3 FAREWELL WORDS OF BISHOP HARRIS. MARCH. 14, I will say to you in the tender words of Paul, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."you have had a full cup, you ministers of Christ. AU of you have had a full cup often running over. Yes, not often have you come to the.holy place with an empty.heart, with not a word of encouragement or uplift. And as you have imparted so have you received. Even Mr. Wesley way down to the last of his days, said, "I may not speak or gasp His name, but I preach Christ to all." Of course he did, he preached until the end of his life. But the parting in those days was much more tragic than now. Now we meet and part and go about the world exposed to very little danger. We have 'so many meetings along the way, but the meeting of friendship is the best. Well, the going around the world is like a holiday. It is hard, I cannot realize today that this will be the last Annual Conference over which I shall preside. These have been very delightful experiences to me, laborious, but it will be a relief to ljle that I shall not be carrying such responsibilites. If I can lay down these burdens, with honor, I shall be thankful to God and surrender them to another. There is really no place for me to go now, unless they send me on to China; Japan is SIDl.U, and Korea is smaller. Seriousl! speaking I want to go to India, the place that is very near to my heart, and look upon that land, that strange land. I would like to have a few months with them. The prospects I have of a peaceful journey from the United States to India is not very cheering at present and I have no desire to go to the theatre of war in Europe. I saw enough war when I was a boy. I talkeri to you,a great deal, but all I can do is to comm:md you :to God and to His grace. I shall again pour out the litany of thanks to you for the many kindnesses I have received from you. Now we shall read the appointments which have been prepared with a good deal of prayer.

39 LAYING'CORNER-STONE OF NEW PAl CHAI SCHOOL BUILDING, MARCH, 1916 THE NEW HALL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, PYENGYANG

40 1916] REPORTS 39 REPORTS. Seoul, Chemulpo, W onju and Kangneung Districts. W. A. NOBLI!:, District Superintendent Missionary in Charge. There have been ten Pastors consecrating their whole energy to the work of evangelizing the people of this District during the last eight months. These men have baen helped by the Local Preachers, Exhorters, and Class Leaders of the sev~ral Churches; by the students of the College, the Theological -Seminary, the Bible Schools the Bible women and the organized work of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. This District is Pre-eminently a district of organized and institutional work. The men's college, women's college, High Schools and Seminary are all aggressive forces for the evangelization of the city and district. Auxiliary to these positive forces are the Bible Society, the Tract Society, the Y. M. C. A. and the Hospitals. The Conference is also appreciative of the efforts of the men who, while devoting their strength to our educational institutions, give of their time to the preaching of the word. This is as it should be. One of the most spectacular parts of our work during the year was the Evangelistic Campaign which was held in connection with the National Exposition in Seoul during the fall. The Government granted the several missions a site for a building. The Campaign was financed by the Korean Church, the Japanese Church, and by the Missionaries. The program was to reach the multitudes who for this occasion would pour into the city from all over the country. At 11 o'clock on the 11th of September the doors of the Exposition grounds swung open and a few moments before that time the first appeal was made to the people who had gathered in the Tabernacle and four men walked down the aisle and entered the enquiry room. The period of th~ Campaign was divided among the several missions havi~g work in Seoul. The time alloted to us was 11 days. The people came from all over the country, men and women who had never seen the capital before. They came from the most distant mountain villages, delightful, simple, country people, ready and grateful for the truth. The result was that we preached to fifteen or twenty

41 40 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, congregations each day. During the first month more than 30,000 people entered the hall and seven thousand received instruction in the enquiry rooms and announced their determination to become Christians. The Colleges and Schools and Seminary will have their several reports and it would be a reduplication of work for me to speak at length of them. The Pai Chai new building gladdens our eyes as it draws to completion, the dormitories are greatly needed especially as it is now necessary to surrender the rooms we have been.using for that purpose. There should be a strenuous effort this summer to house our students. Their safety and success depends greatly upon the dormitory. The College stands out as the great enterprise of the years not only in relation to this district but in relation to all our work in Korea. I feel constrained to congratulate our mission for its noble single heartedness in its devotion to this cause. While this is a union enterprise the labor at present rests largely upon our shoulders. Providence has been kind to us in returning Dr. Rufus for this work when the flnances of the Mission have been so straitened. Mr. Billings will soon return, Mr. Tuk Su Kim has also been placed on the faculty with Mr. Becker. We feel that we are lifting a good load and we rejoice in the task. There are those who have failed to read the meaning of such an institution located as it is in the capital of Korea and on the greatest aighway of the globe, at a place to which the multitudes of the nation turn for instruction, where the eyes of the nations are fixed with critical concern, and from where moulding influences will flow over the nations westward for weal or woe. If the Mission Boards in America will consistently carry forward the establishment of this institution for which they so unanimously pronounced their conviction as wise, they will then meet one of the few great strategic opportunities of the history of missions. At this stage of our work the Annual Conference and Mission policy should be to carry the initial load for the establjshment of the college at whatever cost of m3n and effort. What may seem as a sacrifice of the work in other departments for the present will prove good statesmenship in the future, I believe no single act of the year, which interprets the policy of our mission is more important and far reaching than the recognition of the Government of Paichai as a conforming school and the placing of that institution on an equal footing with Government schools. Not only Paichai but the whole educational policy of our mission is involved. In my judgement in the interpretation of the conditions that are impp~ed upon

42 1916] REPORTS 41 us by the Government, there is nothing that will militate against this institution standing for the highest Christian ideals of life and practice on the part of instructors and pupils in the future as has been in the past. Paichai during the year has done much service in the evangelistic work. Its preaching Band of twenty young men have had the care and development of the Syo-Bing-Ko group and have rendered s(>rvice at other important place~. The whole student body is made of Christian young men. The building' now nearly completed and the dormitories to be erected during the summer months will make of Pai Chai one of the grea test assets to our Church in Korea. The appropriation of the Missionary Society failing to be sufficient to cover the annual budget of the field has, as you are aware, cut the amount of support of the day schools in the middle' It has affected our districts to the amount of 2, We have managed to keep the schools going to the close of the school year, i. e., till the first of April, at the cost of From that date; unless the Missionary Society gets behind our work, 75% of the schools on the Seoul, Chemulpo and the Wonju Districts will be without support from the Missionary Society. To meet this threatened calamity which is of equal character on all the districts, the Conference should take special action looking to the salvation of the schools. In August of 1915, an Ordinance known as No. 83 regulating the propogandism of religions was promulgated by the Government. This Ordinance went into effect the first of October and required all Churches, and all propogandists to be registered. October was spent in preparing the forms of reports and the collecting of materials from the Churches for that work. Not a little confusion was experienced in this preparation as it was altogether a new experience and the Pastors did.not know what was required of them. Before the close the work was pronounced satisfactory by the Government officials. This work has absorbed the most of my time during four months of the year, in the course of which I visited Pyeng Yang, Yeng Byen and Kongju. 1 wish here to thank my fellow laborers, all the Pastors and Local Preachers who so loyal}y gave their time to the work. Brother F. H. Smith has done us much service in the preparation and the interpretation of the forms that were required by the Government. While it is true that the months in which the Pastors were engaged in the gathering of material and facts for the work of registration they were unable to do aggressive work of evangelization, 1Jlere has been a steady upwatd move and the spirit of the-

43 42 KORE A AN~[JAL CPNFERENCE [MARCH, Church was never batter than it is to-day. During.January there was again issued the order from the Government to collect the statis~cs of the Church membership as exist~d at the close of December and report the same to th~ Officials. This was done. While I am not prepared to say what the record will be of Church' membership I fear there will be an app!1rant falling off for the reason that the collection of statistics were made out with u:1usual care and th~se who had been kept on the Ghurch roll a long time and had fallen. away were reported this year as had been done in the past. It is not always easy.for.a.pastor to determine when to remove a name from the roll as all who have once joined our numbers and continued for a period are.still the objects of attention and effort, though their attendance is intermittent or totally givenup.. Our Sunday Schools have received splendid impetus during the year. Mr. Hyun-Sun has not only greatly helped in the organization of the :Sunday Schoo~s but has also greatly deepened the devotional spirit of the.s<:hoo}s and Churches wherever he has gone. The most marked result of the years work in Seoul has appeared in the Primary Departments. There have been added a number of schools of this' grade during the year which makes a total of 20. Most of these have been the direct result of work done by the Superintendent of this work for the District, Mrs. W. A. Noble. The work of the Bible Classes have been marked with special spirit-, ual devotion and evangelistic result. AU our people have been under Bible training during the year. Too much can not be said of the work of the W. F. M.S. under the leadership of Miss Marker along this line. Every Quarterly Conference held on the District during the year has been a period of brotherly helpfulness and deepening of the piety of the members. Time does not allow a review of the condition of all the Churches, A few, however, demand special reference, Changnai under the devoted leadership of No-Kyung-Choon is quite the banner. Church from the standp)int of self support. They eare for the Pastor, help support the i' Bible woman and the Girl's s:!hool teacher and have enlarged their Church Bllilding without 'help from outside. They are caring for three mis.sion groups in connection with.changnai. The building is too small for the congregation again. Here is the site of the proposed colleg~ and a building should be erected that will not only meet the needs of the immediate congregation but als\) for the studen~s that will naturally at-

44 1916J REPORTS 43 tend at that point. This is a task beyond the strergth of the Cbargnai Church. Kong-duk Lee has added to her previous efforts in shurir:g gifts that now total 1, for their new Church. Chong-dong Church required the rebuilding of one of the walls which threatened to collapse on account of the poor foundation conditions. The members of the Church united and pledged over COO.OO to extend the side of thi! building so as to enlarge the Church to meet the needs of the congregation. The rainy season brought trouble to the Mead Memorial Congregation. The Church roof was repaired. The people giving to this end. Chong No Church has demonstrated its need of a new and adequate building as never before. Not only is the congregation growing and therefore, in need of enlarged quarters, but almost all of our united work of the city has to be done here as the Church is central and easy of accese. We must have at an early date a building here that will care for all our special work such as Bible Institute work, Sunday School Conventions for the City and country, and other general gatherings. Here is the natural lccation for a clearing house for the Church in this section of the country, a place where our interests with other missions can be worked out and plans for co-operation in City Evangelism can be made. The Pastor of the East Gate Church has set the pace as a Pastor in the visitation of his p O!)Ie. He is demonstrating that this is one of the chief duties of a Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. I shall leave the work on the Chemulpo, the Wonju and the Kangneung Districts to the reports of the men who have been in close assocication with it durmg the year. The Church building at Wonju station was started last fall and will be hastened to completion as soon as the spring opens. Miss Hillman has been added to the force of workers for which the District congrat'llates itself. The District Conference at VI-Chin in October rev( aled the facts that this section is far behind much of our other work in the indiv:idual development of the believer. Instruction in class work is constantly held as opportunity affords and the people are grateful for the priveleges they offer. This work on the coast should be strengthened by the appointment of at least one of our best Korean Pastors.

45 44 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, Haij u District. C. D. MORRIS. Superintendent. The Conference year just closing, has been a brief one. I regret that I was not able to give this. district all the time and attention I desired. I travelled over all the work with Bro. Chew last June and had. planned to participate in tbe General Class in December, but house duties and the registration of our churches, as required by the Government, prevented my doing so. As Bro. Chew has most~aithfully cared,fot all the churches, I will let his report tell the story of the work on this most important district. Mr. Chew reports as follows; "It is with thankful hearts that we review the results of another prosperous year for Haiju District.. Perhaps a better spirit for unity in work, firmer determination for agressiveneas in promulgating the Gospel message, and greater willingness to further the aims of self-support, have never been so prevalent in the hearts of the native brethren as are now manifested all over the District. In the statistics for the past ten months which!{o to make up the Conference year, Haiju District reports 3815 total adherents, showing a gain over last year of 143. Full members number 1114, a gain of 29. Probationers number 686, a loss of persons were baptized during the year, 70 being adults, 29 more than last year, 45 being children, four more than last year. Y was paid by the churches towards pastors' salaries. Four new groups were started and plans have been made at other places for four new churches. I made eight trips to the country, visiting the groups on the different circuits, baptizing 41 children and 50 adults, received 48 persons on probation and 82 into full membership. Self-support has been on the hearts of the Korean preachers. Last year the Preacher's Society made up the shortage in preacher's salaries amounting to Y87.00 from the Society's funds. This year they voted to cut Yen per month from the amount p~id by the Mission, towards their salaries, with the understanding that their parishoners were to make up the deficit. Part of this has already been guaranteed and we hope to gat it all maie up within a short time. H.aiju Church decided to become self-supporting from January 1st. Seventeen Men's Bible Classes were held at different places thruout the district. The~e classes are becoming more and m:m~ popular each year. Last December was a very busy tirpe for us in getting our -churches, land, and preachers registerad according to Government raquirements.

46 1916] REPORTS 45 Reduction of Mission Funds for the support of Primary Schools was greatly felt at Yunan city and Paikchun. These schools will probably continue to run but they will not be very strong. The HAIJU CITY BOYS SCHOOL has had a succesful year, and the only obstacle that blocks our advance is the lack of an adequate building, to take the place of the old Korean building that we now occupy. The enrolment ran up to 70 for the year and the average attendance was sixty-two. Yen was received on tuition. The Church people and friends contributed towards different expenses. Yen was paid out to help needy students. There are at preseht, four te~:chers employed in the school. Three of these are gi"aduates from Seoul, one from Paichai and two from the John D. Wells school. Our greatest need is a new school building and equipment. Yen 6,000.00, or $ will meet this need. We are trusting that sufficient funds will be available within the next year to give us a properly equipped school. " A word must be said about Haiju city. We have now a commodious new church which can well care for a much increased congregation. The city of Hdju has never yet yielded the harvest it should. A congregation of 1000 people, should be our aim in that city. For years we were handicapped because we could not seat more than those who attended. That handicap has now been removed. We trust that our hearts m.y be rejoiced by the news of a gr.eat shaking up in Haiju city. The boy's school building mentioned in Mr. Chew's report, is an absolute necessity. We must have it soon or close our school. We cannot go on indefintely in '()ur present cramped quarters. It was a joy that Bishop Harris was able to visit Haiju and preside over our District Conference. His presence was appreciated by au. As I now close my connection with Haiju District I want to express my deepest appreciation of the cordiality of all the workers, both foreign and Korean. It has been a joy to work with them and my three years of d~lightful associq.tion will long be remsmbered. May God's richest blessing abide on them all BISHOP AND BRETHERN:- Kongju East District. CORWIN TAYLOR, District Superintendent. Less than half a yea.r has gone by since our return to Korea from the United States but the days have been well filled with the various

47 46 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, activities of a missionaries life. Many unexpected events caused the change of our plans, and our class work was cut short by the cablegram summoning Brother and Sister Swearer to America. The illness of brother Swearer in the fall, the serious illness of some of our Korean pastors, and the entrance of death into their homes, together with the amount of time involved in getting the work of registration of churches completed, made impossible any program for extensive work and curtailed our plans for intensive develorment to a large extent. GENERAL CONDITION OF THE WORK. In point of numbers the work of the district is below what it was last year, but the spiritual tone of the churches has been improving steadily and the number of competent live leaders is on the increase. There seems to be less of personal work than formerly, but the tendency to study in the classes and become efficient as Christ's workers is gratifying. A few new churches have been erected or bought during the year and the prospect for developing the groups where these buildings are located is good. We are making a beginning in some of the larger centers but as these are as yet embryonic groups they will receive only this brief mention. In one or two instances our churches have been so severly persecuted that it hns all but broken up the work, only the most advanced and tried Christians being able to stand without wavering. The Colporteurs have done excellent work in many localities and one of them has been able to resurrect a church which was practically dead, caused by removals to Manchuria. CLASS WORK. The day for spectacular itinerating trips as a means of building up the work is a thing of the past and the day of intensive class work and revival meetings must more and more claim the time and effort of the missionary evangelist. The class work of the past year that we were able to do was most satisfactory, because of the. number who came for the ten days of study and special services, and further because of. the wholesome spiritual atmosphere that pervaded all our classes several of. which resulted in real revivals. The ideal way is to have the class work and the revivals separate a~d distinct but for practical purposes and because of a lack of time a combination of the two giving the day to study and the evenings to special services has on the whole been very satisfactory. One of our crying needs for class and revival work is larger meeting places centrally located.

48 1916]., REPORTS 47 WORK FOR WOMEN. The work for the Korean women on the Eest District has been under the supervision of Miss Blancr.e Bair who has hbored untiringly and most acceptably in class work :md itinerating among them. Mrs. Swearer and Mrs. Williams each kindly assisted Miss Bair in some of the larger/classes for women and for their services we are most grateful. Two of the larger classes were held in connection with men's classes making it possible for the women to have the benefit of the special services, in the evening, the spiritual results of this,plan fully justified it. A few years ago the women of the churches seemed to be in densest ignorance of all the necessary things which go to make up Christian character, but now owing to faithful teaching and training they are developing intelligently and spiritually and. in several of our churches they outnumber the men. SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The work among our young people has never reached the effective state but our Sunday Schools are improving and if we could get the t~achers to teach instead of preaching at the class the results would be much more desirable. Lack of le~ders who know how to lead and apt to te3.ch is our greatest need in this line. The men who have been at the Bible school show an improvement but it seems to be next to impossible to keep Sunday School teachers and Superintendents from preaching and exhorting to those under their care. The visit 'of Brother Hyen in the int3:'est of the Sunday School work was greatly appreciated and will be an increasing mean's of giving oirection and inspiration to our workers among the people. A good beginning of work among children of nonchristian parents has been made but the measureless possibilites in this line have on' been touched as yet. DAY SCHOOLS. The closing of the d~y schools is not a serious problem as that line, of work has never been very largely developed among us but the schools we have helping have supplied a real need fo'r their location has as a rule been several miles from any similar institution carried on by the government. In one school boys a!ld girls study together and the plan h~s worked admirably. ;0 Two girls schools on the District one at Chicksan Mines and one at Tunpo ~re both doing a splendid work and are a help and inspiration to the local churches in ~oth instances. Brother Williams has had charge

49 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH~ of all the boys schools on the District and has given of his. time and counsel to them as he was able visiting them once at least, and some of them twice during the year. Death the grim reaper in the form of typhus fever has carried off some of our strong leaders, and in one instance at least took nearly an entire church. '. The return of Brother and Sister Swearer to America before conference necessitated by the serious illness of Mrs. Swearer's mother was a cause of regret to u,s all, but our hopes and prayers are that they may return in good season with health and strength for the work they both love so much. For the priveledge that is ours of again being in the work, we are most sincerely grateful to the Giver of a~l good things. Kongju West District. To the Bishop and Members of Confe~ence. DEAR BRETHREN :- On board S. S. Empress of Japan. February 9, God, in His wise providence, has called us home to America on account of the serious illnel!s of my wife's mother. It is with great regret that I find I am compelled to leave before Conference. The sad news came out ~o suddenly and we had so mccny things to do in getting ready to leave that I could not find time to write a report for conference. So after leaving, on the steamer b~fore departing from Japan, I am writing a few words of farewell..,l First, I want to say that before I knew that I was to leave, in January, I prepared statistics showing the growth of the West District during four years.

These figures show that the Churches of the West District have been going forward in all lines of development. But they cannot show what I have seen during the past year: the earnestness, favor and faithfulness of preachers and people. They do not tell of the powerful spiritual sermons that our preacher's have preached nor of the great spiritual blessings the brothers and sisters have received, the wonderful out pouring of the Holy Spirit upon both pastors and people. We have now a wonderful spiritual church, praise God. And, I believe, it is just the beginning of a wonderful work of the Holy Spirit; we must pray more and receive more powerfully than ever the enduement of the Holy Spirit, and labor more earnestly than ever for the salvation of our fellowmen. Last year God blessed our Conference greatly but it is my prayer, that this year. He may visit you all with a still greater blessing of joy, peace and power. Pray for us in our trouble.and we shall pray for you as you meet. It is in our hearts to live and die in Chosen and we look forward to returning in a year's time, God willing, to h:.bor by your side for the. Master. Our love and gratitude goes out to you all for your love and kindnessto us. Let us all remember the words of our Lord Jesus; "Lo! I am with you always." Amen Your brother, W C.

51 50 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, Suwon District. This Conference year has witnessed the reduction of our working force on the District by the return to America on furlough of Rev. H. C. Taylor and family. The continued illness of Rev. Hong Seung Ha also has pr~vented him from taking active part in the work, except to a very limited extent. The usual routine of work was further interrupted for about one month at the busy season of the year by the work of preparing government reports. On a District, undermaned even when all the forces are working at their best, all these causes have combined to prevent th~ accomplishment of many. desired results. Nevertheless the District has rejoiced in the return of Miss Miller, so well recovered in health that she has given almost uninterrupted time to the work since the day she arrived. The District was congratulating itself on the return of Miss Hillman also to the work, when we were soon doomed to disappointment by her transfer to the W onju District. Our great loss has been that District's gain. However, we have the privilege of recording our thanks for her cooperation with Miss Miller in the Women's cjass work throughout the entire fall season. At the last Annual Conference one local preacher in charge was discontinued, and' an associate pastor on another circuit promoted to fill his place. Several exchanges among the preachers of the different circuits were also made, all of which have proved to the advantage of the work. No changes, however, were made with preachers of other Districts; and, with the exception of the' one man discontinued, the personnel of the salaried workers remains the same. At our District Conference, local preacher's licenses were granted to seven promising new men. A choice number of intelligent and active laymen is being raised up, from whose ranks is gradually being evolved a strong leadership for the country Churches. From this material should come new preachers for the work. Already four promising men are waiting an opening to enter the ministry. The District ~s greatly in need of :reenforcements, but the doors are still closed for want of funds to put new men to work. At the last session of Annual Conference one man, Rev. Yi Chang Hoi, was received into full connection with Conference, and ordained as deacon. No}V we have two native ordained elders and two native deacons, one of whom was ordained in the local preacher's course four years ago and comes to this Conference recommended by the District.conference for ordination as elders. Two more me~ are ready at this

52 1916] REPORTS 51 Conference to be received into full connection and to be ordained as deacons. The District has continued as before under four main sub-divisicn~, but the lines of demarkation have been somewhat altered. The two eastern circuits have remained as before under the general oversight of Rev. Chang Chun Meung; but Brother Taylor's absence in America and the illness of Brother liong made necessary a new alignment of the central and western circuits. Rev. Han Chang Sup took charge of the six central circuits, Rev. Yi Chang Hoi was given charge of the 0 San and the two Nam Yang circuits, and Rev. Hong Seung Ha received the Suwon and An San circuits. The continued illness of Brother Hong and the growing illness of his wife resulting in her death only a few days since, have been a serious drawback in his work. Under the new alignment of the sub-districts the total-number of circuits has been increased from eleven to thirteen. This increase in circuits brings the Quarterly Conference within easier reach of many of the official members, and has resulted in increase in total attendance and efficiency of the Conferences. The number of girls schools has remained, as last year, at six, with an enrollment of 277 pupils: The close of this Conference year finds the District with ten boys schools and 465 pupils, which is four schools le3s than reported last year, and last year's report was again four less schools than the previous year. This decrease in schools does not, on the one hand, mark an increase in number of government schools in these places, furnishing school accommodations to our pupils; nor, on the other hand, does it mv,rk a loss of interest on the part of the parents in the education of their children. The native contributions have almost doubled the amount of support we have been able to give to the schools; and one of the most heartrending experiences of the missionary is in witnessing the agony of the parents when these schools have to be given up. The difficulty lies in the financial straits of the mission, which compels us to withdraw support from these schools. The prospects for the schools for the corning Conferen~e year are the darkest of any we have yet faced. The closing of so many schools has farced the attention of the ~ission to the larger consideration of the development of the Sunday School work. I am sorry, that, so far as numbers are concerned, the Sunday School statistics for my District this year are not encouraging. The -statistics, however, do not, in this case, represent the actual interest in this work throughout the District. During the months of November and December Rev. Hyun Soon held three Sunday School training classes for

53 .52 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH;.a'weak each llt the main canters of the District. His efforts were very successful in cl"3uting cn intelligent interest in the Sunday School work; and already in the places where the classes were held the Sunday Sch')ols have made larger advance. On a recent Sunday well over three hundred pupils were in attendance at Sunday School at Suwon, more than sixty small children were enrolled in the primary department; and in the total Sunday School enrollment; including the children from our day schools, there are, in this Church, over two hundred children. Teachers' classes are held during the week here and at a few other large Churches, and plans are now working b extend the Sunday School work ::::.11 over the District. The greatest drawback here is in gatting capable teachers in the small country Churches. More attention to the preparation of Sunday School teachers, through classes for that special purpose, is an aim in the present development of the work. Brother Hyun's work on the District was not only fruitful in creating new Sunday School activity, but revival outpourings attended his meetings, and some young men of great promise were lead to conseerate their lives to definite Christian service. Many Bible and normal training Clas~s have been held by Miss Miller, assisted by Miss Hillman, and still other Classes held by the Bible women themselves. Among the men there have been three central Classes, in which th~ Class leaders', exhorte:."s' and local preachers' courses were given. Many other 9lasses, lead by the native Pastors and circuit preachers, helped by voluntary native teachers, have been held. The superintendent was prevented by other duties from taking part in more than two of the Classes, and even in these two he could not be present for quite the, full time. As always heretofore, these Classes were.combined with evening revival services; and this year the best spirit ever mainfested attended these meeting.:;. Each day began before daylight with a prayer mget:ng; and in the evening services many received victory in their lives; and there were some marked conversions. The subject of Tithing was taken up in the Classes and in the District and Quarterly Conferences, and much interest in this vital subject was create:!. A large number in all these gatherings reaching fully tyro thirds of those in attendance at the District Conference, pledged them~ selves to tithe. A model pledge card and contribution envelope was exhibited at all these gathering3. Already reports are coming from some.quarters of the fulfillment of the tithing promises. Out of this movement one Church almost dead has been revived. The cuhpination of the.self support movement is seen in an increase for the District in-this Con-

The superintendent has m:~je sixteen t:'ips on his District, spending one hund:-ed sixty two days in the country. He has traveled 8,760 Ii, of which he covered 6,150 li on foot. He has held one District Conference an3 twenty five sessions of Q"Jlll'terly Conferences, among which was one union Quarterly Conference of six ci:i'cuits, and one other of two circuits. He was not abb to attend all the Quarterly Conferences, Rev. H<.m ChJ.ng Sup, in his absence held one, Rev, Hong Seung Ha, one, Rev. Chang Chun Meung, one union Conference of two circuits, :md Rev. Yi Ch1l.ng Hoi, two Conferences. The superintendent has als:) taught seventeen d>ays in Bible Classes, made tw.) hundred sixty visits to Churches and groups, has administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Sup_ pel" twen~y eight times, has baptized fourteen adults and seven Children, and received fifteen persons into full membership with the Church. In traveling over his 'Gjstrict the superintendent is more and more impressed with the magnitude of the work and the opportunity and the smallness of our beginning. Not that great thi~gs are not being accomplished. There is co question of the deepening spiritual life of the Church, the growth in the knowledge of the truths of the Bible and in th ~ realization of the facts of Christian experience. But the great hecthen world, m()dified to be sure, in form, but still heathen, encircles and stretches all beyond our scattered Churches. I come in contact with thi!3 unconverted world on every side. I preach to these men; both in.dividu:j.lly and in groups as they gather round, when I am passing. I find them impressed with the Gospel. I look into their eyes, and see the hungar of soullooking back at me. One of these men, voicing the feeling of others around h!m, said to me, "If what you say is true, who would Dot wish to accept this faith." It is for these outside the ComuDD-wealth of Israel," "w~thout God and without hope in the world, " that We must press forward, and possess the land. As in Joshua's time, so now, very much of the land still remains unoccupied. Despite lack of funds and many new restjctlons, we must organize such forces as we hava t'j move forward into ths full possession of this land by Christ for His inheritance. G. M. BURDICK, Superintendent.

55 54 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH~ Pyengyang East District. C. D. MORRIS, Superintendent. At the last Conference, Bro. J. Z. Moore was given charge of the work he had labored so faithfully to develop in former years, and so the Pyengyang District was divided into the East and West Pyengyang Districts. r was given charge of the Pyengyang East District, and Bro. Paul L. Grove had charge of several of the circuits in addition to the work on the Southern part of the Yengbyen District. Bro. Grove's report in part is as follows; "The past year's work is unique because of the fact that thru Divine assistance, it has been possible to carry out the extensive plans laid during the previous summer, and to bring to a succesful issue the various Bible Classes and Revivals and Itinerating Tours. Previous years have seen plans a plenty, but bodily ills or untoward circumstances have demolished many of them. This year's work has been one unbroken succesian of accomplished work, which has made the year unique in the history of my own life. r have preached twice a day for seven days each at four revivals, and have taught two subjects a day for ten days at our large Pyeng Yang Class, and one hour a day and intermittent night preaching at our Yeng Byen Class. One gratifying report to make, is that whereas the Finance Committee had been forced to order a cut of 10% in allowance for Preacher's Salaries the different circuits on my work had already decided to increase self-support by more than that amount so that the total for all my work was 15%, or fix more than required. During the summer r convened all my salaried men and held a three day's Conference with them, during which time we discussed six or seven important subjects, among them being' self-support, with the result as above outlined. The Sunday School for heathen children was also dwelt upon at this time, and much good accomplished, for while too busy with other things to push it this year, several were started and are doing nicely at last reports. To the Almighty r commend the efforts of a Conference Year, praying him to water and bring to fruitage the sown seed, and to pardon and blot out the transgressions and errors that may have marred his Divine, Wil1.".

56 1916] REPORTS 55 I personally travelled over the Seuhung, Paimi, Suan and Sinkei circuits. These circuits are perhaps the weakest in all our Northern work. Paimi has a strong church which pays almost half of the pastor's salary, and has good boys' and girls' schools. Seuhung has twelve places and one neat church building was erected last year. While at some points on this circuit, the work is very weak, there is considerable life in several of the churches. Suan Circuit, is the weakest of all. The church in the county seat, that used to have a congregation of forty or fifty t has for sometime. only had a handful. The man around whose labors most of the work had grown up, had gotten into debt, and in his efforts to pay his debts, his sprituallife and zeal grew cold. The last time I saw him, however, he delighted my heart by assuring me that he was now determined to be faithful to his Christian trust and would assume responsibility for the service as formerly. One evening after supper, the exhorter at the neighboring church, and I started out to visit this group which lay a few miles over a big mountain pass. When we arrived, we heard singing and found that they were having their evening worship. This has been their custom since the group started. Every evening after supper, all the believer.:; in the village gather into one of the houses and have Bible study and worship together. The Sinkei Circuit reports the erection of one neat tiled roof church building at Hantura. This was accomplished by much sacrifice. We hope that soon we may be able~.to have a new church in the county seat. The work in Pyengyang city has been very encouraging. First Church holds her own and has started another congregation in the old Academy BUilding. Self-support is the rule at First Church. During tn'e Chinese New Year, there was a large enrollment of new believers. Ri Mun Kol, also gives great promise. Recently I preached there on a Sunday morning to over three hundred people. The other city churches fall into West Pyengyang District. The Chilsan and Pongnong Dong Circuits have had a hard experience on account of the sin of a former pastor. A year ago it was discovered that this man had been living in sin a considerable time. His iniquity has been a gred blow to those circuits, but the present preachers have been steady and faithful and several of the groups have had special blessing during the year. The new hospital has now been opened and is a credit b our Mission. It is a thoroughly equipped plant.

57 56 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, Bishop Harris was present during part of the District Conference and spoke to our workers with heartfelt power. The statistics for Pyengyang East District are as follows; Amount paid for pastor's salaries... Y Amount paid for all purposes..... Y There are 2917 Sunday school Scholars. Total adherents, 4360; Churches, 45 Boy's Schools, 8, with 523 pupils, including Pyengyang Ci~y schools. Girls's Schools 12, with 344 pupils. I close this report with the earnest prayer that God may be present with the Korean Church all during the coming year and that great advancement may be made along all lines. Pyeng Yang West District Report J. Z. MOORE. District Superintendent. The year has been one of readjustment. Also a year of gathering up of fragments. Readjustment to the changed condition~ and a gathering up of the left over fragments of a language that had not been used for seven years. Also the gathering together of the fragments of,a work I had not seen for more than six years. My own work for the year of 315 days in outline is as follows: Days spent out of Pyeng yang 141. Of these 95 were spent itinerating from church to church. Some 5000 Ii were traveled, two thirds of it on foot. A trip t-o China, attending the Central Conference of China, a trip to Japan, and several trips to Seoul, attending Mission and Finance Committee meetings, make up the other days of absence from Pyeng Yang. 130 Sermons were preached, many prayer meetings led and when Saturday found me in Pyeng Yang the Sunday School lesson was taught to the some one hundred teachers in our city work. 20 Quarterly Conferences were held during the year. 35 days were spent teaching in Bible Institutes. Some three weeks assisting in revival efforts. The Pyeng Yang School and the Primary Schools over the District have taken no little part of my time. Yet the real work of the District has been done by the faithful efforts of the Korean Pastors. The District is composed of three of the Pyeng Yang city churches and 39 churches outside of the city. A total of 749 ptobatione..rs, 1589

58 1916] REPORTS 57 full members, 183 baptized children and 3491 seekers. This makes a total following of On account of careful reports to the government all church records were carefully pruned. Yet the total remains just about the same as last year. There are '39 Sunday Schools with total enrollment of This is 10% increase over last year. During the year there have been 149 baptisms. The total given by the native church for all items is Yen 8850 or $4425. This is an increase of 25%. About 1096' of this increase was in pastoral support. The large gain was in church building. Three village churches built fine tile roofed buildings costing some 1000 yen each. About one fourth of this was furnished by home friends the balance given by the native church. This means real sacrifice. The Christians did much of the work with their own hands. These churches have all doubled in attendance since the new buildings were erected. The Jacob Memorial Church at Chinnampo has had three village churches connected with it in the support of a pastor. This year"they have come to full self support and the village churches have taken a pastor of their own. Two other village churches that have been parts of circuits, have taken the support of separate pastors. One circuit of eight churches supported one preacher last year. This year they have increased self support so as to have three pastors. The Jacob Memorial Church at Chinnampo is the largest arid strongest congregation in North Korea outside the First Church at Pyeng Yang. It has a following of over 600 and a regular attendance of 550. The building is already too small and the problem now is to take care of the Sunday School even tho it meets in three sections. The second church which has branched off during the year has an attendance of 150. Next to this church Kang Sa and Chung San deserve special mention for advance in numbers and Spiritual Life during the year. Special mention should be made of the Children'S Sunday Schools that have been organized all over the work. Hundreds of children, both Christian and non-christian have been gathered into these schools. Many of them are now in our day schools. This work has been helped in a very real way by the use of the thous~nds of Picture Post Cards and left over Sunday School cards sent by friends in America. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you. After the large. central Bible Institute held in Pyeng Yang just after the Holidays, each of the 42 churches had a week or more of Bible Institute' and Revival. The daily program begins with an early morning prayer meeting, at This is often a preachiilg service and only

59 KOREA ANNUAL. CONFERENCE [MARCH; thirty minutes behind John Wesley. One church held this meeting every morning for three months. Another for six months without a break and during all this time there were three women who were present every morning. The day is spent in Bible study, the late afternoon in street preaching and the evening in revival service. This work is done by the Korean preachers assisted by picked laymen. These laymen give their time without salary. Some will spend two months of the year at this work. Almost two thirds of our Christians attend these Institutes. Confession of sin, infilling of the Spirit and preparation for the constant personal work of the year characterises these meetings. There are now i 7 Day Schools on the District. The report last year gave 19. However the attendance is now 779 as against 668 pupils last year. In other words the number of schools has decreased 10% and the number of pupils increased 17%. The average number of pupils per school last year was 35, this year it is of these 17 schools are helped with mission money. Smalr grants of from $2 to $10 per_month are given. Special gifts are needed for these schools. The Pyeng Yang Boy's School has three departments, the preparatory class of 45 which ought to be organized into a fully equipped kindergarten, the Potung, or first four years, with 207 boys and the Kotung, or second four years, with 84 boys. This is a total of 336. The school has had the best year of its history. The teachers have worked together with the greatest harmony. They continue faithful on very small salaries. As I can give but little personal supervision the school is a good test as to what the Koreans can do when responsibility is put upon them. The school has received $50 per month from the mission and the Koreans have given $60 per month. in tuition and special subscription. The time has come when an advance must be made. I have already obligated myself for $20 per month beyond the amount given by the Mission. This school already has had a large place in furnishing "workers for the great empire." A larger field of usefullness is at hand -if funds can be secured for equipment and yearly budget. This report closes with, thanksgiving to God for His abounding and unfailing mercies. The prospects are as bright as the promises of God. Friends whq have upheld us by their prayers and those who have helped to supply the unending financial needs, cannot be mentioned by name. 'Their names are written on our hearts as well as in the Lamb's Book of Life. The year before us is rich in opportunity. May it be tuller of prayer and life poured out in service than any year that has gone before. JOHN Z. MOORE, PYENG YANG, KOREA.._

60 1916] REPORTS 59 Yeng Byen District. VICTOR H. WACHS, District Evangelist. Another Conference is at hand, and we stop to take a brief retrospect of the years' work. We are unable to see any great advance at any point along the line. This does not mean that it has been a year of merely marking time. Under certain circumstances the mere act of holding the trenches is a great victory. Every trench has been held and some new ground has been gained. Two new groups have been started. Three new churches have been built, and property and material secured for two more. One of these church buildings was secured for little money because of the superstition of the village folk. It was an abandoned devil house which the township authorities wanted moved to make way for other buildings. No one would tear it down as they feared the spirits. At length it was offered to the Christians for about one sixth of its value, if they would tear it down and move it. To day the building that once served the devils is serving the Lord. Puk Chin is worthy of mention. A new stone church has been errected there at a cost of yen one thousand three hundred, of which all but about three hundred yen was given by the native church. Of that three hundred yen most of it was given by the american miners of the O. C. M. Co. living at Puk Chin. The largest gold mines in Korea are located at Puk Chin. There is an English speaking community, mostly Americans, of nearly one hundred. My predecessor C. D. Morris established friendly relations with these miners. We have tried to hold their friendship and turn their thots to spiritual things when opportunity presents. itself. I was much pleased to learn that after a sermon on Sabbath Observence, a group of Christian women with their husbands and others had begun to hold religious services on Sunday afternoons. We have been compelled because of lack of funds to close the medical work in Yeng Byen, but Yeng Byen district is not without a medical missionary. The O. C. M. Co. have long been doing the Good Samaritan act by treating everyone free of charge. Now this is being done by a doctor who is a Student Volunteer and a man of fine Christian character. Christian tracts are distributed in the hqspital, and prayer meetings are held with the patients. Our part in the battle has been that of a motorcycle messenger. We have visited the churches from one to three and in one case four times

61 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, during the year, traveling ovar 1,5:)D miles on motorcycle and about two hundred on p::my in thes3 visits. We held revival meetings at two places, and taught in two ten-day Bible classes at Yeng Byen. Even so we also when we have done all the things that are commanded us, say i "Weare unprofitable servants. " VICTOR H. WACHS Annual Report of LOUISA-HoLMES-NoRTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. A. H. NORTON, M. D. It is. rather difficult to write a report of a year's work in which the writer participated for only three months, but from the data at hand we will do the hest we can. During the thirteen months that I was off the field on furlo Dr. Choi Sung Kyu was in immediate charge of the medical work in this station and acted under the oversight of Dr. E. D. Follwell, of Pyeng Yang, and Miss Barlow, of this station. On my return I found things in good order and can only speak in terms of praise of those who thus kindly took charge of the work in my absence. During this period the in-patient work was practically in abeyance owing to the fact that the nurses were all absent studying in the Bible School in Seoul where we thought it wise to send them during our absence. However the dispensary work kept up very well and we are sure that it was much better than closing the work en~rely. Much of the credit is due to Miss Barlow who kept the accounts and was able to show a substantial balance when she turned them over. She also kept a close eye on the evangelistic side of the work. Since we opened the hospital in the fall we have had quite a number -of acute non-surgical cases, something which ~arely happened before, and we are hoping people will come to see that the hospital is the place to treat such cases. We consider these cases at least a mark of progress in this direction, but there is still much prejudice. to be overcome. This.arises from the foreign aspect of the place, but we believe this will pass away. We have also had two maternity cases as in-patients. This is a line of work that we hope to do more of and which our nurse equipment.makes possible.

62 1916] REPORTS 61 We try to make the atmosphere of the whole place and the attitude of each worker as distinctly evangelistic as possible. To this end, I am conducting a study class for helpers in The Acts and Epistles, striv-. ing to lay special emphasis on our responsibility as witnesses and pointing out the great evangelistic work done by the laymen. In addition to the helpers influence and testimony, the hospital preacher gives most of his time talking with those who are waiting, trying to explain the way and lead them into the kingdom. It is difficult to gauge tile results of all this effort and report it in figures. Nevertheless we have ample, though sometimes intangible, evidence of the Christian influence which emanates from our hospital, and it is our central purpose to combine the gospel message with our healing work, and also to do our best in spreading sanitary knowledge which will aid in the prevention of disease. Weare trying to lessen the number of the blind by showing the mothers how to care for the children's eyes, to show them that dirty heads become the scabby ones, that improper eating, not chance, is the cause of indigestion. That ventilation is not dangerous, neither is a bath,.and that pus is to be feared and destroyed, rather than carelessly planted in new soil. No Mission Hospital report would be complete without a statement of the needs. Probably the most satisfactory and efficient way of helping our work here will be to subscribe towards the salaries of our helpers. We would like to secure five more nurse scholarships. The free bed fund which began with a SUbscription of $100 from the Epworth League in Hudson, Mich., and has been used only to pay for the food for charity in-patients, no draft being made upon it for other expenses connected with them, is now in great need of replenishing. During the recent cold weather two facts were made very clear, one, our lack of bedding, and the other, the need of storm windows. We find it difficult to ~at the building on the windward side, and believe that a great saving of fuel could be effected by their use. Someone will surely want to supply the salary of the Bible Woman. REPORT OF THE NURSES TRAINING SCHOOL. The aim of our Training School is to train more efficient helpers, and to train nurses so that they will be able to go into the homes of their own people to give intelligent help in time of sickness. We began January first of this year, with three nurses and three male nurses. We are giving instruction this year in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Arithmetic, Practical Nursing, Japanese, English and Bible. The. class~s are supple-

63 62 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH~ men ted by daily demonstrations and practical experience in the wards and dispensary. Throughout the three years we plan to conform to the J4I.panese Government curriculum, besides giving as many other subjects as we can that will aid in the development of the nurses. Weare hoping to develop a system of visiting, so that the nurses by visiting in the homes can besides giving immediate help, also help to decrease the unwholesome condition which causes the spread of disease. It a few natives are trained to do this work, they can go out among their own people and be able to do a much more effectual work than we as foreigners can hope to do. All our nurses are Christians and active church workers. They are keenly' interested in the work and anxious to learn. If their present enthusiasm continues we will soon have some invaluable helpers in the Christian Medical work in Haiju. DELIA MAY BATTLES.

We have not accomplished large things from the standpoint of statistics this past year, but we have made an effort to do a good grade of work, and have tried to emphasize the spiritual side of the work.: Though far from satisfied with results, we have had results in both medicine.anti

64 1916]... REPORTS surgery, as well as in spiritual miracles. The m03t gratifying experience of the year is the witnessing of fruit of effort put forth two years ago. Soon after our arrival, a young boy was operated on and cured with the result that he and three brothers joined the church. One of these four boys, a young fellow of seventeen years, is a sincere Christian. He came to me last Sunday and asked if I could help him get an education, for he has a great ambition to study since he became a Christian and his parents are not willing to help him, preferring to have him stay at his job of interpreter in the local army barracks, and thus add to the income of the family. I asked him what his ambition is and he answered, "I have given myself to the Lord and I want to serve Him and the Church in any way whatsover." "Do you want to become a preacher?" I said. "Yes;" he answered. That is what I had been hoping and praying for, as he is a bright and promising young man and sincere Christian. Our joy is an the greater in this instance, since his conversion is a result of hospital work. Other results of our work, but none less real, can best be expressed in the words of one of our good spiritual members, a Bible Colporteur, who told Miss Hillman recently that "it is so much easier to preach and <>ur preaching is more effective since the hospital came to Wonju." We have been embarrassed during the past year by a shortage in helpers, especially nurses and a native doctor trained in Western medicine. On account of the present scarcity of funds, I did not like to put the burden of a doctor's support on the Mission budget, but I found that I could not defer the matter longer,. and consquently engaged a doctor, trusting that the Lord will provide.. his support in Special Gifts from friends. In this connection I wish to acknowledge my gratitude to friends, whose generous. gifts. made it possible to run the entire hospital last year with the aid of only about $35 from the regular Mission budget. I can't name the long list of givers, but every gift was highly appreciated. We had an interesting experience one day when a woman of 35 years came to the hospital telling us that she "had come to stay for good," having heard that there is a woman in the hospital (the nurse) who does "nothing but wait on God," and she wanted to join her, for her home life was very miserable.and she was determined to stay here or go to a Buddhist Temple" She staid.a couple of days but was finally persuaded to go home and make peace with her husband and by loving service make her own home a "heaven on earth." One. cannot but express one's joy at the prospect of worshipping in

65 64 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, a new church this year, also one's gratitude to God for quickened life among the Christians and for efforts made by them to bring the Gospel to the :patients in the hospital. Through the help of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, a Bible woman has been appointed to work chiefly in the clinic and in following up the women in. their homes. We appreciate this co-operation very much and look for large results from that work. It is a pleasure to record our appreciation of the diligence and faith_ fulness of all the hospital assistants. We look forward to the arrival shortly of our Korean doctor assistant, Dr. Woo, who comes very highly recommended as to character and ability. We also rejoice in the arrival of Miss Hillman of the W. F. M. S., whose presence has already been a benediction and an inspiration to us as individuals, and to the church and the whole work. Lastly, but most important of all, we record our thanks to God who has sustained and guided and given victory. Respectfully submitted, A. GARFIELD ANDERSON.

66 1916] REPORTS 65 Hall M{morial Hospital Report 1915-i9Ie. Twenty years have passed away since I first came to Py ng Yang. Leaving Seoul with the late Rev. H. G. Appenzeller I well remember that trip overland to Chemulpo riding all the way on the top of a Korean pack saddle. I do not forget, either, the journey by water from Chemulpo to Pyeng Yang and I well remember entering the city through the West Gate where we were kindly greeted by the little handful of Christians about ten in number. A dispensary was soon built, and later a f w roems for in patients and here we l[;.bon:d for nearly twenty years. As months and year's passed by we found out we needed a bettel' hospital though we waited in vain until eighteen months ago before our hopes began to be realized. Conditions have rapidly changed and the kind of hospital we had ten or even five years ago will not do to day if we aim at accomplishing the best possible. There are Govemment hospitals well equipped, and private ones too. The people are demanding better service from us, better nursing, better equipment. Our new building was commenced eighteen II!onths ago and completed last November but we did not commence work in it until January 17th. The building is of brick and three stories high. First floor, dispensary, kitchen, laundry etc., second floor for male and third floor for female in-patients. In all we can accomod,ate twenty one. Including heating and general equipment the total cost was twenty six thousand yen. The building has double floors and windows which keep us warm in the winter, The beds are foreign style and our patients say they are clean and comfortable. Everything is not yet complete but little by little we hope to make our hospital a place where the sick and weary can be made well and strong and our lives a blessing to many. It has been built for the purpose of showing Christian sympathy, kindness and love to those who enter its doors. It is not intended primarily for the church but as a means for it to use in bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a practical way to those who are not Christians, and we look to our Church in Korea to help our work by money, sympathy and prayer. During the ten months since last Conference we have treated 6,214 patients. Respectfully submitted, E. D. FOLLWELL. Union Methodist Theologieal Seminary.,. The past year has witnessed the completion and equipment of Gamble Memonal Hall and the new dormitory thus making the Union

67 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [MARCH, Methodist Theological Seminary one of the mq3t modern and well equipped plants of its kind in the Far East. The Institution has a faculty of seven professors, five foreign and two native. Of these, four are from the Methodist Episcopal Church. Instruction is given in five departments, Old Testament, New Testament, Systematic Theology, Homiletics and Practical Theology and Historical Theology. The student body is composed of nearly one hundred in the three years courses. This coming June a class of elevan wlll be graduated. The ihterest, enthusiasm and quality of the work done has been quite.satisfactory. The spiritual tone of the school is good. This has been proven by the quality of the work done by the students both in school and out on the districts. Many revivals and real Christian constructive work has been and is now being done by our students. Nearly all the men who have gone out from us are serving the church faithfully and some of them are conspicuously filling its highest positions. Our aim is two fold. First, to bring the men in a vital personal relationship with Christ and Secondly to train them for effective service. In Feburary of this year the Faculty of the seminary published its first number of the Theological World. T!1is is no doubt the youngest journal in the theological field, and we trust that it will meet a great need in the way of instructive and helpfulliteratul'e. During the remainder of this year it will be published quarterly as the funds in hand do not warrant a mdnthly. It is our purpose how -ever, to make it a monthly just as soon as the funds will permit. During the past year the Student Help department has been able to assist several needy students. However, it is not our purpose to gratuitously help any man. It must be distinctly understood thai any student who receives help must render an equivalent in work.. The year before us promises to be one of the best in the history of the school. With.,gr~at faith in God and confidence in the church we take up the tasks of tha new year. Respectfully submitted, E.

If Our Bible School is to succeed it must have the hearty co-operation of all our pastors. The number in attendance this year is less than that of last year. There is an enrollment of 34 this term. The new building which we hoped to have completed last year is still under construction and in the meantime the School is occupying quarters at the Union Methodist Theological Seminary. The new Building will be ready for use in September of this year. The.teachingf0rce has been the same as last year. One student came to us who had had several years of training for the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church and who came to ~s seeking the light, a feeling of unrest being aroused by a book published.by one of our native Dist. Superintendents on the fallacies of the Roman Church. The course of instruction has been enlarged during the past year and in addition to courses in the Bible, light courses in doctrine, history, geography, and methods of study and work have been inserted. Language Committee Report. Miss Bail' and Mr. Wachs have satisfactorily completed the third years work and the committee recommends that they be graduated from the course. Mrs. C. S.

70 1916] REPORTS 69 Hyen Soon has acted this past year under his appointment as Superintendent of Sunday Schools and has given the following report of his work. "Altho my appointment to the work in the Sunday School field came to me as a surprise at the last Conference I have taken up the work with a deep conviction of its importance and with gratitude for the opportunity of exerting my energies in this noble work. Without challenging attention it is the nbvious fact that the Sunday School is the child of the Church and the Church i's the mother of the Sunday School. It is the bounden duty for the mother to take care of her child and the church to take care of the Sunday School. Among the many great problems before the Christian Churches in this country the Sunday School work must be considered a~ the first, for it is of vital importance in building the Masters Kingdom in Korea. One of our oriental proverbs says that if profit for one year is desir ~d a man should plant corn but if for 10 years he should plant trees. The Sunday School however has in view the profit not only of 10 years but 100 and 1,000 years in the work of the Kingdom of ChriRt. The visit of Dr. Hartman last year was one of great historical importance for the Sunday School work in our Methodist Church in Korea. He studied the conditions thoughly and carefully and through his representation the Board of Sunday Schools in America made an appropriation for the building up and development of this valuable work in Korea.
