'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. '

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-

young, the cultured and the uncul-
