46 1921] REPORTS 113 Reports of District Superintendents. Chemulpo District. o KUI SYUN, District Superintedent The work of the district this year has gone on with success even though there have been no marked or spectacular pieces of work. The Superintendent has held the regular Quarterly Conferences and aside from this has travelled on'several of the other districts giving lectures on his trip to America and helping and preaching in the district classes. In particylar we would like to commend the steady growth and reorganization of the Church in Chemulpo city. Under the able leadership of Kim Chin Ho the church has had a prosperous year and the young men have gotten under the various church burdens in a really spjendid way. In March the Youngheung circuit lost its faithful pastor, the local preacher Lim Yun Meuk. His son though a Christian.had not up to the time of his father's death been active in the work of the church, but moved by the leaderlessness of the flock after his father was taken he did whll.t he could to fill the vacancy. But it was not until this Conference that a new pastor could be appointed. The work on the Kangwha South circuit under the guidance of Yi Chin Hyung has had a good year and a new group has been formed. The pastor at Samaan, Yi Tong Eung, stirred up the interest of his community to such an extent that they subscribed three thousand five hundred yen for a primary school and a group of some sixty boys was organized and the services of two teaehers secured. May this grow into the much needed school. At Heungchun they are much in need of the school building which has been promised by the Centenary. Already the school has gone way past the hundred mark and the little thatch mud rooms are overcrowded. The native subscriptions will be forthcoming as soon as there is a definite proposition to construct. In like manner at Choomoon the money for the new church building has been subscribed now for two years and is waiting for the Centenary funds before construction is possible. At Kangwha city the people are interested as much as ever in the Higher Common School project and pray earnestly for its realization. (per H. D. A.) Chunan District. F. E. C. WILLIAMS, Superintendent. In the absence of the Superintendent the District Missionary attej.llpts t~ formulate the report of the work of Chunan District.

47 114 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., Statistics: The statistics may be misleading for they cover a period of eighteen months from January 1920 to June 1921 wh~n the Superintendent left for America, but the marked advance along all lines is encouraging. Comparing last year's report' with this year's there is an increase of 200% in self-support, 100% in the number of baptisms, 32% in the number of probationers, 40 % increase in the number of seekers, and 23% increase in the total number of adherents. The Sunday School statistics show an increase of 53 % in enrollment and of 37 % in average attendance. The total receipts on the field are 171% higher than in any previous report, the giving being yen per full member and yen 4.83 per adherent. New Work: The new church at Chin Chun is now well established. They have bought a good building practically without help and from the first have given yen 15 per month for the pastor's salary. The small group at Sung Whan have also purchased a place of worship. Chunan city is asking for an assistant pastor who can teach in a night school and promises 40 yen a month for his support. The District Conference adopted a plan for' a missionary collection each month to be used to help open new work in the unoccupied centers of the District. The churches are thus realizing the missionary at our very doors. Bible Classes: Of the 519 women and girls enrolled as believers on the District 400 studied in special Bible Classes, and 186 of the 595 men also studied. Mrs. Swearer's untiring work in teaching in twelve classes for women is of note. The District Missionary taught in eight classes and the Superintendent conducted the large class at Eum Sung. Superintendent: Mr. Williams, although principal of the High School at Kongju was untiring in his labors for the District and his speedy return is the hope and prayer of all. (per C. C. A.) Haiju District. V H. WACHS, Superintendent. ~t is a remarkable coincident that Christian civilization rose like the sun in the east and has been traveling westward around the world, while other great faiths have traveled, and judging from their fruit, backward into the night. Just so the work on this distriet stretching from east to west along the southern coast of Whang Hai Province, rose in the east and travelled westward. Already some of the churches on the east seem to have passed into the twilight and to be affected with drowsiness, while some of the circuits on the west seem scarcely to have awakened from the long night of heathen darkness. Starting at the east end of the district, I would like to take you itinerating with me for a while. Puknando is one of six churches on the East Yun Paik circuit. In

48 1921] REPORTS 115 the readjustment a year ago when the circuits were redivided after having been combined to meet shortage of preachers, the preacher in charge of this circuit was left with a very inadequate salary, only 28 yen a month if he gets it all. Notwithstanding he has been quite faithful to his task. In spite of a good crop a year ago, low prices was the excuse for not paying the preacher in full. Now that this summer's crop has been a failure, it will be difficult to make up deficiencies. Going north six miles from the main road which runs from east to -Nest through the district, we come to the old country seat of Paik Chun, the most conservative town on the district. This town can boast of one contrast with the new country-seat that is to its credit. It has no licensed brothels. There is no church on the district where the District Superintendent is better entertained than at this one, no church has kept its pastor longer or been more loyal to him, nor can any other church on the district boast of more local preachers per capita, yet it seems to be suffering from arrested growth. Returning south to the main road and travelling six miles farther on west we come to the county-seat of Yunpaik, the largest town outside of Haiju on the district, a town of riotous living, and great opport. unity. From being a women's church two years ago it has come to be a young men's church; the self support has doubled in that time. There are three other small churches on this circuit. They suffer somewhat from the loss of the "Balance of Power." Going south from Yunpaik, we come to a real country circuit. There are five churches on this circuit. They are all well filled on Sundays and the one at Nuchichi is too small to meet the needs. During the past year this circuit has supported its pastor without help from the Mission. So many people in Nuchichi are becoming Christians that a wine merchant was compelled to close his shop and leave for lack of trade. Back again to the main road, and another five or six miles western and we are in the midst of the Yunpaik West circuit. This circuit under the enthusiastic leadership of its preacher in charge, Hong Syun Whan, has had a prosperous year. One new group has been started and one of the new believers has built a new meeting house for the group. The next circuit on our way is the Haiju West circuit. The outstanding material improvement on this circuit is the new church at Pamnamukol. A new prayer room was built, on the island of Y okmal. An increase in total adherents of 161 is reported. We are glad to report to the church in America the gains in self support on a church membership, but we are exceedingly unfortunate if this leads anyone to think the time is near at hand when the native church can get along without the aid of the missionary. I believe the day of the individual missionary who is "Jack of all trades" is P1}.ssing with this generation, and the day of Missionary communities is here. I ~now of no place where a missionary community wquld h ave a better

49 116 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., opportunity ot impress itself on the community life about it than in this city of Haiju, and yet there is no community here yet. The medical and educational work have reached a crisis. Unless the hyper-advertised Centenary comes' to our aid soon, our opportunity will pass and the turnover in our missionary forces will be accellerated. A second doctor and enlargement of plant are imperative if that work is not to degenerate. Shall I again mention the school house that has been promised for the last ten years? Until these things come it is useless to ask for more, but a man for school, city, Sunday School, and young people's would be great addition to our community. It has been a delight to work with the local pastor, Pak Kay Wha, and his industrious assistant. Really au]' district ought to be credited with yen 720 more per year for self support, for Brother Pak supports himself and does just as faithful work as any pastor in the Conference. During our absence last summer the assistant pastor Whang Ilok Su was arrested on a political charge and has since been sentenced to a year and a half. While there is much sadness in the church because of this, there is much rejoicing because of good reports everybody is able to give of the progress made in the work. It is not my privilege to spend a great deal of time in the city so I must not keep you there long. Nine miles to the west on a good road brings us to the home of the preacher in charge of the West Circuit. This is located in Chuia, a town that has not heard of the eighteenth amendment. If the town were to become Christian it might cease to be for the chief source of livelihood is selling liquor. The preacher is not confined t~ this unprom.jsing soil, for he has a wide field to range over. Going on to Ongjin (warm springs) we can take a hot bath, and take a look at the new church that is being' built, and that will need ~entenary money to finish it as it should be. Kahg Nyung circuit is the only circuit that reports a loss in membership. This is due to the activity of the police in persecuting and prosecuting political offenders, "while the morphine venders do a thriving business. While we have been flying about over the district on my motorcycle, Miss Barlo.w has been patronising tha jitney and rickshaws, and often faking long trips on foot, holding Bible classes and marshalling her force of Bible Women. Mrs. Norton bas had ample scope for her diplomatic powers, in keeping the Girls' School supplied with teachers and funds, Mrs. Wachs has been kept pretty busy teaching our own children, but has kept in touch with the Korean work by teaching music in the schools and teaching a class in the Sunday School. Our district class held "in February was the largest class ever held tn the district. Brother Burdick, 0 Kui Sun, and Pai Hyung Sik were with us and made~ large contribution to the-success of the class,' but it

AN KYUNG NOK, Superintendent. Since the last Conference I have been, by God's grace, kept in good health. My work since the Conference has been as follows: The District: The distance from North to South 480 Ii; from East to West 220 Ii. The district is divided into five circuits. There are 44,029 houses, and the population is 242,071. There are thirteen public schools in the district, and one private school. There are 260 old fashioned Chinese schools, or Keul pangs. The total number of students is 3,856, an d th~re are 50 studying outside the district, many of them in our Christian schools. 85 % of the population are farmers. The mountains are high, the waters are deep, the roads very bad, and since there ar~ no vehicles one has to walk mile after mile. Since my appointment last year I have visited every town in my district, and in consultation with Mr. Morris have appointed preachers to their right places. We have on our district the following workers: one member of conference in addition to myself, eight local preachers, 13 exhorters, and 25 class leaders. I have spent ::1 months teaching Bible classes in different places. I travelled over the district three times holding the quarterly conferences, and during the year travelled a total of 8,860 Ii. At the request of civil officials and citizens I invited two lecturers, one missionary and one Bible woman, to give lecturers to our people in the district, and as a result the people were much enlightened. Six students from the Union Christian College in Seoul also came, and did much good. During the summer we held a preacher's class and Sunday School Convention, and we also were benefitted by visits of members of the Kwan Tong students society. Our new church in Kang Neung was completed the end of July. It isa fine 25 kan building. The old church building is being used a kindergarten. There is a house for the preacher, and soon there will be a place for the tr.avelling missionaries. Five families in Sam Chuk built a church without any help fnm outside. On the Kang Neung circuit two

51 118 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE SEPT.; prayer places have been opened, and one will have a church building soon, having collected for that purpose already. One out of 145,persons in Kang Neung county is a believer. In Sam Chuk county one out of 374 persons is a believer. A temperance society was started there three years ago, and has now 250 members. On Ulchin circuit one out of 143 of the population is a believer. There is great need for the church building in the county seat. The old building is too small, and it is also being used for l::l kindergarten. One new church has been started, and funds are in hand towards a building. Chyung Syun, which is in the most mountaineous part of in Korea, has one Christian to every 372 persons. Last year the church was very weak but the attendance has now doubled~ On the Pyung Hai circuit there is one believer to every 158 of the population. The work is prospering in this section. May we have the force necessary for saving the people of this whole Kang Neung District. Kongju District. CORWIN TAYLOR, Superintendent. During the past year a great deal of emphasis has been put on the support of the native ministry, and on revival meetings. We had hoped for a large increases in the giving along all lines, but the, big drop in prices and wages modified our plans materially, One of the circuits was without pastoral oversight for several months and on another circuit the paying off of old debts made advances very difficult. At the beginning of the conference year the pastors were called together and it was decided to hold special meetings all over the District wherever possible. The men were divided into groups of threes and three months was to be given to this work. As a matter of fact however something over two months was actually devoted to this work and with splendid results, the attendance and interest shown being for above what we have generally had. _ While the Kongju church is the only one on entire self support as yet, there are several others that are doing well and the happy day is near when they will assume entire support of their preachers and Bible women as well. Church building has been the order of the day on some of the circuits, on the Tangchin work one new church built, one building bought and remodeled, at Saws an a fine new building which the farmers left their work in the spring to help build, at Hongju city a fine meeting place that will seat over 300 people and adequate accomodations for the pastor* and help~rs. Chungyang one new church built, one good tile roofed building given for church purposes, and a large part of the debt on the parsonage paid off.

52 1921] THE JOURNAL 119 The interest in school work of all kinds has been most gratifying. We now have our fine new building at Kongju completed and ready for use; it will furnish an opportunity for the boys of this District to ~< at.tend a higher common school without going to Seoul or elsewhere and will give impetus to the training of local leaders. Brother Williams has worked hard and waited long for this necessary part of his equipment in helping to educate our boys, and we rejoice with him in the fulfillment of this hope. The girls' schools are more than holding their own and lack of room alone hinders their expansion, our boys schools at Kangkyungpo has an attendance of over 100 and we must' have a new building for them soon the church and local constituency are supporting the school as never before and when buildings and ground are secured the permanency of the school will be assured. New kindergartens have been started this year at Kangkyungpo, and Hongju and several other places are asking for one. There is a large opportunity to reach the older people through the kindergarten but the greatest results will be in reaching the children themselves. The increased giving, new church buildiags, interest in schools and kindergartens, good results from the revivals and classes held for Bible study all give us cheer and we look forward to a b'ig advance intellectually, materially, and spiritually this coming year. Pyeng Yang District. J. Z. MOORE, Superintendent. Leaving on furlough the last of June this report is but a general review of the District. CHURCH BUILDING. The church building campaign of last year has been carried over into this year. This campaign was started under the inspiration of the Centenary Movement in America. On account of no appropriations being made for church building from regular Centenary funds and few special gifts received that could be turned to church building, this campaign has been carried on in the large by the Koreans themselves. Many of these village church building enterprises were started with the understanding that help would come from America. When word came that there could be no appropriation for this work dismay filled our ranks. We had visions of half-built churches, rottiqg tim':>ers and discouraged congregations. Howev..:r our feara were unfounded. Not one of these church building enterprises failed on account of lack of funds from America. Everyone was brought to completion and when I left the field in June there were nine churches waiting for dedication. In spite

53 120 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE SEPT., of unsettled conditions the people gave of their money and tim. as never before. Some sold their fields, one man sold his ox, women sold their long braids of extra hair, their wedding rings and other silver ornaments. Whole families did without their midday meal and many spent hours after the day's work in the fields that they might give both money and labor to the building of the churches. The District Superintendent, moved to shame over the failure of his American church to help, as well as over his own lack of sacrifice, sold the old Ford that had 2"iven such splendid service over th~ whole district, and with the money helped out a hundred yen here.two hundred yen there, in the most needy places. Just when we dispaired as to the last of these churches the Waysung or Fifth Church in Pyeng Yang City a designated gift came through tne Board f:rom one of our faithful friends in America. Thus what might easily have been a Centenary failure proved to be the finest fruit of the year's work. EVANGELISM. Preaching bands, house-to-housepreaching and spedal Bible Study and evangelistic services have been the order of the day. Our District Bible:lnstitute the first of the year was attended by over 400 men wher~ we usually have only about 200. Seventy-five of these Bible.Classes were held on the district of from one to two weeks each. The total enrollment was 5,450 in the study classes, with many more at the evening preaching services. Over 3,000 new believers were enrolled at these~services during January and February. New believers have continued to come almost every Sunday at many of the churches. INSTITUTIONS. 1. The Pyeng Yang High School for Boys. After the turmoil of the past two years it has been a real pleasure to help with the steady growth and fine wor,k of the High School. I have had general oversight and Mrs. Moore has taught English the entire year. Mr. Kim, tbe Prtncipal, has had a hard task in his effort to please both the Government Officials and the Koreans, but has had a most successful year. At the beginning of the new year we could take in but 130 new students but had over 400 applicants. With the splendid new building, provided through the Centenary from America, we will SOon have 500 students. 2. The Primary Day Schools. We have started more new schools and have a larger total attendance than for many years. The Koreans are convinced that only as the masses are educated can there be any real progress. Wit~ only about 10% of the children of scpool age in school there is a determined effort on the part of the Koreans themselves to increase both the number of schools and the attendance. The district is now giving sonu Yen 1,500 per month ;for the support of the primary s@ol~~._._

54 1921] REPORTS The Kindergartens. The three of last year have increased to six. The field here is without limit. There is no finer opportunity to touch life at its fountain than here. The need is for buildings and equipment and money for the support and training of Korean teachers. 4. The High School for Girls. Here we now have 100 girls and only await missionaries, money fdr equipment and buildings to increase the number grade of training many fold. 5. The Hospital. The Hall Memorial is now a union plant with the Presbyterian Mission and plans on foot for the union to include the W F. M. S. hospital. With Drs. Anderson and Bigger in charge this has been the best year's work ever done in the 26 years of Hospital work in Pyeng Yang. The beds are full and many have been turned away for lack of room. This last has b3en the best of this seven-year term in Korea. Many changes have come. Some of the faithful have finished their tasks and passed on. Some I suppose have fallen by the wayside but the whole trend has been upward and onward. Aside from any political aspect the Independence Movement has awakened the people from the sleep of ages. The walls are broken down, the gates are not only open but off their hinges, the awakened people with open, eager hearts await the coming of new day of peace and prosperity. The leaders, Christian as well as many of the non-christian, look to Christianity and the school with Christian spirit as only hope of a better day. If Korea is a dagger pointed at the heart of Japan, the danger is not only what that dagger might do in the hands of another or in Korea's own hands, another danger of that dagger is that with it Japan might commit suicide. Let that dagger be turned into the sword of the Lord and then it will be the salvation not only of 17,000,000 Koreans but of Japan as well. Thus Korea, the key to the Orient, (will unlock the things that make for life and real1iberty for all nations of the Far East.) Seoul District. CHOl PYUNG HUN, Di8trict Superintendent. Condition of the church; First, as regards the outside forces there are so many other churches and institutions working in this the capital that we too of the church must take the like to forestall their prosleytiug endeavors. Secondly, as to the inner life of the church~ we are in a day when not only here but on all the districts the youth are taking things into their hands and are saying that the church is not doing its business and is not up to the times, that preachers are not meeting the needs and preachers-in their turn are not welcoming the youth. There are these conditions.) At YiwhawoD, Yukchulli and S~ngarp.ni the disturbances of two

55 122 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., years ago had.deprived the congregations of pastors and in'some cases even of their buildings but they have gotten together again and reclaimed that which they lost and are in a thriving new condition. At First Church they held a big revival this yeae and as a product of that meeting have collected several thousand yen for the purpose of enlarging the chur~h. Mead Memorial chur<!h has raised four thousand yen and built a row of buildings in the front of the property the rent from which is used in running the primary school long in connection with that church. Further a new group has been formed and a property purchased at Hooamni thru the efforts of this church. At Chongno they have huilt a new parsonage. At East Gate church they have taken over the entire support of their pastor. The rest of the churches on the district have come thru the year with a fair measure of succes. The labors of the superintendent have been along the usual lines of baptizing where there is none but a local preacher in charge, preaching on Sundays, holding the Conference and a monthly meeting for preachers and the like. Suwon District. Cuor PYUNG HUN, District Superintendent. There are thirty one churches on this district which has been in its present form only since last Conference, at which time it was newly organized. The church at Suwon has had a good year, reporting an increase in membership of 57 and in finances of 2,127. At Osan the self-support has increased nicely. At Chaiam the church suffered so during the disturbances that now the faith of the few remaining women has been sorely tried. They are persecuted constantly by the unbelievers and in this place especially the church at Suwon is bending its efforts. At Namyang they have collected 325 this year for the church building and parsonage and of 'this amount 120. was contributed by a poor widow who Elold a rice field to make the gift. At Ansan they have had a prosperous year. There are two places on the district where it is imperative that a pastor in charge be sent if the churches are to advance at all. On this district as on the Seoul district the superintendent has performed the duties of his office. Wonju and Yi Ch~n Districts. C. D. MORRIS, Superintendent. Last year I opened my report with the words "the Conference year of eleven months has pa.ssedquickly," and this year the same words

56 1921] REPORTS 123 may be repeated for the eleven months now closing have been as filled with duties that almost before we. felt the work was well begun the time has come to report on it. Last Conference brought to me a real surprise. The large Suwon District was divided, and the new Yi Chun district was given to me. The Kang Nung district, on the east coast, was given Bro. An Kyung N ok, who has done heroic service. I have given him what help I could and I rejoice in the completion of the new church on probably the finest site in Kang Nung. This beautiful new church building was made possible through the Centenary appropriations. Bro. An will report his own work as SuperintendEcnt. On my return from Conference I tried to get all the preachers moved quickly to their new appointments, and in December I held the first quarterly conference on the Yi Chun district. To one who had spent the immediately preceding years tramping ever the mountains of Kang Won Do it was charming to travel over the Yi Chun district with the fine roads, and large population. Having had an opportunity in the past to see a large part of our Korean territory I can frankly say that I have seen nothing more promising, and if it can be adequately worked there will not be any question about the results. The churches are easily reached, and the number of large towns hidden away among the hills are a constant surprise. The cordial welcome I received from all the good people warmed my heart. In January we held the men's class in Yi Chun which the brethren said made a record in attendance. The testimony meeting on the closing evening, which lasted two hours, was an index to the real help received by those who studied. During the spring a forward movement was organized by the pastors. Special revival meetings have been held at a number of places, which the pastors report were a blessing to many. One thing to be regretted is that while the work has had a long history very few have entered the ministry from among the membership on that district. I will make special efforts to remedy this. There is now only one member of conference and one probationer. I am happy to report that one of our best young men is recommended for admission on trial this year, and we earnestly hope that hereafter each year will see more coming up for admission. An important adjustment was made in the Chae Chun circuit since Conference. It was found that both the Chae Chun and Choongju circuits were so large that the pastors could not properly care for the churches, and so these two circuits were rearranged and in addition the Mokkei circuit was organized. fhis gives each pastor an opportunity to give the several churches the care they need. Our heroic old Chang Chyun Myun was appointed to Chun Yang last year. This good brother has been instrumental in raising up more churches than parhap3 any other pastor in Korean Methodism. Chun

57 124 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., Yang had a building where the pastor lived, but for about fifteen years there have not been regular services, as during a severe trial the church died out. Bro. Chang, with the ardor of a youth, determined that this condition should not continue, arid when I visited Chun Yang last Spring I preached to a congregation of over 40 people who had been regularly attending for some months. It was a great disappointment to everyone at District Conference that illness prevented Bro. Chang from attending, and there was earnest prayer that he may be quickly restored to health, and have years' of still further fruitful service. His grandson received his local preacher's license at this district conference. On all the circuits there has been advancement. In Kyungan, the new county seat of K wangju county, a valuable property has been secured for the site of a new church. Miss Miller's transfer to another field was a deep regret to all the friends on Yi Chun district who have known her for so many years. Her long sacrificial service will long be remembered. Miss Scharpff has been cordially welcomed, and we trust will be richly blessed in her labors in that field. In Wonju city the most striking event has been the securing of the largest tile residence in the center of the town. The large guest room has been remodelled into a beautiful kindergarten building, and the other buildings are being used for classes, and other purposes. An additional Sunday School will probably be organized later. This plant puts us down in the very center of the population, and gives us a footing for work that we have not had before. The district men's class was held in January with a good attendance. Special efforts by the pastor in Wonju resulted in reaching a number of young men who have recently been baptized. Dr. Anderson's removal to Pyeng Yang was a big blow to the whole district. We have however succeeded in keeping the hospital open, and many have secured relief from their physical ills. Each of the pastors on the district has kept busy at his task. -Chae Chun circuit was added to Yi Chun district last year, and Chyung Syun to Kang Nung district. The transferring of these two circuits from Wonju district makes some of our statistics appear as if there has been a decrease in some phases of the work, but in reality there has been growth. We close the year with a thankful- heart for 'good health, and the privilege of having the opportunity to serve. Yeng Byen District. G. M. BURDICK, Superintendent. The. beginning of the Conference year was heralded by the outbreak of fresh political troubles. The first news to greet me was the rumor that K,ang Si Pong newly appoin~ed to the Cha Pai Circuit, had, been ar~ested

58 1921] REPORTS 125 at the time of his first visit to his new circuit. The rumor was only too true; and his arrest was soon followed by conviction of activity in the independence movement, and s~ntence to five years imprisonment. Including the pastor just mentioned thrte pastors have been in jail during the year leaving one circuit without pastor for ten days, one other circuit for two months, and two more circuits for three months each. In addition to these pastors one Bible woman, one colporteur, and five other local preachers one for a second time, and many prominent men and women in the church, from periods varying from a few days to two weeks a month or longer, have been in jail; and four or five of the number still remain there. These disturbances and arrests have extended to ten out of the twelve pastoral charges of the District. Even more serious and hurtful to the work has been the outbreak of gross immorality, including adultery and theft, among official and leading members of the church in several circuits. Truly these times through which we are passing are such as stir the passions to their lowest depths and show what is in the hearts of men. Condition like these through which we have passed have been sufficient to overthrough any but a God founded church. The church has been shaken. Terrible harm has come. But still the church remains, Chastened and we hope somewhat more purified. During the year twelve preachers, of whom five are full members of Conference and one a local deacon, have done the work of the circuits. Two colporteurs and ten Bible women have been at work. Among the force of Bible women one woman has been expelled from the church and one new Bible woman, also from Pyeng Yang has been secured and placed on the Cha Pai circuit. In the general Bible class for men held December 29 to January 7, Rev. B. W. Billings gave us much appreciated assistance and inspiration. Rev. V. H. Wachs travelled over the distrirt with me by motorcycle, undergoing many hardships, but making possible a quick trip for the holding of all of the fourth quarterly conferences, he himself often helping out with helpful talks and sermous. Two special prea~hing campaigns on the Cha Pai Circuit, with speakers from pyeng Yang, have been conducted. These campaigns resulted in many conversions and quickening to the whole circuit. Early in the summer a preaching band of students from Syenchun Presbyterian boys' school passed through one section of the District. In January Rev. 0 Keui Syun, of Chemulpo, held a series of evangelistic meetings for five days in Pook Chin. Early in J ulya band consisting of several teachers, pupils, and forme r graduates of the Yeng Byen boys' school made a tour of five churches on the District. One of the most helpful meetings of the year was the summer conference held at the Buddhist temple on the mountain in Yeng Byen. We were fortu~ate in securing Rev. Chang Nak ~Do, of the Theological

59 126 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., School and Rev. 0 Keui Syun, Superintendent of Chemulpo District, to help. Their teaching and sermons on the great Christian doctrines lead the listeners to renewal of consecration, and produced the conversion of a young man sitting in one of the near-by rooms, who had come to the temple for the summer for rest and recovery of health. Our schools had now better promise than at any time since my connection with the District Conference at its session just held, looking towards the raising of a yen 25, endowment fund among both.christian and non-christians in the territory sewed by the school, the cam paign to begin as soon as government permit can be secured should lead the mission to reconsider its action calling for the closing of the school; and to continue to the school such support as, added to the income from the endowment, will assure the school an honorable future. The Diskict Conference pledged its efforts to raise among the churches of the District yen 3, After a year of many trials and difficulties Miss Salmon left on furlough in August. Since her departure Miss Miller, whose burdens were already too heavy, has had, for the balance of the Conference year the added load of looking after the schools. Among the many anxieties which this troubled year has brought, has been the prospect of closing the "station" at this conference session. The timely arrival of Rev. and Mrs. Charles Sauer, at the eleventh hour as it were, with their promised appointment of Yeng Byen, has saved the District and the Mission from an inetrievable disaster. The crowning of the year with thjs new hope makes compensation for many a night during the past year through which no brightness shone. Also the closing months of the year have.brought joy to the Yeng Byen District in the news that, Miss Estey was about to return to the Korean work. No other District could ever offer to her quite the welcome this, her own District, always will have to offer her. On the District I have made 13 trips covering a period of 81 days and have made 46 visits to churches and Christian groups. I have travelled out of a total of (j,2051i, 3,485li on foot, held 21 Quarterly Conference, 1 District Conference, taught in one District Bible Class., besides teaching for one week in the general Bible Class in Haiju. This year, with special gift through the Centenary, we have purchased building site for church building at the new Yang Tuk County seat, and the Murray Memorial Chappel, given by Mrs. F. C. Curtiss, Charlotte, Mich., in memory of her mother, is already in process of building. Besides this Centenary building, with only small contributions from foreigners, with church funds in hand, or with fresh contributions, a new church building has been erected in Mu Chang, an old residence bought for church at Chang Chai Kol, a new parsonage built at Undan Kol, the parsonage repaired, with addition, and the boys' school building removed and rebuilt. at Pook Chin.

60 1921] REPORTS 127 Report for Paichai Haktang and Higher Common Schoo), Seoul, Korea, November H. D. ApPENZELLER, Principal. This report covers the time from the beginning of this calendar year until the present date. My connection with Paichai began the first week of January in the capacity of a teacher. At that time Dr. C. S. Deming was principal. There were about four hundred students of whom thirty five were graduated in March, seven from the "Haktang" or old charter course, and twenty eight from the "Higher Common School" or government recognized part of the school. It will be evident from this that we are operating under a double charter, the latter matriculating students to certain higher schools without examination and otherwise recognized by the government. In this department Bible may not be taught in school hours of in the registered building, but it is taugh~ outside of hours and in another building. The new redtation hall, corresponding to Appenzeller Hall was ready for occupancy in April and enabled us to receive an entering class of three hundred, bringing our high mark for students matriculated at seven hundred and forty eight. This number has since been reduced by various causes to seven hundred and twenty seven. There were eleven hundred and eighty three applicants for admission in March, from which the above three hundred were selected. And again in September there were one hundred and eighty two applicants from whom thirty eight were taken. All the schools of all grades are overcrowded in Korea now. Paichai is now the oldest and largest private school in all Korea. We received our permit to become principal again in May and from that time have been in charge. During May we held a week of special evangelistic services at which about five hundred stood in decision to make Christ their leader. With the large influx of students this year we find ourselves with only half of them as enrolled Christians and our task truly is great. We have about two hundred enrolled for Bible study on Sunday mornings in preparation for church membership. Financially we have been receiving more than half of our support from native sources in fees. Our teaching staff on the pay roll is eighteen only, and we have been most ably assisted by other missionaries in English classes. This March we expect to graduate about eighty. 'fhe principalship has; through no fault of anyone concerned, had to be changed so frequently through the past two years, five different persons having occupied that position, that we feel the lack of a policy and much of our effort has been spent intrying to correlate the energies of the faculty, energies which have been no less splendid because inclined to be individual.

61 128 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., The flower of Korean youth is at our doors. May they be brought to fruitage in Christ. Korean Local Preacher's Relief Society. 1. Name: Local Preacher's Relief Society of Korea Conference. (~~~s:.ti.%..~ tl=f$.j1) 2. Object: rhat the object of this society be to extend relief to local preachers, and their. families, who have served the church as preachers in charge of circuits for ten years or more. (Those who have served less that ten years to be relieved according to the ability of the district on which they have served.) 3. The officers are to be president, secretary, and treasurer. The committee to be composed of two members of conference and two laymen from each district. 4. The funds of the society to be raised by each church sending to the treasurer of society Dne third of the Christmas offering. In addi 'tion, funds are to be secured from individual as there may be opportunity. 5. The money as collected to be sent to treasurer who ret1ll'ds receipt for same. 6. Funds are to be distributed according to the local conditions by,a, vote of the society, either as one grant only, monthiy allowance, or the preceeds of land purchased by funds of society. 7. Relief to be extended to preachers who are entitled to such, and after their death to the widows, and to children up to 20 years of age. 8. Officers are elected for a term of one year to serve until conference; the committee of four from each district to be nominated by District Superintendent and approved by conference. 9. The above to take effect after December Report of Lovisa-Holmes-Norton Memorial Hospital. Oct. 1st 1920 to Aug. 31st The period covered by this report is eleven months during which the work has continued without interruption or other incident worthy of sp~cial note. There has been a good increase in the 'size of the clinic especially toward the latter part of the period. Though often rather intangible and hard to express in words, there are a good many indications that our institution is steadily gaining favor, and the helpers are unanimous in the belief that the prospect for increased work and infiuence is progressively brighter. However there are those who try to obey instructions and cooperate in the treatment and when they leave are thankful, and it is gratifying to know that this class is on the increase. As here-to-fore the nursing remains our hardest problem. The girls obtainable as pupils usually lack the force necessary to make themselves obeied by the. patients and if

62 1921] REPORTS 129 they try are considered cross and forward. This trouble will be lessened when the work is in charge of. a competent foreign superintendent Much of the time the last year we have not had even a competent Korean head nurse. Now we have one with considerable pep and we have hopes. Dr. Kim Yung Jin has been with us since April and gives promise of being a success. He has the temperament which makes friends, and this to my mind is of even greater consequence than learning, not meaning however that he is short on the latter. So many a young M. D. has such amhypertrophied ego that he is nearly rendered useless. The rest of our staff remains very much as it was except that we have sent our pharmacist to Seoul to study for a license in that line of work, and we still maintain one medical in Severance who will be graduated in The beneficence of the Centenary has affected us in our appropriation, but as yet we haven't the hospital annex which we are now sorely needing. We have turned away many patients this summer for lack of accommodations and have to use the operating room for all sorts of dressings and treatments as well as the bathroom for a general depository for the janitor's outfit of brooms and mops. The need of a water supply is still acute and should precede the building enlargement. But of all the needs, the most acute is another doctor to take the place of the present incumbent while on furlough and then continue on as coworker in the future development of the institution. We are glad to say that we have the promise of a nurse in the immediate future. The religious side of our work is not forgotten. The Bible woman improves her opportunities to speak to the women and also visits in the homes. We keep supplied with tracts and gospels and hand these out where We think they will do good. Mrs. Norton also visits in the wards and sees to it that the patients have tracts and the children have picture books. Chapel exercises occur every morning and each member of the staff is urged to be an evangelist. As to statistics, the period covered is not the same as that of the past report so the presentation of figures is not especially enlightening. Suffice it to say that in every way we have an increase over last year. The report issued for the calender year will supply the figures. A. H. NORTON, M. D. Union Methodist Theological Seminary Report for year During the Conference year ; ], the attendance at the Union Methodist Theological Seminary has been as follows : Autumn Term I Class, 4; II Class, 4. Total 8. Spring Term I Class~ 14, II Class, 9; III Class~ 10,~ 33.

63 130 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., On account of the irregularity of the sessions of the Seminary since the Gamble Memorial was burnt in December 1918 and the absence of several of the Professors on furlough and sick leave during most of the time there has been no graduating class for three years. The addition of two new Prcfessors is expected in the Autumn. We hope therefore to graduate a class in December 1921 and hope that the District Suprintendents can make provision to give all students who lack one term, an opportunity to complete their course at that time. A Post Graduate Class was held during the month of June with an enrollment of 37. The Faculty is greatly indebted to Bishop Welch, Dr. Gale, Dr. Oh, Mr. S. K. Paik and Mr. Roe for valuable lectures delivered,to this class. The Theological World has been published regularly during the year, but we regret that the subscription list has materially decreased. At present it numbers about 400. We believe there is real need for this magazine and trust that all who realize the importance of providing literature for our preachers and educated church workers will do what they can to help increase its circulation. The following books translated by members of the Faculty have been published during the year. The Story of Joseph by J. R. Miller, The Life of Paul by Stalker, an Exposition of the Book of Daniel~ and the first volume of an Introduction to the Books of the Old Testament. The Faculty is deeply indebted to many friends in the U. S. A. and in Korea for the contribution of about 1,500 books to the Seminary Library. We wish especially to mention the names of Bishop and Mrs. LaI'nbuth, Bishop Welch, the Rev. J. L. Moose, Mrs. C. C. Clay, the Rev. D. K. Young Mrs. Crossman and Dr. Dodd, who each contributed a large number of valuable books. With ~ view to giving undergraduates of long standing a better opportunity to complete the Seminary course, and with the hope of holding the younger students for a longer period of consecutive study, the Faculty made a recommendation to the Board of Trustees at its last annual meeting that henceforth the Seminary Calendar consist of three terms each year instead of two. This recommendation was adopted thus shortening the present course to two years. The Faculty hopes that the Seminary will be in session during the coming winter and that another class will be gra:du'ated next March. The Faculty also hopes that the course shall then be made a three years course of nine months each and that the standard for admission as well as that of the course itself shall be so raised as to ensure the production of a better qualified ministry. We urge therefore that an effort be made to give all who can complete their Seminary studies in December 1921 and March 1922 an opporturity to. do so, and that a further effort b~, made to lead as, many

64 ,, 1921] REPORTS 131 qualified candidates as possible to begin their Seminary studies at that time. Report of the Sunday School Committee of the Korean Annual Conference for the year 1920 and During the year much has been accomplished and more planned. Han Suk Won has finished and is now publishing the translation of Athern, the Church School. Mr. Billings and Mr. Han together have been preparing and now finishing another book the Primary Work, which is due to be published soon. Besides this Mr. Han has prepared three other manuscripts which are awaiting publication. Also Mrs. Han Translated Fitch, the Art of Questioning. This is on sale. The Sunday School Secretary has been visiting district conferences Bible Classes and studying the language. Part of his time has been ex! pended on the work of developing the Sunday School Year Program for all of Korea. All of the Sunday Schools were sent Sunday School Standards which were edited by the Secretary and his assistant Mr. Kim Han Young. Two of the Committee Mr. Chang and Mr. Lacy have served on the interdenominational committee for Korea. This committee feeling that the time was ripe for an advance in Sunday School work have planed with the hope of concurrance of the Denominational Bodies to make this Sunday School Year. Briefly outlined the plan is as follows :- (1) To secure special help for the Sunday School Year from America in the person of one or more specialists to spend some months in Korea visiting and lecturing in the various parts of the field. Rev. J. V. Thompson of our own Sunday School Board has been secured. He has already visited the two Summer Resorts of the Missionaries and has delivered a series of lectures to them. (2) To prepare a Bunday School Standard and provide one for every Sunday School in Korea. These to be used as a measure for the present efficiency of the Schools. A report to be sent at the begining of the Sunday School year and another at the end of the year to indicate the progress of the program. The blanks for this have already been sent out and it is hoped that they will be soon returned. (3) That an All Korea Convention be planned for Seoul about November first. Following that sub-conventions and institutes be planned throughout all of Korea in an effort to reach all of the teachers in the country. (4) That in order to carry out this program one worker on each district be released for a whole or part of his time for the execution of

65 132 KOREA ANNUAL CONFERENCE [SEPT., the plan on the district. His work to be the organizing and teaching of teacher training groups through the district. (5) That a committee be appointed from among the religious workers, at least one from each district to be responsible for the carrying out of the Sunday School Year Plans. (6) To encourage the publication of literature on the problem of the Sunday School and promote the publication of better lesson helps. Respectfully submitted for the committee. J. V. LACY. Report of the Committee on Education. We recommend this year as a candidate for study in America Pak Chong Man, of Kongju District. Recommend that a committee of seventy two of which shall be from the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society be appointed to revise the Conference Course of study for exhorters and local. preachers with a view to bringing it before the next meeting of the Central Conference of Eastern Asia for adoption; further that grades given for work done in this revised course be recognized whether given by the men's or women's classes. We recommend that e8ch District Conference elect one member, each to serve on the Boards of Managers of our various Higher Common Schools, and further, that a collection be taken in the churches on children's Day in June to contribute to the current expenses of our schools. We recommend that the districts be, so far as possible, grouped as follows in the schools to which their contributions shall go, (1) Yengbyen, (2) Pyengyang and Haiju to Pyengyang, (3) Chemulpo, Kangneung, Seoul, Suwon, and Yichyun to Seoul, Chun-an and Kongju to Kongju. In regard to the support in our schools of the children of pastors we recognized the difficulty of meeting in any satisfactory way this item out of the current funds of the schools but we commend the present practice in some schools of remitting tuition to such students and further, we would urge upon the local churches the consideration of making some extra contribution to the salary of their pastor in the event of his sending his children to schools of secondary grade or above. Report of the Committee on the Division of Territory. I. We recommend to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church that they transfer to the Korea Annual Conference full power to change or keep the present lines of territorial division between our own and other churches working in Korea.

66 1921] REPORTS 133 II. While we believe in maintaining the principle of territorial division as formerly agreed upon, there are places where adjustments should be made. We recommend that a-special committee be appointed by the Bishop with full authority to make these adjustments and to report the results back to the next annual conference. Report of the Committee on Epworth Leagues. I. We recommend the organization of an advisory committee to consist of five as follows: -a secretary elected at large, two members from the Annual Conf~rence and one each from the Board of Foreign Missions and the W.
