He told of the building of the first church along that line of railwny at Mile 327, or what is now known as Gillam, and also of his 40-mile tramp from the end of the steel into Fort Churchill. in order to get in and look the ground over before the railway reached there. He also told of the building of the United church at Fort Churchill which is pictured above. On these buildings Mr. Martin did a good part of the work himself , assisted by carpenters and others of the railway employees. Anyone hearing Mr. Martin could have no doubt that the Hudson Bay country has a big future ahead of it and that the church has a wonderful opportunity for work there among those .who are pioneering. Rev. Smith closed the meeting with an appeal to the people for their sup- port that the work such as these two men are doing may be carried on successfully. NOTED DIVINE WILL SPEAK HERE SUNDAY Former Bishon of Mackenzie River District, Will Hold Confirmation at Trinity Church at Morning Service. The Right Rev. Lucas. D.D., former Bishop of Mackenzie River District, will hold confirmation in Trinity" church Bishop Lucas has served for many years in the most northern mission field of our Dominion, which stretches along the Mackenzie River and out to Herschel Island in the Arctic Ocean. Such a missionary must have the cause of the gospel at heart. It is felt that his message next Sunday will be an in- “-Ww __ ‘ spiring one ands cordial invitation is extended to allto tobe present at the FIRE DESTROYS DURHAM’S LARGEST BUSINESS BLOCK ened and noticing the smoke, which was becoming more dense each second. he awakened his wife, and with their infant child made their way to the street and to a neighbor’s residence. Mr. Stauffer returned immediately, and though he was gone only a minute or two it was impossible for him to get back into his home to save anything. The only resident to save any of her effects was Mrs. S. McIntyre. Willing hands helped in taking out the piano and some of the furniture, but at that she lost a great deal more than she saved. and insurance will not begin to cover th .2 loss. Masonic Hall Gone For a time it was thought the fire would have been checked before it reached the Masonic hall and the Harding store, but the fire got in under the roof and though both fire brigades with their apparatus, and ably assisted by the Hanover. Mount Forest and. Harriston firemen and citizens of the town, poured tons of water on to the roof and over the yvhole building, the lfiames could not be checked and the fine lodge room was ruined by fire and water. Both the premises above the Burnett store and the Harding store, '7 "UV- U Burnett Edie and -the Harding store, ' had the roof burned off and the damage from water was great, Mrs. S. McIn- tyre lived over the former and the Masonic lodge room was over the latter property. Concentrating their whole attention on these two premises, the firemen were successful in preventing the fire from getting into the lower storey, though the large amount of water used played havoc with the stocks underneath. Firemen Got Upper Hand While the fire was raging in the Mc- Intyre Block the fighters seemed to be having their troubles in holding it in check and it was thought at one time that the Whitmore Barber Shop and Noble’s Garage. both frame buildings, would go up in smoke. Had these gone it is hard to say what might have been the result. There was a possibility of wiping out the whole business section on the west side of the street, and with the frame building adding to the con- flagration there might have been diffi- ‘ culty in saving the buildings on the} east side. When it was seen that the whole McIntyre building was practical- ly doomed, the shifting of the battle to the protection of the surrounding pro- lodge room is almost a total loss. with all the lodge regaiiaand iurniture gone, considered M. 3m. .mm Wm”. m3 .ommw mm (Continued from page 1.)
