Wednesday, May 8, was a glorious spring morning. We woke to the joy- ful songs of many birds on the top of a mulberry tree somedistance was a Chinese blackbird pouring forth won- | derful melodies. It is our sweetest singer. Never was the lawn or garden so beautiful as on this spring morn- ing. Sweet peas, several varieties of roses, snapdragon, nasturtiums, daisies, and many other flowers added to the beauty of | the world.

They have suffered and are | suffering as few people have suffered and yet the ycarry on. Our great leaders, Generalissimo and Madame Chiang, show just as fine a Christian spirit as ever. We | have thrown in our lot with these peo- ple and we shall gladly carry on in | the same spirit, the Lord being our Helper. We have learned this ,and if we trust in God and do our best He | takes care of us in a remarkable way. We are working at tremendous press- ure under the most trying circumstan- | ces, and we need your prayers as nev | er before. TRINITY METHODIST am iE I!

We ran out of the compound down two long flights of steps into the bowels of the earth where we could have protection from these awful mis- sles of destruction dropped from the skies from giant bombers flying at a height of ten thousand feet, or more. Our cave has three entrances and con- sistes of a series of tunnels running 50 or 60 feet under a hill on the campus. This is one of three and will hold six or seven hundred people. Soon the second warning consisting of short blasts of the sirens was given, and the drone of the Chinese pursuit planes came distinctly to our ears. I counted eighteen of these spir- aling to gwin altitude and thus to be above the enemy planes when they ar- rived. We knew that other Chinese planes were treveling on a bigger cir- cle with the object of engaging the enemy before they reached us. In a few moments the heavier drone of the big bombers reached our ears, and almost immediately from all sides the anti- aircraft gums cut loose. There was also the sharp stacca- te of machine guns and the whine of the pursuit planes as they power-dived on the enemy. I gave the order for those in charge of the entrance to get under cover away from the entrances, and ran down the steps to the cave. As | I reached the bottom there were deaf- | ening explosions, and the crash of fall- ing buildir ind the earth seemed to heave, wav n wave under my feet.

I started to buildings and had reached the floor just in time to see through the flying in formation directly overhead. From all sides the anti-aircraft guns lets in the growing dark were a spec- tacular sight. I saw one big bomb fall directly on the Red Cross hospital half a mile away across the wvalley. There was a terrific explosion and al- roaring inferno. It sickened me to im- agine the suffering that was going on in that hospital at that moment. Al- sions on al sides, the hospital rocked like a cradle and I was almost swept off my feet by the concussions.
