EVALINe I3LLAooTT, Wilt IIIITOntersoN, EDOAR HOLLINGER, 'ive Rt''idmmn able„ugh taken by sur- prise melte a brief and fitting reply Echoes from the ,Methodist Church fire [ ► "Tempest succi During the past week a busy time was spent by the olliolals and a goodly number of the members in many duties following the bad fire in the Methodist °hued), 'that entailed so 9erioue a condition. While from out- side view the damage seems to consist of the deetruetion of the ;Atoll, alcove, windows and a section of roof been. ed nrf, the interior presented a very different aspect thee nearly restated in the wiping out of the fine edifice. The calm night, snow on the roof and energetic work, under difficult ,condi• hone, by the Fire Brigade were 8 con - tributary factors in aver'ting what ap- peared at one time to be certain and complete destruction, folk and brief reference to the man letters. telephone messagoe trod words ii of sympathy received by the home• lose congregation, The pastor men - Boned the names of Rev.

The present arrangement es to the continuance of holding services in St. John's church is only tentative of course, depending on the action of those concerned in the placing of a ST, JOHN'S CHURCH, BRUSSELS WHERE SERVICES ARE BRING} HELD The Insurance people responded quickly 8e the messages sent them and gays very careful and: thorough examination to the case. They put Mr. Gray, a Harriston builder, to re- port on the damage, while the church officials secured W. T. Brown, Mitchell, who had the contract of building MelvillsPresbyterian church, fn towu, a few years ago. Their find- ings were not considered adequate and the following day, Jno. Adams, a well known Wroxeter contractor, was brought to Brussels as appraiser by the Ineurance Companies, and Church committee called in Architect Bin- ning, Listowel, and Harvey Hunter, Oraebrook. Pleurae fox special depart- ments of the re -building were sup- plied by local firms. By 7 o'clock Thursday evening the. reports were ready for presentation. There was little divergence in the totals of the data gleaned by these practical men after a hard day's work, After a short discussion Architecb Binning's figures were trace , ted by both aides, viz., $9,714 plus $ car- ried on the furnishings, the latter a very inadequate sum. Total insuran- ce carried was $12,050. Early Friday a busy bee was in- augurated to which there was a very ready response. A good share of the debris in the basement was cleared up, and by the close of Saturday by ener- getic effort, captained by Elston Cardiff and W. H, Maunders, the roof destroyed on church. proper was coveredwith lumber, the rent in the wall at the choir loft WAS boarded up and the place of the glass and sash in the: windows was taken by the scorch- ed pews,Ladies' Aid table tops and lumber from local millyard, thereby excluding the action of wind and storm from the interior until regular repairs can be made. The men were heartily thanked for the extra good work done under March weather con- ditions. Fortunately the days were shoru of Jack Frost's attention. Bar- ring the possibility of the top of the North wall of the choir gallery tak- ing a tumble (as it has quite a kink) the building is now awaiting the next step toward its re•construotioo when weather will permit and plans are ready. After being ousted from their com- fortable quarters congregation felt a large measure of:thankfulness nob ex- preseablein words over the pleasaut arrangement trade with. the Wardens of St. John's church and his Lordship Bishop Williams and on Sunday last a stranger would not have suspected that the changed d conditions were e something entirely new on the pro- gram, There was a happy blending of members of both congregations in the pews, the choir led the praises with goodly numbers and Rev. Mr. Clarke gave discourses creditable to' any parson. Acknowledgment was made of the kindness of Sb, Sohn's new rector here. It is expected that present arrangements. will hold good until Easter at least and theMetho-, distswouldnotfind fault if months could'be added to the date mentioned. Pose' Smears AFTER THE FIRE. Initial plans were prospectively on the program of some officials for a royal celebration of the 60th anniver- sary of the church in 1926 Church was cleared of debt during. the late Rev. Mr, PowelPs 'pastorate when the mortgage was burned. Buildings was in good repair. Most of the hymn books and bibles in the the pew ranks were destroyed either by fire or water. Those saved were badly smoked and in some cases unfit for nee. The piano in the Sunday School room was reecded after the dense smoke had partially cleared and was taken to the Parsonage, apparently none the worse of its close call and hurried removal. There wile many a tear in the eye and gulp in the throats of the mem- bers and adherents as they witnessed the action ofthe fire fiend or viewed the destructive work at a later period. Many reminisences of the past 48 years were called to mind. The memorial marble tablet on the auditorium wall received a great blackening and scorching, represen- tative of the experience of the brave lads who fell in the Empire's defence overseas, This slab was carved by A. E. Hersey, Brussels, and presented to the church by him. Allotment of insurance as figured out by the compPauies is :—Gore, 88,789 85, and Howiok Mutual $0,174.15. While some may think it looks like a lot of mouey the men who placed the valuations are in close and practical touch with the high price of material of all kinds and the labor situation to -day as compared with a few years ago. "Oauae of fire unknown” was piec- ed in the records of the Insurance (impedes. While it is much more satisfactory to all concerned to be able to name a cause, up to this date there does not appear to be any clue. Whatever the cause was it was con- tained in the wood shed, a room apart from the furnaces and without any. electric or any other kind of lamp. Shed was filled up with wood. Many regrets were expressed over the burning of the beat pulpit, leather covered settee and altar chairs, The pulpit and chairs were the handiwork and a present from a former well known member,R. L a he a e w e t rd [ now of Winnipeg, The brass roti and velvet drape that also went up in smoke, were gifts from J. T. Wood, a Obatltamite now, and H. L. Jackson, Brussels, along with the organ and chairs, hymn books, music, bibles and other belongings of the choir that will have to be replaced, thanking one and all for their kind- ness, Miss Readnran became the bride of John White, Morrie township last Monday.
