j While the congregation of the M.
e. Church was at prayer near the
close of the service Monday night, one
of the lights fell off. The escaping gas
quickly ignited between the ceiling
and roof. The congregation got out in
safety. A general alarm was made
by ringing the bells Of that church
and the Presbyterian Church. The
fire was between the ceiling Ind roof
making it hard to get at. A ladder
was put up in the Vestibule and the
fire was successfully fought to a i'm
ish. A small section of the metal cell
ing was torn off. There was some
damage by water to seats and car
pet. The lighting system used is one
that generates a gas from gasoline.
The trouble seemed to be caused by
| too much pressure which exploded
one of the pipes and the falling lamp
was the first warning Of fire, flames
an instant later shot down through
the ceiling. This is the third time the
church has been on fire.
