Floods in Lucknow, India

From a recent letter sent by Brother S. A. Wellman, of Lucknow, India, we quote the following: “We have had serious floods here in Lucknow, and there are 800,000 homeless in the city. The water came up three inches above the floor in Professor Salisbury’s home. Some parts of the residential section were five feet under water, and the whole of this part of the province is badly flooded. The river is still very high. Our office suffered several hundred rupees’ worth of damage, but we were more fortunate than the Isabella Thoburn College for women. This institution lost an entire wing costing 60,000 rupees. The work here is onward, and we are of good courage.”
