CHAPLAINS IN DETENTION CAMPS
Sir,—Mr P. G. Clements's letter clearly shows that his sympathy is with the men in detention camps. As a mother of one who is there, I wish to thank him for opening up the subject of chaplains to these camps. My eldest son, of whom I am proud, is away overseas, and another is in a detention camp. I am also proud of him. Both are Methodist Bible class boys, yet during Sunday services the one away is mentioned, but not the one in the detention camp. Now that the Synod has decided to send chaplains to the camps, let us hope they will also remember them from the pulpit. I know of three Methodist boys in different camps—true disciples of Christ, and leaders of men, and I agree with Mr Clements that those men should be used and that the time of home missioners should not be wasted. —Yours, etc., A MOTHER, November 28, 1942.
