was a rush for the doors and for a few
moments 1t appeared as though there
would be a dangerous panic. Rev. w. c..
Barnes, of the University of Chicago, and
John III. Thorpe, president of the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor.

and tried to save the altar. but was unable
to do so. He carried out the altar cloth
