Hot Soup!

p. 37 · Read in the full issue

Courage seems to be pretty evenly dis tributed among men, black or white, and not all natives bolt at the sound of an air-raid siren, or go bush to escape burst ing bombs. Rev. D. E. Ure, LMS mis sionary in Port Moresby, relates that Nou, his cook, had prepared luncheon and got the soup on the table, when the Japs came over on one of their frequent visits. He was ordered to the shelter; but, after a while, he trotted back, gath ered up the soup from the table, and put it back on the stove, to keep hot.
