COMING IN CHUNKING.
An Ohio missionary, Mr. C. B. Pape,
writes ho ibout experiences under
three b raids. His leter vas
published in the Christian Advocate.
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. Our large household of
permanent householdd guests respond- |
ed to the beauties of nature, and af-
California poppies, |

: It all sounded pretty awful when Boston police were notified by an
indignant woman that a ‘“‘shocking’’ display of nudity was taking place
| It is only a question of time until the
Chinese will be victorious. No one |
thinks of quitting, and opposition to
this war of resistance is never even
| breathed nor is morale lessening.
One cannot help but admire such
| people. 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.

that enemy planes were coming. Has-
tily we threw open all doors and win-
dows so that the damage by concuss-
ion would be lessened of a bomb were
to fall near by.
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.

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. More
than one hundred bombs were dropped
