Better Homes in America is a
non-commercial, educational ag
ency formed to help American
families gain a knowledge of the
ways in which, at minimum cost,
they may make improvements in
their own homes or acquire ade
quate homes of their own. The
program of the organization is
adapted to local needs of the
thousands of committees estab
lished in cities, towns, and vil
lages throughout the country. An
nually the Better Homes cam
paign is sponsored by civic or
ganizations, women’s clubs, men’s
clubs, churches and in some com
mittees by schools and colleges
as a part of their educational pro
gram. Since 1922 the organization
has acted as a coordinating agen
cy to correlate the activities of
civic and educational organiza
tions interested in the improve
ment of housing conditions and
home and community life.
The Better Homes campaign for
the State will culminate in the
observance of National Better
Homes Week, April 28 to May 4,
when the attention of the entire
state will be focused on the home
improvements and new home
building accomplished during the
year.

Parts of Miss Murray’s letter
are reproduced below, as Mrs.
Wilburn believes that it will be
•read with interest here. Especial
i ly to be noted are descriptions of
. the now all but forgotten war in
China, a conflict which contin
ues today, despite the fact that
little news from the “Chinese
front” is being reported in cur
rent newspapers.
Dear friends and co-laborers,
You will not mind a printed
letter, I am sure, when you real
ize how precious are the hours in
these days of unparalleled oppor
tunity. I do want you to know
that in such times as we are pas
sing through in China your pray
ers, your gifts and letters are ap
preciated.
Join us in praise that in spite
of war with its terrible air raids,
of which Chengchow has had
many since February 14, 1939,
the work of the Lord goes on. The
congregation of the city church
has changed in that many of our
own people have fled, but others
have come. The usual early morn
ing prayer meeting, Sunday ser
vices, and week day Bible classes
are well attended. On May 26
Bible class students and Pastor
Timg had a narrow escape when
during a raid four bombs fell on
our compound. A bomb which
fell about fifteen feet from the
church burst in a tree-top and
Pastor Tung who was in a dug
cut near the tree and the stud
ents in the basement are now a
live. If it had burst on the ground
likely many would have been
killed. As it was, only the church
roof was slightly damaged.
In the outstations only one
compound has been hit, Mi Hsien
church and other buildings on
compound are badly demolished.
My diary for April 24 reads,
“Praise the Lord for His presen
ce—His comforting presence in
the midst of terrible raid in Mi
Hsen when, as we worshipped at
the noon hour, six Christians
were killed and several wounded.
As I pulled myself from the de
bris, about three feet away lay
Mr. Liang dead. To my right, a
bout three or four feet away, sat
three of our fine folks seriously
wounded.” Praise to Him for the
fact that though the church build
ing was a wreck, the church met
in the following Sunday outside
the city under the shade of pop
lar trees by a river. At the close
of the service the church voted to

to my own soul, for I learned
more of a God of comfort in a

known. As I stood up in the

were indescribable. In a flash the

blessedness of going to be with
