Bruces Hear From
Son in India
This last week Dr. and Mrs. G.
W. Bruce received a letter from
their son, Cpl. Myrl D. Clark,
who is with the Signal Corps
over seas. For nearly a year he
served in India, in the Assam
Province, and just recently has
been transferred to Burma. From
there he wrote as follows:—“You
will be interested in this incident
which happened when we were
in the Assam Province, India.
One day Sgt. Noekel and I were
returning from the hills where
we had been hunting for bamboo
poles, and we came upon two
nauve boys about 14 yeais of age,
walking along tne road. We took
them lino our jeep to give tliem a
ride into town, in ey could speak
very little bnglisn. As we were
riding along, suddenly they be
gan to sing in Ergnsn, "Wearer
My God to The«.’* 1 asked them
wnere tney had learned uiut, and
tney replied tnut tney bad learn
ed it in the mission. They lived
back in tne hills some iz miles
from the mission and they told
us they were going to the mis
sion to attend worship services,
and that they went regularly
each week.
Myrl went on to say, "One
sees examples of the value of
missionary work every day. One
can see everywhere tne value of
the teaching of the Bible. Every
where are seen better homes,
better people, and more sanitary
conditions, all reaching back to
the work done by missionaries
sent out here by the churches
of America. When I get back
home I will never fail to give my
support to such a worthy cause
as missions for I have seen with
my own eyes its transforming
power and influence in the lives
of people less fortunate than
Americans.”
