the idea that q course from the

Innocent Furnace Sends
 In an Alarm for Fire

Shortly after z o'clock this morn- ing. persons residing on Church street and those passing through that thor oughfare, were attracted by the ring ing Of the fire alarm in front of the Adkins Printing Co. The sounding of the bell brought Deputy Erie Chief Eugene F. Barnes and Captain Ed ward Woods of the Hook & Ladder company to the scene. Gaining access to the cellar, the firemen discovered that a sprinkler over boiler had burst and that this automatically set off the alarm at the front of the building. Deputy Chis Barnes shut off the water system in the building but not before some damage had been done to the stock in room adjoining the boiler room. It, is the opinion that the heat from the boiler caused the lead on the sprinkler to melt.

All people should take thought of the deeper things of life. and the Len- ten season is the best time for that according to Rev. Henry w. Maier, in the first series of Lcnten sermons de- iivered yesterday in the First Congre- gational church. Rev Henry w. Maicr spoke as follows:
 ''rhe Lenten season is time for taking thought about the deeper things of life. that we may ander- stand that which is of real value to man.
 The deepening and broadening of our natures and our lives is that which is worth most to us. To do this we must think of God and how :. to relate our lives to him. because He is the source and the sustainer of our lives.
 Jesus, the Christ. is the great sav- ing factor in our lives and in the world. We think of Him as saving us from the. consequences of sin. What He wants to do is to save us from shining and from fear which are mans. greatest foes.
 He saw that he must leave the world. but he told His followers that when He went the Holy Spirit would come and dwell in them to lead them into all truth and he their strengthen CT in overcoming sin. L
