$300,000 Fund: Receipts and Use in Korea
By W. T. Knox
Below appears the statement of the receipts by the General Conference treasury on the $300,000 Fund during the month of November. This shows but slight increase over the last report, but indications are that there will be a material gain during the coming month. This should be the case in view of the action taken by the General Conference and by local conferences toward the closing up of this fund during the present year. It will be of interest to those contributing to the fund to know of the use to which this money is being put by some of the fields receiving benefit from it. A letter recently received from Elder C. L. Butterfield, says:— We in Korea are indeed thankful for the help received through the $300,000 Fund. Up to the present we have been able to get the following through this fund:— A house at Soonan for Prof. H. M. Lee. A house at Soonan for Dr. Riley Russell. A house at Keizan for R. C. Wangerin. A dormitory at Soonan to accommodate forty boys. A house for girls’ school at Soonan. Thirty-five acres of good farm land at Soonan. Three acres of land at Chinnampo. A church building and lot at Piengyang. A new printing-press and other machinery in our printing-house at Seoul. The above items mean much to the work in Korea, and we trust that God will bless us in the use of these helps to the salvation of many souls. Statement of $300,000 Fund
