Flames leaped across lluilalo creek,

set fire to Lehigh Valley 1-nilwny company’s trestle, but the blaze was ‘lUiCk1Y dlecked by the firemen. Twen- ty-eight box cars loaded with grain were destroyed.

'l‘he fire was a most spectaculari

one. For some time a section of the

---._...._._..._.;i_l___

water front terminals was threaten ed. The wind was blowing at the rate of 25 miles an hour and scattered embers over the buildings on both sides of Buffalo Creek, causing fre- ilusnt blazes. The fire started in the cupola of the elevator caused either by a spark from n passing tug or spontaneous combustion.

The wooden material burned quickly

and within half nn hour aftor the dis- covery of the fire every portion of the roof was ablaze.

As the fire worked downward thous-

ands of bushels of grain were released from the bins pouring down in a blazing stream. This with the in- tense heat made it almost im- possible for the firemen to~get within striking distance of the elevator.

Twenty-eight engines, 30,000 feet

of hose, and three fireboats fought the flames. The elevator was owned by the Erie Railway Company and leased to the Buffalo Grain Co.

The loss to the buildings is esti-

mated at $175,000; grain $300,000 and the loss to the adjoining pro- perty $25,000. '

concluded his series of lectures on th I “Certnintics of Christian Life" wit I an address on "The Fact of Exper fence." Rev. T. W. Murphy pr'esided.I Before addressing himself to his subiect, the Rev. doctor answered a' numibcr of questions of a controver-I sial nature, which had been put to him in writing, and promised to de- vote more time to such questions in s. future series of lectures, should Mr. Murphy give him an opportunity of doing so. He also took the opportu- nity of suggesting the perusal of a 25 c. hook on "The Doctrine of the Sacrament,” by the Rev. Mr. Dimock, and one on "The Cathol`ic Faith, a manual for members of the Church of England, by himself, both of \vhic'h he thought would be found usetul in connection with controversial ques- tions. He proceeded to say how great- ly he appreciated the opportunity of coming- to Charlottetown, seeing--.S°t. Paul's and its people, and meeting with Mr. Murphy, an old Wycliile stu- dent. They of the Wycliffe College were nlways pleased to visit the churches of their old students, snd it was a joy for him to come here and see and hear so much about the good work Mr. Murphy was doing. Mr. .vlurphy had left Wyclilfe before he (the Professor) had joined the stall, but he would be able to give to the principal a \‘ery good account of what an old Wycllfflan was doing here.

The reality of Christian experience generally ran along these lines-a sense of peace, a sense of fellowship, a sense of life. There was a universal- ity of this experience enjoyed by tho rich and the poor, the old and the young, the cultured and the uncul- tured. Similarly with Christian hooks-this central experience was common to all- Augustine, Thomas a Kempis, John Bunyan, Rutherford, Andrew Bonar, Ksble.

Every Church, Roman, An- ' glican, Presbyterian, Methodist, could join in singing "Rock of Ages," as it gave expression to the univer- sal feelin-gs of all those who love Je- sus Christ.
