Presbyterian Mission Report Relates Wartime Trials Abroad
The Allied Board of Foreign Missions to the Presbyterian General Assembly details dangers faced by missionaries in war zones. In Persia famine relief led to many deaths from disease, while Turks jailed doctors in Tabriz and looted missions. In Syria and Palestine the relief effort endured severe hardships with famine scenes and mistreatment. Korean duties hinge on delicate loyalty between Japan and Korea, with education and religion separated by Japanese policy. Latin America shows improved U S sympathy, and in India loyalty and order are noted amid challenges.
