There was a large attendance of 'Brewho Iharcbrd to the church In a body In full uniform and occupied -eats of honor. A beautifully printed showing the order of service handed to each fireman as be Tlie pulpit was tastefully draped vltb the national colors^ and special music waa rendered by the choir, this including two pretty anthems. Lewis Smith anng a baritone solo, entitled, _ "The Plains of Peace," which elldtad i great deal of favorable comment the visiting firemen at the close if the service Mr. Hmllh Is always wltli pleasure end on Hunday evening he waa at his very be*t. The pastor, the Rev. Charlea H. preached a sermon suitable to ihe occasion, taking as his theme. "The Fireman's Calling," baaing hla remarks on Hebrews 11; 84: "Quenched ihe violence of fire." He said In pari: "These words are a portion of that •pleodld story of courage and endurwhich makeatbeeleveutb chapter of Hebrew* sound like one of tbe old Sega* describing the deeds of mighty kings and heroes. Their allusion Is to tbe three Hebrew heroes In the plain uf'Hhlnar— Hbadracb, Mesbacb and ucnuinar — hnaaracn, Mesnacu anu
