Ciaarette Fire Aaafn.

The auto bumper responded to a call for a fire on the roof of the Shields building on Lower Broadway Wednes- day afternoon. The fire was out when they arrived and their services were not needed. This is probably rother of the frequent cigarette fires that break out on the roof of this building. Someone in the adjoining buildings seems to be very careless where they throw their cigarette butts.

and wants to know how to relate his life to Christ. The next man is jockey, who in the midst of his sins enlisted in order that he might die for others and try to atone for his past life. The next is a red checked boy who has just come back from the hos pftal, recovering from the poison gas. Nine hundred and sixty of them went over the top" ( l. e., into the charge) together. Eighty of them came back.
 My eye falls on a single page of this mornings paper with five thousand names on the casualty list. Everyone represents a heartbroken mother or a grieving home, and millions are scan- ming the columns daily to see if their boys name is there. And every day these boys are dying for me, giving their lives to make a world worth their having died for. I think of this vicarious sacrifice night by night as I shake hands and say goodbye for the last time to battalion which starts in the morning for the front.
 When this reaches you I will be in France, that is, from the first of Sep tember on. My old friend Callan of India writes me from a place where he has eight or ten thousand men every night in the Young Mems Christian Association huts. "If you could come to France for September and October you would have such an opportunity as you have never before faced. The whole manhood of the British Empire can be reached for Christ in this great crisis. And it must be in the next few months. If these multitudes of men go back untouched by the spirit of God it will be the greatest disaster the world has faced. If they go baci with living faith the possibilities for the Church and Kingdom of Christ are unbounded."
 If ever in my life I needed your prayers it is now. Every night dur ing September and October l shall be fa cling these throngs of men, and the nearer they get +o the trenches the more earnest and sober they are. Vii you not pray that there may be a mighty outpouring of Gods spirit in this hour not only of national but world need .and that thousands upon thousands may be. won for Christ dur ing these days of tragis need and op- portunity? I write this letter as a plea for prayer only.

| STEAM FIRE ENGINE
 READY FOR USE
Tryout at Rockwell Street on We'd nesday Afternoon Proved satisfac- tory.

Wednesday afternoon the Metropol- itan steam engine at the Central Fire station was given a thorough test at the hydrant located at the corner of Rockwell street and Mckinley av- enue. As it is rated at 750 gallons a minute. the engine did this very sat- isfactorily, demonstrating what good use it will be in case of a big fire.
 Chief Stanton says the engine is ready for ction and will certainly give good service. As there are no hors- es ro draw the engine it would be necessary to transport it by means of auto. The engine since the acquisi- tion of the auto bumper does not re- spond to ordinary fires but will be kept in shape for use when needed.
