Fire Completely
Destroys Only
W.B. Warehouse

White Bluffs was visited by O dis
astrous and spectacular fire Sunday
night, when the old White Bluffs
warehouse burned to the ground.
The cause OF the fire Is as yet UNI
determined, but II surely did a
thorough job as the only thing saw
ed from the building was the add
ing machine. Oil and spray mater
tails in the building sent flames high
in the air, and made it visible thirty
miles away. Materials stored In the
Cold Storage were smoked, but 9TH
erwise unchanged, as the thick
concrete walls held the flames in
check. This warehouse has been
opened every season since 1922
when 1t was first established as the
Spokane Fruit Growers Warehouse,
later being taken over by the White
Bluffs Warehouse Company. Fortu-
nately the wind was In the best d.
rection possible for the safety OF
the town, so no damage was done TO
any other buildings. The loss was
partly covered by insurance. This
is the first warehouse fire for White
Bluffs, but the third disastrous fire
in the past few months. In each
case, the fire was discovered too
late to salvage anything.

at every inn for Child was to be born
and shelter needed to be obtained.
"Oh, Madam, have you any room for
an extra lodger ?" Sorry, l haven't
l have so many in my family coming
home tonight that can find no room
for strangers so out in the cold you
must stay, through the storm you
must travel on, through the darkness
you must grope as my house and all
my family serve only ourselves"
The Mother of Jesus travels on and
stops at another dwelling. "Have you
any room tonight?" eyes," came the
reply, "but not for such as you. Ny
sheets are all cleaned and my bed
linens are dry and cannot have room
for the poor or the needy. My ex-
penses are high and all my dodgers pay
me well so if you have not your fare
you'll have to go elsewhere"
The Mother of Jesus travels on and
stops at the inn. The innkeeper comes
to the door, "There is no room for you
tonight. We are here to make merry
and cannot be disturbed by your
troubles. All our rooms are taken and
we cannot find room for you so go thy
way for there is no room at the inn"
But today the Christ child is born.
He was born in a manger among
cattle and lived his life and fulfilled
his cause and died among thieves. He
is still looking to be born, not in a
manger, not in an inn but in your
heart.
He knocks continuously, seeking and
begging entrance for a lodging in your
life. He wants you to make room for
Him as He cannot be born in that
heart which is crowded with sin, which
is crowded with lust, which is crowded
with adultery, which is crowded with
drunkenness, which is crowded with
false pride, which is crowded with i'll
gotten gains. He wants to be born in
a heart that is seeking for that cleans
ing power, for that sin-stain eraser so
that He may not be molested by those
forces which seek to destroy Him and
in the end become destroyed.
He wants first place or He'll take
no place; He wants all of you or He'll
take none of you; He wants you to
open your heart uncompromisingly to
HIM and shut out every aspect of evil.
He wants to be born in your heart
so that He may bless you; so that He
may fill you with everlasting Joy; so
