One of the objects which attracts

built by Dominican monks in the
palmy days of SPANS power. Aeord-
ing to tradition, when the supports
were removed from one of the chiet
archways it tumbled TO the ground.
Another was built in its place, but It
too fell. The experiment was repeat
ed the third time with a similar re-

At last an old monk. who was not
supposed to know anything about
architecture or engineering, had
dream In which was presented to him
plan for constructing an arch which
would stand, relates writer in Path

built according to the plan thus
evolved. The arch was almost nat
and made of ordinary brick. Every
body in Panama-with one exception
expected to see this arch fall as the
others had done. But the old monk
who conceived it had faith in his
dream. When the supports were re
moved he stood under the arch Win

What my Church Stands For
There was fine attendance and
much interest.
In the evening Mr. Moyle spoke on
The Purpose of the Sabbath. He
spoke from Mark 2.27 and rs. His
remarks were clear and convincing
and of real value. He considered
that it would be far better for our
country and for our institutions II We
still held to the custom of the Pill
grims. God rested on the seventh
day. The nation needs rest. Society
needs it; genius needs it; the COM
munity needs it, This law of rest
for the seventh day, tested by med
ical societies, has shown that Gods
laws are for mans good. 1t is bet

day than health, happiness and-char-

Sunday Wind Helps
Clear Ice from River

The high wind of Sunday broke up
the ice in the River, and along both
shores the river is now clear of ice.
The day was clear but the windmade
it rather disagreeable and far FROM
springlike. Several automobile par
ties came over the State Highway
from Portland. and one from Lewis
ton but declared that the trip was a
hard one, as the roads were still in
very bad condition. The car which
had come from Lewiston was a r-aine

Sunday at the Old South

The morning service at the Old
South church had a real message.
Rev. Mr.. Bradford spoke from num-
bers II ;33, And while the flesh was
yet between their teeth; ere yet t
was chewed, the wrath of the Lord
was kindled against the people and
the Lord smote the people with
very great plague" In introduction.
he spoke of that cemetery on the
Arabian hillside where the Israelites
encamped. Then he told the story
Of the exodus, the dissatisfaction of
the people with their fare and their
longing for the flesh pots of Egypt;
their selfishness. Each life, he said,
must pass through the wilderness. on
its way from Egypt to Canaan. Sell
fishness brings destruction. as it did
to the Israelites. The music was e--
cellent, including two anthems and a
response.
The Sunday school sessions are in
creasing in attendance and interest.
A week ago there were one hundred
and forty present. The opening ex-
ercises, in charge Of Miss Lou BY
ker, are of especial interest.
In the evening there was a short
praise service, with talk by the
pastor. then the picture, THE Light
that Failed" was shown. The even
ing attendance was very large.

FOUGHT 10000 Fires

y Less than sixty, a mountain OF
man Fire Marshal Arthur +. SeE-
'ferlich is the antithesis of the griz-
zled veteran 1 had been expecting to
meet. Perhaps it is the eternal en-
erey of Chicago. | don't know
But here is the chief of a fire depart
'ment of over twenty five hundred
men who has personally fought some
ten thousand fires. No man can
serve in the Chicago Fire Depart
ment long without flirting with death
at his elbow. Seyferlich, in his
thirty five years, has had many such
flirtatiops. His closest call came
back in 1870 when he was a battalion
chief. A nasty fire had been dis
covered in the basement of whole
sale meat market Carrying into ex-
ecution the departmental theory of
getting at the heart of the fire, he
was crawling along the basement
floor in the dark. Suddenly the hot
acrid air changed in odor A wave
of gas, at once sickeningly sweet and
soaring. blinded his eyes and burn
ed his nose and throat. The am
monia tanks had let go! He swung
about, hlindly trying to fight his way
back then plunged to the floor un-
the flames not twenty feet
away. Hours later, it seemed, the
last man of his company. cutting
across the rear of the room to escape,
felt his boot strike a metal object.
He stopped. found Seyferlich's hat,
then Seyferlch himself, face down in
the water. He dragged him into the
open air. For ten and a half hour
Seyferlich lay unconscious. But he
was on duty the following day. Ex-
eept for that assing booted foot that
happened TO strike his metal hat.
