tious have been in attendance every

very helpful. Twenty-one new mem

all grown people and a larger part OF

Join soon. The Sunday evening con-
gregations have been exceptionally
large, filling the church to its utmost
capacity. These meetings will con-

number are still seeking. Everybody
welcome. Good singing and short

An alarm of fire was rung in from
box Is last Sunday night about y
o'clock, which proved to a fire in the
unoccupied stores on the boardwalk
and Taylor avenue, owned by Louis
Goldstein, of Philadelphia. A strong
west wind was blowing and at first it
seemed that the whole block would be
consumed, but the united efforts of the
Holly Beach and Wildwood fire COM
panies subdued the flames after about
an hour of hard work. The origin of
the fire is still a mystery, but is gener-
ally believed to have been accidently
set by some one who was seeking
shelter from the wind and the cold.
The damage will amount to a few hun
dred dollars.
