Korea Mission Progress
By Missionary Review
KOREA continues to be the most fruitful field of our missionary labors, so far as visible results are concerned. 1,263 communicants were added to the church during the year, almost one-fourth of the total number in all our fields. Encouraging advance has been made in the new educational work. The board is making considerable additions to the forces of the mission, whose inadequacy may be judged from the fact that Pyeng Yang station has 2,944 church members, 3,837 catechumens (1,580 of the latter new this year), 54 counties to shepherd and evangelize, and but 8 ordained ministers to do it. Of 92 native helpers, all but 6 are supported by the people, who have, almost unaided, erected 46 new churches this year, making 152 in all. The natives have contributed nearly $4,400 gold. The work is waiting to be done, but the workers are pitifully few.—Missionary Review.
