We have among our country churches in Korea a large number of women who cannot read, and we are so short of workers that no one can be spared to go and teach them. Yet if they could only read the Bible for themselves, they would be very happy.

So we started a home study course for women who want to learn to read. We began the work only three months ago; and already one hundred and forty-seven women are enrolled, ranging in age from eight to seventy-two years.
The work is carried on by correspondence. Some member of the missionary society reads to them the letter of explanation, and helps them with their studies; and each month, they send in their written lessons. It is interesting to receive the A B C's written by old ladies. But they are anxious to read the Bible for themselves. Pray for them, that they may succeed.
Soonan, Korea.
