Missionary Work in Korea and Africa

KOREA gives a clarion call for workers to take up the work made possible by the receptive attitude of the people. Japan is developing her material resources, but there are many instances where their treatment of the Koreans leaves much to be desired in the interests of justice. The spread of Christianity continues at a remarkable rate. The problem is to give the proper training to those who seek entrance into the church.
In Africa the Kongo state has nominally been handed over to Belgian control, but without sufficient guaranty of a correction of the existing abuses. Natives may still be cruelly oppressed, and equal rights of commerce and unhampered missionary work may still be denied. In Abyssinia the closed door has been slightly opened to admit the Bible.
The Sudan has been entered by the gospel messengers from the southwest and the east, and preparations are being made for the coming conflict between paganism and Mohammedanism.—Missionary Review of the World.
