Two lads rendered effective services last
Sunday morning in saving the Reformed Church
at sSecaucus. HThe public school building ad-
Joining was destroyed by fire. During the
fierce confagration the roof of the church
caught fire several times. The lads carried
water UP the ladder in the tower, crawled out
| on the roof and extinguished the flames as
fast as they spurted up. They are now the
heroes of thisibucolic little Dutch settlement.
The new ediice erected by the Reformed
congregation of Hoboken is nearly completed.
1t is a proud monument to the zeal Of this
struggling little flock. The interior is quite
! tasteful and CHEEKY. The roof ceiling is
finished with yellow pine and cherry. The
walls are made in stucco of a soft greyish tint
and the windows will be composed of cathedral
glass of a very pretty design. 1t Will ac-
commodate about three hundred people and
cost about $16, 600. The basement will be
used by the Sunday School. 1t will be dedi-
Gated in a few weeks.

near future the congregation of the Trinity

point that way.
