simplest things to prevent them. I made a fly brush (like Grandma used to
have) out of some Japanese newspapers and have developed a fly-brush rhythm
during our meal times.
Dr. Wallace certainly did a fine work in keeping this grand group of hospital
personnel together.
We are so thankful to be back in Wuchow even if we have come to a very
badly abused building. The strength of the building proved sufficient to stand
the strain of bombings on the whole. There is a big part of the roof gone but
no material damage below the fifth floor.
Dr. Wallace has got the pump in running condition again—-that is, so that
it can be pumped by hand; the electricity is off and will probably be off for
several months to come. ,.11.0
The city church is entirely destroyed, and the book-room about halt gone.
One of the Baptist schools is in ruins, the other may be set in condition at a
price. We have worship now in one of the large hospital wards. About twentyfive
outside people came last Sunday, making around fifty with our hospital
group.
The view from the roof of the hospital is beautiful and with the mountains
round about us, like they are around Jerusalem, we are reminded of the closeness
of our Creator.

Japan on the Highway to Peace
And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning
many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.—Isaiah 2:4.
(From Chaplain Harold F. Menges comes this challenging message):
Since coming to Japan two months ago, I have visited a number of Baptist
churches and schools. Enclosed is an account of one such visit made to Seinan
Gakuin Baptist College and Middle School. _ , _ _ , . . T .
It has been a real joy to interview our Baptist Brethren in Japan—hear
them tell of the sacrifices of the war years—listen to their plans for the future,
and enjoy genuine Christian fellowship with them I can assure you the Baptist
leaders of Japan are not discouraged Their outlook for the future is one of
the most invigorating things I have felt in this broken and defeated country.
