street owned by Sullivan contractor were razed at 320 yesterday morning by fire of unknown origin Mr Sullivan estimat ed his loss at between $15000 and $20000 last night saying that it was partly covered by insurance With the aid of a new booster tank attached to a pump recently pur chased for the department and the forming of a bucket brigade two other dwellings under construction adjacent to the blazing buildings were saved from destruction orming of this bucket brigade by spectators and firemen practically saved street which is newly built up from being swept by fire The buildings which are being erected by Mr Sullivan were almost completed with the exception of the interior work The larger of the dwellings was being considered for a home for aged people according to Mr Sullivan The fife broke out in the smaller of the two buildings and quickly spread to the larger structure Water 'ar Away Although the fire apparatus arrived in plenty of time they were unable to fight the flames because of lack of water connections The nearest water was 4400 feet from the burning build ings and it would necessitate the ar ranging of two pumps and a long line of hose to complete a connection See ing that the houses were doomed and taking into consideration the length of time it would take to lay the hose connections the firemen turned their attention toward checking the spread of the flames Assisted by spectators firemen quickly formed a bucket brigade to supply water to the booster pump This new pump has an SO gallon ca i pacity and can be used by pouringwater into it The chemical pumps only carry a 40 gallon reserve and it is necessary to return to the station to replenish them Most of the houses on the street are under construction and unoccupied with the exception of one which is tenanted Despite the early hour many moto rists returning home from late en gagements hastened to the scene to itness the conflagration which lit up lie sky with a red haze discernable

Jackman new pastor of the Mittin eague Methodist Episcopal church in his sermon yesterday morning He said in part: "There were no doubts left In the minds of some of the wavering fol lowers after the resurrection They looked to him as their leader There was a common bond of friendship for Christ Today we are in danger of looking to some great leader or some particular form of baptism or mode of worship but we should remember that these came long after Pentecost Some people pray for Pentecost as if they expected a section of the sky to fall down does not come in any magical way but by prayer from peo ple under the influence of thfl divine spirit As we influence those we as sociate with so we are influenced if we seek the companionship of spirit from day to day Without the spirit therd can be no Pentecost But the spirit alone cannot make Pente cost for we must have the It was only after Peter preached that the 3000 were converted is necessary to pray for Pente cost but it is also necessary to work for it Do we want a Pentecost in our church? Then we must travel the same road as did the early dis ciples" MAN AND WOMAN INJURED IN CRASH We Silver Plated Water Pitchers from $5 to $25 Three Men Arrested or Driving Away With Ex pensive Car rom

reflection will convince a person that manto hunger is more real than a huge rock in the and he continued in part: gets very close to a man It is one of the fundamental realities of life The world is or ganized about the idea of hunger "ood is one of our absorbing needs and trade in food has been the life blood of our civilization It Is no won der that men have thought that feed ing the body Is one of the most portant things in this world Jesus admitted that food is necessary but said that it is not enough are longings' that hunger knows nothing about: desires after truth and beauty and goodness hat food cannot satisfy This longing is but an expression of love Love for highest things is the supreme desire of the soul If you dislike a man you will fail to know him You will mis represent him If you do not love you will never get at the facts of ife It is love and love alone that brings a man into touch with reality We are not surprised then that the Bible states that in

imperative as the day he spoke them appeals to strong men and noble women because they have found In him a friend with the value of God That is they have been unable to even imagine or hope for a

large place in the kingdom work of Mr agerburg took for his morning subject: I Were Joining the and his words were of wis dom and advice to the new members He spoke in part as follows: I were joining the church today I should first of all thank God for the faithful men of the past who have made the church possible It would be hard to exaggerate our debt to yesterday The labor prayers money hopes longings and aspirations which leaders of the past have expended that the church might live and grow are beyond comprehension It seems a simple thing to express our ChrisA tian faith by a declaration and by linking our lives with an institution but we are standing on the shoulders of our past leaders If I were joining the church I should feel an unpayable debt of gratitude to the loyal Chris tians of the past who so faithfully gave themselves that the kingdom might progress And I am sure my appreciation of past leaders would lead me to emulate their devotion This leads Us to a true understanding of what the church is rot a building but a group of people If I were join ing the church I should want to re member that I am nnKing my me other lives not writing my name the record book of an Institution To ind Brotherhood I were joining the church should expect to find a brotherhood interested friends an inspiring and meaningful service of worship a place where I might learn more about the Christian life and I should also expect a world program I should especially expect my church to offer me an avenue of Christian service church should expect of me a clean and noble life reflecting the ideals of Jesus Christ whom I profess to love and follow As a church mem ber the church can also expect of me a living and active interest The church can also expect of me to do all in my power to win others to Christ and the church "There is a tremendous criticism of the churcn tvo A thic iniem seriously very seriously The world has a right to expect great things of us We represent the noblest ideals in all the world To take the criticism seriously means not that it shall make me despair or lose confidence in the church but it shall spur me on to help make the church what it ought to be that the criticism shall be without Timothy oley Timothy oley died yesterday at his home In Allen street East Long meadow after a brief illness He was a lifelong resident of Springfield
