Keizan, Korea

By R. C. WANGERIN

R. C. WANGERIN
We have just concluded a five weeks’ series of meetings. This has been our second special effort for Keizan. Dr. Riley Russell was with us during the first, and his help was greatly appreciated. We have not closed these meetings, however, to be at ease; we feel that the hardest work has but begun. Greater responsibilities rest upon us. For five weeks nightly the principal points of our faith were proclaimed publicly, together with classes for Bible study for men and women, and a children’s meeting every day. Many persons came in contact with this message who had not known of it before. Now there are opportunities for personal work. Decisions are to be made, victories gained, souls snatched, as it were, from the cruel grasp of Satan. Will he let them go? Will they come off conquerors through the name of Jesus? The battle with self is the greatest that was ever fought.
We hope and pray that some of these benighted souls will become enlightened, that the preaching may not prove merely a warning message, but that the good seed will fall upon some fertile ground watered by the Spirit of God, and bear fruit unto life eternal.
Our Korean workers have labored hard. They, too, wish to see the message go, and the work completed. Some will now, after this effort, carry literature and the good tidings to the inhabitants of villages farther off, who have as yet not heard. Thus may it be— “Tell it again! tell it again! Salvation’s story repeat o’er and o’er, Till none can say of the children of men, ‘Nobody ever has told me before.’”
It will not be long until we shall all meet again in our annual meetings for Korea. We shall then again meet with Elders I. H. Evans and F. H. De Vinney, and with all our home field fellow workers. We look forward with much interest to the gathering, after having been separated so long in our respective fields, away from all foreigners and those of like precious faith.
