Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 1. -One

smouldering ashes, and hundreds of
thousands of bushels of grain and

'The fire occurred en Friday and was
the worst ever known in Dakota.
Faulk county, which lies 200 miles
north of here, had raised enormous
crops this year, and the farmers were

by the most desperate exertions.
' The burned district covers an area 20

So' far no loss of life is reported, but

The history. ofthe congregation is
interesting, and nyost-inspiring-to-thvsia
laboring in similar fields. Four years
ago the members of Erskine church
established a mission in that district ih
charge of Mr. Rochester,, then a divin-
ity student at the Presbyterian College
here, but now an established minister
in the Canadian Northwest. The
mission developed rapidly and within
•a year the, attendance increased from
about half a dozen to twenty. The
greetings were then held in a private
house on Notre Dame street. As the
congregation grew, larger quarters had
to be secured and a tenement was
rented near by front a Mr. Charron,
when the meetings • continued to.
increase. About this time Mr.
Rochester was succeded by Mr. E. A.
Mackenzie (also ' of, the Presbyterian
College) who still continues to minister
tt) the congregation. In July, 1890,
an agitation began for the erection of
larger quarters, alicl a subscription list
Nes placed in the ,hauls of Messrs.
Warden Kine, t're:..,u:•e':', S. W. Ward,
