Williamsport Flood Cancels Camp Meeting

By Editor

WE are informed by telegram from Williamsport, Penn., that owing to the great flood at that place the camp-meeting, which was to have been held June 4-11, had to be abandoned, but the workers' institute was continued. The telegram also contained the welcome intelligence of the safety of our brethren at that place. The river at Williamsport was seven feet higher than ever before known, and quite a number of lives were lost and much property was destroyed. We do not know how our brethren fared in the latter respect. We trust that the conditions for the Rome meeting, June 11-18, have been more favorable.
