PAGAN GIRL FROM INTERIOR OF MINDANAO 'Philippine Pearls' To Be Shown Here Dr. George D. Strohm, pastor of Concord United Methodist church, and former missionary to China and the Philippines, will present in color, his latest film. “Philippine Pearls”, at th? Concord United Methodist church, Dewart Lake and Rookstool roads, Sunday evening, February 23, at 7 o’clock. Dr. Strohm was the first missionary to explore churches in the interior of the large island of Mindanao. After a quarter of a century. Dr. Strohm was invited with his wife to return to the island as the guest speaker at the annual conference of the National Churches of the Southern Philippines. Following the conference, the national church leaders, who had arrang'd a six weeks travel and speaking tour, were readv to begin a most interesting trip. It covered most of the important pagan and Mohammedan of Moro tribes in Mindanao and Sulu. The rainy season was at its hci°ht. To reach some of the places it was nec:ssary to fly over th? flooded areas and beyond the mountains. Then an old ammunition carrier was used until the rivers became too deep. When the raging torrents were too much for the horses, the natives built a banana raft. • Some of these remote tribes continue their tribal killings. Their medium of exchange is pongs, horses and wives. A good horse is worth two wives. Dr. Strohm, known for his missionary pictures, has selected one of his choice films to tell the story of what he saw and heard. The National Church in Action — The real “Pearls of th” Philiopines”. A cordial invitation is extended bv Dr. Strohm and the congregation to the entire public.
