PLAGUE IN BOMBAY.

The most recent news from India indicates a very terrible state of affairs in Bombay on account of the plague, which should cause us to remember the missionaries and native Christians there much in our prayers. "In Bombay alone 300 victims die daily. On Sunday, March 5, the number of deaths was 391, which is the greatest number ever known to occur in a single day. The total number of victims of the plague for the week was 2,247. The plague has interfered with the work of the missionaries. The natives imagine that all Europeans are employed by the government to spread the disease, and threaten to do bodily injury to the missionaries if they do not move away."—The Faithful Witness.
