Students at Milford Memorial

students by the Orphanage be-
cause the little girl they had chos-
en- had already been adopted.

years old and has been living at
the orphanage for "a year. He has
a brother at the orphanage named

of these two boys are missing.

) Fer the privilege of being
mothers to Byung. Ho, our stu
dents pay $40 monthly. This
small amount of money provides
the child with food, clothing, ed
ucation, and medical care. ALI
Of the Korean staff (8emembers)
at Byung Hos home read, write,
and speak English and are SEM
mary graduates. This particular
home started In 1852 with 20
abandoned infants, half of them
fathered by American soldiers.
Mr.. Lee Soon Byung, the prin-
cipal of a night school, and his
wife took these abandoned infants
into their home to care for them.
In 1854, the U. S. Army built
a wooden building for Mr.. and
Mrs. Lee, who were now provid-
ing for 40 children. After the
U. S. Army had left and the
Lees were unable to get food,
milk or clothing, they persuad-
ed Compassion to support this
orphanage. The following letter,
received by the Nursing Students
at Milford was written by Rev.
Everett F. Swanson, the Execu-
tive Director Of Compassion:

Dear Friends:
I am very happy to receive
your request to sponsor one of
our dear Korean orphan chill
dren. God bless you for your
love and compassion. It is truly
an answer to our prayers and
the cries of this homeless child.
Thank you so much. The children
whom you requested to sponsor
had already been taken when we
received your letter, however,
we have carefully chosen another
child for you. We are enclosing
the negative SO you may have
extra pictures made. You may
also use 1t for making a glossy
print If the enclosed one is not
suitable for the newspaper. When
you are finished with the negative
please mail 1t back to us to keep
with our records.
l am sure your action will
prove to be a great blessing to
you, to say nothing of what 1t
will mean to the child. You may
be certain your child will re-
ceive Christian love and daily
care more explicitly food,
clothing, medical care and ed
ucatton. as though he were
living In your own home. Equally
important, the Bible is taught
each day, the children learn to
pray and are led to receive Jesus
Christ as their personal Savior
and Lord.
When sending your support
money, make your checks payable
to COMPASSION, Incorporated,
and mail to this office. Bi- MONTH
ly, quarterly, semi annual or
annual payments are especially
appreciated as they save much
time and expense, but of course
you may pay monthly If you
wish. We will send you a receipt
and self addressed envelope for
your next contribution. Now
that you are a co-worker, you
will be receiving COMPASSION
our missionary publication,
which will keep you informed of
our work.
Please, friends, tell your
friends about this blesse work
and try to interest them In be-
coming sponsors Of other needy
children. We need many more
sponsors right nowl
Cordially In Christ for Korean
children.
