p. m. is the
hour.

Development Of the dormant quail
ties in childhood, the inescapable re-
suits of heredity, and the power Of
environment upon the person, were the
principal threads used by DR.. M. A.
Honline. religious educational lecturer,
in weaving his message delivered Sun
day night at the East Main street
Friends church. 1t was the second in
a series of eight lectures which are to
be given by DR.. Honline under auspices
of the City Sunday School association.
While the Sunday afternoon and
night meetings were held at the East
Main Street Friends church. the after
noon and night meetings which follow
each day, ending Wednesday night,
will be given in the First English
Lutheran church. Afternoon meetings
will open at 4 o'clock, and night ses-
sions at 7:3O o'clock.
What an individual becomes at any
time in his existence depends on three
things" began DR.. Honline, opening
the way to a natural discussion of the
making Of an adult--the finished pro-
duct. "They are: what he is, what he
has, and what he does. What he is
depends on heredity; what he has. en-.
vironment; and what he does, upon
what he is and what he has.
ut takes three things to make a
good corn crop-good seed. good soil
and the right kind Of cultivation. The
same is true if you are to grow a good
human crop"

into a recitation Of statistics proving

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT
ANXIOUS TO REOPEN
MINE NEGOTIATIONS
fRv A associated Press)

LONDON, April 1S.--Governmental
authorities were anxious today to re-
open negotiations between the miners
and the owners of collieries through
out the United Kingdom with the the
hope of bringing about a permanen.
settlement of the wage question
which caused the strike of miners
April /, and came near involving
Great Britain last week in an epochal
industrial crisis.
There seemed little probability, how
ever, that members OF the miners fed
Grafton of Great Britain would take
any steps 20 meet government officials
or mine owners before next Friday,
when representatives of British min
ers will confer on the situation in this
city.
In the meantime Great Britain is
facing a serious coal shortage and
every effort is being made to exc ou:
present stocks until some adjustment
of the situation can be made. Begin
ming today, train services were cur
tailed, and steps taken to bring to the
people realization that the coal
shortage was really serious.
Hold Mass Meeting.
A mass meeting of the members of
the Coal Porters' Union was held in
Canning Town. a suburb of London,
yesterday, and resolutions were adopt.
ed, stating that, in view Of the inn
portation of American and German
coal, the union would defuse from to-
morrow to bunker any full loads and
also would decline to trans-ship i'm
ported coal.
The first decision was taken because
since the beginning Of the coal strike

outward voyages. taking in foreign
coal for their return trips.
The meeting adopted resolutions OF
sympathy for the miners, but it is
noteworthy in this connection to note
that the coal porters belong to the
National Union of Dock Laborers, the
secretary of which, james Sexton.
member of parliament. ridiculed in an
interview yesterday talk about the
miners having been "betrayed.' He
declared that dock laborers bad been
ready to support the miners, but that
after the government had accepted
the suggestions of Frank Hodges, sec
retary of the miners union, which the
moners' delegates later detected, there
was no longer any basis upon which
the dock workers could continue their
support.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
FUND DECREASING.
while WORK GROWS

Increased vocational education In
Indiana, and a decreased tax levy to
provide for the work, will make il i'm
possible for the state vocational board
to pay to vocational schools now in
operation al much during the next two
years as they are receiving. This In
formation was given by H. G. McComb,
formerly vocational supervisor here.
but who is now connected with the
state board of education at Indianapo-
lis, while on a visit to the Richmond
schools, Monday.
A report from the board Of school
trustees, superintendent and princi-
pals in this state, explains the situa-
tion as follows:
anticipating the deficit occasioned
by the increase in vocational educa-
tion and the decrease in the proceeds
of the tax levy. an appeal was made
to the last legislature to restore the
tax levy to its original amount, one
cent. The legislature. however. saw
fit to fix the levy at one half cent.
Funds Reduced.
Under these conditions the avail
able funds for the next two years will
be largely reduced and the expendi
lures must also be largely reduced
The expenditures for the current year
1920-1921, partly estimated, are $496,
291. 1t is obvious that the income
for the next two years ig far from suf
ficient to enable the state board tc
pay to vocational schools now in op
Grafton as much as they are now re
ceiving, even if no new schools are
aided"
This situation is handicapping vOca
tional work in Indiana, according tc
both Mr.. McComb and n. F. Fu!tz
local director. Notwithstanding the
inadequacy of state funds for the
next two years, the state board is urg
additional courses wherever needed
Even though financial aid may not be
given, the state board will, through
in the form of supervision and advice
to any school corporation desiring tc
establish vocational schools, accord
ing to the report.
Mr.. McComb said that a rehabilita
tion department has been added to the
state board. This department will aid
in teaching persons handicapped by
physical injury to learn a trade and
support themselves in spite of the loss
of arm or leg. The state board has
$11 900 for use this year in this work
To this amount will be added a like
sum by the federal government, which
brings the total to $4,000. Next veal
the board will have $4,000 for the
work and the government will con
tribtue the same amount, bringing thu
total to $54 1000.

in the city hall Monday night
