Typhoon and the World’s Disasters
By Editor
On October 16 a typhoon swept the Philippines, extending over a very wide area. It is estimated that the damage will reach some $25,000,000. The army and navy have joined the local government in measures of relief. This great storm follows very quickly the similar one that spread so much destruction in Japan a few weeks ago. And while such storms are incident to that part of the world, yet it is a noticeable fact that destructive storms and great disasters are becoming more and more frequent and appalling in all parts of the world. These things should make men think. There is a clear cause for it all. The Lord says, in His Word, that He has a controversy with the people because of their iniquities. This old earth is struggling in her death throes beneath the weight of her degradation in her career of sin. The end is not far away.
