War’s Reaper, the Plague.

Complicated with this year’s war taxesTn-natlonal defense, disease has broken out all over India Jn the plague. Pastor Ramiah buried 13 in a night. Pastor Simon has been to us twice for lymph and medicine. His poor people have fled from their huts and are camping miserably in the jungle under the lash of the monsoon. Quarantined there, without relief, medicine,*'work, wages, food, hope, the mortality is frightful. They built him a hut there among the rest of them, and they let him out of quarantine to get medicine.—The Christian Herald.
