Threatening stormy weather NAV be
expected in many quarters as August
comes in. From about the 9th to the
9th look in all probability for a warm
wave to eliminate in thunder storms,
with heavy hail and some high
winds. Following these storms no
one need be surprised at sudden and
very marked fail of temperature.
/ The temperature will rise very high
in many places about the time OF new
moon, on the 18th, low barometic
conditions Will develop and electrical
clustering storms will break out gen.

| A brief relaxation from high tenn
peratures ought normally to appear
between storms of the 18th and 18th.
Falling barometer and storms about
| the 18th to the Goth. We know OF no
reasons why we should expect de-
cided change from very dry weather
generally in Auxust, but some start
ling downpours of rain and hail are
quite probable in narrow Localities,
until after the middle OF August
| The intense local storms will be
preceded by very high temperatures,

! On and touching the nth, 18th, 10Th
and goth, many severe summer storms
may be apprehended in various parts
of the interior and on the lakes and
sea coasts One of the changes will
very likely be much cooler weather
generally, running with occasional
brief changes to warmer, into Sep
TENDER, which month, we believe will
not be so terribly warm as 1t has been
the past few years.
On and touching the oath and 25th,
reactionary storm conditions will
develop causing rise of tempera-
ture. falling barometer and heavy.
clustering thunder storms in paths
progressive from west to east The
regular Vulcan storm period is central
on the Both extending from the Sth TO
September /. There is no need that
the people should be thrown INTO
panics on the threatened approach OF
storms, and they will not be it they
are promptly advised of the facts and
begin in time to make the best of the
situation, even in case the worst
comes TO their city or section.
The probabilities are that generous
rains will visit many localities during
the closing storm period in August.
1t is proper for us to make reference
TO the deadful visitation of drouth
that has spread its blighting, wither-
ing wings not only over our great
country, but England. France, Germany
and many other parts of the East as
well. The faithful thousands who
have patiently followed, and gener-
ously supported us during the long
years past, have now had another
object lesson iii the great truth and
value of the work we have humbly
and arduouslv tried to promulgate.
As ON oil similar visitations for al
most twenty years passed, we tried
faithfully and without sensational
announcements to prepare for the |
worst those who would believe and |
heed our warnings For the last three !
or four years, BY every available |
means at our command we have eau
tiously admonished the public of the
minimum rainfall period central in
1901, - and of the consequent drouth |
and suffering that must ensue. Pub
liclv and privately countless thous-
ands bave been urged to shape their |
affairs accordingly. Just how many |
more millions of bushels of early |
wheat have been harvested through !
our humble warming" plant the crop
that will mature with June moisture
no one except the holy God who
has stirred up and strengthened our
heart, who has sustained and blessed |
us amid every want and through all |
reproach, can ever know.
