Clusters ministers were all out oftown
last Sabbath, and consequently the usual
services were held in none of the
churches. In the evening at the NJ. L.

sembled and participated in a song
service. Mrs. B. r. Wood read one of
Talmage's ermon and Miss Dollie
Maple recited the poem, "The Leper."
1t was demonstrated that for one Sun

Lost and Towns Destroyed.
AN earthquake in Kuchan, Persia, last
week, completely destroyed that town and
created widespread ruin in the adjacent
country. Great crevasses were opened in
the earth, through which water flowed in
torrents, causing the Atrek river to over
flow its banks. The fertile region around the
city was inundated, and the large gardens
and extensive vineyards were swept out OF
existence The people OF Kuchan had no
chance to save anything. The shock was so
severe that the largest houses in the town,
including the residence OF the governor,
ing hundreds of people to death. The town
had population of between 10000 and 25,-
600 persons, and 1t is thought that at least
1000 persisted. Many persons were carried
away by the flood that swept down the
valley.
