derfuily successful there. Those who be-
came converts seemed to catch the spirit
right away and started in to convert
others. They would talk religion with
the people they met as they went about
their work and thus were active agents.
"Since the war the work has spread so
that there are twenty-five preaching places
contiguous to Ping Yang. AT the time of
the war pro bly, not more than ten
natives had been baptized and there were
not more than about forty catechumens,
or those who had been taken, as NAV be
said, on probation. Now there are at
least 200 that have been baptized, and
there are not less than 500 catechumens.
Seven churches have been built or pro-
vided for by natives this year.
Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, the famous
writer, was in Seoul a year ago. The lady
is mem Der of the Episcopal church, and
was struck with the signal progress that
was being made in outstanding the
Koreans. She wrote to the Presbyterian
board about the work, and later met
nun Der of our people and did what she
could to assist.
There have been a number of churches
built by natives in the vicinity of Seoul
as well as in the north OF Korea. In Ping

the Christians knew it ana expected

the judge and told that if they would re-
cant, they could save themselves. But
even then, only two of them who had not
known the truth very long, would assent
to this. The others remained firm in the
face of death.
They were finally let go, but when
they got outside the people said they
would kill them anyway and began to
