hence the necessity of summer surface

end than at the other. BY placing a
rope through one of the slots and pull

become wedged in the slot tighter and

horse, so that the latter in pulling on
the rope will force it more tightly into

Outside Of two minor states IN Africa,

This is OF the remarkable facts aScUt the rs-

degree. the missionaries have yet devoted them-
selves chiefly to work among the plain people. The
latter have been converted by thousands-the num-
Der OF actual communicates. and not merely ad-

gradually Christianity has worked from the bottom
up. until to-day all OF Corea seems favorable and
hospitable toward 1t.
When interviewing the who had been indi-
sionaries probably the greatest living Corean he
said. speaking OF the growth OF Christianity and
Christian schools THE only lights in Coreas black

The opinion widely prevails that the real trans
formation of Corea will be effected NOT by Japan,
but by Christianity The missionaries are waken-
ing up and lifting up the natives; and they assert
that the latter have greater potentialities than
either the japanese to the south or the Chinese to
the north.
