God’s Children in Korea

By Riley Russell, M. D.

HERE are two pictures that I am sure will be of interest to all. The old gentleman and his wife in the photograph have quite a history.
Son of Pai E. Myon, preacher, and his wife
Son of Pai E. Myon, preacher, and his wife
About six years ago as I was holding a Bible reading on the subject of the “Seal of God,” down by the Yellow Sea, an old man jumped to his feet and said, “I want this seal. Pray for me,” and sat down with the tears rolling down his face. He accepted the whole message and went to his home only to have all his belongings as well as himself thrown out of the house by one of his older sons. But he held on, and soon his youngest son and his wife accepted the faith, to be followed in a little while by his second youngest son. Then his oldest son yielded to the truth, and began preaching it in the extreme north of Korea, on the border of Manchuria. (The small picture of the man and his wife is this couple.)
About one month ago I had the privilege of dedicating a small church at the home of the older brother, and ordaining him as its elder. He is now about seventy years of age, and at the close of the organization the remaining son yielded to the pleading of the Holy Spirit, and he and his family made a complete surrender; so that now the father and his wife, his five sons and their families, and one daughter are one in desiring to be sealed with God’s seal. As the last son, the one who had persecuted the old gentleman, yielded to the claims of God’s law, the father broke down and cried, saying his cup of happiness was well-nigh full as he saw his whole family come into the fold. So the message goes, for it is an overcoming message.
