when I was in the schools. then Is Korea.

as the polite, self-deprecating Japanese
would say. My first experience after test
ing the chair suspended on bamboo poles
was with vivisection. We were just de-
scending from the gate when a gruesome
object met our sight. Stretched In the
middle Of the narrow, muddy road was a
PROSTATE OK surrounded by group of
men. Some held the animal by the horns
and others by the legs. while by the fight
of two or three Pickering lamps another
was engaged in skinning the quivering car
cass. Probably the animal had been
stunned by a blow on the head, but as
the skin was pulled inch by inch from the
bleeding flesh the poor beast kicked con-
vulsively. 1t was the first thing of the kind
had seen, and I was glad to turn from
the revolving spectacle. at which several
bystanders were looking as II it were just
sufficiently interesting to keep them awake.

A few yards beyond this point was the
entrance to the missionary compound, and
at 2:30 am. we were warmly welcomed
there and our bags were sent over to the
guest chambers, which are in q small, de-
tached building about twenty yards from
the residence. We were ushered into the
dining room, where a stove was burning
vigorously and a hearty meal was waiting.
Nothing could exceed the consideration for
our comfort. The rate Of progress up the
river depends so much upon the tides and
the wind that even with q steam launch
the length of the journey cannot be known
within an hour or SO, and with a rowboat
it may occupy up to three days; yet every
thing was served as nicely as If we had
been invited to evening dinner. Coming
as 1t did after a long and firing day and
a number of semi European. semi-Japanese
meals, the early morning repast was very
acceptable, and after showing our appre-
citation by deeds and words we crossed to
the guest house and slept till that morn

One of the principles on which this mis-
sion is conducted is that nothing shall be
done that will needlessly accentuate the
difference between western and eastern civ
ilization, and all the buildings are con-
structed in Korean style, from the city

Beggars. This man was the head Of his
class and II begging did not yield sufficient
money. he had no hesitation in leading his
men to open and violent robbery. He gam
bled and drank and gave himself over to
all forms of vice. After his conversion he
opened shop in the main street, where he
sold shoes six days q week. being one Of the
first to strictly observe the Day Of Rest.

midnight carousal, IL now tie home Of q

Bible scholar and contributes literally to
the funds Of the church. I have seen the
man myself, and can bear testimony to the
evident change in his character. He has

glad to know that those qualities which
pany are now used in the service Of God
and on the side of law and order.

observation - that II the sorceress. This
woman and her band Of satellites pro.

and sorceresses have considerable influence.
Being q woman Of strong mind and some
education, this ex-sorceress had achieved
considerable prominence in her profession,
and when converted turned those gifts to
good account. The thorough knowledge Of
the Korean nature, which had enabled her
to play upon the superstitious fears OF the
people and to bind them more tightly IN
the thraldom Of spirit worship. is now used
to point them to the light Of the world.
