Laden, pastor John the Evan- destroyed by The Rev. of the church of 8t gellst, which was partly fire last Kriday morning, took an op- timistic view of the situation in talk to the parishioners at the masses which were held in the basement of the church yesterday He sald that he considered it most fortunate that the fire was not a more damaging one and exhorted his par- ishioners to greater efforfs in bearing the ‘“cross thus thrust upon them." He highly praised the work of the firemen and the policemen for the work they did at the fire. 1t was evi- dent from a review of the situation that if it were not for the herculean efforts of the firemen, the whole church would have been destroyed. They arrived on the acene at a time when {t seemed that the entire struc- ture was doomed, but the efficlent manner fn which they handled their streams of water served to check the flames and saved the building from utter ruin, I"ather Laden announced that it would probably be a month before the upper church would agaln be ready for occupancy and repairs will not be started until a scttlement is made with the insurance companios, T show with what apirit the people of the parish viewed the fire, he an- nounced that two checks for 8100 had been given him by a priest and a par- ishloner with the request that the money be used towards the repair of the huilding.

PENROSE FUNERAL Detalls Incomplete But Services Will Be Private in Accordance With Senator’s Wishes. Philadelphia, Jan. 2.—Arrange- ments for the funeral of Senator Pen- rose who died in W ngton late Saturday night, were still incomplete today. It was definitely decided, how- ever that it should be strictly private, in accordance with his oft-expressed wish. .In making this announcement, Leighton C. Taylor, for many years, the senator's private secretary said that only members of the family and close friends would attend the serv- ices and that a congressional delega- tion probably would not come here for the burial. The date for the inter- ment would be fixed, it was said after hearing from relatives in the west. Meanwhile the body encased in a metallic coftin, covered with purple cloth, lay in his bachelor home here. No crepe or flowers marked the pres- ence of death in the old fashioned brick house where from a sickbed he had conferred by telephone with President Harding. His every wish for simplicity has been respected.
