returning to complete his degree at McMaster most of the work having been taken extramurelly lie graduated in 1909 BIG DECISION That same year he married the former Louise Siegrist of Shallow Lake near Owen Sound graduate of the Toronto Bible College and the We came to grave decision that their life work lay in the mission ï¬elds of China Asked under what denominat ional sponsorship they plarined to Work Mr Hindle replied that they had none that their only commission was to befoundvin the words In all thy ways acki howledge Him and He shall dir ect thy paths At the time of their decision they did not poss us enough money for even their ocean passage But setting out together they spent thefnext yenrs less three furloughs in mission work in innerMongolia They found tbeirwotk richly satisfyin dur ing that time although here hung over the country at all times the fear of raids by nomad bands of bandits Onone occasion they were carried off bysu bandbut were released without harm At another time such band kept their city in state of seige for somiiweeks However was not until We id War II that their careers in China entered an entirely new phase Before the Hindles returned fortiieit third furlough in A1038 Mongolia had comeunder the domination of the Japanese the Siooananese war havinglbeeo in progress fonsome time pre vi after Returning to China on ithe outbreakof war in main in Peking Face time they assisted Chinese pastor at post in the Western Hills some 20 miles out At the end ofthe year they returned to the city where Mrs Hindie was engaged as matron of Chinese Christian school while her husband was left idle However this was quickly chan ged Suddenly one morning the principal of the school was cai led home NEW POST Mr Hindle assisted him to pack and take his belongingsvto the station returning to the school to find himself hailed to the front of conference and prayer meetingand introduced as the new principal This posit ion he acceptednot without tre pidation fo he as now years of age and his knowledge of Chinese was limited his main second language being the vast ly different tongue of the Men gols In view of me violent disrupt ihn the school had suffered it was more than satisfying toall concerned to have things level off and the yenrwentwifliou in cident right through to com mcncement exercises CARRIED ON But what of thefali opening With growingrunrest in the city should the school reepen The decision was left to the princi psi and he decided to earry on Something more than half of thestudents returned and school proceeded normally until one day it was thrown into an ip roar The Hindles 14ycnrold son had returned from the Am erican school he attended bear ing the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor iiapan was now at war with Britain and thelln ited States DESTROY RECORDS Knowing they wouldnow be classed as enemy nationals Mr Kindle and his English confrere on the staff held quick confer ence and agreed that they would have to quit teaching Working quickly they destroyed alithe school records lest they should bring trouble on the heads at thoselwho had attended For some time the indies were restricted to their own compouodpandjhen for 16 men the were accorded the freedom of the city Thishowever was too good to last and lorfivo and half months they found them selves interned in nJapanaso concentration camp In retrospect the Hindles feel that lifetherc wasnot too bad Personally they wm well neat ed Some foods were in scant supply but there was always plenty of bread sometimes with only tea or water to go win it And yet alter the uncertain sit uatinns in Mongolia and Peking they foundhcre relaxed and restful existence Mr Hindle found the Japanese to be proud and brave race who regard themselves as the most civilized people in the world They had little respect for those nationals who rnn away as compared to those who stay ed to meetwhatever fate held for them EXCHANGE The end of their internment came when they were worked into prisonercxchange and they roturnc id North America the SCGripshoim Since their retum they have lived in Woodstock where they have two daughters residing Their son is
