Book Work Advances Despite Philippine Floods

The Philippines have been suffering also from floods. Brother Floyd Ashbaugh, who recently went out from California to engage in the book work, writes to the Australian office: “In spite of typhoons and floods the book work is going forward. The people order and pay just as if nothing had happened, notwithstanding the fact that nearly eighty per cent of the rice crop of this province has been destroyed by the floods. Some of the people could not wait for their books, but came to the house where I was staying to get them. The governor’s wife sent a messenger to get the book that her husband had ordered.”
