Mock Sabbath Service at Peshtigo Before the Fire

It is said that in the village of Peshtigo, Wis., on the Sabbath, only a few hours before the fire which swept them from existence, thirty or forty young men got together, marched up to the neat, little Methodist church with two or three kegs of lager beer, and held a mock service, going through with all the ceremonies, administered the Lord’s Supper, and other rites of the sanctuary.—Detroit Post.
