r THE YANCEY RECORD
PRESBYTERIAN NEWS'
Despite the war t h*e
work of Jesus Christ goes
on. “The sudden outbreak
of war has affected all
Presbyterian mission work
in the far East to a great
er or lesser degree”, norfe
the-less, according to „ the
release made public by the
Board of Foreign Missions.
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.” ■

Scrap Metal
THE N<sEl)' IS IMMEDIATE AND URGENT
Citizens of Yancey Couiity are Asked to Contribute
Old Iron, Zinc, Tin, Tin Cans, Copper, Etc.
One plan that has been suggested is that those who
would like to contribute their old metal to the Red
Cross War Relief Fund*may do .so, and the local chap
ter of the Red Cross will arrange transportation from
each community to a central place.
Those who wish to sell the metal may learn how
to separate and classify it by contacting the County
Agent’s office.
It is a partriotic privilege and duty to serve in this
way. j l -"
REI) CROSS WAR RELIEF
| ~ ....
The American Red Cross is calling for 50 f
millions dollars for War Relief. Our county
quota is $1,000.00. Donations of money will
be received gladly; donations of scrap metal
- which will be sold by the local chapter will also
aid in raising this quota.
To civilians and to the rpen in service the
Red Cross extends aid. *» For prisoners of war
it is often the one link between them and their r >
families. Our contributions, will aid them.
