Fire in Antioch Church
As the congregation at Antioch NJ
p. Church was singing the closing
hymn for the preaching service last
Sunday morning. the church was dis
covered TO be on fire. Ladders were
found nearby and bucket brigade was
hastily formed. The fire was soon put
out. II evidently was caused by de-
fective fue, as the damage was around
the chimney and ceiling of the room.
On account of its location it was hard
TO fight and a dense smoke hampered
getting close to the fire The actual
damage was small.
