Keizan, Chosen

By R. C. Wangerin

We have just returned to our station from our good annual meeting held in Seoul. It was truly the best meeting conducted by our people in this field. A splendid spirit prevailed throughout, and we believe all have returned to their homes with increased strength, a firmer hope, and renewed consecration for service in the cause to which we all have dedicated our lives.

While we have had setbacks and discouragements, the field reports are very encouraging. There are now nearly 1,100 Sabbath keepers in Chosen; that is, total adherents, of whom more than 500 are baptized members. The work that

began so recently has spread to all the thirteen provinces of the country. Plans have been formulated whereby the work will be further extended in new regions during the coming mission year.

We appreciate the efforts of our dear brethren and sisters in the homelands in extending the glad tidings of salvation in these dark lands. We who are here on the frontier are but their delegated messengers. We are indeed grateful to know that loyal hearts and strong, willing hands are holding the cords as we endeavor to venture forth.

The hot summer weather is right upon us now. In the south end of the peninsula it is much warmer than any place in the Lake Union. We shall hasten to finish our work, and ere long go to our eternal home in the land of perfect day. No more heat or cold,—all these severe atmospheric changes and conditions as they exist in this sin-cursed earth, will be past. May the Lord keep us ever loyal to the message and faithful to himself, that we may eventually inherit an eternal home with him on high.
