SOCIETY NEWS Missionary Group Hears Talk on The Philippines The 100 members and guests of the First Presbyterian Missionary society who attended last Thursday's luncheon session carried away with them a vivid impression of life in the Philippine Islands and how the educational and religious work was carried on prior to Japanese domination. Guest speakers were Dr. and Mrs. Hibbard who went to the islands in 1889 and in 1900 started the foundation of the Fillaman university as well as printing the first newspaper in the Philippines. They lived in the islands for forty years. Mrs. Hibbard stated that at the time the Japanese invaded the islands, 2,000 students were enrolled in the university and that the library contained 25,000 fine books. In an effort to save them they were buried in the cement floor of a chapel that was under construction, but the enemy located the books and filled the deep pit with water so that they were destroyed. They were fanatic in their determination to destroy anything printed in English, she said, and they burned over two million books at one time. She made an appeal for books to be donated for the rehabilitation of the islands and it was arranged that any donations in religious, educational or fiction books could be left at the Presbyterian church. The speaker was becomingly costumed in a delicate apricot native dress that was fashioned from Manila rope. She spoke of the manner in which high military leaders have since praised the fine work carried on by Christian leaders in the islands.
