lie was a man who could not hold
a grudge. One day in company with
Secretary Kim ne called on the old
minister of war, who was chiefly re-
sponsible for their Imprisonment.
They said to him, "Your Excellency
was the cause of our being unjustly
thrown into prison. Some Of us died
in the prison; we were sick because
of the food and filth. was tor
tured until one of the bones OF my
leg was broken" Said Kim: ''You
almost killed my son in order to get
him to confess something which
would give you an excuse to kill me"
Said Ye, Our wives and childre.l
starved to death. "According to
Korean codes we should try to kill
yGu now, bat we have become
Christians and are willing to forgive
you. All that We ask OF you is to
confess your sins, believe in Jesus
and pray for forgiveness" The min
lister was deeply affected.
Another of the prison group was
Mr.. Ye Sung rMahn. editor of the
reform paper, the first newspaper to
be published in Korea. He had been
educated in a mission school and re-
peatedly heard the story of the Cos
pei, but had not become a believer.
One day a newspaper was passed
through the bars announcing in
startling headlines the Execution of
Editor Ye Sung NIahn." On the
following morning his old father
Cwho by the way was being cared
for at the Association came to the
prison gate in tears, begging the
headless body of his son. Ne was
startled. The Bible which was
smugglcd into the prison he secured
and studied and soon became a Chris
tian. He organized two hundred of
the prisoners into a school" Other
Bibles and Christian books, notably
Pilgrims Progress, were secured.
The head jailer was so Influenced
that he not only sent his own boys
to a mission school, but permitted
textbooks to be brought in for the
prison school. Arithmetic, History
Geography, Political Economy and
the English language were studied,
but the Bible and Christianity were
The matters Of keenest interest and
soon a spiritual work Of the most
type was in progress.
With such men in the lead of the
Association in Seoul, it is not to be
wondered that it has rapidly grown
in three years from n membership Of
Az to that of 900 and is looked upon
as one of the most powerful factors
in shaping the new Korea. p. L.
