FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 235
SOUTH CHINA MISSION
.In Kweilin, all the mission buildings—the church, the hospital, two Bible
School buildings, two schools, and three missionary residences—were destroyed
by\ Japanese bombs.
In Wuchow, the church was burned and the hospital badly damaged. Dr.
William Wallace, with a group of loyal Chinese doctors and nurses, successfully
evaded the Japanese attacks, moving from place to place in advance of- the
enemy. He has now returned to Wuchow where he and Dr. R. E. Beddoe and
Miss Lucy Wright are carrying on their work.
In Canton, all of our mission buildings were, to some extent, damaged by
air raids, but the destruction there was not so great. The Leung Wang hospital
is being repaired. Pooi Ching Boys' School, which moved to Macao during the
war, re-opened in February in Canton. Pooi In Girls' School and the Graves
Memorial Seminary have resumed their work. The Chinese Baptists, under
their own Christian leaders, are working and planning. The Leung Kwong
baptist Association is doingan excellent work in distributing relief funds among
the Christian workers in South China.
In Macao Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Galloway, Misses Lora Clement and Lenora
Scarlett are bravely carrying on their work, despite privation and countless
sacrifices.
The following excerpts from a letter from Rev. John L. Galloway throw
light on the situation in Macao. Although Mr. and Mrs. Galloway and Miss
Lora Clement were virtually prisoners of the Japanese, suffering intense privation
for more than four years, Mr. Galloway's letter makes not the slightest
mention of their personal hardships. With Christlike. selflessness their compassion
is for the Chinese sufferers among whom they work.
