history, depicted in the Bible,
is one of trust in the Divine promises:

their Legislative action.
Assemblyman Rosa has introduced a
measure placing heavy penalty for sell
ing or offering to sell any stock claimed
to be registered and thorough bred for
the purpose of defrauding. With the
prevailing high prices for registered
stock, it has been a temptation for uncru-
pulOus breeders to misrepresent the pedi-
grees.
Assemblyman Carpenter, large stock
breeder and dealer, has introduced bill
to increase the annual appropriation for
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders aSsO-
citation to $4,000. Wisconsin is rapidly
developing into the leading live stock
breeding state in the nation.
Assemblyman JudsOn Hallhass has in~-
trOduced measure to provide that the
legal machinery for counties adopt the
commission form of government. This
question has been agitated in several
communities with view of extending
the law TO include counties.
A measure introduced by assembiyman
Richards increases the poll tax from
$1.50 to So. 90.

county would have the university estab-

portion Of the state for the purpose OF
experimenting with sand and muck
soils that are not very productive at the

need not be detected The dress OF
the women is also such that one could
easily hide herself. They have a
cloak which they throw over their
heads and draw it over their faces
so that only one eye peers out to see
what is going on in the world. Well,
to return to my story about the Cath
Ole priests, they taught their religion
to those wnom they could, and after
awhile they had quite a following and
became a little more daring. One
morning one of the believers in their
faith, having died, they proceeded to
give him a burial ignoring the Gus
toms of Keorea, and started out with
out yelling, dancing, and screaming
which according to their belief must
be present at such an occasion. This
the Koreans of course considered a
direct insult upon their gods. Before
they had gone very far a mob gather
ed and every on in the funeral pro-
cession was killed. All Korea was
engaged at this new religion and the
Catholic believers were killed where
ever found. They tried to force them
to recant, but they preferred death.
So they paved the way for Protestant
Christianity. It is such a comforting
thought to know that Gods hand is
leading in the affairs of the world;
oftentimes when the clouds are dark.
est, it seems He is paying especial
attention. the needs of His people.
Now all Korea is awakened, not all
are Christians for many have never
yet heard of our Christ, but this is
surely an opportune time for the
bringing of the gospel to these needy
hearts. When they become Christ
ians, 1t seems they are so earnest and
want to give all there is of them to
their Savior, their new found Joy and
light. What great opportunity to
teach them to walk on into the ex-
periences of heart purity or sanctif-
cation as many of them of the mis-
sionaries and native workers are DO
ing. It is truly a privilege to be in
these ripened harvest fields. May the
Lord give you His best day by day.

Former University Park Lady Tells
of Missionary Field.

The following letter addressed to
her mother, Mrs. w. NJ Bair of Uni

the lady's many friends:
Seoul. Korea, Oct. 13, 1913.
Dear Folks:-This is a lovely day;
thus far we have had ideal weather
We received your letters Saturday
and enjoyed them very much, espe-
cially the one father wrote from Ohio
We enjoyed hearing from home so
much. II we were not kept so very
busy ! suspect we would get quite
lonesome sometimes. But | always
think more work than one knows
what to do with helps the time pass
very rapidly. We are spending most
of our time on the language and then
we do not get along as fast as We
would like. But the Lord has certain
ly undertaken for us in our study.
Some of the missionaries say to study
as hard as we can, but always pray
for Divine help if we ever expect to
get it we'll. 1t is such a comfort to
know that Jesus knows all about us,
and even in the little things is inter
ested and glad to help us. Even
though we meet difficulties, haven't
we everything for which to be thank
full?
By the time this reaches you anoth-
or Thanksgiving will be very near,
which brings back last Thanksgiving
with mother in the hospital. How
fast time flies! 1t will be but a short
time until this world knows US no
more. and the only thing that should
concern us is: are we doing all we
can for the One Who gave His life
for US? 1t seems that since we have
been in Korea that thought has come
with increased force. and We never
felt more like sacrificing and doing
all we can for Jesus, than we do at
the present time. Many are here for
material interests, it seems no more
than natural that the Children of God
should be here for eternal interests.
Surely if the Christian people of
America were as wide-awake as we
should be, these ripened harvest
fields would soon have received the
Gospel, and been brought into a vital
experience of salvation.
Korea is certainly a beautiful land
with her rugged mountains, lovely
valleys and many winding streams.
But more than all the beauty of the
land is the attractiveness of her peo-
pie. There is something which draws
one in a special manner to the Kor-
cans. When We think OF what these
people used to think of the western
er and their present attitude one can
hardly believe ii to be true. OF the
eastern countries she was the one
who longest kept out missionaries.
In 1858 | think it was, u. S. Man-of-
war named the Sherman sailed up the
Tong River and was grounded near
the city of Pyeng Yang. The Kor-
cans killed the Americans and de-
stroyed the ship, and to-day in the
large east gate of the walls of that
city one can see the chains, which
came from that ship. 1t was not UNI
til 1883 that foreigner was allowed
to live in Korea. 1t is said that Cath
Ollie priests from France disguised
themselves by dressing in the native
costume, and lived in secluded places
until they had mastered the language
so thoroughly that the natives would
not know that they were foreigners
One would wear the Korean large
hats for men, and so little OF his face
could be seen, that his nationality
