Biew "A Window Out

was 50 great here that a stained glass
| window was blown out of the Preshy-

wind came caused some wonder, but Is
probably explained by the fact that
| though the wind came With great force
against the west side of the church a
vacuum was created on the opposite side
which pulled the center window out on
that side. 1t happened just before the
evening service and IL was thought best
and safest to dismiss the congregation
