Q year and @ haE. MT. McKinlSy' learned to gother and trim rattan vines from the forest and to fash- ion baskets in which food, clothing and some bedding could be carried. Dishes and spoons he made of CO., coanut shells.
 The McKinleys were often in con- tact with the guerrilla forces who aided them. Dean Mckinley per- formed marriage ceremonies, bap- tized children, started schools, aided little churches, and in many other ways contributed to the people as best he could in the brief periods of peace permitted him.
 In the tale of these two dramatic years 1t Is easy to forget the re- markable job as an educationalist which MT. Mckinley as Dean of Silliman University Theological School has done, and will continue to do when he returns to the Philip pines. Tn this post of Dean he has led in the training of young Filipino pastors and other religious work CTS who are building the Church of OE1IlSC ln CLleSS 4SAALlQS' k4lS OOA~ lege helps educate a trained minis try for the United Evangelical Church of the Philippines, and has not only men but women students. Silliman is a union effort in which both Congregationalists and Pres byterians participate.
 These young people in Dean Mo. Kinley's College of Theology have been trained not alone in their duties as pastors, but have been given instruction in how to lead Boy Scouts, In community recrea- ton projects, in cooperatives, and in homesteaders' advisory service. They learn how to conduct literacy campaigns, adn even how to irn- prove agriculture and poultry rais- ing.
 Since May, 1922, the - University campus has been the headquarters for the Japanese garrison. In just what condition the Japanese will leave the building and equipment cannot at this time be ascertained.

DeOn James FronkIin Mckinley of Philippine Islands Afternoon Speaker At Second Church

The dramatic odyssey of an American family who, in their struggle to remain free, played 8 perilous game of hide and seek with the Japanese army in the jungles and mountain reaches of the Philippine Islands and finally escaped secretly by submarine to Australia, is being told by Dean James Franklin Mckinley, Congre- gational educationalist under the American Board of Foreign Mis- sions. Dean Mckinley will speak ct the afternoon session of the Con- necticut Conference of Congrega- tional Christian Churches tomorrow at the Second Congregational church.
 For almost 6 year Dean McKin. ley has had to await official pAc- mission from the War Department to let his presence in America be known. Even now some details of his escape cannot be told. With him were his wife, Virginia Peirson Mckinley, and his three daughters: Edith Adele, 14: Phyllis Ann, H.; and Mary Elizabeth, s. Phyllis and Mary were born in the Philippines.
 When word came of Pearl liar. bor, the Mckinley family were forced to decide whether they would flee to the mountains In hope of evading the enemy, or stay and be taken prisoners of war. They chose flight, hazardous as they knew 1t would be, and for over two years lived a life of impending disaster often escaping from one hiding place to another only few hours ahead of their pursuers.
 How they managed to survive during these tragic years when their Board in America did not know whether they were alive or dead free or prisoners, Is a breath-taking story. It tells of how the Filipinos risked their freedom and even their lives to protect their American friends: how they managed to sur- vived by eating swamp vegetables, fern tips, lizards, monkeys, and at one time a wildcat; how they lived with pagan Animist tribes; how they tramped barefooted over diffi- cult mountain trails or shot wild rapids on flimsy bamboo rafts; how they lived in no less than g dif- ferent spots, often under the most primitive circumstances, and al- ways with the deadly menace of capture hanging over them.
 Under the strain of so much trav- cling through rough country their meager supply of clothes and shoes wore out. After August, 1922, the McKinleys all went barefooted for
