II Didn't Work.

they think nothing Of keeping whole

A REWARD OF FAITH.
Conclusion Drawn from the Destruc.
ton Of an Ohio Church.

A congregation In billy district In
Ohio bought a small tract Of land and
erected church building upon 1t.
says the Youths Companion. Then
the question Of insurance came up.
Mr.. Sipes. the wealthiest member.
who had contributed more than half
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 few weeks
the building was struck by lightning
and almost totally consumed by fire.
Another one was erected. Mr.. Sipes
contributing the greater portion Of
the fund as before. This time the de.
mand was almost unanimous that 1t
be insured, but Mr.. Sipes again OBJ
jected on the same ground. III 1t
burns down again, brethren" he said.
"Ill agree to rebuild 1t myself" Again
he carried his point. In less than q
month the new church was struck by
lightning again. and although strenu.
GUS efforts were made to save 1t, the
loss was almost total. There must
be some reason for this. brethren
said Brother Sipes. II am going to
