Wonsan, Korea

By W. R. Smith

The company of believers two hundred miles north of here is developing into a strong church. They are quite a substantial class of people, some of them being merchants, some farmers, and one of them a hotel keeper. The leader of the company is a merchant, and comes to this place to get his merchandise. As yet they have no church building, but use one of their own houses for a meeting-house. I have made them two visits, and our Korean worker is spending the winter with them.

Here in Wonsan, from time to time, our hearts are made glad by seeing some one accepting the message. Those who do accept it face much opposition. The natives around us have been under church influence for some time, but very few of them have ever professed to accept Christianity. We are trying to work for them through the children. Mrs. Smith has a class of ten girls, who come to our house and study five days each week. She teaches them Bible, arithmetic, and physiology. I trust that you will remember us in your prayers. W. R. Smith.
