Korean Hearts Won

MRS. DR. RILEY RUSSELL, of the Soonan (Korea) dispensary, writes of an experience during the absence of the doctor while on one of his evangelistic tours to preach the message in the regions beyond. Her letter shows how hearts are won to the gospel by loving ministry: —

“A woman came fifteen li (five miles), carrying her ten-year-old daughter. The child’s hand had been crushed under one of those great stones which are used in hulling rice. Every bone was crushed, I think, and the last three fingers all but severed. The poor mother was distressed, and I knew just how she suffered. We gave chloroform and sewed the hand together, and put the child in our emergency room in the new dispensary. The little one is coming out all right. The mother now says that she will be a Christian, and I shall try to get the little girl into our school.”
