AN AFTERNOON IN KOREA

The Woman's Auxiliary Of the
First Presbyterian church held one
Of its most delightful meetings last
Monday, when the members gathered
at the hospitable home Of Miss Ella
Cummins. As the guests arrived
refreshing punch and cake were
served by Misses Flora Smith and
Elizabeth Marshall.
Miss Cummins, so thoroughly con-
versant with every phase Of mis-
sionary work, by a departure from
the usual routine, made the subject
for the afternoon. which was Korea,
one of interest and charm.
On the lawn were placards ar
ranged to show the position of our
mission stations in Korea, and
especial attention was called to our
newest station-Soonchun. The
guests, seated upon the porch, were
asked to imagine themselves in
China, looking across the Pacific
toward Korea.
Mrs. Boals' devotional reading,
"Ihe Word" showed what the Bible
does for those who study it carefully,
and in her own delightful way she
told of the great eagerness of the
Koreans for the Word and of their
Jealous Christian life and noble sac
rifices when they have accepted the
gospel. She brought out the fact
that Christian Koreans are the
greatest Bible students in the world.
Miss Cummins told of the work of
Mr.. Swinehart and his noble wife,
who, in the little cart improvised byI
her husband from a Montgomery
Ward packing box, goes forth each
Sabbath to teach the young Koreans
the way of truth, elieiting from him
as he sees her depart over the wild |
and rugged mountain roads the ex-
preston, "Only the love of Christ
could inspire one to do this" She
also touched upon the sacrifice and
devoted service of Mr.. Swinehart, |
ayman, giving up a position which |
paid him $4,000 per year to carry |
IN the Masters work in Korea, with
barely living wage of $1.50 per day.
Miss VanMeter's paper, "The
aepers Of Korea" was full Of inter-
Dyed.
Mrs. Enos Smith made US feel that
Sunday in Qwalgiu" would be
10Th interesting and instructive. She
Elaborated on the religious devotion
i the Koreans, who, in their great
iagerness to hear the gospel, travel
many miles, taking their rice with
hem to he cooked along the way.
Miss Maclin read bright, opti-
nistic letter from Miss Austin, one
I our missionaries at Qwalgiu.
Mrs. Howard, chairman of Circle
!, composed of the younger women Of
ne church, talked Of the scope Of
he work which she is endeavoring
do-that of training and prepare
ion for leadership. With the ex-
erience of teacher, mother and con-
ecrated church worker, Mrs. How
I'd is splendidly equipped for this
rork.
Last upon the program, but BY no
leans least in interest, was the an
by Miss Bessie Morri-
IN of the marriage in June at
eoul, Korea, Of Rev. j. S. Nisbet to
Liss Walker, both of our Makpo
ission. Miss Walker is the sister of ( .
rs. Alfred Mason, Of Memphis, and
le friends Of Mr.. Nisbet will be |
ad to know he has won such help
eet.
The members of the Auxiliary /,
ish to voice their hearty apprecia-
on to Miss Cummins for this de- :
ghtful afternoon Of happiness and .
,iritual cheer. #&*

In his speech MIR. Arnold traced

out the organizers of the Nonparti-

that the Socialists stole the league,

Differ ON S|LESIA
Allies Heads Discussed the
Question In Paris
GREAT BRITAIN PLANS
France Would Draw Frontier Be-
tween Poland and
Germany
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatchl

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatchl
Paris, August S.-Consultations re-
lative to the Upper Silesian question
took place here today between the
heads of the various government dele
cations to the meeting of the supreme
allied council, preliminary to the first
session Of the council this afternoon
It was hoped to present at the first
meeting of the body the views OF
France. Great Britain and Italy, which
have been divergent thus far.
It is understood that Great Britain
would solve the Silesian problem by
awarding the districts of Pless and
ovbnek to Poland, and 1t is said Prime
Minister Lloyd George has expressed
apprehension that any other solution
of the question would create in Uppe.
Silesia a new Alsace Lorraine.
France, on the other hand, would
draw the frontier between Poland and
Germany along the Oder river, it be-
ing asserted by French experts that
such an award to Poland would be in
line with the result of the plebiscite
held in Upper Silesia. It also repre-
sents what nigh be called middle
ground.
