ded PROMPTLY and soon had two heavy

too soon. The janitor had rekindled the

to a shell in some places and smoke in great
volumes was pouring up through the cracks
and had filed the audience room to suffo

promptness and system and succeeded in
saving the church with but little damage
by water, Only the carpeting was injured

of valuables, as far as it was possible, was
complete carrying them over to the rectOry.
