Thousands OLIVES have been snuffed out
thousands upon thousands Of persons
have been made homeless and the loss
of property will reach far up into the
millions. Dayton, o., has suffered
worst. The reservoir walls broke and
many hundreds were drowned. The
death list in that city will reach fully
1000 while the property loss is almost
incompatible. At Delaware, that State,
over 100 persons are reported dead, while
at Columbus, Hamilton and other points
the number is very great. indianapolis
and Peru, Ind each suffered heavy
loss of life and property, while Omaha,
Neb, reports 200 or more deaths caused
by wind and water. Similar losses are
reported In the South and our own Lou
isville suffered a 800, 600 loss, but for
tunately no one was killed. Madison
county and Richmond were not excluded
from the sections that suffered. In the

was done, while in every section

ever attained by any producer of picture
plays. It is a picture that teaches a
much needed and excellent lesson and
describes in an interesting manner the
decline Of the human race. Satan is
shown as the instigator Of all things evil
and bis promises of wealth and power
are excellent means for winning the
hearts Of men away from God and to his
own evil influence. We see him in
many forms and shapes, but all for the
one fixed purpose. the casting about fol
new victims over whom he can gloal
and smile when he has accomplished
their destruction.
