RARE PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Pastor whose Church In ON Fire
Prevents q Stampede.

Chicago. Oct. 25.-By rare presence of
mind the Rev. DR.. James Villa Blake saved
his congregation from a panic and the
possible awful results of fire. which
broke out just as the morning services
were beginning at the Third Unitarian
church today. and which destroyed the
main part of the building. When the pas
tor took his place In the pulpit his atten-
ton was drawn to smoke In the lobby
leading to the Sunday school room. He
remained standing until the organist had
ceased playing. and then requested the
congregation to retire quietly by the rear
exits. His manner so treasured those as
sembled that panic was averted. The
church was entirely destroyed. The loss
Is SIS, 600.
