Brother Thorn seemed to feel
just like preaching Sunday and of
all the good, sound, wholesome
and souI-inspiring sermons he has
ever been able to deliver, this one
seemed to outstrip all, and there
was an uncommonly large audience
to greet him which enthuses and
inspires him very much. He is a
young man aud an able and forci-
bic speaker, and we predict some
thing great and noble for him.

Mr.. Will Wiehe, who is engaged as
salesman in the store Of j. N. Granger
Co., met with quite a painful accident
last Monday which but for the presence
OF mind and fortitude displayed by that
young man might have resulted in a
serious conflagration. Mr.. Wiehe was
lighting the lamps in the store in the
evening, when by some defect in the
pipes the gasoline spurted out and a
great fame was produced which for a
moment seemed to fill the room. Mr..
Wiehe grasped the lamp, and although
fraught with great pain and peril to him
self carried 1t out of the store and DASH
ed IL into the street. Mr.. Wiehe's hands
and arms were severely burned but he
had the satisfaction of knowing that the
building and its contents were saved.
