when fire broke out after the stroke the
fremen experienced greater difficulty in

Insurance companies have a higher rate
for structures with such tall spires, and it has
been found more practical to erect church
buildings without such costly and useless
ornaments
The church steeple always contained bell.
The church bell is not needed in former
years. The people know the time Of SER
vices, and the ringing of church bells in both
town and city is fast being done away with
by many congregations.
