Floods Desolate India

By L. L. C.

In view of the terrible destruction which war is bringing on the world, other calamities are often scarcely noticed. The following brief paragraph in the Washington Herald, September 21, tells of one of these:—

Floods that have been raging in the Ganges and its confluents for three weeks have made eighty thousand persons homeless, according to official reports. Forty-six persons are known to have perished, and 1,800 homes have been swept away. That the death list was not larger is due to the fact that the water rose gradually, giving most of the inhabitants of the stricken districts an opportunity to flee.

And most of these eighty thousand persons have not yet received the good news of a Saviour who will soon bring this world of sin and sorrow to an end.
