User-Contributed Transcription us, I thought is expedient to leave the part of the building nearest the church, we therefore adjourned to the south-east corner. Some, at first, wished to go out lest our building should be blown down upon us. I had, however, little difficulty in convincing them of the hazard of such a course, while the numerous partitions rendered quite secure in doors.A corner of our roof was torn off and the tin loosened in many places so that the water came in a stream from one story to the other. We have moved into the south side of the building and are very comfortable while the repairs are going on. Our recitations are always in the morning only so that our school went on all the time as usual. There was some excitement manifested the next morning, the result of a sleepless night, but that was all. The storm continued from 10 to about 2 A.M. accompanied at intervals by hail and a great many persons were obliged to sit up to keep the doors shut and as much as possible of the rain out. but we retired and God watched over us.
