. Members of the eongregation,
under the .paster, Rev. W. .T. Mc-

Monday afternoon, and succeeded
in cleaning up much of the debris
resulting from the fire. It was
found that damage eias not as ex-
tensive aS was previously. thought,
and It Is hoped that insurance on
the church will cover rnoet of the
expensea. The Wingbam firm,
Wirigham Metal Fabricating, which
installed the furnate.le the church,
was able to get the furnace operat,
i,ng shortly after the fire„ had been
extinguished, making it possible to
.dry out much of the water left by
the firemen's .hoses. •
A survey of the damage after
the fire on Monday revealed that a
eew floor will have to be built • in
the front of . the church, and that
the auditorium will have to be re-
decorated, aa well as repairs 'to the
church kitchen, It is pOssible that
the organ can be repaired, and Mr.

ized, Both attended the Actideray

ioned there, At the age of 12 his
