Destructive Electric Storms

A correspondent in Northern Pennsylvania says that the summer has been extremely dry and hot, and yet severe electric storms have been frequent and destructive. Many places have been struck by lightning, buildings burned, and persons killed. August 12 a severe electric storm occurred, accompanied with hail, some of the hail-stones measuring three or four inches in circumference by actual measurement. If it is not one thing it is another in perverted nature, which shows the effect of sin. God permits all this that man's affections may be weaned from earth and transferred to a better world.
