On Dec. 10 the Board disclosed the fact that there are .‘£9 Presbyter-J ian U. §. A. missionaries in Chosen; 10 in Japan, 46 in Thailand, 84 in the Phil ippines (including people recently transferred from China, Japan, Chosen*, 157 in Occupied China, 46 in Free China, and 9 in Hong -Kong;— The status of missionaries in Japan ese-controlled areas will be that of enemy aliens — American nationals tin. Thailand.) have been ad vised by the \ American Government to withdraw for the present to Burma. On Dec. 12 a cablegram from Thailand and Manila stated that “all missionar ies are safe and well”, and that mothers and children in Manila have been trans ferred to Laguna. Thus the work of Christ goe.- on, sadly impaired, but pione the less bearing tes timony to the healing pow er of the loving Saviour. At the same time, a let ter has been sent to all Japanese pastors and miss ionaries serving in this country, under -our Boarc of National Missions, sign ed by Dr. G. Graham Wii son, general secretary, anc authorized by the Boart itself. It reads in part “On behalf of the Boart of National Missions, ) send you greetings and as surances of our good will and our prayers. Nothing should separate us from' the love of Christ, for we are all members of his Body. We are assured of your loyalty to our Gov ernment and to the princi ples of freedom for which it stands. Someday Christ will reign and men. will learn war no more. In the meantime, let us strive to seek the ways of peace— The grace of the Lord Je sus be with you all.” Thus in a world of w’ar we learn anew the message of the Prince of Peace. ‘Come unto Me—and f will give you rest.” .• Here alone is healing balm for the world’s ills. “And, I”, He said, “if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.” Beyond the tragedy of these times this is our et ernal hope. Only by seiz ing, it can we be saved from the ravages of de- j spair. “Come unto Me— I will give you rest.” ■ I. —————— —- r» ———— Highly important for wartime needs, approxim ately 450,000 tons of waste paper have been collected in England since The war I began 25 months ago.
