General Meeting in Southern Korea

By C. L. Butterfield

February 4-11 it was the writer's privilege to attend the general meeting for the believers in southern Korea. The meeting was held in Keizan, where Brother and Sister R. C. Wangerin have been working the past five years. It was well attended, and from the first there was a good spirit.

The work has grown during the past five years from nothing to eighty baptized church members. This number will have increased to more than one hundred before this is read, and the Sabbath school membership to about two hundred.

Although the people in this part of the country are very poor, yet their tithe and offerings for 1915 were the best of any part, amounting to a little more than $2 per capita.

This is the most populous section of Korea, and we rejoice to see the message gathering out the honest in heart. Pastors W. R. Smith, H. A. Oberg, and Ne Kun Ok were present and assisted in the meeting.
