The writer urges return to Bible truth and warns against scientific guessing, praising faithful scholars.

Destructive Thunderstorms Cause Wide Damage at Spencers Brook

A severe storm near Spencers Brook produced a cyclone damaging the station refreshment room roof, downed Delca lighting wires, and delayed an Albany train. The hotel stables and sheds lost roofs, a railway house verandah collapsed, and 1200 sheets of iron torn from depot sheds. Crops suffered, especially near Grass Valley and Meenaar, with hail and heavy rain injuring fields and crops, including the Grass Valley Hotel. A second storm after nine PM brought more rain, with Nuetham recording 12 inches in places and reports of large hail nearby.

Newsvendor Wins Four Thousand At Paris Races

A Paris newspaper seller named Willegot, nicknamed Pere In Cerise, was found with over £4,000 claiming victory at the races. Police questioned him as his tale of rapid winnings from racing was debated, with earlier gains of £24 and £1,800 cited. He reportedly lives on his earnings and has guarded his betting system, while his untidy appearance kept him from paddock admission.
