South Atlantic District Missionary Alliance Convention Will Open Here The Third Hhnual Convention oi the South Atlantic District of the Christian and Missionary Al liance will open tomorrow night, at the Gospel Tabernacle, corner of Sixth and Orange Streets, and continue nightly at 8:00 o’clock through Wednesday evening, No vember 14th. The speaker on the opening night will be Miss Ora Wood berry, Missionary to China. The leaders of the Gospel Tabernacle work consider they are fortunate in being able to secure the speak ers who have been assigned to them this year. Miss Woodberry Is a second generation missionary to China, where she has spent 33 years in missionary work, the last three years of which were spent with Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Jacobson in Shanghai. Those three years were spent in evangelizing, writing and publishing. During that time, a large revival was experienced in Shanghai which saw hundreds of new converts added to the Chris tian faith. Mrs. Woodberry travel ed with the revivalist, a young Chinese pastor, to many cities and provinces, and worked within several denominations. Immedi ately following this, the young Chinese pastor went to the South Pacific to continue the revival, which was interrupted by World War II. ' Communistic uprisings and Japanese invasions characterized the years since 1925, notwithstand ing which Eastern China experi enced one of the greatest eras of evangelism in its history. Miss Woodberry states that on Thanks giving Day, 1941, a cable from the Home Board “called us out of Shanghai. While in route to the States we were caught in the out break of the war and interned by the Japanese in Camp Santo Tomas in Manila for more than three years. On last February 3rd, we were gloriously rescued by our armed forces, and later repatriated, arriving in San Francisco on May 6th.” In her ad dress, Miss Woodberry will relate some of her experiences during this long period of interment. Rev. A. L. Hammond, Mission ary to French Indo-China will also speak during the convention. Rev. Mr. Hammond was the first resident Protestant missioanry to Cambodia. There he translated the Bible into the Cambodian lan guage. Mr. Hammond is expected to tell something of his first con tacts with the Cambodians, how timid they were, how nearly im possible it was to get them to at tend chapel, and the strange means used for enlisting their attendance. He states that the first converts among the Cambodians became real evangels and reach ed many of their native people, which story provides an excellent and entertaining testimony of how Providence has blessed the Christian effort in that land. Rev. W. G. Humi, pastor of the Gospel Tabernacle, expresses the hope that many persons in our local community will avail themselves of this rare opport unity of hearing the messages of these inspiring and consecrated Christian workers. The Christian and Missionary Alliance program is supported by contributions from Christians among various denominations, and, prior to the out-break ot World War II, the Alliance had approximately 500 missionaries at various posts throughout the world. This will give some idea as to the magni tude of the missionary effort of the Christian Alliance. 1 ■ — __ !
