mind is that Of church whose trustees have been re-
peatedly warned of the peculiar and mrninert danger
to which its audiences are exposed. Regularly, On
Sabbath morning and evening, every foot of standing
and sitting room is occupied the ases and open spaces
being filed with movable seats. The building s so
situated that for comparatively tring expense, its
means Of exit could be made adequate to any probable
