Fort Worth Fire Destroys Adventist Church

We made a little note last week regarding the fire at Fort Worth, Texas, in which the branch office of the Southern Publishing Association was burned. By that conflagration 500 families were left homeless, five persons were killed, Presbyterian and Baptist churches burned, seventy blocks consumed, and $4,000,000 worth of property destroyed. We sympathize with the sufferers, and we sympathize with our sister branch office. We know a little of what fire means. We earnestly hope that they may soon recover and increase far beyond what they were before the fire. We learn from late news that the Seventh-day Adventist church was also destroyed.
