STAYED AT THEIR POSTS
Rec. 9 a.m. LONDON, June 22. Many missionaries in the Far East have been killed or taken prisoner by the Japanese, said the Archbishop of York at the Church Assembly at Westminster.
"They could have escaped to safety, but deliberately waited at their posts for death," he said. "They died among the people to whom they were ministering." , Dr^ Garbett said a memorandum from the bishops in China showed that nine of 13 dioceses had been wholly or partly occupied by the enemy. Half of the bishops, 16 of the 18 members of the standing committee, and 20 of the 25 self-supporting- churches were now in enemy hands.
