Last night I went to a Ruritan meeting and the guest speaker was the chief of the local fire department. We enjoyed a nice meal of ham, sweet potatoes, green tossed salad, baked beans, wheat rolls and for dessert apple pie with a scoop of ice cream. During the fire chief’s presentation he was talking about how that church that burnt down a few months ago was determined to be arson. The neighbor next door to the church had said that he had heard an explosion and when he looked out of his window the church was fully engulfed in flames.
No one has been arrested for the church burning, and there is speculation about whether it was burnt down for the insurance. At least no one was inside the church when it happened, and none of the fire fighters were injured fighting the fire.
