the money needed for the new struc-
ture, declared that he did not believe
In insurance. This Is the Lords
building. He'll take care OF It." he
said.
His view prevailed. and there was
no insurance. In a few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected. Mr.. Sipes con-
trlbuting the greater portion of the
fund as before. This time the demand
was almost unanimous that 1t be in

on the same ground.

Thereupon be employed force OF

found, and the church propercy was
sold for many times the amount
needed to buy land in another locality
