By Rufus C. Wangerin

Korea

SEOUL.— We foreigners have just had our good prayer-meeting, and the Spirit of God was present in abundant measure. Our hearts were lifted up in behalf of our mission and of the whole world—for our dear people in the home land, and for our brethren at the head of this great work. And how grateful we feel for the assurance that earnest prayers are ascending to the throne of God for us.

We are indeed thankful for the privilege of being in Korea. And now that we have come, and that for a purpose, we desire, above all things, to be of service to these people. Our hearts go out in love and sympathy to them. O, if we were only able to administer to their needs! Yet we are studying hard day by day to master the language; we can not do much else. We believe that God is blessing us in acquiring it. We have been in the field now just a little over two months. Twice I have spoken at Sabbath services through an interpreter. How these hungry souls gaze, and grasp every word, both from the speaker and from the interpreter, as only a very hungry man can act at a meal. And what a truth we have, what a message of hope to these poor Koreans!
