- Stanley, Ernest
Newspaper article about Ernest Stanley and his role in saving the hostages when Santo Tomas was liberated. Ernest Stanley was born in England in 1901 and entered the work by 1924 at the latest, perhaps earlier. His name appears on early workers lists in England, California and Japan. He went to Japan a few years before the war and evidently was quite fluent in Japanese by the time the war broke out. In June, 1941, the workers left Japan and went to the Philippines. He was one of the workers interned at Santo Tomas and until the war ended, he was made an interpreter because of his fluency in Japanese. This New York Times article is about his testimony regarding Japanese war crimes and an atrocity that he witnessed. After the war he continued in the work in Japan for a few years, at least until 1948. He married a Japanese lady, adopted a son and lived in Tokyo the rest of his life. Their home seemed to be the center of activities for the work in Japan until his death in Tokyo in 1990. He was credited with being very helpful to the American civilian internees during the Los Banos, Philippines interment. He appears in Clio Mathews Wetmore's book entitled "Beyond Pearl Harbor" (1998) as one of the unsung heroes of Santo Tomas. - Stanley, Ernest with wife

John Sullivan John Sullivan was born in Dunmanway, Co. Cork 1874 and died in Australia 1924, For a time he was a school teacher in Co. Tipperary, where he heard and readily embraced the truth. He soon afterwards went forth into the work- in 1900: he is the author hymn No. 13. The story is told that his sister's husband died died leaving her in distress. John felt he ought to help her, so with the work of his hands he built her a house and put her "on her feet," then he thought, if he could do this for another, he could do it for himself, thus a battle went on in his heart and mind until one day getting under a bush opposite the house to meditate and pray he settled the matter and got the thoughts for the hymn, finally putting them into hymn form on the ship on his way home for a visit to his native shores. - Sullivan, John; Dick McClure
