Missionaries Tell of Their Life in China (Continued from Page One) roared overhead and bombs drop ped from the sky to explode with in a short distance of their home, but they warned that they could tell nothing of the Japanese army or its equipment, because they had been required to sign a paper pledging , secrecy before they were allowed to leave China. Violation of that pledge would mean they would not be able to return When Japan began its invasion of China the Lawtons were at Kuling, a famous resort town lo cated upon a mountain top. At Kuling, the Lawtons said, are the part-time homes of many high Chinese, including the president of China. Lin Shen, and the commander of the Chinese army, General Chiang Kai-Shek. Mad am Kai-Shek frequently attended church there, always being ac companied by six secret service men, they said. When the Japs attempted to take Kuling, the American Con sul attempted to get all foreign ers to leave the resort in fear of bombing raids. Many left, but the Lawtons stayed on, an Ameri can flag painted on their roof their only protection. The Japs surrounded the town and bombed it repeatedly. Dur ing one raid, in which five planes appeared over the city, a bomb struck within 72 feet of where Mr. Lawton was standing. He said he had been needing some loose dirt for some time with which to level off his yard, and tiie explosion served admirably in providing a source of supply. One day, they said, they stood in the doorway of their home and watched the Japanese drop in cendiary bombs upon a settle ment located on an opposite hill. Luckily not a bomb hit its mark. During air raids Chinese would flock to the American Mission, feeling that the stars and stripes woulcf protect them. When the Japs eventually oc cupied the town, getting a pass i to leave the resort • was difficult, | the Lawtons said, it being neces sary to have their pictures taken and to carry it with them. The Japs were polite to them, they i said, but were harsh with the i Chinese. When they left Kuling to begin i their trip to the United States, the Lawtons traveled from Kuling : to Kiukiang by chair borne upon j the shoulders of four men, then ! resumed their journey by truck !to the Yangtze river where they ' boarded a Japanese transport for Shanghai. Eventually reaching Kobi. Japan, they sailed for the United States on the President | Pierce. Three children, two sons and a daughter, and several grandchil dren, are still in China, the Law tons said. They mentioned in passing that the President Pierce was the same ship in which Rev. Mr. Whisenhunt sailed for China when he went there to take up his work as a missionary. Plans for the immediate future have not been definitely decided, they said.
