Tors Wednesday evening of last week.
The church people decided on Wednes-

reception as this is the regular pray
err meeting night and the pastor would
not suspicion anything. The prayer
opened according to schedule
but people kept coming in until the
was wonderful for pray
err meeting and the pastor was all
smiles to see such a turn out. But
the people kept coming and soon he
began to "smell a mouse" as he said
the very size of the crowd
gave him warning that something un-
usual was about to happen. At the
close of the service the swinging doors
in the back of the church were opened
and there was great number of bas-

more people. A program had been
