Calamity and the Blessed Hope

By Editor

FROM eighty thousand to one hundred thousand lives are said to have been lost in the recent floods in the vicinity of Canton, China. Our correspondents in that section will doubtless soon give us a description of the scenes both by photograph and by pen. Storm and flood in every part of this world have come to be terrible problems; but if we know the blessed hope, and understand what these mean, we are not terrified by them. Do you know the personal experience of standing in the presence of great calamities and yet knowing no fear? God's word promises just that thing, and God's promises are literal realities for all who will appropriate them.
