Ppis•tles, and especially the Epistle
to the Ephesians, he speaks in
rapturous language of "the Church."
The inference bas been drawn that
he first founded a number of local
Christian communities. and then
drew them together into a cnnfedsr,
icy which he designated "the
Church" As a matter of tart the
idea of the unity of the Church is not
absent from his earlier Epistles.
With all the references to house -
churches, city churches. and pro-

also occasional solemn references to
"The Church Of God." The believer
finds himself a member of a local
ohurch, but thereby a member of the
universal Church of God.

was centred on the events in the

Huge billows of smoke poured
into the sky and it was stated by One
observer that he had plainly sighted
the smoke at Seebaoh Hill, just about
seven utile west of Stratford on the
highway between that city and
Seal' rt'h,
The flames spread both north and
south along the roof tops and at one
time it was feared that many of the
buildings in the block might go.
Residents of nearby apartments
commenced removing some of their
possesinns but the tireless efforts of
the firemen had the flames eomplete-

ws'er soaked. The contests were
procticah1y ruined by water and
moire.
The Martin family, with guests
had gone to Goderlch for the day
and despite extensive efforts it was
impossible to contact them and they
were Unaware of the damage to their
home and business until they
arrived here while the fire was still
burning.
Wm. McWhirter, electrician, who
worked in connection' with the Gregg
Hardware was a heavy loser. All his
eleotrical equipment was burnt. This
is Mr. McWhirter's second loss by
fire recently. His supplies were
consumed in the Dublin creamer,
fire some months ago,
It is extremely fortunate that
there was no wind on Thursday night
if there had been it is probable that
a large part of the business section
would have been burned.
The loss by fire, the origin of
which has not been determined,
to buildings and stock suffered by
the Gregg brothers, was only part-
ially covered by insurance and they
have not yet decided if they will re-
build or not, They have the sym-
pathy of the community in their loss
and their many friends and business
acquaintances hope that they wilt
build again here in the near future.
