and with the help of some boys from
town who were up and had discovered
the blaze, got the horses out The
building was then in a mass of flames
and it was impossible to save the other
contents. Mr.. Johnson very luckily
knew where the key to the barn was
kept hidden, or all the teams and sad
die horses in the barn would have been
burned. as the fire was under great
Roadway when Mr.. Johnson arrived on
the scene.
Boats from Creston had just trans
ported in large loads of feed, both hay
and oats, which went up in the flames
Nine new manila cables, worth a thou
sand dollars each, and several wire ca
bles and other drilling equipment were
also stored in the barn and were
destroyed. All the wagons, buggies,
harness and saddles, together with the

thirty-five thousand dollars, but it is
fully insured.

RELIGIOUS LAXITY
IN HOME SCORED
Rev. Dr.. James E. Freeman
Blames Lack of Proper
Education of Children.

Denouncing the laIity surrounding
the religious education of young peo-
pie of today, Rev. DR.. James E. Free
man. rector of the Church of the
Epiphany, called on the parents of his
parish to correct this evil in an ad-
dress last night to members of his
congregation, who are cooperating
in the campaign of religious educa =
tion now under way.
Many children are being reared
from birth in an atmosphere of super
ficiality so far as religion is con-
cerned, the rector declared. My at
ntion has been drawn to a number
of cases where the solemn event of
haptizing babies into the church has
been regarded by parents and spon-
sors as a function of social impor-
tance," DR.. Freeman stated
Just as the Solemnity of baptism
tionS of socially inclined parents. so
is the Importance of educating chill
dren into the principles of the church
overshadowed by worldly traits of
mothers and fathers. the rector point
ed out. The waywardneSs of the pres
ent generation is due to lack of proper
rearing in the home and to the slight
ing of the church. he said.
Rev. Freeman urged the members
to continue their assistance in the
program of services and meetings
20 under auspices of the rector's Spe-
cial educational committee OF the
Layman'S Service Association. This
program includes an open forum and
mass meeting tomorrow night, led BY
Charles f. Wilson.
