CHURCH
DESTROYED
Erected by Rev. Nor
Gan Wells, Formerly
of This City.
Destruction of Baptist Property
In Texas Very Mysterious.

The Advocate has received q
copy of the Fort Worth, Texas
Record, containing a full and
graphic account of the destruction.
of the First Baptish Church i'm
that city. This church was erect
ed through the efforts of the late
j. Morgan Wells, formerly pastor
of the First Baptist Church, of
this city. He was its first pastor
and it was known as the Wells
Church.
On the night of January 18th the
home of Mrs. Wells, who has re-
sided in Fort Worth since her
husbands death in 1896, was par
italy destroyed by fire; on Janu-
airy 9th fire again broke out in the
Wells residence, and the day fol-
lowing the Wells Church was dam
aged to the amount of $4,000 by
fire of mysterious origin. On
January 18th two shots were fred
through a window at Rev. Norris,
the present pastor, while he was
seated at desk in his stndy. On
January 10th a thief secured 5000.
in silverware from the Wells resi-
dence, and on February 4th the
church was set on fire and totally
destroyed. The other denomina-
tions came to the aid of the Bap--
lists in every way. A mass meet
ing of the citizens was held and
one thousand dollars was raised
and offered as a reward for the
perpetrator of these acts.
Many of our older citizens re-
member the great revival held at
the HarrodSburg Baptist Church
in October, 1871, conducted by
Rev. Graves, an evangelist.
Scores united with the church.
One night James M. Wells, then a
boy of sixteen. was dealing faro
bank close by the church. Hav-
ing heard much about the meet
ings, the young man closed the
game, telling the players that he
wanted to hear the preacher. He
attended the service and occupied
a back seat, and when the invita-
ton was given he arose and went
to the front and united with the
church. He entered the ministry,
graduated at Georgetown College,
and become one of the foremost
Baptist preachers of his day.
Through his instrumentality thou
sands were led into the better way
and though he has passed into the
better land his name is still re-
vered by all who knew him. Mr..
Wells was buried in the church
yard of the church that has just
been destroyed, his being the only
mound in the church yard enclos-
ure. At the Wednesday night
prayer meeting preceding his
death, he stated that when his
earthly labors were ended he
wanted to rest at this spot to.

ton.

No More Than Fair.

A noted lawyer of Tennessee, who la- bored under the defects of having a high temper and of being deaf, walked into a courtroom presided oyer by a younger man, of whom the older prac- titioner had small opinion.
 Presently, in the hearing of motion, there was clash bstween the lawyer and the judge. The judge ordered the lawyer to sit down, and as the lawyer, being deaf, didn't hear him and went on talking, the judge fined him $10 for contempt.
 The lawyer leaned toward the clerk and cupped his hand behind, his ear.
 What did he say?" he inRFTed.
 "He fined you $10," explained the clerk. 'For whatw
 "For contempt of court" said the clerk.

 On one occasion he by mistake sen tenced a man to transportation who had been convicted of crime punish able by death. Having been set right by the clerk of the court, his lordship gravely exclaimed:
