In the streets of a city squandered my days,
Seeking the rainbows fair gold;

Till my heart which young has grown DID,
For the hustle of traffic has travelled the edge
OF the fabric God gave for life
After all 1 have YEARLY travelled, hedge

For made the city, labor of hand,
But God in His glory created the land
And while rocking in novels may give life zest,
IT'S the peace of the prairies gives quiet and
Through the years have striven for bodily needs
In the streets and the marketplace full,
While the strife unceasing has riven my creeds
Till there's nothing left now but the hull.
The city has taken my youth and my grace,
Bowed the frame straight and so fair,
And with merciless truth it has limned on my face
Deep lined, all the weight of it's care.
And the city made, it has given naught,
Though years have labored and strven and fought
But the country God fashond has best all my fears
So it's back to the land for the rest of my years.

Chong Kyo is our largest. church in

been entirely self-supporting and now
supports an assistant pastor as well
as It's regular Korean pastor. This
church has two Sunday Schools. The
morning school Is composed largely
of adult church members. numbering
about ESQ. The afternoon school of

children from non Christian homes.
We feel that this afternoon school
means much 10 the church OF the
future as the morning school means
much to the church of the present.
Our church services are well attended

200 attend the Wednesday evening

On Christmas Day we received into
the church by baptism a class OF II
adults and baptised five infants: we
also received one by vows from the
