Dean Sayre Installed
Al Cathedral Service
With 1900 Present

The Very Rev. Francis Bowes
Sayre, jr., was installed as dean
of Washington Cathedral yeSter-
day.
More than 5000 persons wit
messed the service in which the
Right Rev. Angus Dun, Bishop of
Washington, instituted the new
dean into his Office.
A large delegation of ministers
from East Cleveland, where Dean
Sayre served as rector of ST. Paul's
Episcopal Church from September
1947, until his election as dean
here in April, 1850, attended the
service. The present rector of st.
Paul's Church. the Rev. William
G. Worman, also attended.
First need of the church today
is ''unanimity." the Right Rev.
Beverley D. Tucker. Bishop of
Ohio. told the gathering in his
installation sermon.
"Unanimity does not mean all
holding the same opinion" Bishop
Tucker declared. THAT would be
not only stupid, but also an un-
edifying sort of fellowship. It is
because we have differing view
points and are not merely echoes
one of another that we are nee
esSary and can be useful to one
another. Each has something to
contribute which the other lacks,
and it is only in the atmosphere
of friendship around the table of
fellowship that men can~give and
take without a sense of patronage
or loss of self respect.
Bishop Dun was assisted in
the installation rite by the Rev.
Theodore o. Wedel. senior canon
of the Cathedral, and by the Rev.
Robert w. Trenbath, rector of
trinity Episcopal Church.
Ernest w. Greene. a member of
the standing committee of the
diocese. read the lesson.
Among those attending the serv-
ice were Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
Dean Sayre is a grandson of Pres
ident Wilson. He is the son of
Francis B. Sayre, United States
representative to the United Ma
tions Trusteeship Council.
Dean Sayre is the fifth dean of
the Cathedral. His predecessors
were the late Very Rev. George
c. F. Bratenahl, 1886; the Very
Rev. Noble C. Powell, now Bishop
OF Maryland, l937-41; the late
Very Rev. ze Barney Thorne Phil

degrees We're obtainable in these
disciplines he went in for pharma-
cology and finished his studies in

subsidized b. the State in the
years 1S01-C4, he made an i'm
portant tour of Germany. France
and the Netherlands, and on his
return home was appointed pro-
fessor extraordinary of physics at
the University. In the course of
some lectures held in the winter of
1S19-20 on electricity and magne-
tism with correlating experiments,
he discovered that the electrical
current influences the magnetic
needle causing it to turn according
to definite rules. This discovery
which forms the basis of the theory
of electromagnetic he published
in a leaflet written in Latin on III

Church OF Norway

The church of Norway is a typi-
cal national church, and as such is
entirely subordinate to the Stort-
ing and the King, who as "su-
preme bishop" exercises his au-
thority through the Ministry of
Ecclesiastical Affairs. The church
is divided into eight dioceses.
Under their jurisdiction there
are about 1,030 congregations,
served by about 700 clergymen,
who have received their theologi-
cal training either, at Oslo Uni
Versity or at the so-called Congre-
gational Faculty, also in Oslo.
The work of the institutional
State church is further backed up
by a considera BILE number of volun-
tary Christian lay organizations.
Their evangelists travel about the
far-flung and sparsely populated
country preaching the Gospel, thus
forming a valuable supplement to
the work of the clerg,.
Few Dissenters
According to the general census
of 1916, 3,O36,s44 persons were
formally registered as belonging
to the Lutheran State Church,
while 120,106 persons $3.50 were
formally outside the State Church
The dissenting bodies were Roman
Catholics (4,905), Greek Catholics
(293), Presbyterian (20), Metho-
dists 11,1S6), Baptists 1868, Ad-
ventists (4,642), Quakers (63),
Lutheran Free Congregations d.

tolic Congregation (234, Evan
gelical Congregation (7O), Congre-
cation of Christ (5SS), Congrega-
tions of Pentecost, (24,751, other
societies practicing baptism of
adults (63O), Catholic Apostolic
Congregation G3S), Jehova's Wit
ness (963), Christian Science
(17D, Utitarians and various
smaller societies Il 1909, Mormons
(719, Orthodox Jews (559); for
mally not belonging to any church
(23,O5S).
Between so and 900 of all mar
riages are instituted by the State
Church. Nearly all children are
baptized and confirmed. and near
~ all deceased buried by the
church. Incidentally, the Bible is
Norway's best seller" In the last
year before the war about 1000
copies We're sold, and per-war fig
ures have now been reached.
The Norwegian church costs the
nation about 20 million kroner a
year, i. e., about Z kroner per
member, and for this amount they
get free services, baptism, con-
firmation wedding ceremonies, fu-
nerals, etc. The salaries and old
age pensions of the clergy are
fixed by law, and the clergymen
are economically independent of
their congregations.

THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE!
Yes, he smiles all through the
conversation. and yet he tells of
how he has been run over three
times, once by boy of Is; how
he was hit, battered and knocked
down by dope fiend one mid
night; how he broke all of his
ribs once, lost a finger, fractured
both legs. He was hospitalized for
months, losing those precious PEN
MES, counting the days-oh such
a long story of misery for he has
no relatives, just a few friends.
And then he told of the time
he was out selling shoe strings in
the Greenwood district of Seattle,
and he came into a restaurant to
order coffee and sandwiches, not
even a meal. No sir, no beggars,
and no blind folks wanted, the
boss orders. But I have money,
shall pay" said Blind John,
cropping to find the counter and
put the money down, like brass
tacks.

have said, Get the hell out Of

But Blind John didn't get mad.
He's used to rubbish and so he
was about 10 walk quietly away.
Luckily, there was a good-thinker
around and there she sat in
corner, this good thinker, and she
hollered. and she made one bang
of a noise, speaking up for all the
lost souls of humanity. as it were,
threatening to brand the restau-
rant for the rest of her life. Then,
the boss got kind, and Blind
John was recalled and the nice
lady treated him to nice dinner
and he felt good inside.
The evil never pays. and few
months later that same boss
had to move out of the neighbor-
hood and close up with a bang, so
