연합 학교 사업

목사 D. A. 번커 저

By Rev. D. A. Bunker

서울의 선교부들 간의 교육 연합 사업은 두 가지 측면을 제시한다. 즉, 일방은 경제적인 관점에서, 다른 한편은 기독교 우애의 관점에서 이를 보려 한다. 이 사업의 가장 광대한 견해는 기독교적 성격의 젊은이들을 양성하는 데 있어 이 두 측면을 함께 고려해야 한다는 것이다. 왜 여러 개의 독립적인 학교들이 같은 교과서를 사용하고, 같은 수업을 하며, 같은 교육 방침으로 진행되면서도 일을 해야 하는가? 목적은 기독교의 명칭을 들어 이 민족 젊은이들 가운데 지도자와 지식 있는 사람들을 얻는 것이 아닌가? 만약 목표가 목사직이나 다른 정직한 직업으로 나아가는 모든 남자들을 기르는 것이라면 경우는 다를 수 있지만, 그렇지 않은 것이 현실이다. 우리 기독교 공동체의 정신은 교회에 대항하는 일을 원하지 않는다. 사실 그리스도의 사역자들이 원하는 것이지 교회만을 위한 것이 아니다.

Union educational work among the missions in Seoul presents two aspects--we may look at it from the view point of economy or from that of Christian fellowship. The broadest view of the subject is to be had by considering these two aspects together. Why should the missions here carry on two or more independent schools in which the same text-books are used, the same lessons taught, in short the very same line of work being carried out, that of turning out young men of Christian character who shall be fitted for entering the ministry or to follow any other honorable vocation? The aim is not to turn out men of this or that denomination primarily; it is to get before this people young men who are worthy and qualified to be their leaders in any walk of life whatsoever. If the aim were to get men to train always under the denominational colors the case would be different, but such is not the case. The spirit of Christian fellowship of our little community cries out against this. It is workers for Christ that is wanted and not workers for this or that church.

다시 한 번, 서울에 두 개 이상의 선교 학교가 있어야 하는 이유는 무엇인가? 모든 필요한 시설을 한 곳에 집중할 수 없는가? 한 채플, 한 체육관, 한 과학 건물, 한 실험실과 조금의 추가 좌석 용량과 바닥 공간을 가진 한 건물이 학교 중 한 학년의 모든 학생들은 물론이고 같은 수준 또는 그 이상의 학생들을 수용할 수 있을 것이다. 같은 수의 교사들과 제한된 지원으로 완성할 수 있을 것이다.

Again, why should there be two or more mission schools in Seoul when all the students cap be accommodated in one set of class rooms? One chapel, one gymnasium, one science building, one laboratory, with little addition of seating capacity and floor room, will accommodate all the scholars of any one grade of our schools as well as two or more like buildings would. The same corps of teachers with limited assistance can

어떤 미래의 시간에 진행 상황이 가로막히지 않는다면, 저는 서울에서 일이 위의 광범위한 윤곽을 따라 채워지고 그 다음에는 이 작은 제국에서 이루어지는 포괄적인 연합 학교 체계의 필요성과 중요성을 명확히 할 수 있을 것이라고 믿는다.

At some future time, if the wheels of progress are not blocked, the writer on school matters in Korea will be able to fill in the above meagre outline of work as it stands today, and give the reader a comprehensive view of a well developed union school system in this little empire.

이 모든 질문들은 연합의 찬성하는 쪽에서만 다시 한 번만 답변되었을 뿐이다. 연합 교육 사업의 주제는 선교부 초기 시간에 매우 적절한 때 나타났다. 선교부와 관련된 어떤 것도 없었고, 지금 건물들이 필요할 때가 되어 연합 학교 사업이 다시 열렸다. 이 사업의 문제는 2년 전 Methodist 신학 두 기관이 고등학교에서 연합하려는 계획으로 결정되었다. 같은 수준의 Methodist 학교와 연합 작업을 계속할 계획으로 반대 의견이 거의 없었다.

All these questions have been up again and again only to be answered overwhelmingly in favor of union. The matter of union in educational work was settled by the two Methodist bodies three years ago when they united in high school work with a view of continuing united work in finishing schools of the classical and collegiate grades. The work has been a success in every way. The past autumn the subject of union was re-opened with a view of uniting the Presbyterian high school with the union Methodist school of the same grade. There was almost no opposition. The number of voices dissenting from the union could be counted on the thumbs of two hands. Today we are carrying on the high school work of the three missions under one roof and all goes well. We have a pupil or two less than one hundred on roll with an available teaching force of four foreigners. It is easy to see the economy that results from such a union as this, economy in money and economy in men; and these are the two lines along which every effort is being made to make an inch cover an ell. It goes without saying that there is not a thriving mission in the world today from which the cry for more men and more money goes not up. Union along just the lines laid out in our educational work in a measure meets this demand of the hour.

현재 이 사업은 임시 기초 위에서 수행되고 있지만, 영구적인 연합에 대한 계획들이 초안되어 본국의 여러 선교부에 제출되었다. 그리고 그것은 오직 그들의 인정을 받기 위한 순서에서만 남아 있다.

At present the work is being carried on on a tentative basis, but plans for permanent union have been drafted and submitted to the various Boards at home, and it only remains to receive their sanction in order that what has been so well begun shall be carried on to the best of the ability of those who have the work in hand.

한국의 착한 사마리아인

Good Samaritans in Korea

의사 J. W. 허스트 저

By J. W. Hirst, M.D.

7월 30일 일요일 나는 황해도 소래 마을 교회에서 아침 예배에 참석했다. 그 날씨는 놀랍도록 아름다웠다. 따뜻하고 밝은 햇빛, 상큼한 산들바람이 창밖으로 가득했고, 깊은 숲 너머로 새들이 지저귀고 있었다. 자연의 모든 것이 여름의 기쁨을 드러내고 있었다. 예배가 끝나자 전체 회중이 지역 주민들의 일반적인 인사로 150명 이상이 참석했다. 그것은 한국 청중을 보는 것이 기쁜 일이었고, 모임 종료 시 한국인 청중과 방문객들을 맞이하려는 관례가 있는지 확인했다. 그들은 누구도 서로 우호적이지 않거나 예비심을 보여서는 안 된다. 그들은 매우 사교적이고 자유로우며 낯선 사람들에게도 친절해야 한다.

On Sunday July 30th I attended morning service in the village church of Sorai in Whang Hai province. The day was superbly beautiful--warm bright sunshine, a pleasant breeze wafting in thro' the open windows the sweet odor of fields beyond, birds singing in the trees without, all nature revealing summer's fulness. The service over, there followed a period of general salutations by the entire congregation of 150 or more. It is ever a pleasure to watch a Korean audience at the close of meetings greet each other and any visiting strangers. They are so cordial and free that there ought to be no room for a thought of unfriendliness among themselves or of reserve towards visitors.

마지막에 우리는 문에 도착했고, 정말로 Lowell의 Sir Launfal처럼, 우리는 "나병환자들이 같은 방식으로 버려져" 있었고, 그의 존재로 인한 불쾌한 감각을 느꼈다. 그러나 불행하게도, 우리는 왜 이 불행한 인간의 상태를 살펴보고 가능하면 완화해야 할지 묻지 않겠는가? 그는 누구였는가? 그 외국인 의사는 어디서 오는가? 오, 어디서든! 그는 그 지역에서 왔는가? 그는 친구가 있었는가? 아니오. 돈? 아니오. 그리고 그는 상처받은 눈을 가진 고통받는 사람으로 물었을 때 한국 언어로 "생명은 내 안에 남아있을 수 있다"고 말했다.

At last we found ourselves at the door; but, like Lowell's Sir Launfal, we were "'ware of a leper crouched by the same,'' and felt the discordant note of his presence in the glad scene around us. However, since we were all so happily fortunate, why should we not look into this poor man's condition and relieve it if possible. Who was he? No one knew. Whence came he? Oh! anywhere! Was he there? He had heard that a foreign doctor was coming that way. How and where did he get that news? God knows, who else may? Thus does rumor spread on silent wings all over Korea. Had he come far? From a distant county. Had he friends? No. Money? No. And he looked his appeal out of sad and suffering eyes as he asked in the Korean idiom that "Life might be left in him.''

표면적인 검사는 그의 복부 수술이 아마도 회복의 길로 그를 놓을 것이라고 나타냈다. 그러나 그 남자가 치료를 위해 어디에서 보살펴질 수 있을까? 교회 사람들은 빨리 그 문제를 조사하기 위해 제안을 했다. 이 보고는 시간에 적절하게 왔고, 금전이 그의 병치료 동안 그를 지지하기 위해 즉시 제공되었다고 말했다. 다음 날 나는 마을에 들어갔고 가장 큰 집 중 하나에서 그 남자를 찾았다. 우리는 Elder Saw의 아들인 Hyo Guon Hi로 인도되었다. 그는 또한 후에는 의료 종사자였다. 그는 Seoul의 Dr. Avison 아래에서 한 번 학생이었고 따라서 수술 의복에 대해 조금 알고 있었다. 나는 그를 나에게 꽤 도움이 되었다고 느꼈고, 따라서 Dr. Avison에 대해 한 가지 더 사건을 가지고 있다.

A superficial examination indicated that an operation would probably put him on the highroad to recovery. But where could the man be cared for during and after such an ordeal? Who would feel and who nurse him? The church people quickly offered to look into the matter and report to me on the morrow. This report came in due time saying that money had been immediately provided to support him during his illness. A place also had been found where these services could be rendered. I went into the village the next day and found the man in one of its largest houses. We were conducted by Elder Saw's son, Hyo Guon Hi who also was helpful and a medical helper for the man subsequently. He had been at one time a student under Dr. Avison in Seoul and therefore knew a little about surgical dressings. I found him quite a help to me and so have one more incident for which to thank Dr. Avison.

우리는 상황 범위 내에서 그 남자를 최선으로 정화했다. 한국 관습은 질병 진행 중 목욕을 허용하지 않으므로, 그리고 질병이 상당한 기간 동안 계속되면, 처음 씻는 것이 항상 완전히 만족스럽지는 않다. 그러나 우리는 청결함을 얻기 위해 조치를 취했고, 또한 우리는 불쾌한 상황에 대해 청결함을 얻을 계획을 세웠다. 우리는 그 남자가 최고의 정화, 우리가 그 범위 내에서 할 수 있는 것을 고려했다. 한국 관습은 질병 진행 중 목욕을 허용하지 않으므로, 그리고 질병이 상당한 기간 동안 계속되면, 처음 씻는 것이 항상 완전히 만족스럽지는 않다. 그러나 우리는 청결함을 얻기 위해 조치를 취했고, 또한 우리는 불쾌한 상황에 대해 청결함을 얻을 계획을 세웠다.

We gave that man the best cleansing we could under the circumstances. Korean custom does not permit bathing during the progress of an illness, so that, when a disease has continued for a considerable time, the first washing is not always entirely satisfactory. However we managed to get a measure of cleanliness and also managed to get a measure of cleanliness and also managed to get a cleansing in regard to the disagreeable situation.

Sorai 마을의 착한 사람들이 자신들을 어떤 사람을 찾은 방랑자를 위한 가치 있는 계승자임을 증명했다. 그리고 그것은 더 이상 1000년 전과 다르지 않다.

Thus all the good people of Sorai village prove themselves worthy successors of him who found a stricken wayfarer beside the Jericho road more than 1900 years ago.

천주 도시 사업

Chunju City Work

목사 W. M. 준킨의 1905년 9월 개인 보고서

From Personal Report of Rev. W. M. Junkin, September 1905

우리는 사업 거리에서 일요일 오후에 거리 채플 설교를 하고 있다. 이는 선교사들이 참여하는 다양한 사업의 중심이 되었다. 이는 또한 많은 사람들에게 도달하는 사업을 개발했고 시내 사람들이 "변"을 통해 찾기 위해 몇 천 명의 책을 배포했으며 이곳에서 이 경로로 설교하는 기쁨과 행복을 얻었다.

We have street chapel preaching on the business street Sunday afternoon's in which missionaries and various branches take part. This also been a centre for tract distribution. Besides reaching numbers of people, it has developed some Christians in preaching power and has solved the question of what to do with the school boys Sabbath afternoons. At the market we have done much preaching and many books. Good 'cults have followed and many city people have listened at the 'chang' who would not step to hear on the street. Tracts in thousands have been distributed and the acquaintance of many people made here. From a cross, this kind of preaching has gotten to be a pleasure, and a good many very happy days have been spent in this way.

2월 도시로 온 후기 계급의 두 명이 처음으로 교회에 나왔다. 한 달 후 Dr. Forsythe는 상처를 입었고, 저명한 Ye 가족이 탈주했다. 그 보고서는 이 사건을 이 지방의 실제 순위의 단단한 순위 위에 표시했다. 일본 군인들이 들어왔고, 많은 사람들이 처음에는 좋은 것 같았지만 나중에 교회에 왔다고 생각했기 때문이다. 따뜻한 봄날씨로 인해 우리는 평원을 따라 가로막힘 없는 설교 흐름을 계속했다. Boys 일요일 학교는 뜰에서 열려야 했다. 성서 수업이 사무실의 실제 시설 내에서 조직되었고, 일일적으로 성경과 경건서는 구간마다 배포했다. 일본인들이 한국 군인들을 방치했고, 많은 사람들이 왔으므로, 우리는 새로운 교회를 지어야 했다. 우리의 새로운 남자들, 장군 Ye가 저를 건물을 위한 게이트 쿼터의 교회 지킴이로 주었다.

In February two of the lest class of city men came to church for the first time. They came by the back streets. A month later Dr. Forsythe was wounded, and the prominent Ye family became represented on the men's side of the curtain. The reports of this break in the solid ranks of respectability spread, and others came to see if it was so. Then the Japanese soldiers came in, and many came to church because they thought it was good for their bodies. So by warm spring breeze confronted with an over flow. The boys' Sunday-school had to be held in the yard. A Bible class was organized in the office of an ex-magistrate, and the daily sale of Bibles and hymn-books ran apace. The Japanese disbanded the Korean soldiers and many of them came, so we began to see that we must have a new church. The three bought and paid for the last lot in the city for a church site--a typical eastern trade, with a final payment of one fourth of the original amount demanded; then the government offered us the old mission houses at our own figure. one of which will be re-erected at once for a church. One of our new men, General Ye, has given us a building to be used as gate quarters for keeper of the church.

그 형제 Dr. Forsythe가 신앙으로 치료하고 있을 때, 그는 신앙을 위해 처음 안식일에 사상에 나타났다. 감사 헌금에서 2백 파운드의 무게가 있었다고 말했고, 작은 집사가 작은 사람을 초대했을 때 그를 고용하려고 했다. 이 아름다운 가족 중 다른 이들도 나중에 교회에 왔고, 일요일에 감사 헌금을 들었다. 우리의 새로운 건물과 가정 친구들을 계획할 때, 이것이 우리가 원래 상황에서 2/3의 종 경비 계획이다.

The man whose brother Dr. Forsythe was treating when he was shot at church the first Sabbath with a thank-offering in copper cash that weighed two hundred pounds, just double the weight of the little deacon who had to hire a man to get it into the church. Another of the same family, who was a hardened buddhist and had bowed before images for forty years, came out a few Sundays ago with a thank-offering for our new church building, announcing that she had decided for the Lord. It is our plan to make the natives pay two thirds of the expense of the new building and the home friends one. This is the plan upon which the church at

Pyeng Yang이 지어졌고, 우리는 지금 교회가 이때 자체적으로 많은 일을 지원할 것이라고 느낀다. 왜냐하면 적은 수의 사람들이 평신도들에게 의미하는 기도 모임이 가장 충실한 일들을 했기 때문이다. 우리의 마지막 기도 모임은 지난해 우리가 가진 것이 아니라는 이유로 흥미로웠다. 일반적으로 이유를 알 수 없다. 우리의 마지막 것 중 하나는 모든 여성들이 바닥에 앉아 있었고 작은 소년도 더 큰 토끼보다 바깥쪽으로 착각한 것이 희미해 보였다. 이를 표현하려면 내 동료 중 한 명에게 "당신 현재 것들 Chunju에서는 역시 커다란 것들이 당신 앞에 있다"고 말했다. 그 사람들이 기도와 칭찬의 영으로 주어졌고, 우리는 느꼈다 그 하나님이 오랫동안 씨를 뿌려 온 곡식의 가장 따뜻한 종자를 얻고 있다.

Pyeng Yang was built, and we feel that even this much self-support will burden the church at this time when so few people of means are members of it. Our church must needs be larger than the ordinary country straw-roof building. For example, at the last year the men's side was all filled by the members of the class, so that on Sunday the majority of our ordinary congregation were either outside or packed like sardines in a box. The new people are in reaching many others in various districts; e.g., Kim china has interested the people in a couple of districts. They are sent to us for books, sometimes twenty men at a time, and he has allowed them to use one of his country building for a place of meeting, and they and others are asking us to send out Christians to teach them on Sundays. When we get our church up and in a place accessible to all comers, we have every reason to expect not only a big city church, but a number of country churches to grow out of it. Already at Palong there are so many that when they come in a body it looks like a young army. They expect to organize this year and are only waiting to get a good start on their building. They have a promising run at our school. His age is twenty-six, but he studies with boys half his age. Our prayer-meeting grows in numbers and in interest. Our last one was the fullest we have had. It is not unusual to see a family having a new interest in a lad of the household starting to service. Just the other day I saw all the women down on the floor and a little boy not much larger than a jack rabbit down on the outside with his little nose in the dirt. To use an expression that belongs to one of my beloved colleagues, ''I tell you there are great things just ahead of us in Chunju.'' The people are given the spirit of prayer and praise and work, and we feel that God is giving the harvest of seed long since sown.

Kim chinsa는 흥미로운 사람들이 나타났고, 아직도 사람들을 위한 책, 때때로 한 번에 20명의 남자들과 그는 마을 건물 중 하나를 그들이 일요일에 사용하도록 허락했고, 그들과 다른 사람들은 일요일에 그들을 가르치기 위해 그들을 보내달라고 요청하고 있다.

Kim chinsa interesting people, and yet the people are in reaching many others in various districts; e.g., Kim china has interested the people in a couple of districts. They are sent to us for books, sometimes twenty men at a time, and he has allowed them to use one of his country building for a place of meeting, and they and others are asking us to send out Christians to teach them on Sundays.

늙은 종

The Old Servant

미센 로셀라 H. 크람 저

By Mrs. Rosella H. Cram

Songdo에 있는 선교사들 사이에서 알려진 충실한 기독교인의 대칭은 고급 가족의 종이었다. 우리 여인의 선교부가 Songdo에 처음 갔을 때, 그들의 여인 중 대부분이 도시에 와서 외국 여인들을 볼 수 있었지만, 이 늙은 종은 육체로 그녀는 들어 있었고, 그녀의 마음도 하나님께 주어졌다. 그녀는 선교사들로부터 시간을 시작했고 말씀을 듣기를 열망했다.

Such is the term by which one of our faithful Christians in Songdo is known among the missionaries. She was the servant of a high class family. When the ladies of our Woman's Board first went to Songdo, almost all of the women of the city came to have a view of the foreign women. This old servant came with the rest, but not only did she get a sight of the strange women but she heard a strange story which stirred her heart. She visited the missionaries from time to time and heard the Gospel. She gave her heart to God and became a sincere believer.

그러면 그녀의 핍박이 시작되었다. 그녀가 일했던 가족은 외국인들에게 반대하는 것을 원하지 않았다. 그녀가 교회에 대해 말했을 때, 그들은 그녀를 거짓 종으로 소리쳤다. 그녀가 기도했을 때도, 그들은 그녀를 조롱했다. 그러나 그럼에도 불구하고 그녀의 방해와 장애를 지나, 그녀는 그녀의 신념에 확고히 남아 있었다. 그녀의 생명은 바뀌었고 그녀는 성령의 힘을 가졌다. 거기 가시 바다에서 그녀는 안식일을 찾아야 했고, 드디어 다른 종도 가정의 일을 통해 비슷한 영향을 받았고, 그 거주 밤은 방문 선교사를 통해 관심을 가졌다. 마치 Nicodemus처럼 그들은 밤 시간에 와서 선교사들을 방문했다. 딸들은 읽기를 배웠고 은혜 안에서 자랐다.

Then began her persecutions. The family for which she worked wanted nothing to do with the foreigners or their doctrine. When she spoke of the church, they reviled her. When she prayed, they mocked. But notwithstanding the impediments and obstacles which were put in her way, she remained firm and true to her convictions. Her life was changed and she had the power of the Holy Spirit upon her. She went to church at Sabbath whensoever she could be relieved from her work. Finally another servant of the household, through her earnest-ness, became interested. They helped each other with the work and took Sunday about going to the church services. It was not long before the mistress of the household and her two daughters also became interested in the strange story of redemptive love. They too wanted to see the lady missionaries, but being high class women they could not go out on the streets in the day time. Then they were afraid of the man of the house. They waited until he should go off to visit some ancestral graves or go on business to the capital and then they secretly visited the missionaries. Like Nicolemus they came at night time, and

들었다 구원의 기쁜 소식. 그 남자 가족의 처음은 그 집의 남자가 부러워서 교회 서비스에서 도움이 될 수 없었다. 그 남자는 이미 40년 동안 상 아래를 기도했고 따라서 새로운 종교를 거주하지 않을 수 없었다. 그 여자와 그 딸은 낯선 여인 선교사들을 보고 싶었지만, 고급 계급 여성이므로 그들은 낮 시간에 거리에 나갈 수 없었고, 그들은 그 집의 남자를 두려워했다. 그들은 그가 조상의 무덤들을 방문하거나 수도로 가거나 또는 가기를 의도한 것까지 기다렸고, 그들은 비밀리에 선교사들을 방문했다. 니고데모와 같이 그들은 밤 시간에 왔고, 그들은 구원의 놀라운 뉴스를 들었다.

heard the wonderful news of salvation. For her at the man of the house they could not break through Korean restrictions and customs and come out boldly to the public church services but in their home they have shown their faith and trust in God. The man of the house did not object to the ladies coming to his home, so from that time began a friendship which has lasted through years whereby an afternoon or evening had been spent in this home in social intercourse and in teaching the way of life more perfectly.

딸들은 읽기를 배웠고 은혜 안에서 자랐으며, 구원의 좋은 소식이 그 집 남자가 따르는 것을 나타냈다. 이제 "늙은 종"이라고 불리는 충실한 인격이 그녀의 삶으로 그녀의 여주인과 두 딸을 왕국으로 이끌었다.

The daughters learned to read and have seen grow in grace, testifying to a happy confidence in the Heavenly Father. Thus the 'old servant' by her faithful, consistent life brought her mistress and two daughters into the kingdom.

부산의 시골 사업

Fusan's Country Work

목사 R. H. 사이드보텀의 1905년 9월 개인 보고서

From Personal Report of Rev. R. H. Sidebotham, September 1905

항구에서 멀리 떨어진 사업은 지난해 강력한 발전을 했다. 이는 일반적인 교회의 좋은 것들과 나아가 지금 보여준다 그 씨앗이 심어진 후 년 동안 자란다는 것을 받는 것이다. 나는 모든 교회들을 3-4배 방문했고, Kimhai 5배, Milyang 6배 동안 그 해에 방문했다, 그리고 이미 이 일곱 개의 기독교 집단이 이미 162명의 기독교인들로 방문받았다.

The work away from the port has had a strong, healthy development during the year, has pushed on from good things to better things, now showing that the seed sown in years gone by is bringing forth fruit a hundred fold. I have visited all the churches three, much of them four times, Kimhai city five, and Milyang six times during the year: and cordially seems to grow with every visit. The old groups, especially Kimhai city, have taken on new life, and we have four new church buildings to report. Seven Christian groups have been visited by me this year for the first time, and already these seven number 162 Christians.

Kimhai 도시, 우리의 가장 오래된 시골 교회, 많은 수에서 열정을 증가시켰으며, South Kyeng Sang 지방에서 가장 큰 시골 교회가 되었습니다. Mr. Pay는 Kimhai-Golden Sea County의 뛰어난 지도자입니다. 그는 구원자와 목자일 때 남자들을 호출하고 목양받을 때 도달했습니다. 그의 집에는 17명의 의료진이 추가되었고, 올해 25명의 카테키메이즈가 있습니다. 교회를 더 크게 확보하기 위해 건설하기를 원한다는 것을 필요로 했으므로 충분히 차지했습니다. 건물을 계획하고 있으며, 이미 어느 정도 지어져 있습니다. Di 마을, 그 권한이 제때 미국 목사의 모임이 방해했을 때를 위해 노출되어 있었다면, 그러면 복음은 그들의 adamantine 반대를 깨고 있습니다.

Kimhai city, our oldest country church, has increased much in zeal and numbers, having become clearly the largest country church in South Kyeng Sang Province. Much credit is due to its leader Mr. Pay. He is the great outstanding figure in Kimhai--Golden Sea--County. calling men to the Savior and shepherding them when reached. His labors show strongly in his home church, which has added 17 communicants and 25 catechumenes during the year. It has become necessary to secure a larger church building, so a building has been partially erected, enough to be occupied. Plans for opening a boys' school are also maturing boys school are also maturing the Gospel breaking down their adamantine opposition.

세 번째 해 동안 Milyang 군은 모든 우리 일에서 가장 빠른 성장을 보였습니다. 세 개의 새로운 그룹이 조직되었고, 그 결과 설교의 두 집에서 Mr. Ko와 그의 아내로부터 나온 것입니다 - 그들은 이미 전에 기독교 선포에 충실해왔으므로 이제 그들의 장자이자, 선두에 Whasan 그룹이 있습니다 - 비록 그들은 그들의 시간을 주는 요구에 의해 괴로워하고 있지만 여행 중 Master의 사역을 위해 여러 날 동안 미리 지불하지 않아 Whasan 그룹 중 세 개의 새로운 그룹이 나중에 실제로 회피할 때까지입니다.

For the third year Milyang county has shown the most rapid growth of all in our work. Three new groups have been organized, two the result of preaching in the house of Mr. Ko of Whasan and the third fostered by that family. Now only have Mr. Ko and his wife been faithful as before in proclaiming the Word, but their eldest son, the leader of the Whasan group, has not begrudged his time, giving without pay several days a month in travel for the Master's sake. The three new groups springing up immediately encountered fierce persecution, but perseverence has reacted until in the village of Yusoo there are more Christians than heathen. A young man beaten by his father because he would not give up his new religion lay three days unable to rise, but clinging to his faith brought his father to Christ. And they have come in in such numbers:

Yusoo 마을에서 기독교인들이 이교도들보다 많습니다. 아버지가 새로운 종교를 포기하지 않으려고 해서 해를 입으면 한 젊은 남자가 3일 동안 일어날 수 없을 정도로 맞았지만, 그의 신앙에 매달려 그의 아버지를 그리스도께 이끌었다.

In the village of Yusoo there are more Christians than heathen. A young man beaten by his father because he would not give up his new religion lay three days unable to rise, but clinging to his faith brought his father to Christ.

Yung San 군에서 우리는 두 개의 새로운 그룹을 가지고 있습니다. Twesan 마을의 교회는 우리의 배너 교회이며, 모든 37 사람들이 있습니다 - 지식, 물리적 기술, 기독교 권력을 모두 특징지어집니다. 세 번째 군 Milyang이 보여 준 모든 일 중 가장 빠른 성장. Fusan 성서 수업은 75 마일을 떠나 여덟 명이 나타났으므로 정말로, 그들의 이름을 우리가 기록하고 그들의 수업에 교과서를 제공해야 했습니다 - 얼마나 큰 실제로 깊은 관심이 지적되었습니다!

In Yung San county we have two new groups. The church in the village of Twesan is our banner church, having numbered 37 people all, but its quality is its distinctive feature marked by knowledge, physical skill, and Christian power. Their eight men all came miles to the Men's Bible Class in Fusan in February. A young man has just entered the catechumenate whose change of life is the talk of the town. A few months ago there was not a more inveterate gambler and hither than he: yet must his Jesus doctrine is a good thing, since it has reformed him the villagers say. A new church 'building and a colporter are the fruit of this year's work too; and in other counties two new groups have owed birth, humanely speaking, to this banner church.

길가의 파종

Wayside Sowing

미스 메리 놀즈 저

By Miss Mary Knowles

여행자들이 과부상 여행 중이었고, 오후가 마감되어 가고 있었다. 아름다운 작은 산 시내, 녹색 협곡이 있었고, 그들은 말을 타고 있었다. 비가 내렸고, 어두워졌고, 그들은 숙소에 지쳐 도착했고, 배고팠으며, 추웠다. 그 주인의 아내는 친절하지 않았고, 외국인들을 의심했다. 여인들이 들어왔을 때, 선교사들은 메시지를 공유하려고 시도했다.

The travelers had been seven days out on their overland journey. The afternoon was drawing to a close. A beautiful little mountain stream had been crossed, and as they climbed the hill overlooking it the steep gorge at the green mountain sides, and the quiet glassy water, they had heard to depart from the spot, but the leader said there was no time to spare as twenty days had to be made before night. So the horses were mounted, the chair bearers took the lead, and all were off on a rapid march. It began to rain, dark overtook them, and they reached the inn weary, hungry, cold, and hungry to find any place for a night's rest. The two single ladies were taken to an inn where they said accommodations.

그리고 이것은 한 마리의 착한 늙은 여인이 집 밤 처음으로 그 메시지를 진지하게 들었다. 우리는 그 집과 가장 가까운 colporter를 알려고 노력했다. "설교자 없이 어떻게 들을 것인가?" "설교자 없이 어떻게 설교할까?" 그 colporter는 그 여행자들이 떠날 때 많은 애석의 마음으로 떠났지만 우리는 느꼈고, "당신이 이 씨앗을 뿌렸으니 곡식이 나올 것입니다."

The innkeeper's wife was not very fond of foreigners and of these two who had come to spend the night under her roof she seemed to be especially suspicious, and did not mind giving vent to her views. It is well if one cannot understands a d much of the language under such circumstances, for they will be apt to hear things unpleasant to the ear, and, but for God's grace, hard to bear. A few outlaws women came in and the missionaries tried to give them a message about the Gospel, but the good that might have been done was turned aside by the unkind remarks of their landlady. The men of the house, too, were especially rude. They persisted in peeping through the holes in the paper of the one, and the woman of the house would not make them leave. At last the lights were out, and the missionaries turned to their coats, feeling sad at heart that many who had the opportunity would not for the glad message of salvation. But ere keep came the still, small voice whispered to them of One who ''came unto his own, and his own received Him not,'' and their hearts were comforted.

그것은 편지 받는 사람 옆의 쓰기 마음에 다른 위치에 도착했다, 아주 다른 환영을 받았다. 이 가족은 맹신한 존경했으며, 그 웃는 여인들은 "보라" 그들이 열심히 그 메시지에 귀를 기울였다. 주인은 그 당사자 중 하나에 의해 기독교인 소책자를 제공 받았다. 그는 저녁에 나갔고 부엌 불 옆에 앉아 그것을 읽었고, 그것을 돌려주며 "좋은 말씀"이라고 말했고, 다른 사람을 달라고 요청했다. 그는 나갔고 같은 방식으로 읽었고, 선교사들이 기도한 동안.

There comes to the writer's mind another place at which quite a different welcome was received. The family was blind and respectful, and when the neighboring women came in to have a ''look see'' they listened attentively and some earnestly to the message given. The landlord was given a Christian tract by one of the party. He went out and read it in the same way, while the missionaries prayed as they

들었다 그 목소리의 소리로 그 말씀은 좋은 지면에 뿌려질 수도 있습니다. 그 여자가 있는 곳이 제2차 메시지의 기초를 위해 그리고 그들은 그것을 듣고 있었고, 그 Colporter는 그 여행자들이 떠날 때 많은 마음으로 남겨졌지만 우리는 느꼈고, "당신이 이 씨앗을 뿌렸으니 곡식이 나올 것입니다."

listened to the sound of his voice that the words might be seed sown in good ground. There was a dear old woman in the home that night who can never be forgotten. She was hearing the Gospel message for the first time, but she listened with such earnestness that it was unusal. She seemed to be real anxious to believe, in fact with a little teaching just ready to plunge into the kingdom. Though the travelers were weary in body after a long day's journey, they sat with her after all the others had gone trying to tell her how to believe, for their hearts longed over her that she might understand enough of the truth to really accept the Lord as her Savior. When one of the missionaries told her that she must pray to God for the forgiveness of her sins, the old woman said with such an interested face and in such an earnest tone, ''But Lady how do you pray?'' Poor darkened soul! It was all so new and strange to her. She was in the morning; and the travelers left her with many regrets. They tried to note the house, and tell the nearest colporter, but the old lady did not live there and she may never hear again. There are many darkened souls in this land just like this one who would realize if they could hear how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent ?''

New Hopes in a New Field

목사 W. B. 해리슨의 1905년 9월 개인 보고서

From Personal Report of Rev. W. B. Harrison, September 1905

작년 가을 Kunsan으로 옮기는 것은 어색했다. 불편했다. 물질적으로 불편했다. 왜냐하면 학교 건물이 완성되지 않았고 타일이 뒤틀렸기 때문이다. 병원을 위한 재목은 바닥에 놓여 있었다. 이전 교회 지도자들이 중단 중이었다. 그리고 몇 개의 다른 질문들이 그렇게 발견되어 교회에서 도움을 찾는 것이 불가능했다. 왜냐하면 일부 한국인은 Kunsan에 할당된 영토 재할당으로 인해 불만족했기 때문이다. 그들은 그 과정에서 속한다고 생각했고, 그들은 Chun ji에 할당되었다고 생각했다. 특히 학교 소년들은 영어 설교에서 제외되었다고 불평했다. 교회는 불가능해 보였다 왜냐하면 일부 한국인이 영토 재할당으로 인해 불만족했기 때문이다.

Awkward was the situation when I moved to Kunsan last fall--awkward in things material--awkward in things material because the school house was not finished and the bricks to finish it could not be gotten till, nearly Christmas, and then were forgotten till. There were under suspension and several other question-ed so that to find help in church was next to impossible; because some of the Koreans were dissatisfied at territory reassignment because some of the Koreans were dissatisfied at territory reassignment because some of the Koreans were dissatisfied at territory reassignment formly belonging to Kunsan being assigned to Chun Jn ; because some of the school-boys were complaining at English being excluded from the course ; because the p-osition accorded to some of the Koreans did not seem to me to be good for them ; and especially because I did not know the Koreans about me and was at a loss to know how to direct affairs. But one by one the difficulties disappeared or were removed, so that the year has been a pleasant and profitable one.

지역 교회는 꽤 잘 해냈다. 일요일 학교는 조직되었고, 서비스는 개선되었다. 옛날 Mr. Kim, 과거 사악함의 주인, 변환되었다. 그의 아내는 그를 집에서 쫓아냈다는 기독교에 대한 그의 고백에 대해 주의했다. 며칠이 지나서 흔들림을 한 후, 그의 아내는 그를 다시 받아들였다.

The local church has done fairly well. The Sunday-school organized, services improved. Old Mr. Kim--past master in wickedness, converted. His wife, jealous of his new Christian zeal, gave him an ultimatum about going to church. After a few weeks of knocking around, she allowed him back.

Mangasan 세례 실망. 그런데 일요일 학교가 부활했고, 두 개의 큰 가족이 참석자가 되었다. Mr. Chai--장로선거된.

Mangasan baptism disappointment. Then the Sunday school revived, two large families became attendants. Mr. Chai--elder-elect.

Kungmal, Namcham-moon, Chan-pyeng-nee 그룹들. Konggai 시장 마을--35명의 젊은 남자들이 한 몸으로 뭉쳐 있다. Kim O Kyei--Keum과 Chunju 사이의 강 사이의 도우미.

Kungmal, Namcham-moon, Chan-pyeng-nee groups. Konggai market town--35 young men banding together in a body. Kim O Kyei--helper between Keum and Chunju rivers.

새로운 영변 도시 선교소가 개설되었음을 감사함으로 알립니다. 우리는 수년간 여기에서 일해 왔지만, 1903년 가을까지 건축에 적합한 부동산을 확보할 수 없었습니다. 지난해 목재를 구입했고 올봄에 집을 짓기 시작했습니다. 10월에 모리스 부인과 저는 영변의 주민이 되었습니다. 우리는 유일한 외국인이므로 매우 외롭습니다.

2-3주간의 여행을 통해 교회들을 순회했습니다. 방금 먼 북쪽에서 돌아왔으며, 매우 격려적인 상황을 보았습니다. 사람들은 교육의 필요성을 깨닫고 있습니다. 큰 어려움이 있습니다 - 수요를 충족시킬 인재가 없습니다.

지역 학교에 교사를 공급하기 위해 활발한 조치가 필요합니다. 옛 한국은 사라졌습니다. 우리는 고등학교가 완성될 때까지 기다릴 수 없습니다. 정상 수업과 기타 부분적 교육 수단을 통해야 합니다.

북부에서 이것은 가장 중요한 문제입니다. 나는 영변 도시에 강한 중심지를 세우기를 원합니다. 청년들이 이름을 올리고 있으며, 전망이 좋습니다. 안정적인 영적 교회이며 광대한 영향력을 가진 교회가 되도록 기도해 주십시오.

It is with grateful hearts that we can at last say that the New station in Veng Byen city has been opened. Although we have worked here for several years and looked forward to building a home it was not until the fall of 1903 that we were able to secure property suitable for build-ing purposes. Last year lumber was pur-chased and this spring our home was commenced. In the early part of Oc-tober Mrs. Morris and myself were able to leave Vyang Yang and become res-idents of Veng Byen. We are the only foreigners here and consequently the work is lonely, but it is in the centre of our work, and a trip of between two and three weeks among our churches means as much to the work as one of over a month did formerly when we had to travel from Vyang Yang.

We have just returned from a trip to the far north and saw much to encourage us in the progress of the work. The people are awakening to the great need of education and are demanding teachers who can teach something besides the Chinese classes. They will in some cases pay the entire salary of a teacher if a suitable one can be found ; but here is the great difficulty--we have not men to supply the demand, and it is imperative that vigorous steps be taken to supply our country districts with teachers who are at least partially trained. The old Korea has passed away and the people now realize that the old fashioned school be-longed to the old conditions and that its day has also gone. We cannot wait un-til our higher schools can turn out a suffi-cient number of thoroughly trained men to supply the demand. When that time comes there will be a demand for many more than can be secured, and in the meanwhile normal classes and other means must be employed to give a partial training to meet this crisis. In the north this is one of our most important problems. We are very desirous of building up a strong centre in Veng Byen city. A large number of young men are giving in their names and the outlook is hopeful. We earnestly pray that we may have such a stable spiritual church here as will have a mighty influence on the large district of which Veng Byen city is the centre.

The first District Conferences of the East Kyung-keui, West Kyung-keui, and Cheung-chung Do Districts convened in Chemulpo Oct. 15. A large number of local preachers, exhorters, and class lead-ers were present from the two districts represented and all enjoyed a most pro-fitable and interesting session. In the absence of Bishop Harris, the Superin-tendent, Dr. W. B. Scranton, was chair-man of the Conference.

The Conference continued in session for a period of six days, the morning sessions being given up to the instruction and examinations of local preachers and exhorters in their respective courses of study. In the afternoon sessions, the reg-ular business of the Conference, and subjects relating to the present situation and interests of the church were heartily entered into and carefully discussed by those present. This being the first offi-cial body since the organization of the Korea Mission Conference in which Koreans were represented it was a joy to us to see the interest manifested by the brethren and to note that they realized that the responsibility and welfare of the church in a large degree devolved upon them.

Seven of the local preachers were re-commended for admission into the Mis-sion Conference providing they meet the required qualifications. The evening sessions were devoted entirely to evangel-istic services conducted by the Rev. J R. Moose of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

This was the beginning of what we hope will be one of the most helpful and useful functions of the church.

At the meeting of the General Council in September a resolution, providing for a simultaneous revival movement in the church throughout Korea, was passed. The committee charged with the prelimi-naries have suggested the Korean New Year as the time for such meetings. It seems strikingly providential, in view of recent developments, that the Christian body in Korea will unite in waiting upon God at this time. Perhaps, as never be-fore in the history of the church in Korea, there is used for a manifestation of the power of God. The gospel has met with a cordial response as it has been preach-ed here and the Church has steadily in-creased in numbers. A crisis has been reached. The political situation brings the entire people to a state of unrest. The hope of the nation and the individ-uals that compose it lies not in agitation and discussion, but in God. The way to combat the unrest in the Church is to

stress the hope that the Gospel offers. A living faith begets the hope that enables men to 'reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed.' More than this, though, the church needs to be grounded in the faith in or-der to stand the fires through which she may have to pass. Times of trial and chastening are either helpful or hurtful according to whether or not we are 'exercised thereby.' Our ability to stand these testings is dependent upon our knowledge of God and of the way to draw upon his tendered grace. The revival which brings the church to a living knowledge of God will prepare the way for God's providential dealings to effect the chastening and strengthening which the newlv united church needs.

The revival which gives the Church the power to witness the saving grace, and power of God in life things needed to reach the greatest number of people yet unreached in this land and who now, in their darkness do not know to turn.

The present time furnishes a wonderful opportunity for evangelization; but be-fore it can be effectually done there must be a regenerated and Spirit-filled Church to tell the story with power and to live in the power of which they speak.

To the Missionaries in Korea:-

The undersigned, having been con-stituted a committee by the 'General Council' to suggest a time for holding a simultaneous revival throughout the church in Korea and to communicate with the various mission stations in regard to same, have decided that the Korean New Year season offers the most favorable opportunity for such effort.

In order that there may be real con-cert in prayer and action, this meeting of the main elements of power, the following suggestions are respectfully offered:-

1. That as far as possible, during the revival season, the entire missionary body withdraw from literary work, country itineration and other time but bearing directly on the work in hand, so that the entire thought, prayer, and effort may be directed to this one supreme end. Satan will tremble in seeing such a concert of purpose and action on our part.

2. That the first aim be a spiritual. work within the Church, rather than the enrollment of new names. Let the work first be deep, and broadly will naturally follow.

3. It is presumed that these New Year meetings will be held in the stations or larger centers and that there will be an attendance on the part of the helpers and class-leaders. If they be conducted a study classes, let the subjects chosen be such as to lead them to the head. The doctrines of sin, repentence, confession, forgiveness and of precious salvation can thus presented and the church members be through to know whether or not they possess the priceless gift.

4. Following the work in the centers let there meetings arranged so that the churches in the villages that be reached and their manner. A schedule might be arranged to cover the out-field and work of such meetings assigned the power of the central meetings assigned to work in the villages, the missionaries leading and taking part as they can. Nothing is more couragous than re-vival zeal and power and we believe that under the blessing of God our whole mission field can be touched and quick-ened in the months just ahead us.

A church with a sure and living testi-mony as to God's saving power will be the quickest and best means of reaching the unevangelized of this land. Shall we not truly dedicate ourselves to this work and thus furnish the opportunity for God to manifest His glorious, saving power?

Yours in His service,

By Mrs. J. R. Moose

One of our Christians came into my home some time ago and sitting by me told me the story of her life. 'It is truly pictures woman's life in heathen lands then I give it for the benefit of others. She said; 'My parents were at the time of the great persecution of Roman Catholicism and they witnessed much of the awful slaughter of human-life. At about seven-teen years of age I was married to a boy of thirteen years. It is all a matter I had nothing to say, in fact I never saw my husband until after we were married. My parents would have liked to have arranged it they had failed to marry me to some one and the parents of my husband wanted a wife for their son, so the trade was made. I was just like a servant in the home of my father-in-law, and when my husband came in sight I often cried, for he did not love me much and I did not know how to love him at all. After a few years two sons came to our home. We loved these boys, but we were not happy. When I was eleven one my husband took unto himself a concubine, and life became more miserable. I was often beaten and in many ways badly treated until I felt that I could endure it no longer.

'In the mean time my parents had moved about one hundred miles away. I had no money save three cash which I tied in my apron string ; then taking my baby on my back and my other child by the hand I started to my father's home. I begged my food little by little on the way ; soon my straw shoes were worn out, then; my stockings ; and for a long distance blood stained the path I left behind me. I had many streams to cross and some of them were waist deep ; as there were no bridges I carried one child over on my back and then very hurried-ly went for the other, which performance gave me much anxiety lest the child left alone should attempt to follow me into the stream. After eleven days of such traveling I arrived at my father's home one night only to find that mother had been dead five months. Fathers was living with my brother whose wife was also dead. A concubine kept house, and as she wished to drive me away my children away we were there only one month. I decided to go to my sister who lived about fifty miles away. Before I went father gave me some cotton which I spun into sewing thread and thus obtained my way. Life here was little better, for my brother-in-law did not want me and my sister overlooked him plotting to sell me. I must leave there, so after five months I was again on my way to my father's house. He gave me some of mother's old clothes, and selling these I bought needles, dyes and other materials and went to a far village to earn a living as best I could.

'After obtaining a little house I did all kinds of work for a livelihood; but after four years living was so difficult that I decided to come up to Seoul. Here it was little better, but with what help from my older boy we managed to get food enough to keep soul and body together. Our clothing was scant and the children cried for new clothes to wear on New Year's day. All other children whose parents could possibly afford it had new clothes on New Year, and as my little one saw no hope of such enjoyment they pled to go back to their father, who was able to supply them with abundant clothing. After much pleading I yielded, bade my two little boys good-bye, and expected them to return to me after a few months. The weeks and months sped by, but no news came from my boys.

'Later I became very ill and was or-dered out of my house ; I wept day and night and was on the verge of starvation. A friend advised me to become the wife of another man who was dying and having no one to bury me. I told my friend that no one would marry such a dirty and sick person as I was, but he said if you will wash your face, powder well, and put on new clothes, I know a Chinaman who will take you.' The agreement was made, and I went to the home of this Chinasman, who was a trader. After about two months he waved to go back to China to see his parents and said that I must go with him. I was afraid to go, and pleading he was determined to carry me and promised to bring me back after a few months. After seven months in China my hus' and suddenly went away, leaving me in the home of his parents. And now my days grew darker; I was unable to speak the language, without aid and friendless, for my mother-in law proved to be a severe taskmaster. From early morn till night I served the place of a horse in a common wheat mill, and received only two scant meals a day. Although my feet and legs were bad-ly swollen from the constant tramping to turn the mill, at night I was nevertheless compelled to spin and earn my clothes with which I protected my own body. The months grew into years and there seemed no chance for deliverance. At night when my work was all done many times I went out into the darkness and prayed to the maker of all things--who

this was I did not know--to send me back to my native land.

'Six years passed by and I found in my purse two dollars and twenty-five cents which I had made over and above my clothing by spinning at night. My mother-in-law knew nothing of this and I dare not tell her, for I had resolved to come back to my own land. When I asked her permission one day she flatly was a heating ; so one night I ran away and came eight miles to the nearest port, where by the providence of God I found a boat soon sailing and a Korean gentle-man also on his way back to Korea. He kindly helped me. Two dollars eighty five cents my food. I went on the boat happily beyond expression, and when we arrived at Chemulpo I walked twenty-six miles the next day to Seoul. On that day I fell in company with a man of learning and of my homeless condition of-fered to let me stay in his home until I could make some arrangements for my-self, Life being very hard I was again advised to marry a widower, who offered to take me this time. I considered it matter a good while, for twice I had certainly I tied the bitter of married life-- could I risk it again? Well I did and soon again repented, for my third hus-band had no work and drank a great deal of wine.

'One day as was my custom I took the family clothing to a stream to wash, and there as I sat over my work I heard for the first time of the blood of Jesus which washes the stains from out hearts. It was a Korean Christian who told me of his my doctrine, and wanting to hear more I went with her on the next Sun-day to the church of which she was a member. Later I went to another church which was not far away, bought a cate-chism and attempted to read it in my home ; but my step-son tore it into pieces and burnt it. He and my husband said if I became a Christian I could no longer

live in their home, but if I would let Christianity alone it would be all right. Soon after this I met at the well one day a Christ a woman who gave me a little bo-ok, and then I became a regular at-tendant at her church and resolved to become a real Christian. M. husband said 'if you go with those foreigners they will pull out your eyes and kill you,' at which I hesitated a bit ; but when New Year came I refused to worship according to heathen custom. This act sent me from my home and away from my third husband. I found refuge here and there; God has forgiven my sins and given me all the temporal blessings I need. About a year ago my first husband wrote me that my baby boy was dead. My other son is a man, yet he is now nothing of the Gospel ; so one of my greatest desires is to see him and tell him of God's love and salvation.

The church of God becomes strong in piety, character, and personal fellowship with Christ its Head only as it realizes in its individual experience the touch of the divine life. The power of Christ to trans-form, regenerate, to give a new zeal and zest to life should be a matter of personal testimony with every member of the church militant. One of the most effec-tive ways by which these results can be obtained is the revival. The revival of genuine conviction for sin, deep repent-ance and complete surrender to the power of God. Last year the fires of a deep and lasting revival were kept burning in parts of the Korean church with results that abide.

The missionaries working Korea have decided to set aside the Chinese New Year's season of the coming year for es-pecial revival work among the churches. They feel that it is one thing to gather into the churches and another thing to lead those gathered to a personal Savior. Korea's people are believing Christ in great numbers during these transition days and we missionaries feel that they should have a type of religion that goes to the bottom of heart and life and by simplicity and power makes a new man. We must have the 'new man' experience in the Korean church. We have had it, we are having it, and more than ever must it be the battle cry of the coming year. The Korean probationer or catcchu-men may learn every question and answer in the 'Shorter Catechism' and the 'Baptismal Catechism,' and many of them do, and yet fail to get the idea of a personal Christ--a Redeemer from sins. We ask the prayers of the church at home for us in this effort for the Korean church, which is growing rapidly. We must have a church founded upon Christ and His righteousness and nothing less. Lend us of your prayers in this time of general revival that Christ may form Himself within the heart of many a weak, halting disciple, and thereby give a faith, a hope, and a courage which will tell for good in the church-of the coming years. Korea for Christ and Christ-for Korea! This is what we shall have in the revival of fire from Above.

여러분 모두, 우리를 잘 모르시는 분들을 제외하고, 이 주제에 대해 얼마나 많이 아시는지 느껴봅시다. 저는 개인적 경험에서 나온 것이므로 여러분에게 전해주는 것이 좋습니다. 가끔 우리는 심지어 우리의 아주 작은 속삭임도 들려집니다. 지금도 그런 것처럼 때로는 우리도 더 큰 역할을 하는 것처럼 생각합니다.

가끔 우리는 더 큰 역할을 하는 것보다 더 먼 도달의 노력을 하는 것처럼 생각합니다.

여러분 모두 이 주제에 대해 많이 알고 계신 것 같습니다. 작은 전도소에서 기울인 노력은 더 먼 거리에까지 영향을 미칩니다. 선교사 가정의 영향력은 멀리 퍼져 나갑니다. 시골 모임에서는 독신 여성들도 선교사 가정에서 일어난 일들에 대해 들었습니다. 자녀들의 양육은 한국인들에게 깊은 인상을 줍니다.

우리 중 일부는 우리의 영역이 너무 제한적이라고 느끼고, 가정일이 우리를 방해한다고 생각합니다. 하지만 우리는 본보기를 통해 한국 어머니들을 돕고 있습니다. 한 시인은 사탕을 거부한 아이에 대해 말했는데, 그 아이의 양육이 존경받았습니다. Miss Samuels는 어떤 작은 목사의 딸이 벽장에 갇혔던 일을 들었습니다. 가정과 자녀들을 통해 여성들에게 다가가는 방법은 많습니다.

가정에서 개인적으로 방문하는 것의 가치는 측량할 수 없습니다. 가정의 내면의 삶을 들여다볼 수 있기 때문입니다. 아이를 낳을 때의 힘든 일과 말할 수 없는 조건들은 많은 아기들이 어린 시절에 죽게 합니다. 한국 자매들은 용감합니다. 우리의 최대 소망은 여성들을 최고의 참된 방법으로 돕는 것입니다.

첫째, 그들이 이해할 수 있는 복음을 제시하세요. 둘째, 그들의 마음을 그리스도에게 얻으세요. 셋째, 그들을 더 나은 아내와 어머니가 되도록 가르치세요. 가정들이 얼마나 더러운지, 아이들이 얼마나 헐벗었는지 보세요. 한국 여성들이 자신과 가정을 위해 옳은 일을 하도록 원하신다면 목사의 아내들을 찾아가세요.

결연을 가지고, 부드러움으로, 그리고 확고함으로 가세요. 한국 여성들의 건강에 대해 말해주세요. 많은 여성들이 서른 살에 몸이 약합니다. 어떤 여인이 말했습니다. '내 자녀들이 와서 하나씩 나가갑니다. 이것이 내 열 번째 아이인데, 나는 살아 있는 아이가 하나뿐입니다.'

남편들을 가르치는 것이 중요합니다. 목사의 아내들이 남편들이 아내를 돌보도록 가르치는 것을 도와야 합니다. 지난 겨울 우리 모임에서 Mr. Lee는 700명의 남성들에게 감동적인 조언을 했습니다. Dr. Sharrock의 여성을 위한 전단지. 남편에게 하는 말씀이 설득보다 훨씬 더 먼 거리에 미칩니다.

가족 관계를 알고 가정에 들어가세요. 이것은 눈에 띄는 사역이 아닐 수도 있지만 여성들을 이기는 사역입니다. 착한 마음을 가진 여성을 데려가세요. 사역은 주로 이미 교회에 끌려 온 여성들 사이에서 이루어집니다. Mrs. Kearns'의 별들 - 대면하는 가로질러 있던 아픈 여인을 방문합니다. 기도, 우유, 감사.

그 여인이 마시면서 코를 막더군요! 교회에 나왔고, 폐병이 그녀를 앗아갔고, 그녀는 승리로운 죽음을 맞이했습니다. 아기들이 예배에 오는 것에 대해 - 때때로 해롭기도 합니다. 아기들을 집에 두고 오라고 공개적으로 발표하기를 감행하지 않았습니다. 어머니가 올 때 아기를 집에 두고 온 것을 칭찬해주세요. 아기들을 집에 두고 오는 것이 유행이 되기를 바랍니다.

All of you know much about this subject, so I feel what I bring to you must come out of my personal knowledge and experience. In a little station, I think, the efforts put forth are farther reaching than those of larger stations. Sometimes we think even our very whispers are heard. Certain it is that the influence of the missionary home spreads far and wide. In the country classes our single women have heard of things which have occurred in our homes, which we dreamed were known outside those walls.

What especially impresses the Koreans is the training of children. Some of us may feel our sphere is too limited, our home cares hamper us. We are tied too closely to the hearthstone and cannot do the so-called missionary work which is so inviting and which we dreamed of before the general uprising, generally in the form of precious bundles of love and helplessness. But, sisters, we must not feel so, for we are helping these Korean mothers by example more than we can tell. In a crowded news class, the Elder Nyang told of one of the children of a missionary home refusing a piece of candy offered by a Korean boy; a girl he had asked his mother if he might accept it. The elder appreciated so keenly the training that had gone before the child's refusal that he added, "That is how I want my children trained." Miss Samuels, in one of her country classes, heard one woman using as an illustration how a small daughter of the moksa was exiled to a closet until she had "eaten a repenting mind," when she was brought forth and restored to favor. Oh, there are many ways of reaching these women through our homes and children!

The value of a personal call in a home is inestimable. Personally I know of no better way to win the women. Later, when we meet, we feel we have something in common. We have gotten an insight into the life of the home and often are overcome with the longing to help these, our sisters, in their hard unhealthful lives. When I think of their hardships and trials and joyless days and the cheerful way they bear them, my heart goes out in a pity skin to pain. The hard work and the unspeakable conditions of child-bearing, a word of appreciation unknown, so many of the babies dying in infancy, the hot day's weeding in the fields--how could we hear it? 'Oh, but these Korean sisters are brave! What a grand privilege is ours to see them at the services with faces shining with God's own peace! How it lightens their heavy burdens!'

Our greatest desire is to help the women in the best and truest way, and how can we do so? First, present the Gospel in a way which they can understand and accept. Win their hearts for Christ. But, hand in hand with this, we need to teach them how to be better wives and mothers and housekeepers. It is a broad field. How dirty are the homes, the naked children, and how little the mothers know how to care for their own bodies!

If you want the Korean women to do what is for their own and their families' best good, go to the moksas. Go to them with determination in your eye, gentleness in your tone, but withal firmness, and tell them some of the things you have learned about Korean women, how many of them are invalids at thirty and what awful things they do to cure themselves, how essential it is for these mothers to have better care during critical times, if a strong nation is to be built up. One woman said to me "My children come and are carried out one by one. This will be my tenth child, and I have but one living." It was too true, and we have found many others with similar experiences. Tell how useless it has proven to talk to the women, and that the only way to bring them to a realization of the importance of this teaching is for their husbands to insist on their taking better care of themselves where the need arises. The moksas must help us in this and teach the men to care for their wives. A word from the moksa goes a very long way with the men.

At our class last winter Mr. Lee gave stirring advice to the seven hundred men gathered, much of it along this line. Dr. Sharrock's little leaflet might seem from the title to be written for women, but it will prove effective and the men will take it up and see that their wives adhere to it. It was written in fact in an answer to many questions from the men as to how to care for their wives, for these men as they become Christians desire earnestly to be better husbands and fathers. A word to the husband goes farther in getting a woman to learn to read than all the coaxing you may personally give her or all the Bible women you may send after her. And when a man is teaching his wife to read, other lessons are being gained--lessons in comradeship, helpfulness, etc., hitherto unknown and thought of.

To do the best work it will be very helpful to us to know family relations, and it is hard to do this without going into the homes. This may not be the work that shows, but it is the work that tells, for it wins the women, and that is what we most desire. If as yet, you know but a few words, take a kind-hearted woman with you and do your best. Your very presence will work out good. If a woman from your household, she will see that the one you visit hears good things of how to care for her home and babies.

Our work lies largely with women already drawn into the church; but sometimes the call comes from those outside. I would like to speak of a woman whom I always designate as "one of Mrs. Kearns' stars." As Mrs. Kearns was visiting one day she was told of a woman across the street who was ill--a heathen woman. Mrs. Kearns went over and found her with her new baby. They had prayer before leaving and the women expressed her appreciation of the visit. Mrs. Kearns sent her some milk, which by the way she conscientiously drank, holding her nose! As soon as she was able she came to church, but consumption had hold of her and six months later she died a triumphant death in Christ. Near the end she begged of doctor, "Oh, give me life! I know to little of Jesus, and I long to learn more." But certainly she had had a saving knowledge, and now the whole family watched to take her soul took it flight.

There is one other thing I fain would mention, and that is about the babies coming to the services. In our crowded gatherings they sometimes prove a detriment. On sunny Sabbaths I have seen a dozen mothers in the courtyard with their babies--all having a real good time regardless of their need of the "good words" being spoken inside. We have not ventured to openly announce that all mothers should leave babies at home; but when a mother does so we seek her out and embrace the unusual opportunity by commending her on leaving her baby with the one who watches the house (for there always is one left to watch the house) and thus giving herself a chance to study God's Word with an untrammelled mind. Thus encouraging them, in time we hope it may become the fashion to leave the babies at home and give the mothers one more opportunity to learn.

필자는 원산 회로의 분기 정례회를 열기 위해 내륙 마을로 가는 길이었습니다. 한 관리 회원이 회상하면서 지나가고 있었습니다. 감사와 찬양으로 가득 찬 기억들이었습니다. 어린 시절에 높은 산에서 나무를 구해 원산으로 등에 지고 들어가야 했습니다. 춥고, 바람이 많이 불고, 가장 큰 어려움이 있었습니다.

가족이 너무 가난해서 먹을 것도, 입을 것도 충분하지 않았습니다. 아버지가 술을 많이 마셔서 아내와 자녀들을 학대했습니다. '이러한 때들을 우리의 현재 가정 상황과 비교할 때, 나는 이미 천국에 가 있다고 느낍니다'라고 그는 말했습니다.

그가 기독교인이 된 후, 아버지는 개선되기 시작했습니다. 아버지는 여전히 어머니에게 매우 무심했고, 하인일을 하기에는 너무 자존심이 강했습니다. 하지만 나중에 그의 아버지도 기독교인이 되었고, 어머니도 믿게 되었습니다. 아버지는 조금도 술을 마시지 않고, 어머니에게 친절합니다.

그의 어린 형은 일요일에 일하기를 거부하고 더 작은 급여로 자리를 받았습니다. 이러한 복음이 가져온 변화에 대한 진술들은 특히 흥미로웠습니다. 그 젊은 남자가 부모를 위해 진지하게 기도했었다는 것은 특별합니다. 지속적이고 진심 어린 기도가 응답되었습니다.

English Original

The writer was en route to an interior village to hold the Quarterly Conference for the Wonsan Circuit. One of the official members, making the same journey, became reminiscent in passing along a certain part of the road. These memories produced such feelings of gratitude that he felt disposed to give praise by telling his pastor of his gratitude to God for what He had done for his home.

When a boy, he said, he had had to get wood from the high hills off to our left and carry it upon his back into Wonsan. Often, when it was cold or windy, it was with the greatest difficulty of suffering that he could do this work. His family was so poor that they could not get enough to eat or wear. His father was drunk a great deal of the time and by his mistreatment of his wife and children made their home still more unhappy was produced by the poverty and want. Then, he said further, "When I compare those times with our present home situation, I feel that I have already gone to heaven."

After the time spoken of .he became a Christian and things began to improve. Still, for a long time, his father did not get drunk either than once in a month he considered that they were very fortunate. His Father was still very inconsiderate of his mother and too proud to do any work that was considered menial. But later (and his face fairly beamed with joy as he spoke) his father became a Christian and his mother also believed with him, and now the father does not drink even a little and is kind to the mother. He is also humbled, working uncomplainingly to the limit of his strength. He also spoke of his younger brother who had accepted a position for a smaller salary than he could have gotten, but for his refusal to work on Sunday.

These statements concerning the change the Gospel had wrought in his home were especially interesting in view of the way this young man used to pray for his parents before their conversion. His earnestness was such that he would pour out his desire to the Lord before the whole congregation as though he was praying alone. We often felt that such prayers must rock the throne, and this present statement is but another proof of how our God works in answer to persistent, earnest prayer.

가장 고무적인 특징은 충청도의 완곡에 있는 그룹입니다. 올해 새로 추가된 곳이지만, 6년에서 7년 전부터 많은 기독교인들이 있었습니다. 최근에 멋진 새 교회 건물을 지었습니다. 그들의 열정과 노력은 정말 감탄할 만합니다. 할 수 있는 사람들은 아낌없이 헌금했고, 할 수 없는 사람들은 와서 열심히 일했습니다.

7월에 세례를 받으려는 신청자 51명을 시험했습니다. 그 지역에 출석하는 사람들 중 약 절반에 불과합니다. 그 마을에 살던 양반 아내였습니다. 어느 날 '구경하러' 교회에 나왔습니다. 여자 쪽 문 밖에 섰다가 관심을 갖게 되어 다음 주일에 다시 나왔고 자리에 앉았습니다. 남편의 금지에도 불구하고 기독교인이 되기로 결심했습니다.

남편은 양반 자존심이 강해서 자신을 떠나야 한다고 협박했습니다. 그녀는 신앙보다 집을 포기하기로 결심했습니다. 기독교인들이 그녀에게 사택과 연결된 방을 주었습니다. 그들이 그녀를 위해 음식을 가져왔습니다. 남편이 결국 항복했고, 그녀가 돌아올 수 있게 했습니다. 하지만 남편이 기독교인이 될 것으로 기대하지 말라고 했습니다. 항상 교회에서 제 자리에 있고, 매우 행복합니다.

One of the most encouraging features of the work connected with our station is the group at Wankol in Chung Cheng Do. This is a new place added this year, though many of the Christians there are of six and seven years' standing. They have recently built a nice new church, and their zeal and labors have been most admirable. Those who could contributed liberally of their means, and those who could not contribute financially came and gave days of hard work in erecting the building and preparing the site, which was cut out of the side of a hill.

In July we examined fifty-one applicants for baptism. This is only about half of those who attend there. One of those examined was the wife of a yangban who lived in that village. She came up to the church one day for "sight seeing" and stood outside of the door on the women's side. She became interested in what she heard and came back the next Sunday and came in and took a seat. She decided to become a Christian in spite of her husband's positive prohibition. He was full of yangban pride and told her, if she wanted to be a Christian, she would have to leave his house. Though she had no place to go, she decided that she would rather give up her home than her new found faith, so left. The Christians gave her a little room connected with the house in which the sexton of the church lives, and also, as they were able, brought provisions for her. Her husband, impressed by her earnestness and the kindness of the Christians, finally relented and told her that she could come back home, but that she need not expect him to become a Christian. This woman is, always in her place at church and seems quite happy in her religion.

강화 도시의 소년 주간 학교는 한국의 가장 큰 학교 중 하나입니다. 약 1년 전에 한국 군대의 전직 장군인 Mr. Yi 아래에서 조직되었습니다. Mr. Yi의 개종 이후로, 소년들의 교육이 그의 마음의 중심입니다. 도시의 여러 소년 학교들을 200명 이상의 소년들이 있는 하나의 큰 중앙 학교로 통합했습니다.

공식적인 영향력을 통해, 정부로부터 월 200달러 한화를 확보했습니다. 학교는 이전에 이교도 사원이었던 건물에 있습니다. 외국식 책상으로 개조되었습니다. 이전에 승려들의 낭송이 있던 곳에서 지금은 고전과 과학을 낭독합니다. 거의 모든 소년들이 머리를 자르고 복장의 일관성을 시도합니다.

학습 과목: 중국 고전, 한국 문자, 일본어, 영어, 산술, 역사, 지리, 초등 과학, 웅변술. 선생님은 6명입니다: 4명은 중국 고전, 나머지 2명은 남은 과목들을 가르칩니다. 매일: 오후 시간 후에 1시간의 군사 훈련. 대부분의 선생님들은 진지한 기독교인입니다.

소년들은 기독교인이 되고 싶다는 희망을 표현합니다. 마지막 방문 이후로, 9명의 소년이 문의자로 등록했습니다. 여러 마을에서 분교가 시작되었습니다. 한국이 청소년 교육의 필요성을 깨우치고 있습니다.

English Original

The boys' day school at Kang Wha city is one of the largest day schools in Korea. It was organized about a year ago under Mr. Yi, a former general in the Korean army. Since Mr. Yi's conversion, he has had the education of the boys at heart and has been the means of uniting the several boys' schools in the city into one large central school with over two hundred boys in attendance. Through Mr. Yi's official influence he has been able to secure the sum of two hundred dollars Korean currency per month from the government for the support of this school.

The school is held in what was formerly a heathen temple. It has been remodeled and fitted up in proper school room style with foreign desks. Where before was heard the chants of priests there is now heard the reciting of classics and sciences. Thus a change from the old to the new and a step forward in the right direction. Nearly all of the boys here cut their hair and do as far as possible try to have a uniformity in their dress.

The following are the studies pursued: Chinese classics, Korean script, Japanese, English, Arithmetic, History of Korea, Geography of Korea, elementary science and oratory. Six teachers are employed, four teaching the Chinese classics and the other two remaining subjects. Every day, at the close of the afternoon session, they spend an hour in military drill. By this their bodies are developed as well as their minds. Most of the teachers are earnest Christians, so that the boys are all under Christian influences. Not all the boys as yet are Christians, but from time to time these express their desire to become such and, since our last visit there, nine boys have enrolled as inquirers.

Branch schools have also been started in several villages near by, but are all under the control of the city school. Korea is gradually awakening to the fact that she cannot advance unless her youth is educated, and is thus taking steps toward this end.

11월 14일 평양의 감리교 여성 성경 학원이 시작되었습니다. 정확히 일본 군대가 왔다는 소식이 나갔을 때였습니다. 그것이 거짓 소문이었지만, 많은 여성들이 오기에는 너무 늦었습니다. 지난 해는 힘들었고, 많은 여성들이 겨우 몇 푼도 모을 수 없었습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 좋은 수업과 좋은 참석이 있었습니다.

세 개의 부서가 있었고, 다음과 같은 학습이 진행되었습니다: 누가복음 강의... Dr. Pak, 보건... Dr. Pak(계속), 그리스도의 생애... Mrs. Moore, 야고보서 강의... Miss Robbins, 성경 역사 개요... Mrs. Follwell, 감리교 요리문답... Mrs. Sadie Kim, 교회사, 특별 요리문답과 구약 이야기... Mrs. Noble.

Mrs. Becker는 매일 친절하게 수업을 도와주었습니다. 미국 여성들이 준 사교 모임이 매우 즐거웠습니다. 한 여성이 즐기고 있는지를 물었을 때, 이렇게 답했습니다: '즐기고 있습니다! 그것이 내가 기대한 것이고 그것이 내가 온 이유입니다. 물론 나는 여기에 있는 매 순간을 즐깁니다.'

이번 달: 휴가에서 돌아온 사역자들: Miss Best와 Miss Wambold(장로교 선교부), Miss Josephine Paine(감리교 선교부), Dr. Hardie와 가족, Mrs. C. T. Collyer와 어린 아들, Rev. C. G. Hounshell(남부 감리교 선교부).

Miss Best는 북쪽의 사역으로 돌아갔습니다. Miss Wambold는 서울에 있습니다. Miss Paine은 서울의 감리교 여학교를 관리합니다. Dr. Hardie는 원산으로 돌아갔습니다. Mrs. Collyer는 송도로 가요. Mr. Hounshell은 서울의 새 연합 남학교로 갑니다. Dr. C. C. Vinton은 12월 20일 미국으로 떠나 제안된 연합 출판사를 시작합니다.

November 14th began the Woman's Bible Institute of the M. E. Church in Pyeng Yang. It was just at the time when word had gone out all through the north that the Japanese soldiers were coming by thousands through Pyeng Yang on their way home from the war. It proved to be false report, but too late for many of the women to prepare to come in. Then again, the year has been a hard one for the people, and from many places word came that the women had been unable to lay by even a few cash, let alone enough to cover their expenses coming and going.

Nevertheless we had a fine class with a good attendance. There were three divisions, and the studies taught were as follows: Lessons in Luke and ... ... Dr. Pak, Hygiene ... ... Dr. Pak (continued), Life of Christ ... ... Mrs. Moore, Lessons in James ... ... Miss Robbins, Outlines of Bible History ... ... Mrs. Follwell, Methodist Catechism ... Mrs. Sadie Kim, Church History, Special Catechism and Old Testament Stories ... Mrs. Noble.

Mrs. Becker each day kindly favored the classes with a solo. The social given by the American ladies at the close was greatly enjoyed by all. We asked one woman whether she was enjoying the institute, and she said: "Enjoy it! That's what I expected and that's what I came for. Of course I enjoy every minute that I am here."

This month has seen the return of the following number of our workers who have been in the home land on furlough. Miss Best has returned to her work in the North; Miss Wambold will be located in Seoul as formerly; Miss Josephine Paine of the M. E. Mission again takes charge of the Methodist Girls' School in Seoul; Dr. Hardie and family have returned to their former home in Won San, Mrs. C. T. Collyer and little son to Songdo and Rev. C. G. Hounshell (of the Southern Methodist Mission) in the new Union Boys' School in Seoul.

Dr. C. C. Vinton started for America Dec. 20 in the interest of the proposed Union Publishing House.

4월 3일에서 5월 3일까지 삭주와 동부 의주 회로를 포함하는 산지로의 두 번째 여행. 벽동 현에서 어떤 전직 관리가 80리를 왔습니다. 그와 그의 집 모두, 약 20명이 믿게 되었습니다. 조력자가 우상을 태우는 것을 돕기 위해 갔습니다. 그렇게 보수적인 지역에서의 주목할 만한 개종입니다.

벽동골 방문 - 의도하지 않게 곽로동에서의 박해 붕괴의 원인. 지역 관리들이 기독교인들에게서 이교도 제사를 위해 돈을 착취하고 있었습니다. 마을 관리들이 선교사가 읍내로 갔다는 말을 들었습니다. 그가 현령을 만나러 갔다고 가정했습니다. 집사의 집으로 급히 달려가 착취한 돈을 도로 냈습니다. 그 문제를 생각하지 않고 박해가 중단되었습니다.

삭주 교회는 크게 개선된 상태입니다. 다투는 회원들이 떠나갔고, 남은 사람들은 조화롭게 일하고 있습니다. 삭주 현령 앞에서의 아주 흥미로운 사건. 아름다운 풍습: 남편이 죽을 때 무방비 미망인을 데려갑니다. 보통 어떤 남자의 첩으로 강제됩니다. 친족들이 유괴를 돈을 위해 묵인합니다.

삭주에 도착하기 전: 22세의 밝은 젊은 남자가 죽었습니다. 그의 미망인, 19세의 매력적인 소녀였습니다. 자신의 형이 유괴했을 것으로 의심되었습니다. 그녀는 좋은 시험을 통과하여 예비 신도로 입회했습니다. 일요일 밤 자정쯤: 4명의 남자가 담을 넘고 그녀를 데려갔습니다.

매우 추운 밤, 불충분한 복장. 아기가 매우 아파서 싸여지지 않은 채로 옮겨졌습니다. 추격대가 시작되었습니다. 형의 집에서 그가 350냥을 받았다는 것을 알았습니다. 빈 리볼버의 위협으로 그 남자의 집으로 가도록 강제했습니다. 첫 번째 당사자가 그녀를 구출하고 2명을 포로로 잡을 영광을 얻었습니다. 또 다른 남자가 이 말을 듣고 먼저 공격하기로 결심했습니다.

북쪽의 선교사들은 항상 미망인 도둑을 낙담시켜 왔습니다. 삭주에서는 그러한 교훈이 주어진 적이 없어서, 계속 체류하고 기소하기로 결심했습니다. 2명의 남자가 때린 것을 보고 그곳을 떠났습니다. 현령의 아기가 살거나 죽을 때까지 그들을 잡고 있다는 약속. 아기가 죽었고, 남자들은 살인죄로 기소되어 사슬 갱으로 선고되었습니다. 이 이야기는 여러 현에 퍼졌습니다 - 삭주의 미망인 도둑은 명백한 후퇴를 받았습니다.

삭주에서 일정을 버리고 안동으로 급히 가야 했습니다. 의주 현의 신장 교회 - 300명의 큰 교회입니다. 확대된 지원이 필요했고, 재목을 지난 8월에 샀습니다. 전쟁 상황이 건축을 연기했습니다. 재목이 청부업자(약한 기독교인)에게 보관되었습니다.

English Original

April 3 to May 3 was spent in a second trip to the mountains which time covering the whole of Sak Ju and Eastern Eui Ju circuits. There were a number of incidents deserving of special mention. In Pyektong county an ex-official came eighty li to see me and he and all his house, about twenty persons in all, believed. The helper went out to his house, to assist in burning the idols. This was a notable conversion in so conservative a district.

My visit to Pyektong Kol was the unwitting cause of the collapse of persecution at Kwallodong. The local officials were extorting money from the Christians for the heathen sacrifices, in spite of a proclamation from the Christians for the heathen sacrifices. When the village officials heard that I had gone to the county seat, they supposed that I had gone to interview the magistrate and to have them punished, so they rushed to the local deacon's house and paid back all the extorted money and begged him to hurry to the Kol to save them. Thus without giving a thought to the matter, an annoying persecution was stopped.

I found the Sak Ju church in greatly improved condition. It has always given a great deal of anxiety, but most of the quarrelsome members have now moved away and the remnant is working harmoniously. I had a very interesting case before the Sak Ju magistrate. It is the beautiful custom in this heathen land to carry off a defenseless widow when her husband dies, usually to be concubine of some man. The relatives connive at the abduction, if she has any, by a sufficient present of money. Often the relatives connive at the abduction.

Before reaching Sak Ju, a bright young man of 22, who had been baptized on my previous visit, died suddenly. His widow, an attractive girl of 19, for her own sorrow intensified by deadly fear, for her own brother was suspected of having sold her. She passed a good examination along with others at the Samlin service. Sunday night about midnight she awakened by the report that four men had climbed the wall and carried her off. It was a bitter cold night and she was hustled along with insufficient clothing, and the baby, which had been very sick for some days, it was a bitter cold night and she was carried without being wrapped at all. We started pursuing parties at once. After going first to her brother's house, we learned that he had received 350 nyang that day. At the point of an empty revolver he was forced to lead us to the house of the man to whom he had sold her, but the first party had the honor of rescuing her and capturing two of the men who had carried her off. It seems that another man had heard of the abduction and having learned that the first party had cheated the purchaser out of his bargain.

The missionaries in the north have always discouraged widow stealing, particularly the stealing of Christian widows, but no lesson had ever been given in Sak Ju, so I decided to remain and prosecute in person, knowing full well that there would be no punishment unless the magistrate were coerced. I staid long enough to see the two men thrashed and to secure the magistrate's promise to hold them till the baby lived or died. It died and the men were held for murder and have since been sentenced to the chain gang. The story has gone over several counties and widow stealing in Sak Ju has received a decided backset.

At Sak Ju I was forced to abandon my schedule and hurry to Antong in behalf of the church at Sin Chang in Eui Ju county. It is a large church of 300 members and having long felt the need of enlarged quarters, lust August lumber was bought to enlarge the church building, but owing to war conditions it was decided to wait a little before beginning work. The lumber was stored in care of a contractor, a weak Christian. About this time the interpreters attached to Japanese headquarters in Antong began to terrorize the people of Eui Ju county. It is one of their main sources of revenue becoming piles of lumber such as the Sin Chang church had. The contractor on two occasions saved the lumber by putting up a cash bribe, but the third time he was overpowered and beaten, and the Japanese stamp was put on the lumber. If the church had only known that the psychological moment when they should have cheerfully contributed that lumber to Dai Nippon and inconspicuously faded into deep oblivion had before them the terrible example of the neighboring village which had been burned for only a couple of chickens, Koreans being beaten into insensibility, Koreans seldom know what is hygienic, though these people were daily witnesses to acts of brutality.

I heard the story of the stamping of the lumber at Sin Chang, and on writing to the commander at Antong, received a reply from him guaranteeing its protection. I gave the letter to the local church officers and told them to go ahead with their building. They did so and when ready to set up the frame, soldiers appeared and stopped the work, carrying off one of the deacons, Chay Chiryun, a man of intelligence who has visited New York, as have several of his brethren. The news was received at the Sin Chang church and others of the Eui Ju county by couriers rushed to Syen Chyun and up the mountains to find the missionary. The deacon in jail ten days before I reached Antong. I was treated very politely by the Japanese officials in Antong, but it was the oriental politeness that passe the westerner asking for a favor from an oriental to say "No," "Tomorrow" less harsh and accomplishes the same purpose in the end. After two days I went away full of tea and promises.

Resuming my interrupted schedule, I found great cause for encouragement in all the churches of Eastern Eui Ju. A new church at Tanghu, organized just after the Eui Ju class, had already grown to [text becomes illegible on page 40].
