Christian Missions in Korea

Former Vice-President Chas. W. Fairbanks has been touring recently in the Orient, and has been studying missionary operations, particularly in Korea and Japan. Concerning their work and its results, Mr. Fairbanks gives the following testimony:—

I find that Christian missionaries are a wholesome influence. They are working in entire harmony with the Japanese protectorate and with the Koreans. Throughout the country their influence is now being felt, and these mission workers are co-operating with, and have the sympathy of, the resident general in their educational labors. The fact of this recognition and co-operation on the part of the Japanese protectorate, is to me an assurance of the future welfare of the Koreans. The Christian missions in Korea are given greater liberty of action than missionaries are usually given in any foreign country, and there is absolutely no interference on the part of the protectorate with them or their teachings.
