In North Chosen (Korea)

By Riley Russell, M. D.

The new name for Korea is Cho-sen, which means the “Land of Morning Calm.”
I HAVE just been up to the north boundary of Korea once more, to visit our native worker there. Elder Butterfield came out with me to see about starting a primary school at this place.
To-day there is a wind from Manchuria sweeping over Korea, which makes us think that winter may come any day. We are only a few miles from the China Sea, and we get a good stiff breeze from the region of Port Arthur, which is cutting, and makes the poor Koreans shiver, even if they do have about three fourths of an inch of cotton padded into the lining of their clothes.
Last week while I was at Chinnampo, holding a study on the Seal of God, an intelligent-looking man arose, and said: “I have been a believer in Christ fifteen years, but I want to be among the 144,000 and have God’s seal.” He has five sons, who are all employed as preachers or teachers by one denomination. When we see such men as this take hold of the truth, we are encouraged, and led to thank God for the power there is in the message. We ask to be remembered at the throne of grace.
