Christianity Seen as Hope
For Ending China Regime
Hope frr overthrow of comm
unism in China is that some loa
der will bo converted to Christ
ianity, the Rev. Will Schubert,
missiona-y to the Orient for 41
years, told members of the Hep-pr.er-Morrow
County Chamber of
Commerce recently.
The Rev. Schubert, who also
spoke at the Methodist church
here was a missionary In
China under communist doc
trine for 21 months, serving In
that field when they came to
power. His present interest Is In
Japan.
nieie a "."
oi college students In Tokyo
than any place In the world.but
at least half of them favor
communism, he said.
Speaking to the Chamber on
the subject, "Some Communists
I have known," the Rev. Schub
ert told how he was allowed
certain freedoms despite his
preaching for Christianity and
opposition to communism.
Those who turned to comm
unism were regarded as spies,
he said. He evidenced no such
support but was careful In
what he said so as not to arouse
hostility.
"I didn't fight it. I wasn't put
in prision or under house arrest,"
he said. "After 21 months I was
allowed to leave. I put out th
ousands of Scripture portions to
communist soldiers."
He told how he distributed the
booklets, containing New Test
ament tracts to soldiers march
ins; back after conquering Tibet
He didn't know it at the time
but they were headed for Korea.
Some soldiers quickly put the
booklets in their Inside pockets.
Some of the officers collected
many of the books from the
soldiers ana returned them, but
"nine out of 10" let the soldiers
keep them, he said.
The Methodist missionary told
how one well-armed officer
came running towards him on
one occasion.
"I thought this was it this
was the last. It would be all
over," said the Rev. Schubert.
But the communist officer ask
ed for tAvj of the booklets
He spoKe of a communist sold
ier who was wounded and who
was brought in by a YMCA sec
retary. The secretary carried the
soldier in his arms. The com
munist dic'r.'t believe in God and
so told the Rev. Schubert who
was in a room adjoining that of
the soldie.
The missionary then tried to
reach him by appealing to his
love for his mother, but this
brought no response since the
soldier recognized no sentimen
tal value to motherhood. Where
upon the missionary told him i
that he was concerned for him t
because of his love for another !
human being.
"If you love me, help me to :
get well." the soldier said. 1
Later the man hanged him- ;
self, steeped in the futility of j
his communistic ideology.
He told of a communist leader i
whom he knew for three years.
At the ere" of this time, when
the leader was to leave, he
came to the Rev. Schubert with
tears in his eyes.
He put out his hand and said.
"I still don't believe in your God,
tut I believe in you."
The missionary told his aud
ience here, "I felt I had won
a great victory. Gratitude is a
sin to a communist.
"I think the reason I wasn't
put into prison is that somehow
these peoylo were impressed with
the message of Christianity,"
the speaker said.
"I think I will sometime see
the overthrow of the Chinese
communist just as Japan was
overthrown. The hope is that
someone inside will takeover
and declare himself Christian,"
The Rev. Schubert told how
he and his wife gave away
everything they owned and
cashed in their insurance to help
in the mission field. They work
ed 3 years without a salary.
"God provided for me," he
said.
In answer to a question. He
said that he doesn't hold much
hope that Chiang Kai-sherk
could ever overthrow the com
munists in China.
"I don t think the nationalists
can fight like the communists,"
he said.
The Rev. Schubert will return

Early Darkness
Calls for Proper
Headlight Use
Darkness is falling earlier
throughout Oregon, and resi
dents of Mvirrow county are
urged to make proper use of ve
hicle headlights as a preventa
tive measure against traffic
accidents.
Sheriff C. J. D. B.iuman said
today, "There are two major
j times w hen headlights lire bad
Iv needed line Is shortly be
fore dusk and the other Is dur
ing Inclement weather . . re
I member that parking lights are
! for parking and are Illegal when
j the conditions call for head
: lights."
"We advise all motorists to
turn their headlights on as soon
as the light begins to diminish
I In the evenings uud to leave
them on In the mornings until
daylight has been well estab
1 llsiied. This means thut some
times a motorist will actually
have to turn his lights on early
in the afternoon or slightly ear
lier when the darker winter
' months arrive."
Rain and snow are also fuc
i tors to remember when detenu
' inlng the need for headlights.
! You mav not need them to see
j to drive In the davtlme but your
' illumina t e d headlights w ill
warn other motorists of your
presence on the road.
"Whenever wet conditions
prevail," said Sheriff Bauman,
"we suggest that all motorists
turn their lights on for added
protection. In this case, It's not
so much as seeing as letting
others see you."
The formula for the use of
headlights is simple . . . when
in doubt . . . turn them on,"
concluded Sheriff Ba u m a n.
"Just remember to turn them
off when you leave your car
as many motorists forget their
lights are on during bad wea
ther and return to their parked
ears to find a dead battery.'
