Seoul, Korea

By R. C. Wangerin

I AM at home once more, after an absence of five weeks and one day. I have been at Wonsan, on the northeast coast, assisting Elder W. R. Smith in our first tent effort for Korea. I am sorry to be unable to report any glowing success.
We had a hard time securing a location. All our plans seemed crossed and counteracted; and finally, when we were in possession of an excellent site, the spirit- and devil-worshipers prevented us from preaching the religion of Jesus. We were compelled to retreat, after several days of fighting, to our own grounds. These were at some distance from the people, and consequently our attendance was small.
Our meetings did not turn out as we had expected, so we devoted our time to house-to-house visitation and to the distribution of the printed page.
It seems to me that now is the time when all, both priest and people, should weep between the porch and the altar, be thoroughly cleansed from every sin, receive the outpouring of the Spirit of God, finish the work, and be prepared to leave this rebellion and sin, and to be at home with our Father in heaven.
