New Chambers
Church Goes Up
(Continued from page 1)
Here she began a new work
in this wicked place by organ
izing first a mission Sunday
school and later a church, the
only Christian work in the vil
lage. She learned of the evil in
fluence of Panitan by patients
who were brought to the hos
pi:al as a result of injuries. The
name “Panitan’’ means literally
“to take the skin off” and the
mere mention of the name a
wakened terror in the hearts
of many.
One day a young girl came
to the hospital from this wick
ed town to train in the school
for nurses. Magdalena became
an efficient and Christian nurse
and graduated among the first
to finish. She married a Chris
tian young man and both went
back to Panitan to serve their
new-found Master. The work
grew in spite of persecution, op
position and wickedness.
In 1932 a little bamboo
church was built on the same
spot where drinking and figh
ing were carried on at the old
cockpit.
Later during a typhoon the
church was destroyed and re
built; during World War II it
was again destroyed by the Ja
panese. In 1949 the little churh
was again rebuilt with the help '
of American and Philippine
f. iends and dedicated.
At the time of Japanese oc
cupation of the Philippines, Miss
Adams, with the staff of doc
tors and nurses from Emmanuel
hospital, received government
orders to evacuate the hospit
al and move the patients to a
school at Dumalog, some miles
from Capiz.
This began the dangerous and
weary months of exile in the
forest country as a fugitive
from the Japanese troops, car
rying on their work under great
handicaps. Finally they were
pressed back by the foe to a
secluded place near a beautiful
stream, later named by the fugi
tives “Hopevale." It was here
they were compelled to remain
in hiding with only God and '
the Philippine friends to supply
their needs.
They had no money, they
needed none.
In this deep yecess of every
green, reached only by a "wind
ing and misleading trail" lived
the little band of Christians for 1
nearly 2 years They preached
the gospel, healed the sick, and
worshipped God in their sacred
outdoor chapel constructed of
native rocks and wood. Baptis
mal services were held for those
who found Light in this dark
place.
Finally, at a Sunday wor
ship service, the Japanese
soldiers made a surprise at
tack, capturing the entire
band. They were driven to
the nearest village of Katipu
nan where after much plead
ing they were granted their
last request — that they be
given one hour to pray.
The full price of devotion wa=
paid—martyrs for the cause oi
I Christ at the hands of Japanese
| military. She, with 16 others,
share a common grave on a hill
I at “Hopevale" now marked by
a large cross.
The home church of Jennie
Clare Adams was founded by 3
consecrated piongtav, Rev. J.
L. Coppoc, a Baptist preacher;
R. C. Wry, a school teacher;
and T V. Norvell, a young doc
tor. These Christian pioneers
recognized the great need of the
spiritual life in this new' coun
try—the prairies of Holt county.
The first Baptist church was
organized September 24, 1884
in the little sodhouse of T. V.
Norvell one-half mile east of
the present church. Land was
given to the church by one of
its founders, R C. Wry and
about 1887 the first little church
was built. Twice the church
was remodelled and enlarged.
In 1929 the entire Harold church
membership was transferred,
the building moved and made
a part of the former unit. This
consolidation filled a great need
for this growing church.
Rev. J L. Coppoc was the
first pastor. Full - time foreign
missionaries of the Cross have
gone from this church. Besides
Miss Adams, there are Rev- and
Mrs. Ward R. Smith and fam
ily, to Honduras, Central Am
erica, in 1949.

; Mary’s Cardinals, unbeaten last
year in 6-man circles, will en
tertain St. Patrick’s, of Fremont,
| una^r tae lights here tonight
(Thursday)—the season’s open
er in Carney park.
Arbuthnot will field a team
somewhat lighter than 1949’s

the Hilltop fold are Larry Krysl,
senior end; Don Becker, junior
end; Jack Carney, senior center;
' Connie Murphy, senior end.
Among the better prospects
are Jerry Wanser, soph end;
Don Donohoe, junior halfback;
Jim Kelly, junior center; Wayne
Donohoe, Jim DeBacker and
| Bob Hynes.
Prof. Jack laments that there
is a lot of “greenness” about his
team this year, but then he is
making comparisons to his hard
ened veterans of the unbeaten
Card edition last year.
This will be St. Mary’s first i
go against St. Patrick’s, of Fre- !
mont. The school there is head- j
ed by Rev. B. J. Leahy, former i
assistant pastor at St. Patrick’s
here. Officials of both schools
hope tills is the beginning of a
long athletic rivalry.
Game time is 8 o’clock.
