Japan and Korea

By F. W. FIELD

THE work continues to prosper in these fields. A few weeks ago Brethren Burden and Okahira visited the little church at Wakamatsu. At this time five were baptized, and plans for the advancement of the work were considered.

Of late we have planned a sort of Bible institute here in Tokyo for some of our younger workers and interested believers. Daily classes in Bible and English are held; also in Japanese language study for the benefit of the Korean brethren present. We have had two of our young men from Wakamatsu come to attend this institute for a month or so. We believe that this effort will be an encouragement and help to all concerned.

During the past summer we have made a beginning in the work of doing our own printing. A good hand press has been secured, and a good beginning made in equipping an office with type. We are not attempting to print our monthly paper yet, but are printing the Sabbath-school lessons, and shall be able to publish various tracts. One of our Korean brethren has translated two of our tracts into Korean, and we expect soon to publish these from our own press. This will add another language to the list of tongues in which present truth is being published to the world.

On the eighth of October our new force of workers arrived at Yokohama. These are Dr. Emma A. Perrine and Sister Bessie Young for the work in Kobe, and Elder W. R. Smith and his wife for Korea. While we welcome these workers to a share in our labors, we ask the prayers of our brethren that their efforts may be richly blessed of the Lord.
