At any rate, the missionaries took their little flocks and went up into the mountains, and lo! there they were, up high safe and sound while the flood came and took all the others away

And this is supposed to mean something?

No more than any of the other incidences of Divine Providence mentioned in the bible, say of Lot being saved at Sodom and Gomorrah, Hanukka, Noah and the 8 souls saved, Rahab being spared, etcetera, etcetera.

I have a missionary friend who was preaching in a tiny village in Peru one evening, and left just minutes before guerrillas of the Shining Path came in looking for him. He left Peru but has since gone back. I'm sure it was "just fate" that he still lives. lol.
