Many villages on both sidar ei the railway line to (Jnao are under water, and hundreds of hamlets have been'washed away. The floods are on the decline now, but the rains continue intermittently, making the lot of' those rendered homeless still harder. People whose houses have been washed away have taken shelter in neighboring villages, and some have bean accommodated in railway cars. Virtually all the villages situated along-the banks of the Ramganga, rivet have been inundated. Housea and cattle have been washed away, and standing crops ruined. In some places the rise of the river I was so sudden that people who were in the' fields tending their cattle or crops were cut off. Many were compelled to take refuge In trees until the floods subsided; Others were rescued by relief pasties. Planks were tied together and let damn from railway bridges on the Ramganga, enabling a number of people struggling in the water to be hoisted to safety. The railway line between Kathgarb adn Got baa beep, washed out for about seven hundred feet, and cannot be repaired for some time. The railway connection with Delhi also has been. cut. The Lucknow road is still impassable in many places, and- no communication is possible with outlying villages.I^arge supplies of food, sent by the citizens of Cawnpore,. have helped to relieve the distress. Men's Prayer Program For Gipsy Smith Meetings Meetings held from 9 to 9:30 every morning, at the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle. Our purpose is to begin on time and stop at the appointed hour. Friday Morning, November 10: S. M. Rice, leader: B. B. James, altar pate. Men and brethren, God has blessed mid is blessing the men who are coming to these meetings. We make no pretense of formality; we come not to r iticise or to sit in judgment, but to hyinble ourselves before God, to invoke his spirit, to divest our lives and hearts of anything and everything that would prevent our usefulness and service to God and our fellow men. It is a glorious sight to see men who never led n public devotion, standing up and witnessing for Jesus Christ, as they lead these meetings ar.u pray and testify, and to you, men and young men, who have not as yet attended the men's prayer^ meetings. Listen, if others are willing to coma, to leave their businesses, to pray for you, for your life, your health, your soul's salvation, for the blessings of God upon your hearts, your homes, your town, your business. Is it not the least you can do?to come and wait with us through this half hour season of prayer? We are praying for you and yours. Tomorrow we want to devote a season of prayer for specific blessings and mercies, let every man come with .1 petition in his heart, and when the opportunity is offered, do not fail to make that petition to the God who hears and answers prayer, if only n .sentence, a single petition; God hears not for our much speaking, but for tho earnestness of our plea. Your plea backed by the prayers of the praying men of Union can move heaven to bring things to pass, the like of which we have not seen in Union. Meet with us tomorrow and let Us not fail to enter in. L. L. Wagnon, r'or the Men's Prayer Com. SUCCEEDS WHERE DOCTORS FAIL Udit E.

Oh, what a pity for golden youth To spend itself in such a way. But such thoughts didn't worry Bill, [ , As he spent a life of gay decay. He was called by all "the gamblin'! fool." ' He surely was a lucky chap, A reckless, hard boiled, fighting kid Made many a roughneck take a nap. But one warm night, while the lights were bright, TTe chanc'd to stroll down old Broadway, ! And saw a sight' he'd seen before, He didnt care what they had to say. The Salvation Army, on the street, Was making its reg'lar appeal, "The gamblin' fool" said, "Darn that stuff," And disgusted turned upon his heel. A Salvation lassie made a plea, Before Bill left, he heard her say, "Jesus can clease your sins like snow, For God is Love?Dont turn him away." And as the "gamblin' fool" left the That was sponsored by one above. The drum, the cornets seemed to say. "God is Love, God is Love." But Bill went back to his same old haunts, And got into a poker game And drank so much "moonshine liuhtnfa"' That he almost forgot his last name. The game progressed O. K. for awhile, Then a great argument arose. "Cheater," cried Bill, then made a swing That landed flush on the cheater's nose. Then came a quick flash, a gust of smoke, The sudden report of a "gun" The "gamblin* fool" fell to the floor. To the crow<f it looked like he was "done." Suddenly 'waking Bill look'd around, Surprise registered on his face. He say, in glittering splendor Tha he was floating around in i space. Mi saw the dreamy, silver." moor. The twinkling, golden, >tads ofi night, The sun, with all its brilliant rays. Radiating beams, and gleam t of light. Then he saw angels, so pure and j Shining like dew in the sunshine { Then, saw a form with outstretched arma. And shrieked, "Oh, Mother, Mother I 0? Mine." i His astral mother filled him with joy.! He remembered the years gone by. Thought of her words, Always be good," And with tear dimmed eye, he breathed a sigh. i He could forge no closer, though he triad. He realized, just how he stood; Ha^waa so vile, could God forgive? j lea and would he forgive if he could? Just then & flash, like lightning, appeared A halo! And Jesus, was there Surrounded with glory and lo'.e. Bill shrank hack blinded with light and fear. Delicate scents, sweeter than perfume. Music so wonderfully sweet, O ercome, Bill cried, "Lord, have mer. cy," And he knelt down at Jesus' feet. Then feeling a tap on his shoulder, Raising his head, he look'd above, .lesus said, "Thou art forgiven," "Spread this message on earth; (Jod { is Love." Now this was tho end of Bill's vision He 'woke in a hospital bed, The doctor in charge smil'd and said j "111 tell you the "gamblin' fools", ] not dead." But. was bad wrong on that state-1 men, j The "gamblin fool" never survived.' A new man was resurrected, , His "spiritual self" was revived. j And somewhere today, in thiH broad j land, Bill speaks the message from above, , In Salvation Army uniform He is telling the world, "God is Love," ?Jesse M.
