week to prayer, a special subject Of prayer

We were visited on Sunday and Sun
day night, Jan, Cd, with a severe rain storm
accompanied with a strong southery wind.
The snow was mostly melted away and the
streams were much swollen. We learn
from our exchanges that the storm extend
ed over a wide area, and in many places
did good deal of damage. With this ex-
ception the weather has been mild and
pleasant for many days, being warm and
sunny like spring time. With such wealth
or as this we hardly feel any necessity of
going TO Florida to find a milder climate.
