DESTRUCTIVE FIRE A Beautiful Home Burned Saturday Horning. About one o’clock Saturday morning Griffin was aroused from her slumbers by the startling cry of "fire.” The heavens were soon lighted up and the reflection troin the overhang' ing ciouds made light every part of the city It was the burning of P S. Parma lee’s beautiful home, just north of the Chambers hotel. The fire originated in the cook room and when the flames had eaten through '.he roof a si iff east wind soon carried the blighting elements to the residence, which burned like a tender box ' This was one of the best built homes in Griffin, and its loss will fall heavily upon Mr. Parmalee, who had pur chased it but a few years since. Scarcely anything was saved from the building, the children barely es« caping in their night clothes, some of them wrapped io bed clothing, not having time to get clothing. The few articles of furniture taken from the front rooms were so badly damaged as to be worthless. Mr. Parmalee bad an insurance of $2,000 upon hie home and SSOO upon his furniture,which will prove a bless* ing, but will fall far short of reinstat' ing him as was the night before the fire. The East wind carried millions of sparks upon the housetops for blocks away, and the.firemen were kept busy washing them off,and thus preventing other loes. The expressions of sympathy were many and true heard among the spec ? tutors at the conflagation. Y- M C. A- Points- "The Downward Steps of a Strong Young Man’’ is the subject for this af ternoon’s men’s meeting at the Young Men’s Christian Association. A male quartette will bo organized this week.

Campbell has kindly put in a marble lavatory on the second floor and the bathing apartment has been otherwise improved. After the oiling of the woodwork is finished and a few other improvements made, the association building will be one of the nicest retreats in Griffin. Dr. Woodbridge has instructed most successfully a Bible class for the past 2 wafiks and will be with the young men again on Monday night. The board of directors attach great importance to this class, and would gladly welcome every young man of the city to its privileges Best of All To cleanse the system In a gentle and truly beneficial manner, when the springtime comes, use the true and perfect remedy, Syrup of Figs. .

Our Lord’s Prayer cannot be hedged in so as to exclude the foreign mis* sioosry spirit. ’ Our Father which is in heaven’’ is euub an appellation of the deity as universally belongs to all mankind. “Thy kingdom come’’is an expression of desire that the dominion of Christ shall be set up in al) human hearts without restriction or limita tion No one who weighs the meaning of words or discerns the true spirit of holy invocation can utter or breathe the Lord’s Prayer without being in favor of foreign missions. Without sincerity prayer is a mockery. Therefore, when you repeal the Lord’s Prayer and say "Thy kingdom come,” don’t say that you don’t believe in fo.-eign missions. The twentieth annual meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the North Georgia Conference convenes in Forsyth April 20 24, 1898.
