there will remain distinctively foreign colour the thought oi Christians.

What I see of the Korean countryside leads me to think that this is more of a hindrance to the spread of the Christian gospel than the statistics of the church- ;s might suggest.

Foreign relief is still i angled with (and tang ling) the state of local Christianity.

Anything But Gospels :t is most discouraging sit on otherwise

satisfactory form of mysti cal satisfaction that they can find; while one must not forget that the Ghris- an doctrine offers the ...ost promising security the deep spiritual malaise from which most of the people arc suffering, though often not suffering consciously.

Relief and Social I meet fairly frequently with clergy and ministers of all the local churches. Catholic and Protestant, for discussions of relief

comes from Europe, which ... alive with a vigorous concern for the reunion of Christendom receives 3 great shock in Korea.

Ecumenical Move It has been said that ..re so-called ''Ecumenical Movement” is the greatest fact of 20th century re- ligious history.

But while in Europe the Roman, Anglican, Reformed, and Orthodox churches are all sharing more and more zeal for healing their schisms, Korea has been tending to further splits.

It is not only a matter of the disastrous schisms in the Presbyterian church. It is a question of local churches changing allegian- for the sake of better relief services, and above all of the deeply sectarian spirit of the rank and file Christians, not excepting my own flock-

Catholic vs. Christian It is an unfortunate linguistic development that has made “Catholic and “Christian” almost mutu- ally incompatible terms in colloquial usage.

It is even mere tragic that the members of all churches spend so much energy oil denigrating other denominations.

United committees and v, ,, u a* ^ » » - nnd so-called "Union Projects” in Christ- ian work are not yet dealing with this question t the roots.

The fact of sectarianism .3 accepted, and not la- mented. Yet here, as else- where, the divisions of Christianity weaken Us impact on the neighbourhood. The ills that spring from constant

Even in the countryside I feel the lack of good literature in Korean, and the depressing effects of the low level of Christian taste, as expressed in such things as hymns and ar- chitecture.

Even in the villages, perhpas especially there, because foreign favour , unts for so little, few of _.ie influential or more intelligent men are Chris- tians. And they are by no means country bumpkins.

Other Side of Coin Moreover, my conviction

remains and 1 grows that Korea needs nothing more than it needs the fulness of the Christian Faith.

So in my preaching to my own flock I am constantly trying to reinforce and deepen their grasp of the Christian ethic in all its interior profundity, while encouraging them to pray in charity with the mem- bers of other churches for the consummation of Christ tian Unity.

In England it is also traditionally part of the responsibilities of the coun- try clergy to maintain the intellectual life of the church because they have t (leisure for study. Oh that II had too!

dous contribution to Korean life, even to life in my comer here.

Korea’s martyrs are se- cond to none in their glory, and there are many c.’ses of wonderful per- sonal devotion.

Moreover, it is of the essence of Christianity that much of its greatest glories sh 11 remain indiscernible to the eyes of the world.

Even beneath some of my worries there is a ke nel of comfort: it is good if the church is a club, if it sa1 isfies a young m mystical yearnings, if draws in the poor and

Pusan, Korea

September 23, 1957

The R©v. Chin Pil Sin, pastor of Seoul’s lonf Dong Presbyterian

Church, was elected moderator cf the Presbyterian Church in Korea at

its flffiid General Assembly in Pusan, September 19-24* The now

moderator, a former Secretary of the National Christian Council in

Korea, won fame for his dramatic escape from Seoul *s notorious Nest » MO

Gate prison whex*® he was being held for execution after capture by the communists in Koreans call him “the man who jumped from

his coffin”* All his fellow prisoners were killed*

Highlight of the Assembly was the welcome given to the Rev, Pang

Js

Chi H, last Presbyterian missionary to be released by the C^nese ccxmmunists. Mr, Pang is a sec end-gener a t ion China missionary of ■bhc- Korwm ehfcu^oh, the son of one of Kcroast pioneers to Shantung province, Ha has been in China without furlough since 1937 and has been held with his family for eight years by the communists*

In sometimes stormy sessions the Assembly reached a compromise on the difficult problem of recognition of the geographically over- lapping refugee presbyteries from North Korea, It voted to receive delegates from these presbyteries only on the basis of their actual organised strength in South Korea, not their membership lost in the north*

Continuing its insistence on high standards for the ministry the Assembly rs committee on examinations passed only 60 cut of 130 candidates applying for admission to the Presbyterian ministry*

The Secretary-Treasurer’s Office would also note some improvement in the placing of orders by our Mission. While the matter of placing orders only adds to the duties of the Secretary-Trea surer ’s Office, from the standpoint of efficiency if the Office is expected to clear the orders through customs, it would be best to place that order originally via the Secretary-Treasurer ’s Office* On several occasions this year, the Treasurer has had to enter into correspondence to unscramble orders placed by individuals which would have consumed much less time if they had been placed in the proper manner originally.

The Treasurer would express his appreciation to those Stations. that have restrained themselves to the ultimate in placing special Station Orders. In recent months, their numbers have been much fewer than. formerly. We would point out, however, that some of our missionaries might well examine their Station Orders before submitting them to the Mission . Office and as they re-examine the Station Order, ask themselves. the questions:

"Is this Station Order clear? Is it simple? Is it concise?" Various qualifying statements on the Station Order only serve to confuse.

Report #3

REPORT OF THE EVANGELISTIC COMMITTEE

We recommend ;

(1) That ye adopt the Chunju Overture ashing that all matters concerning Church-Mission Relations be referred to the Evangelistic Committee for study and presentation to the Mission.

(2) That we request the Nominating Committee to appoint an alternate for Rev. B. A* Cumming to the Church-Mission Relations Conference in Seoul.

(3) That the Special Committee on Evangelism be continued with the name,

" Committee on Mass Evangelism."

(4) That inasmuch as the Mission plans to support only the General Assembly Seminary in Seoul, we cannot appropriate funds or supply (loan) buildings for any night seminaries.

(5) That we endorse the action of the meeting of the missionary evangelists (in Kwangju) that the Mission not hire Presbytery Evangelists (ordained).

(6) That we approve the suggestion that the Mission appoj^t a Student Work Committee but recommend that this year its duties be carried out by the Committee on Mass Evangelism.

(7) That we continue our present subsidy to the Severance Medical College of Yonsei University, and continue to send a medical representative to the merged board, and that the title of the Mission’s representative be changed to correspond.

(8) That we recommend that our Mission personnel askings for "Educational- Evangelistic Workers" and "Student Workers" be combined pnder the heading "Student Workers". These should be men (ordained or unordained) but especially qualified to do Student Work. In most cases, they would be expected to act as advisors to the local Mission schools. That the Board be informed of this slight change in policy due to the realization by the’ Eobean Church and the Mission of the great need for Student Work

in Korea today.

W. A. Linton, Chairman J. B. Hopper, Secretary

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH U.S.

PRINCIPLES

KOREA LI S3 I ON Preamble *.

The Korea Kiss ion of the Presbyterian Church in the United States rejoices in the growth and maturity which the Presby- terian Church of Korea has attained,

1. Along with all Christendom this Mission rejoices that the Church of Korea has a glorious history as a complete autonomous ecclesiastical entity,

2. It exercises the functions of a Presbyterian

, Church with its elders, pastors, Sessions, Presby-

teries, and General Assembly.

3. It has its own constitution and exercises its own polity and discipline.

4. It has for several decades been independent of outside subsidy for carrying on its own organizations .

”.7e praise God for these facts and express our desire to contin- ue working with the Church in ever closer bonds of Christian brotherhood*

Principles :

The fact that the Church has reached this advanced stage of development calls for a re-statement of principles governing the relationship between our Church (Presbyterian Church in the U. S.) and 'the Presbyterian Church in Korea.

1. ,7 c are two distinct autonomous organizations in Korea involved in the cooperative effort of obeying Christ's commission to preach the' Gospel to the unsaved. These two are (l) the Presbyterian Church of Korea and (2) the Presbyterian Church U.S. acting through its Korea Mission. The policies of the Mission must not jeopardize the autonomy of the Presbyterian Church of Korea.

2 . Ecclesiastical functions of a Presbyterian Church are (l) Preaching the Nord (2) Administering the Sacraments (3) Training and ordination of the ministry (4) Exercise of discipline (5) Contri- buting to benevolent causes.

3. "Jherever the program of the Mission involves the direct ecclesiastical functions of the Church (see #2 of the preceding paragraph) such functions should be under the direction and control of the Church.

4. Christian schools for secular education, medi- cal work, special training programs and other activities are not necessarily the function of an ecclesiastical organization.

5. The Mission hopes to engage in such Christian activities as are not specifically ecclesiastical functions and do not infringe upon the sovereignty of the Church of Korea, but do contribute to our common objective of winning people to Christ. The Mission hopes to continue in these activities until such time as the Church is prepared to take full responsibility for them.

6. There are areas that as yet have not been properly developed, where full cooperation could be entered into on the principle expressed in Article #5. Such cooperation should be a combined endeavor in terms of personnel and finance on the part of both the Church and the Mission in joint agencies established for specific programs. 7e trust that the present time nay be a period of advance. Even- tually national Christian leadership will assume full responsibility and in turn from every area Church.

the Mission will withdraw in "which it is now serving

-implementation of Principle

1. Consultative Committees.

(a) The Mission mil be glad to cooperate with the General Assembly in a Central Consultative Committee, a regional (Honam) Consultative Committee and such local Consultative

Committees as may be needed. Constitutions for the Central and Honam Consultative Committees have already been agreed upon by the Liission and the Church.

(b) The function of a Consultative Committee will be for con- sultation, and to carry out such work as may be delegated to it by either the Mission or the Church.

2. In the duties that take them directly into the ecclesiastical func- tions of the Church, the relationship of ordained missionary evangel- ists to the Presbyterian Church of Korea may be as follows:

(a) They may continue as members of Presbytery, if the Church desires, but without a vote, subject to the rules of the Presbytery.

(b) They mil cease to attend the General Assembly as commissioners. The liission may send one member from each station as official observers to the meeting of the Assembly, when requested to do so, they will serve on committees.

3. Pioneer Evangelism. (The following points have already been agreed upon by the Mission and the Honam Consultative Committee.) We desire to carry on all our evangelistic program within the framework of the Presbyterian Church of Korea as follows:

(a) That we begin no new church work without approval of Pres- bytery Evangelistic Committee or in some cases its district committee

(b) That evangelistic budget askings for the following year be initiated by a joint committee of the missionaries responsi- ble and the Presbytery Evangelistic Committee to be then referred to the Honam Consultative Committee for correlation and then to the Liission and the Board.

(c) That we employ only such full-time evangelists as are licensed by Presbytery,

(d) That we urge that in all places subsidized by the Mission, all church property be transferred to the Juridical Person of Presbytery. (Promptly).

(e) That each missionary evangelist report annually to Presby- tery on his work among the churches.

Bible Institutes.

(a) There arc currently three types of Bible Institutes in the Honam district.

(1) Those receiving a token subsidy from the Mission, but operated entirely by Presbytery.

(2) Those financed by the Mission but operated jointly by the Mission and the Presbytery.

(3) Those financed and operated by the Mission.

(b) The policy of the Mission with reference to each type is as follows :

(1) For schools of the first type, the Mis sion will temporarily try to provide a small subsidy to be divided annually by the Honam Consultative Committee,

(2) For schools of the second type the Mission desires to turn over complete responsibility, both administrative and financial to the Presbyteries as soon as possible,

(3) Inasmuch as the schools of the third type serve a regional need, the Mission will continue to operate these, but requests increasing Church representation on their boards beginning as follows:

(a) The Honam Consultative Committee to appoint one representative to the advisory board

of the Ada Hamilton Clark Bible School,

This representative need not necessarily be a member of the Honam Consultative Committee.

(b) The Honam Consultative Committee to appoint members to the Board of the Honam Bible Institute in accordance with its charter,

(Sec Appendix A). These representatives need not necessarily be members of the Honam Consultative Committee.

5. Christian Schools for secular education.

(a) There are currently two types of Christian schools for secular education in the Honam District.

(1) Those operated by the Presbytery and receiving from

the Mission a subsidy on a declining scale. These are: Yung-Myung (Kunsan), Maisan (Soonchun),

3oong-il ( Kwangju ) .

(2) Those operated by the Mission. These are: Speer

(Kwangju) Sin-heung, Kijun, Kijun Elementary Schools (Chunju), Chung Ivyung (Mokpo).

(b) The policy of the Mission with reference to each type is as follows :

(1) For schools of the first type, the Mission looks forward to turning over to the Presbyteries complete administrative and financial responsibilities at the end of 1958.

(2) For schools of the second type, the Mission will continue to operate these for the present inasmuch

as the permits under the Government for these schools are in the name of the Mission Juridical Person.

The Mission requests the Consultative Committee to appoint representatives to their advisory boards as follows :

(a) Speer - (See Appendix 3)

(b) Chung! lyung - (See Appendix C)

(c) Sinheung - Kijun - (See Appendix D)

6. Taejon Rresbyterian College. During the formative stage of this institution, four Korean advisors have been invited to assist the Board. In the immediate future, we expect to ask the Consultative Committee to appoint qualified Christians who arc college graduates as official members of the Board.

7 Medical fork. Since this type of service is so highly technical and expensive, and in no sense an ecclesiastical function, the Mission must continue to operate it for the foreseeable future. As qualified medical advisors become available, the Mission expects to establish advisory councils for our medical institutions.

8. There arc many other Christian programs in the conduct of which the Mission desires to work in close cooperation with the Church and interdenominational organizations, such as student work. Men’s work, 'ifomen’s "fork, Sunday School Morlc, Bible Clubs, Summer Conferences, Publications, Orphanages, Old People’s Homes, Relief, Agricultural Projects, Radio, Audio-visuals, etc. Most of these present unlimited opportunities for cooperative effort in the preaching of the Gospel, and our Mission pledges all possible support in these cooperative endeavors.

9. Me consider it of paramount importance to all to remember that after all it is not the organizational structure but the spiritual mission of the Church with which we are primarily concerned.

REPORT OF THE INTER-STATION RADIO COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE

I. The purpose of this system of radio communication would be to provide Stations with dependable communications with each other and with our missionaries residing in Seoul.

A. The system would be for "business" of the Mission only. This is understood to include such personal messages as individuals would care to send over such a public system.

B. Regular network schedules could be worked out by a committee set up for that purpose, subject to change with experience.

(In our 'Africa Mission, all Stations meet on the air at 5:00 p.m. daily). The control station would logically be located in Chunju so that emergency calls to the Hospital could be made at any time. A receiver could be kept on there 24 hours daily.

C. The need for such an adequate communication system need not be elaborated in this plan since it has been approved twice before and all are acquainted with the total lack of dependable, fast communication existing now.

II. Each Station would be equipped with the following necessary items:

Transmitter (Radio-Telephone) Frequency: 80 Meter Band, 3-4 Me,

Receiver, Antenna, Auxiliary Power Supply.

The needs of each Station are not exactly the same since the distances between Stations vary.

III. Operating personnel need not be trained in radio. Any responsible adult can operate the crystal controlled, pre-tuned transmitters.

IV. The Korean Government will probably grant a license when such a plan is presented to them in definite form. (Source of information: HLKY)

REPORT OF PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE

During the past year the press has constantly been busy with work along three main lines: (1) Printing of forms, blanks, and other materials

for the Medical Center, the College, and the Sinheung-KiJun Schools.

While busy most of the time with work for these institutions alone, we will be happy to render the same service for other mission institutions. (2) Printing of catechisms. As needed the Child’s Catechism, Shorter Catechism, and Life of Christ Catechism have been reprinted. Wholesale lot sales are increasing. If missionaries will provide us with names and addresses of Christian book stores we will supply them with this material. (3) Publication of Pok Tvan Malsum proceeded approximately on schedule last year (1956) with an edition every two months, providing sermon notes for at least one sermon per week, information about our mission program, and theological essays. The mail system having proved unsatisfactory In most cases we are trying to send the magazine out through the Presbyteries or mission stations, and we ask help and advice in this matter. In 1957 we have been behind schedule in getting out the magazine, due to pressure of other work, the sickness of the Korean editor, etc.

Work has continued in preparation of the manuscripts of three books previously reported several times to Mission Meeting. Paper and binding materials and ink to begin publishing the first two of these books have been ordered from Japan. Poor exchange and the hone of getting the use of new equipment (see below) have made us delay starting the printing of the books but we have hopes of doing so soon. The three books are Foster Bible Story Book, Foster’s Little Steps for Little Feet, and a Christian

Homemaker’s Handbook to be published with the Birthday Offering Fund

for literature for the Christian Home.

We have received a contract to print a large stock of tracts for Rev.

Bob Rice of Taegu, the tracts to be paid for by him, but used In our section of Korea. We are hampered in this by the small size of our press but hope to start delivering these tracts to our missionaries in the near future.

Our equipment continues to improve. We purchased a typecaster and paper- cutter from Japan last year and this greatly improves the quality of our work, particularly since we can use clean new type. In December we scrounged half a quonset which has almost doubled the size of our establishment, and we have received a total of three shipments of surplus U.S. Army press equipment and type from Japan at no cost except trans- portation from Seoul. Some of this is useable and some will be exchanged We hope that through this method we can, at no cost to the mission for equipment, wind up with practical equipment of one of the simpler modern offset techniques now available, and which require virtually no technical training. This should enable us to produce far better work than that done by the average press in Korea.

Report I'S (con«t)

Attention of the mission needs to be called to the fact of the immense possibilities of a vide range of influence through the medium of literature m Korea, and to the fact that such organizations as Jehovah fs Witnesses, Seventh Bay Adventists, and others are far ahead of us in this field.

The religious Dress of Korea is still not producing enough of the basic literary toals for Christians and for church workers. Nor can we disregard the negative effect of much of the secular literature flooding the country . Our personal contacts are limited in number, and weakened by the language barrier, but professionally trained missionaries with an intimate knowledge of the Korean situation, can, through well- translated printed material, meet a far wider circle through the country. We have the assurance that at least to the present time, almost any Korean will read anything put into his hands.

We_ rcc ommend s

(1) That a budget of $2500*00 be appropriated for 1953 0 (Same as 1957)

(2) That the publication department be allowed to use proceeds from the sale of books to build up a revolving fund for use in printing books

in the hope that it will then not be necessary to ask for special appropriations to print new books from time to time. At present, even the entire budget for one year ($2500.00) is insufficient to publish any one book* We suggest that at present a ceiling of $10,000.00 be projected for this fund, although if the scope of this work continues to expand, this limit may have to be raised. This fund would be kept as a separate account on the Mission Treasurers Books, not subject to refund to the Board at the end of each fiscal year. If permission of the Board is necessary in this matter, we ask the Mission to take the proper action.

(3) That our missionaries continue to contribute sermons and other information they would like to disseminate throughout our churches in the form of articles (written in English) to be published in the magazine.

(4) If anyone can produce a good Gospel Tract (s) , we suggest that the Mission pool its tract funds from time to time to print off a large number of them,

(5) We are keeping a list of bocks we may possibly print and welcome other suggestions. The first in this list has already been approved by the Mission and if funds are available will be yrinted this year:

(a) Yul-lam Moon-top by Dr. J.V.N, Talmage

(b) Sung-gyung To-li by Dr. Harry Kill

Report #9

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO PRESS FOR A SOLUTION OF THE MOKPO SCHOOL

PROELEM

We have very little to show for this year in the way of a complete settlement of the school problem. Yet we have made a few steps forward that will mean much toward a complete settlement. The Lord has blessed us with His presence and has led us by His wisdom. We are thankful for all that He has dene for us.

After the Mission Meeting in Soonchun last year, we received the decision from the Appellate Court in Kwangju. In this decision, the court upheld the Mission’s ownership of the Chung Ifyung Girls’ Middle School property and as the governor in Kwangju had already ordered the Rev, Lee Nam Kyu to close the school he was operating in Mission buildings, the court did not need to take action to evict the illegal user. The Mission was granted the privilege of collecting 600,000 Hwan for damages, according to the court decision. We were advised not to press claims for this amount until we saw how the Boys’ School problem was being solved.

Your Committee was able to do no more about the whole problem until January 1957. At that time Mokpo Fresbytery formally asked for a state- ment from the Station concerning the future of the Boys' School. After discussion with the members of Ad Interim Committee, the Station notified Presbytery that as soon as the property was reclaimed and the Presbytery had gotten the legal right to run a school, the Station would be happy to turn the school over to Fresbytery, provided a contract was made concerning the use of Mission Property,

The Committee decided to leave the Boys’ School permit in the hands of Chun Nam Presbytery’s Juridical Person and put in an application for the right to appoint a principal of the school through this Juridical Person.

In March, Chun Nam Juridical Person elected Rev, R. K. Robinson as principal of the Yeung Heung School and made out an application to be presented to the education officials In Kwangju, On April 8, the Committee laid the plans to re-occupy the Boys’ School property before the U.S. Embassy officials in Seoul. We have received assurances from them that they will assist in every way possible to help us to reclaim the property.

The plan to re-occupy the property is as follows: Request is being made

to the government to approve the appointment of a principal. If the aprrcval is granted, action will be taken to ask the government to assist this principal to gain control of the school by peaceful means.

If the government fails to grant any of these things, we must take the matter to the courts.

Cn May 4, Chun Nam Presbytery and your Committee placed our reouest before the officials in Kwangju. We have notified the Embassy officials in Seoul of our action and we can now only await the government decision.

Report #9 (con:t)

We recommend ;

(1) That the Committee continue to press for a solution of this problem until it Is brought to a successful conclusion,

(2) That the Committee bo permitted to use the Bcvsf School subsidy to cover its expenses in securing the school,

(3) That the present members of this Committee continue to serve for another year,

(4) In the event that the school be returned, the Boys’ School subsidy vculd be returned for use in running the school* Three of the school bouses are being illegally occupied by the teachers in Mr. Lee Nam Kyu’s school* It seems evident that the Mission will have to resort to court action to get this property returned* This is in spite of what the government nay do about the school* We therefore request that if such action be necessary, that the funds come from, those used by the Juridical Person*

Report //10

REPORT OF THE METICAL COMMITTEE

We recommend :

(1) That Dr. Paul S. Crane be invited to return to the Mission at the

end of his army tenure to complete his five year term before going on furlong!

(2) The Medical Committee renews its request for a temporary surgeon for the Medical Center. He will remain until such time as Dr. Crane returns sc that Dr. Phillips may have opportunity to learn the language Defer e assuming full tine responsibility cf his work.

(3) That under the present circumstance of high endemic rate of tuber- culosis among the Korean people, children of missionaries should not be sent to Korean schools and kindergartens. If, however, any parents feels strongly to the contrary and do send their children to Korean schools, each child so involved should have a chest x-ray every three months,

and should receive BCG vaccine when it is available.

(4) The Medical Committee re- iterates the 1956 recommendation: That all

annual physical examinations on missionaries be completed before September 1, and that all those planning to come to Chun ju allow two days for this examination. An advance appointment will facilitate completion for this examination. By special request the annual physical examination may be taken in Kwangju with the consent cf Dr. H. A. Codington*

(5) The Medical Committee re-iterates the 1956 recommendation: That all

adult missionary personnel are strongly advised to take annually Smallpox, Typhoid, and Tetanus innoculati ens, and Typhus when so indicated. Children up to the age of 6 should receive DPT, Typhoid, and Smallpox innoculai-ions annually, and children 7 to 13 should receive DPT biannually and Typhoid and Smallpox innoculations annually* Responsibility for receiving

these innoculations will rest with the missionaries.

Report #10 (con’t)

(6) That all missionary children receive their booster dose of polio vaccine, and that all missionaries be immunized against polio as soon as the vaccine is available.

(7) That in view of the approaching retirement of Mr. Boyer, the Mission ask the Board to take more vigorous action to secure a doctor for medical and administrative work at the Wilson Leprosy Colony*

(8) That an urgent call be put in for a full-time unmarried public health nurse for the Mokpo medical work.

(9) That the Mokpo Public Health Unit be closed until a full time worker is in a position to take ever the direction of this work.

(10) That $2 .,000 on the List of Special Askings for the Mokpo Public Health Center be reserved for the launching of the public health program when the nurse is ready to take up her duties.

(11) In reply to an overture from Kwangju Station that the Mission request the Board to advance funds for purchasing a photo-fluorographic unit, approximate cost ,75,000, the Medical Committee recommends that this be answered in the affirmative. This unit is on the previously listed Birthday Offering items.

(]2) In reply to an overture from Kwangju Station, the Medical Committee recommends that it be given authority to make final proposal to the Mission as to the use of the Women1 s Birthday Offering Funds to be used for capital investments, this proposal to come before the Mission after the total amount of the gift is known. An annual recommendation will be submitted to the Mission as to the use of funds to be used in the ten year program. After final approval by the Mission, disbursement of the funds shall become the responsibility of the Station involved.

(13) In addition to the *5,000 for a photofluorographic unit, the Medical Committee recommends aprroval for advanced spending from the Birthday Offering as follows:

1. $2,000 for a laundry for Graham Memorial Hospital.

2. $5C0Q00 for anesthesia equipment for Graham Memorial Hospital,

These funds are to come from the $4,000 previously approved for laundry and equipment for the sanatorium.

(14) The Medical Committee recommends adoption of the following state- ment of institutional policy:

1. That the Mission recognizes that its major medical institutions should eventually come under the jurisdiction of well-qualified Korean Christian leadership. However, the Mission feels that it would never be wise for such institutions to come under the full control of an ecclesiastical organization of the Presbyterian Church. Rather, we envision that such transfer of authority should be to a corporation which by charter shall maintain perpetual affiliation to the Presbyterian Church. This charter would also

Report #10 (con!t)

set forth in unchangeable articles the basic evangelistic purpose for which the institution was founded; and in regard to the Medical 0 enter should emphasize its continuing function as a higher training center for Christian doctors, nurses, and technicians.

2. That, in view of the highly specialized nature of medical institutions, of their dependence for the foreseeable future upon medical supplies from the United States, and of the necessity for specialized professional supervision, the Mission does not contemplate transfer of administrative responsibility in the near future0 It is the policy of the Mission, however, to establish advisory councils composed of missionary and National membership . Such councils shall initially have advisory function only, but may as qualified national leadership becomes available, come to share progressively in administrative responsibility.

(15) The Medical Committee wishes to express to Rev. Hugh Linton and to Reva David Parks its appreciation for their untiring efforts in the installation of the elevator in the Medical Center.

(16) In reply to an overture from Dr. Levie for permission to resign from the Mission, the Medical Committee recommends that the Mission express to Dr* and Mrs. Levie cur deep aprreciaticn-for their willingness to return to the field after an absence of many years, cur complete satisfaction with the character and quality of their work, and our earnest hope that they will find conditions such that they can finish their term of service in Korea.

(17) The Medical Committee recommends that Dr. Choi Sun Hi be assimilated temporarily into the organization of the Graham Memorial Hospital, and her salary be paid from the balance of the Mokpo Public Health Budget for 1957.

Report #12

REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMITTEE FOR STATION MINUTES

The Station Minute Books have been read and approved, with corrections noted. Mokpo Station is to be especially commended for its neat and accurate records.

1* The Committee recommends that the Minutes be kept in permanent type books and that the Minutes be consistent in form and neat.

2. It has come to the attention of this Committee that in some of our Stations, tVere are occasional Station meetings held over the telephone. Since all members of the Station do not have an opportunity to attend these meetings, and it is evidently difficult to keep records of such meetings, we recommend that such Station Meetings be discontinued.

REPORT ON THE FORMATION OF A JURIDICAL PERSON FOR THE R. M. WILSON

LEPROSY COLONY

In September, 1956, a Permit from the Korean National Government was given to the "R.M, Wilson” Leprosy Colony to form a separate Juridical Person for the Colony.

The two hundred buildings of the Colony have all been transferred to this new Juridical Person.

Of our Real Estate, 259 pieces of property have been transferred, which includes all the property within the Colony Compound, and most of the land we own outside the Colony. A few pieces, formerly Japanese Government property, are still not transferred, but the Korean National Government has promised to make this transfer in the near future.

This Juridical Person secures all the property from any great danger of loss, but has required an expenditure of about $1,500.

The five members of this Juridical Person are the following: Hugh McIntyre

Linton, Thomas Dwight Linton, Robert Lee Smith, Jack Brown Scott and Elmer Timothy Boyer.

Report #17

REPORT OF TEE PUBLICITY COMMITTEE

The Committee studied the goals set up last year by the Publicity Committee to determine vhat procedure to take in plans for the new year, j.1 was found that very few of these plans had materialized. However, iz was reported that many articles were sent in to the Board individually, and that several very good articles had been sent in through this Committee and had appeared in recent publications of the Board,

The following is a report of the number of articles written from the individual stations: Chun j u 3, Kwangju 7, Mckpo 0, Soonchun 0, Taejon 2. Although Mokpo Station eent in no articles, one M3C.D, letter from Mckpo Station was selected to be sent to all 500 names on the mailing list of the Candidate Department,

The Committee would urge the missionaries to write more articles, to send them in to the Committee so that over-lapping might be avoid cd and so that all areas of work might be publicized and not limited to one particular^ phase of our work. The Committee is mimeographing a list of possible topics for articles fci' our church magazines, and you are urged to write articles and send them to this Committee to be forwarded to the Board, cr at least reported to this Committee.

We recommend s

(1) That emnhasis continue to be placed on the writing of articles and stories iron each Station aiming toward a goal of an article each month from each Station,

(2) That the members of the Mission cooperate in planning a slide program to present the work of the Mission, Miss Huneycutt to college these slides and write the script.

Report #19

REPORT OF TAEJON PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE

There is reason for special thanksgiving to God for His blessings upon the College during the past year. Although there is yet much to be desired, it seems to the members of the College Committee that remarkable progress has been made since this venture in the field of higher education was launched just two years ago.

The permit to operate Taejon Hak-wun was received from the Ministry of Education in March, 1956. The first class, numbering 82 students, began their work at the College in April of last year. These students have manifested a fine spirit in spite of a number of difficulties. Since there are no permanent College buildings, space is provided fgr classrooms, library, and chapel in quonset huts obtained from the Army. Personal economic difficulties or army draft calls have forced many students to drop out of the first class. Of the eighty-two that matriculated, there are thirty-nine at present studying in the second year.

One of the interesting aspects of College activities is the student work scholarship program for deserving students. These scholarships granted on the basis of the student *s scholarship standing have helped many who otherwise would not have been able to study. These scholarships include work in the library, on the farm, in the orchard, work in the College office, dormitory duties, etc., a thirty-percent reduction in school fees is granted to all girls, to the children of ministers in our churches and qualified evangelists in our church and to the children of those directly employed in other of our Mission institutions.

A word of special praise is due the President, Mr. W. A. Linton and Mr.

K. R, Crim who have carried the ball from the very beginning. The stead- fast faith that this project was the Will of God inspired these men to undertake and successfully launch a program which few would have even dared to consider. In addition to these men, we must not forget the untiring efforts of the other members of Taejon Station and the Korean Staff Members,

Report #19 (conH)

Construction of the main academic building vas begun in June of last year and unless there ^ is' some unforeseen delay, the building will be completed for occupancy, isi the fall*

Application vas made fof a regular College Permit in December 1956 with the following departments : Bible, English, Chemistry and Physics and 'Math.

The Ministry flf Education has assured the President that with the completion of' the blailding now under construction, the College Permit will be granted. However, in order to operate at full strength (four classes), the Ministry of Education will expect us to provide 2,000 pyung of building area. And in addition to the need for more classroom space, there is particular need for new Korean faculty homes. In April of this year, the second class was received, numbering 77 students. The fees for the new year are 98,000 Hwan for the year for new students*

We appreciate the fact that the Board has granted scholarships to Mr. Kin Hong Jun with the idea thfet he would com© back to Korea to serve on the faculty cf the College. Another Vofd of appreciation to the Board is given for the provision of a scholarship in the current year for Mr. Pak Chu Whan and Mr* Kim Koon He, with the understanding that upon their return, they will serve on the College faculty.

We recommend:

(1) That we overture the Mission for a work budget of -*15,000 for 1958.

(2) That we overture the Mission to substitute for (l) College Dormitory on the Class VIII Askings ”the next College Academic Unit” - #4G»000 - and urge the Mission to place this much higher on the Priority List.

(3) That we overture the Mission to put (l) College Dormitory - $25,000 - further down on the Class VIII Askings.

We covet the continued prayers and interest of the members of the Mission in this effort to develop strong Christian leadership.

KORiA

Volume I, Number 1 Autumn 1957

The Situation IT has been said that Korea is the only country in Asia besides the Philippines that could be predominantly Christian in the foresee- able future. Though at present only three per cent of the population is Christian, the increase in the total number of Christians in the last few years has been amazing. Protestants in South Korea number about 1,324,000. In Seoul alone there are 400 churches where there were only 30 in 1941 ; Taegu, which had seven Protestant churches in 1941, now has 170 con- gregations. A large group of young people is study- ing for Christian work: 550 students are preparing for the ministry at the Presbyterian seminary in Seoul, and 900 evangelistic workers are training in four Pres- byterian Bible institutes. Some of the phenomenal growth is due to a flood of Christian refugees from the north, where the Church was strongest before parti- tion; but even apart from this there is no mistaking the tremendous new momentum of Christianity since the Korean War.

The million and a half Christians have an influence out of all proportion to their numbers. Many of them hold government office. They are doing a great deal to make homes for orphans, widows, and the handi- capped. Radio station HLKY in Seoul is one of the few Christian radio stations in the world.

Korea is ihe first non-Christian country to establish a chaplain corps within its armed forces. The corps is open to leaders of all religions, but only Christians have taken advantage of the opportunity. “Character guidance” courses taught by the chaplains are an un- beatable opportunity to present the good news of Christianity to every raw recruit and to help draftees in the staggering jump from paddy field to drill ground. The result: ten per cent of the armed forces are Chris- tian as compared to three per cent in the rest of the population.

The Dark Side the picture is encouraging, but not completely rosy. Uneasy rumblings are still coming from the 38th parallel. The problems left

by war: orphans, widows, penniless refugees (every fifth person is a refugee), destroyed housing, schools, hospitals, and churches, the hundreds of pastors killed by fighting or persecution— these make the job of the Church immeasurably more difficult.

Another shadow in the picture is division among the churches; but though Korec has discovered some of the issues that divided the growing first century Church, it has also discovered the singleness of purpose and dedication to one God that made quarrelsome first century Christians a model of faith for us today. It takes a long while for a new Christian to apply his new faith to everything he does. The virtues of patience, love, and self-discipline are not learned overnight. Pray that Korean Christians and their various denomi- nations will move closer together as they grow in the knowledge and love of God.

The Lord Provides HE was a real country boy. The village where he lived was so re- mote that in seventy-five years of mission activity in Korea no one had ever preached there. There were no Christians; in fact, no one had even heard of Christ. Tong Ryul, for that was his name, lived with his father in a mud and straw shack on the edge of the village, where they owned a tiny plot of ground and a rice paddy or two.

Tong Ryul hiked to school in a neighboring town every day, and it was there that he first heard about the Christians. He was in the seventh grade when the first Christian came to his village. A year later he joined a catechumen class and was baptized. Though his father refused to come to the church for his son’s baptism, Tong Ryul declared, “I'll believe in Jesus till I die yes, even if the Communists come back from the north and cut off my head, I’ll believe in Jesus!’’

Financially Tong Ryul had his troubles. When he finished junior high school, he could not graduate be- cause he could not pay his fees. Church members in the U.S.A. came to his rescue; the fees were paid, and

he was admitted to Pierson Memorial Bible School in Seoul to train for evangelistic work.

The first week he was in Seoul, Tong Ryul asked Ben Sheldon, a Presbyterian missionary, for an old blanket. “Don’t you have one of your own?" asked Mr. Sheldon. “What happened to the one you used at home?”

“Oh,” replied Tong Ryul, “my father and I had only one between us, and when I left home, of course I could not bring it with me.” Tong Ryul was a hard worker and earned part of his way; his living expenses were cared for by American young people.

A year ago nineteen-year-old Tong Ryul preached his first sermon at a young people’s meeting in Seoul’s West Gate Church He blushed a little when he told about it, afraid that he might seem boastful. His text had been Acts 4:1 2, “and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Young as he is, Tong Ryul is on his way to taking his place in the work of the Church of Jesus Christ.

... In Prison And Ye IF you happened to have busi- Came Unto Me ... ness with the women in the

national prison on West Gate Street in Seoul, you would notice that some of them are wearing an unusual symbol on their left arms. It is the Korean word for “holy”, and the women who wear it have found a new life as Christians.

It all came about through the work of Mrs. Harold Voelkel. Early in 1 955 she and Mrs. Kim Hay-su started a Bible correspondence class for twenty women con- victs. The two teachers visited those who were sick in their chilly, crowded cells. They brought warm cloth- ing and found layettes for babies born in prison. They made good friends among both prisoners and guards. Soon guards began to tell Mrs. Voelkel of a change taking place in some of the prisoners. For instance, there was frail Hongsie. She was a widow after the war, sick and without a way to make a living. In des- perate straits she killed her baby and tried to kill her-

self. In prison for murder, she joined the Bible class and became a Christian.

The original class of twenty women has grown into three classes with a total of over eighty students. One hundred nine convicts have become Christian and sixty have renounced Communism. In May of this year Mrs. Voelkel received a citation from Ho Lee, South Korea’s Minister of Justice, for her effective work in rehabili- tating the women.

The women are not forgotten when they leave the prison. The Christian “Loving Friends Home” for re- leased prisoners gives them a place to stay and helps them find a job. Jobs and housing are scarce in South Korea; it would be all too easy to go back to the old way of life. Recently the building became the home of four children os we!! os releosed prison orc. Born in prison, they were two to four years old and too big to stay with their mothers any longer. Mrs. Voelkel rescued them from an overcrowded city orphanage and brought them to “Loving Friends Home” until they could move to a Christian orphanage where they could get more attention and better food.
