recent convention of the Union held at
Hallow ell resigned his office Tuesday
evening at d meeting of the kenncbcc
County Christian Endeavor Union. Mr..
Iaydch's reason Tor not taking up the
work of the Union is that he believes.
as he has but recently entered upon
work at Gardiner. that for time at
least all his energies ought to be di-
rectcd toward furthering the interests
or the parish and church 70 which it,
has been called. Mr.. Hayden was NOT
present at the meeting OF the conven-
ton ~ the time when the election
took place. and accordingly the matter
of whether or not he would finally ac-
cept the office had been q question
which was referred to the committee.

During the storm at 9;15 O'clock Sun
dap evening the Norwegian Lutheran
Coon Prairie church was struck by
lightning and completely ruined by the
conflagration that followed the flash.
The walls still remain standing, but the
action of fire upon lime rock renders
it entirely unfit for use, and in the
event OF the reconstruction of the
church, they must be razed The few
eye-witnesses attest to its being a
terrifcally hot fire. The stone belfry
acted as a chimney up which the flames
roared as in a blast furnace. So in
tense was the heat that the huge bell
was melted as though it had been cast
from wax. Through lack of ade-
quate facilities, any effort to success
fully combat the flames was rendered
impossible. Rev. Halvorson, with the
assistance of several others, succeeded
in saving the beautiful altar pas,
small organ and a few chairs, all
else being entirely consumed Hardly
a scant half-hour elapsed between the
breaking forth of the e and the COM
plete destruction of the belfry. The
heavy roof soon followed in it's steps,
crashing down into the fiery furnace
below it. In but two hours the flaming
pile resolved itself into mass of glow
ing embers.
The church was constructed in the
year 1875, and was dedicated in 1884.
The original cost was in the neighbor-
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1909-04-14

hood of $50, 900. Such structure would
cost third more if built at the present
time. Since 1876 a considerable amount
Of time and money has been expended
in materially adding to the interior de-
corations and in permanent improve
ments upon the building proper. To
place the loss at $40, 600 would indeed,
be a conservative estimate. Only 50, 900
insurance was carried, thus rendering
the loss the more severe. EXteriorly
the well known house of worship was
impressively imposing, and the interior
was adelight to the eye in it's surpassing
beuty and richness of setting. Only a
few year ago a splendid pipe organ was
installed at a cost of 81, 800. The van
dal hand of flame meted out to all of
these sacred treasures a common fate.
Since 1872, Rev. H. Halvorsen has
ministered to the spiritual needs of his
Charge continually, and watched the
congregation grow from mere hand
ful to one of the largest and richest in
the state, now comprising about two
hundred and fifty families the church
being known as the largest and richest
of any in the state outside of the large
cities. The present site is considerably
south of the center of population in
relation to the church membership, and
no doubt strong effort will be put
forth by the four hundred Westby mem
bers to have the new edifice erected in
that village.
