The attendance at the Christian Endeav-

port SO favorably in regard to the attend
ance at church on Sundays, but consider
ing that the society has been without a
minister to preach on several occasions
during the past two months the attendance
is fairly GOOD, A sermon has been read
on each Sunday when no minister was
present and the reading service followed
by Sunday school. Six different minis
tiers have supplied the pulpit during the
last four months.

A singular Escape from Fire.

Last Monday evening Geo. b. Field. who
lives about one mile from the village, lit
his lantern and blew out his lamp on the
table, came down to the village and spent
the evening. Returning home about @
O'Clock he found his lamp had exploded,
breaking his sugar bowl, goblet and pep
per-shaker and destroying the table cloth.
The table was also charred considerably,
the curtain was burned and a spot on the
floor and some of the mop-board had been
scorched. The fire was out. Mr.. Field
takes quite sensible view of the accident
and says he thinks 1.-The devil set the fire
and the Lord put it out" for it was evil
dent that no one had entered the house
in his absence. To look at it from a philo-
sophical standpoint it is reasonable to sup
pose that the wick had not been trimmed
for some time and it had burned down in
to the tube and charred the wick. When he
blew out the light the spark remained and
later rekindled and that was the way the
lamp happenedto explode. Preventive, trim
and fill the lamps every day. Mr., Field feels
fire is after him. Some five or six years
ago he went out to Wisconsin to visit his
son. The village caught fire from forest
