The exchange ship “Gripsholm”
brought to the United States on
December 1 and 2, some 366 mis-
sionaries representing 46 boards,
agencies and churches of the
United States and Canada. Since
Pearl Harbor they had been en-
emy aliens in Japan-controlled
areas. While some of them had
suffered malnutrition during
their stay in concentration camps
or prisons, none had been mal-
treated and no atrocity stories
were heard. Most of them are ex-
pecting to return to missionary
service when the war is over.

Six young missionaries (three
married couples) were recently
added to the missionary forces
of the Presbyterian Church of
the U. S. A. in Mexico by its
Board of Foreign Missions and
two other couples have been
commissioned and will soon be
in service there.
The Friends (Quaker) Ambu-
lance Unit, serving in China,
has sixty-five Britishers, seven-
teen Americans, and eighteen
Chinese—all of whom are volun-
teers and receive no salaries.
They represent a number of Pro-
testant denominations. Most of
these ambulance drivers are en-
gaged in transport work, carry-
ing medical supplies to hospitals
in all parts of China, and serv-
ing the Chinese National Health
Administration, the Chinese Red
Cross, and the International Re-
lief Committee. Practically all
trucks run close to the Japanese
lines, and are often fired upon,
as they travel far north to the
Gobi Desert, and east almost to
Shankhai.
“The Universal Week of Pray-
er”, sponsored by the World’s
Evangelical Alliance, London,
England, will be observed from
January 2 to 9, with special ser-
vices on both Sundays. The De-
partment of Evangelism of the
Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ is / promoting the ob-
servance in the United States.
When possible, it is planned that
one or more days shall be ob-
served by all churches within a
community uniting for at least
one service; in other commun-
ities, especially where transpor-
tation is a problem, it is planned
that the observance shall take
the form of a series of cottage
prayer meetings.

AMERICAN HEROES
BY LEFF
A Western Pennsylvania corp-
oral, now on duty overseas, re-
cently wrote to his pastor:
“Since I have been out here, and
have been entertained in the
homes of Presbyterian mission-
aries, and have seen the work
they are doing, I admit I was
altogether wrong (in opposing
missionary work). When I re-
turn home, you will have no
more loyal supporter of foreign
missions. From what I have
j seen, they are a grand group of
| men and women, and are doing a
magnificent job.”
With the growing of under-
standing and friendship between
the Americas, both Catholic and
Protestant missionary bodies are
in the process of enlarging their
forces serving the various coun-
tries of the southern hemisphere.
Already large numbers of young
priests have been added to the
extensive Catholic missions
maintained from. North America.
Protestant missionaries are con-
centrating their new activities
largely among the underprivileg-
ed groups, especially the rem-
nants of Indian population still
living in need in the interior of
Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and the
“mountain republics.” The inter-
denominational emphasis on
making the Indians literate and

Bill, Jr. is one of the few children
ever to appear in a war plant and

A B-25 was taking off somewhere in North Africa. It crashed
and burst into flames. Private Eugene A. Ganter rushed forward
with three other soldiers to aid the crew. The heat was overwhelming
but Ganter and his companions, drenched from the hoses of rescue
apparatus, rescued three crew members from the blazing ship. Then
Ganter returned to remove loaded 50 caliber machine guns. He won
the Soldier’s Medal. Such are the men vour War Bonds fight beside.
