The Voice of the Earthquake

By W. A. S.

As God's judgments increase in the earth, many will learn righteousness. Coming so soon after the terrible San Francisco calamity, the pronounced earthquake in Wales and England the other day has set many on this side to thinking that there is some special meaning in the increasing frequency of these visitations.
Spending a Sabbath with the Southampton company, I learned of an interesting experience. A lady in that city has been buying the Present Truth, and sending it on to a daughter in India, a governess in the family of a lady of title. This daughter and her mistress passed through the earthquake that visited the northern part of India some time ago. They had some remarkable experiences of deliverance, and the daughter wrote that for the first time in her life she saw her mistress on her knees seeking God.
They both began to study the Present Truth in earnest, to get a new experience, and another friend, also a titled lady, joined them in it. Since then this young woman has returned to England with the family employing her, and she writes her mother that now they meanto study the Sabbath question, to see what the truth is about that.
As these judgments come in the earth, many an honest heart will turn to our literature, to learn what these things mean. And this incident shows how our literature is being passed about the world in ways we little know of. W. A. S.
