A National Church for Korea
By Editor
A national church for Korea is the latest proposition, and, strange as it may seem, that proposition comes from Protestant sources. The suggestion on the part of "Methodist and Presbyterian missionaries" to unite forces, and to become one church—one in "educational, evangelistic, literary, and medical work"—is commendable; but that "the time is ripe for the establishment of one Korean National Church," savors of an effort to establish among that people a state church of Christ. Yet we are told in the Missionary Review that such a proposition was solemnly resolved at a meeting in Seoul. That Protestants should seek to establish the very thing against which Protestantism originally protested, is an ominous sign of the times.
