A report from the Methodist Church board states seventy missionaries in Malaya Sumatra and Borneo were evacuated to India or Java after war with Japan began in December. The Malay schools may not continue under Japanese control, but churches will persist. East Java’s Netherlands Missionary Society notes Java’s church history and growth, with 62 congregations and 34,000 members in 1938.
